Penis Lengthening and Girth Enhancement

About Penis Lengthening and Girth Enhancement Surgery
Penis lengthening surgery or penis girth enhancement surgery can be performed separately, or these procedures can be performed together.

As a filling material, the patient’s own fat is used with the lipofilling (fat injection) method.

After penis lengthening and girth enhancement surgery, healing is rapid and patients can return to normal activities within a few days after the procedure. Sexual abstinence for 4-6 weeks is recommended during the healing period. After the procedure, occasional stinging and burning sensations, as well as itching and redness along the suture line, may occur for up to 5-6 months and are considered normal.

Surgical scars generally form between the skin folds at the base of the penis and do not usually cause discomfort after healing. Surgical scars are more noticeable during the first months and improve from the sixth month onward.

Surgery:

What is penis lengthening and girth enhancement surgery?
In penis lengthening surgery, the connective tissue called the suspensory ligament, located where the penis joins the body, is released. This allows the penis to appear approximately 2 cm longer in its normal state. There may be no change in length when the penis is erect. For girth enhancement, the patient’s own fat tissue is injected under the skin, increasing the diameter of the penis both in its normal and erect state.

What is the purpose of penis lengthening and girth enhancement surgery?
The purpose of penis lengthening and girth enhancement surgery is to enlarge the penis so that it is thicker and longer, including when erect.
