Penis Enlargement and Thickening

What is Penis Enlargement and Thickening Surgery?

Penis enlargement and thickening surgery is a surgical procedure performed to increase the size and girth of the penis in men. This procedure can be done to enhance either the length or thickness of the penis.

Reasons for Procedure

Penis enlargement and thickening surgery may be performed for the following reasons:

• • Dissatisfaction with the size or girth of the penis
• • Penile curvature
• • Penile injury

Types of Surgery

Penis enlargement and thickening surgery are performed in two main types:

• • Penile lengthening surgery: This surgery involves cutting the ligaments at the base of the penis to allow for lengthening.
• • Penile thickening surgery: This surgery involves thickening the penis using methods such as fat injection, tissue expanders, or prosthesis placement.

Fat injection: In this method, fat harvested from the patient's own body is injected into the penis. This method can increase the thickness of the penis by 1-2 cm. Penile thickening surgery using fat injection can be performed under local anesthesia. There may be pain and swelling in the penis after surgery. It may take several weeks or months for the penis to fully heal.

Tissue expander: In this method, a device placed in the penis gradually stretches the tissues. This method can increase the thickness of the penis by 2-3 cm. Penile thickening surgery using a tissue expander can be performed under general anesthesia. There may be pain and swelling in the penis after surgery. It may take several months for the penis to fully heal.

Prosthesis placement: In this method, a prosthesis is placed in the penis. This method can increase both the thickness and hardness of the penis. Penile thickening surgery using prosthesis placement can be performed under general anesthesia. There may be pain and swelling in the penis after surgery. It may take several weeks or months for the penis to fully heal.

Postoperative Recovery

After penis enlargement and thickening surgery, the following recovery process may occur:

• • Pain and swelling may occur in the penis after surgery.
• • It may take several weeks or months for the penis to fully heal.
• • Sexual intercourse should be avoided during this time.

To ensure proper healing after penis enlargement and thickening surgery, it is important to carefully follow your doctor's instructions.
