Penis Enlargement FAQs

What are the most popular procedures for penis enlargement?

For penis girth, surgical and non-surgical options are available. Surgical options involves degloving the penis and wrapping it with a bovine or dermal graft, which will vascularize to the shaft and provide permanent girth. Non-surgical options include the use of dermal injections under the skin layer of your penis, providing you with instant girth.

Dermal filler injections range from long-term (temporary) to permanent, depending on the filler product you choose.

For lengthening, you can also choose between surgical and non-surgical options. The surgical option is known as ligamentolysis, which involves the severing of the suspensory ligaments found internally to allow some "inner penis" to extend forward, yielding more length. This is often coupled with a stretching regimen to fully manifest gains. Alternatively, the P-Long protocol offers a non-surgical means of lengthening through a prescribed routine that employs a professional-grade stretching device, penis pump, and proprietary supplementation (including PRP) over the course of several months. According to one study, the P-Long Protocol can result in gains of up to 1 inch in length and a 1/2 inch in girth.

What are popular fillers for girth enhancement? What are their pros & cons?

Among the popular fillers used for penile enhancement, three types stand out: PMMA, Ellanse, and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). PMMA is a permanent filler and is available in the U.S. under the brand name Bellafill and internationally under the name Linnea Safe. Ellanse and HA are long-term temporary fillers, which provide girth but may require future top-ups. Ellanse is only available in Europe and Latin America, while HA is available worldwide. Hyaluronic Acid stands out for its exceptional safety profile among fillers. It is a naturally occurring substance in the body that has been specially formulated for use as a dermal filler.  Fat grafting is a surgical technique in which donor tissue is collected from another part of the body and transferred to the penis. This method can also be used as a filler for penile augmentation.  The benefit of a permanent filler like PMMA is that once you achieve your desired results, the effects are long-lasting. However, in the unlikely event of complications (as with any procedure), removing PMMA can be costly and invasive. While major complications related to PMMA penile enhancement appear to be rare, it is important to consider this potential risk.

On the other hand, long-term temporary fillers offer the advantage of easier management in case of complications. However, it is important to note that you will need to plan for top-ups every few years, which can be a logistical and financial consideration.

Is general anesthesia typically required for penis enlargement surgery?

The majority of procedures discussed on the PhalloBoards are non-surgical or minimally invasive, and can usually be performed using local anesthesia. For instance, dermal filler injections involve numbing the penis, allowing patients to remain awake and pain-free during the procedure. These treatments typically last around an hour and are reported by most men to be straightforward and smooth. However, highly invasive procedures (typically involving grafting or degloving) may require general anesthesia.

How long is the expected hospital or clinic stay, and what is the estimated recovery time?

Most penis enlargement procedures discussed can be completed on an outpatient basis, with no need for an overnight stay. Dermal filler injections require no downtime once the procedure is complete. However, it's recommended to avoid sexual activity or masturbation for up to 2 weeks following dermal filler injections and for up to 2 months after grafting surgery or as advised by your physician.

What kind of size gains can I expect to see from these penis enlargement surgery procedures?

The outcome will depend on the type of procedure you choose, your doctor's recommendations, and your personal goals. However, in general, most men report an increase in circumference of up to 0.75 inches, which is a significant improvement. Additional gains may be possible with subsequent appointments, depending on the procedure. Length gains can be less predictable and are influenced by factors such as the patient's anatomy and adherence to a prescribed stretching regimen. Many men report greater improvements in flaccid gains, although erect gains are also achievable.

How can I best prepare for my procedure and what should I expect during the recovery process?

The extent to which you need to prepare for the procedure will vary depending on the specific type of procedure you undergo. We recommend that you contact your doctor's office and request pre-op and post-op protocols. Additionally, many men have reported beneficial results from taking collagen supplements, practicing stretching and pumping routines, and temporarily quitting smoking to help their bodies acclimate to the new size and facilitate recovery and healing.  You may find it helpful to explore the PhalloBoards 3.0 Forums to learn from the experiences of other men who have undergone similar procedures. Engaging with the community through discussion can also provide an opportunity for you to share your own insights and gain additional support.

What are the possible risks and complications associated with these procedures?

When performed by a licensed and experienced practitioner using medical-grade products, the risk of complications associated with these procedures is relatively low. However, due to the experimental nature of phalloplasty, there are currently no concrete or official statistics available regarding the types, severity, or frequency of complications. That being said, conventional wisdom suggests that the risks are similar to those associated with other cosmetic procedures that use similar methods, such as facial and buttock injections.  The most significant complication associated with dermal fillers tends to be foreign-born granulomas, which are hard lumps that result from an inflammatory response. Fortunately, there are medical interventions available to treat this condition. With surgical procedures, the most significant risk is an increased exposure to infection. It is not uncommon for doctors to prescribe antibiotics post-op to minimize these risks.  It is strongly advised against and universally condemned by all PhalloBoards Sponsors and Clinics to inject large volumes of silicone oil into the penis. The risks of complications are significantly higher and managing them can be much more challenging due to the increased likelihood of migration. Silicone oil is best used in small amounts and via a micro-droplet technique, especially in areas such as the face.

When performed correctly, the procedure should not pose any risks to the form, function, or health of the penis. You should not experience any adverse effects on urination, ejaculation, or erections.

Are there any other procedures or surgeries besides penis enlargement?

Yes, there are various procedures available for testicular enhancement. One option is a silicone implant, while another option is a dermal filler. In addition, some clinics offer scrotal webbing procedures to remove excess skin, and glans enhancement procedures that involve injecting Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Non-phallic/scrotal procedures such as the mons pubis (fat pad reduction) can also be performed, which involves the liposuction of fat around the base of the shaft to improve both the size and appearance of the penis length.

Can the results of penis enlargement surgery procedures provide a natural look and feel?

When performed by a skilled practitioner, results of penis enlargement procedures can often appear and feel natural. While there may be minor irregularities or nuances that only the patient can perceive, they are often undetectable to others such as partners or medical professionals. However, if a patient aims to achieve excessive size, the results may become noticeable. This is similar to a woman undergoing a breast augmentation that radically increases her cup size, resulting in an obvious indication of the procedure.

Are these procedures covered by health insurance? Is financing an option for payment?

Because these procedures are typically considered elective, it is unlikely that health insurance would cover the cost. However, there may be exceptions for individuals with micro-penis or those who have experienced trauma or injury. If this applies to you, it's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider to see if they offer any coverage.  Regarding financing, it's best to contact the individual clinic directly to inquire about their specific financing options. You can find a directory of vetted practitioners in your region on our website.

What about penis enlargement pills and supplements?

The PhalloBoards is focused on the penis enlargement procedure itself, but there are wide discussions on various pills, supplements, and techniques that you see throughout the internet.

Can I view before and after penis enlargement surgery pictures?

Yes. The Before and After Gallery on the PhalloBoards has images from REAL men who have undergone the procedure and are graciously sharing their results and experiences.

While the decision to undergo such a procedure is highly personal and should be carefully considered, understanding the potential benefits can help individuals make informed choices regarding their health and well-being.

Self-Confidence and Psychological Well-Being


One of the primary perceived benefits of penis enlargement surgery is the potential improvement in self-confidence and overall psychological well-being. For some men, concerns about the size or appearance of their penis can lead to feelings of inadequacy or diminished self-esteem, impacting their intimate relationships and self-image. Addressing these concerns through surgery may lead to increased confidence and a more positive self-perception.

Improved Sexual Satisfaction


While penis size isn't directly correlated with sexual prowess or satisfaction, some individuals believe that a larger penis could enhance sexual experiences for both partners. Penis enlargement surgery aims to increase the length or girth of the penis, potentially providing individuals with a greater sense of sexual satisfaction and intimacy. However, it's essential to note that sexual satisfaction is multifaceted and involves various emotional and physical factors beyond size alone.

Potential Impact on Relationships


Improved self-esteem and confidence resulting from penis enlargement surgery may positively impact intimate relationships. Greater confidence in one's appearance and sexual abilities could lead to increased intimacy and communication between partners. However, it's crucial to recognize that a healthy relationship relies on various factors beyond physical appearance.

Penis Enlargement FAQs

What is penis enlargement surgery?

Penis enlargement surgery, also known as phalloplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size of the penis. There are various techniques used in this procedure, including the insertion of a tissue graft or the release of ligaments to allow more of the penis to be exposed. Some surgeries also involve injecting fat or dermal fillers into the penis to increase its girth.

Can a man increase his penis size?

While there are many products and techniques on the market that claim to increase penis size, the scientific consensus is that it is very difficult to permanently increase the size of the penis beyond its natural growth during puberty. Some methods, such as penis pumps, stretching devices, and surgery, may offer temporary or minimal increases in size, but they often come with risks and potential side effects.

How does penis enlargement surgery work?

Penis enlargement surgery involves one of two main procedures: lengthening or widening. Lengthening procedures involve releasing the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone, allowing it to protrude further outside the body. This can give the appearance of increased length, although it may not affect erect length significantly. Widening procedures usually involve injecting fat or tissue grafts into the shaft of the penis to increase its girth. These surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia and may involve a combination of techniques depending on the patient's goals and anatomy.

What are the different types of penis enlargement surgeries available?

One common procedure is penile lengthening surgery, which involves cutting the ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone, allowing more of the penis to be visible outside the body. Another type is penile girth enhancement, which typically involves injecting fat harvested from the patient's body into the shaft of the penis to increase its circumference. Additionally, there are procedures like penile implants, where inflatable or malleable rods are surgically inserted into the penis to provide rigidity and enhance size.

What is the cost of penis enlargement surgery?

The average cost of penis enlargement surgery varies depending on factors such as the type of procedure, geographic location, and the surgeon's experience. Generally, the cost can range from $5,000 to $8,000 or more.

What is the recovery process like after penis enlargement surgery?

The recovery process after penis enlargement surgery typically involves several stages. Initially, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the genital area, which can be managed with pain medications and ice packs. It's important to refrain from sexual activity and strenuous physical activity for a few weeks to allow the area to heal properly. Patients may also need to wear a supportive garment to reduce swelling and provide added comfort. As the healing progresses, patients can gradually resume normal activities.

How soon can one resume sexual activity after penis enlargement surgery?

The timing for resuming sexual activity after penis enlargement surgery can vary depending on the individual's healing process and the specific surgical technique used. In general, it is recommended to wait at least four to six weeks before engaging in sexual activity to allow for proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

Are the results of penis enlargement surgery permanent?

In some cases, the increase in size achieved through surgery can be permanent, particularly if the procedure involves lengthening or widening the penis through surgical means such as tissue grafting or implants.

Can penis enlargement surgery improve sexual performance?

Penis enlargement surgery may improve sexual performance for some individuals, but it's not a guarantee. The surgery typically increases the length or girth of the penis, which could potentially enhance confidence and satisfaction during sexual activities. However, sexual performance is influenced by various factors such as physical health, psychological well-being, communication skills, and relationship dynamics.

How long does it take to see results from penis enlargement surgery?

The timeframe for seeing results from penis enlargement surgery can vary depending on the specific procedure performed and individual factors such as healing time and post-operative care. Generally, initial swelling and bruising may subside within a few weeks, allowing patients to see some immediate changes in size. However, it may take several months for the full results to become apparent as the tissues continue to heal and settle into their new shape.

What factors should be considered before undergoing penis enlargement surgery?

Individuals should thoroughly research the procedure, its potential risks, and the qualifications of the surgeon performing it. It's important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery and understand that results may vary from person to person. Individuals should consider their overall health and whether they have any underlying medical conditions that could affect their ability to undergo surgery safely. Cost is also a significant factor, as penis enlargement surgery can be expensive and may not be covered by insurance.

Are there any non-surgical alternatives to penis enlargement surgery?

Alternatives include vacuum devices, such as penis pumps, which can help increase blood flow to the penis and temporarily enhance its size. There are various exercises and techniques, such as jelqing and stretching exercises, which claim to promote penile growth over time through tissue expansion. Some individuals also explore the use of supplements or creams containing ingredients like L-arginine, ginseng, or maca, which are believed to improve blood flow and sexual function.

Girth Enhancement Surgery: A Comprehensive Overview


Girth enhancement surgery has emerged as a topic of growing interest and debate. While discussions surrounding cosmetic surgery often focus on procedures like breast augmentation or liposuction, girth enhancement surgery addresses a different aspect of body modification, primarily targeting the enhancement of penile girth in men. Let's dive into the intricacies of girth enhancement surgery, exploring its procedures, potential benefits, risks, and considerations.

Understanding Girth Enhancement Surgery

Girth enhancement surgery, also known as penile girth enhancement or penile augmentation, involves procedures aimed at increasing the circumference or thickness of the penis. Unlike procedures for length enhancement, which primarily focus on increasing penile size when flaccid or erect, girth enhancement aims to increase the thickness of the penis, particularly during erection.

Types of Girth Enhancement Procedures

Fat Transfer


One common method involves the transfer of fat from another part of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, to the penis. The fat is harvested through liposuction, processed, and then injected into the penile shaft to increase girth.

Dermal Fillers


Another approach utilizes dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based injections, to augment penile girth. These injections are administered directly into the penile tissue, providing temporary enhancement.

Penile Implants


In some cases, penile implants may be used to achieve girth enhancement. These implants are surgically placed within the penile shaft to increase its circumference permanently.

Potential Benefits

Increased Confidence: For individuals who are dissatisfied with their penile girth, girth enhancement surgery may lead to increased self-esteem and confidence.

Improved Sexual Satisfaction: Some individuals and their partners may experience increaed sexual satisfaction as a result of increased penile girth.

Correcting Congenital or Acquired Deficiencies: Girth enhancement surgery can address congenital conditions or acquired deficiencies that affect penile size and shape.

Risks and Considerations

Surgical Risks: As with any surgical procedure, girth enhancement surgery carries inherent risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Unsatisfactory Results: The outcomes of girth enhancement surgery may vary, and some individuals may not achieve the desired level of enhancement.

Temporary Nature of Some Procedures: Procedures involving dermal fillers may offer temporary results, requiring repeat injections to maintain girth enhancement.

Psychological Considerations: It's important for individuals considering girth enhancement surgery to have realistic expectations and to understand that physical changes may not necessarily lead to improved psychological well-being.

Ethical and Psychological Considerations

The decision to undergo girth enhancement surgery is deeply personal and may involve complex ethical and psychological considerations. It's vital for individuals to undergo thorough counseling and consultation with qualified healthcare professionals to receive informed decision-making and to address any underlying concerns or expectations.

Final Thoughts

Girth enhancement surgery represents a niche within the realm of cosmetic procedures, offering individuals the opportunity to increase penile girth and address concerns related to self-esteem and sexual satisfaction. While the procedures involved may carry risks and considerations, for some individuals, the potential benefits may outweigh the drawbacks. As with any elective surgery, careful deliberation, research, and consultation with medical professionals are essential to make informed decisions regarding girth enhancement surgery. The goal should be to prioritize patient safety, well-being, and satisfaction above all else.

Penis Enlargement Surgery: The Science, the Surgery, and the Satisfaction


The pursuit of physical perfection often extends beyond conventional exercise and dieting. For some individuals, particularly men, the desire for enhancement in certain areas of their anatomy, such as penis size, leads them to explore surgical options. Penis enlargement surgery, also known as penile augmentation or phalloplasty, is a procedure that aims to increase the length or girth of the penis. Before considering such a step, it's important to understand the science behind it, the surgical process involved, and the potential outcomes and satisfaction rates.

The Science Behind Penis Size

The fascination with penis size isn't merely cultural; it's deeply rooted in psychology and biology. For many, the size of their genitalia is tied to self-esteem, sexual confidence, and perceptions of masculinity. However, it's vital to dispel some myths surrounding penis size. While media and pop culture often perpetuate unrealistic standards, studies consistently show that the average penis size falls within a certain range, and there's no universal definition of what constitutes an "ideal" size.

In reality, the penis comprises complex anatomical structures, including erectile tissue and blood vessels, which determine its size and function. The length of the flaccid penis doesn't necessarily correlate with its erect size, as various factors like blood flow and arousal come into play. Sexual satisfaction and performance involves more than just size; factors such as communication, technique, and emotional connection play significant roles.

Understanding Penis Enlargement Surgery

Penis enlargement surgery is a serious medical procedure that involves various techniques aimed at increasing either the length or girth of the penis. The two primary surgical approaches are:

Lengthening


This procedure involves releasing the suspensory ligament, which attaches the penis to the pubic bone. By cutting this ligament, the portion of the penis anchored within the body is freed, allowing it to extend further outside the body. However, this method primarily affects flaccid length and may not significantly increase erect length.

Girth Enhancement


Girth enhancement procedures aim to increase the circumference of the penis. This can be achieved through techniques such as fat transfer, where fat is harvested from another part of the body and injected into the penile shaft, or dermal fillers, which involve injecting substances like hyaluronic acid under the skin to add volume.

It's important to note that penis enlargement surgery carries risks and potential complications, including infection, scarring, and dissatisfaction with results. The procedure may not always deliver the desired outcomes, as individual responses vary, and expectations should be realistic.

The Satisfaction Factor

One of the most critical aspects of any surgical procedure, including penis enlargement surgery, is the satisfaction level of the patients. While some individuals report increased confidence and satisfaction following the procedure, others may experience disappointment or regret. Factors influencing satisfaction include the patient's expectations, the skill of the surgeon, and post-operative care.

Studies examining patient satisfaction with penile augmentation surgery have yielded mixed results. While some research indicates high levels of satisfaction and improved self-esteem and sexual confidence, others suggest that the outcomes may not always meet expectations, particularly regarding length gains. Additionally, complications such as asymmetry, nodules, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic results can impact overall satisfaction.

Let's Sum It Up

Penis enlargement surgery remains a controversial topic, with proponents advocating for its potential to improve self-esteem and sexual satisfaction, while critics caution against unrealistic expectations and potential risks. Before considering such a procedure, individuals should engage in thorough research, consult with qualified medical professionals, and carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks.

True satisfaction and confidence stem from self-acceptance and embracing one's unique attributes. While surgical enhancements may offer temporary solutions, the journey towards self-assurance often involves a deeper exploration of self-worth beyond physical appearance. As society continues to evolve, promoting body positivity and healthy attitudes towards sexuality remains paramount in creating a culture of acceptance and empowerment.
