The length, girth and overall appearance of the penis are important for many men in terms of self-confidence and quality of life. Congenital structural features, weight gain, fat accumulation in the pubic area or anatomical causes can cause the penis to be perceived as shorter or thinner than it actually is.
Penis enlargement (penile lengthening and thickening) surgery covers the surgical and surgically supported methods developed to address these problems, based on scientific principles.
How Is Penis Enlargement Surgery Performed?
The basic principle of penile lengthening surgery is the controlled release of the suspensory ligament that anchors the penis to the pubic bone. By cutting this ligament, the portion of the penis that remains inside the body is gained outward.
As a result of this procedure:
A permanent lengthening of approximately 2 to 5 cm can be achieved in the externally visible length of the penis
The aesthetic appearance improves
The base of the penis becomes more prominent
The procedure should be performed by experienced surgeons while preserving the vascular and nerve structures of the penis.
Surgical and Supportive Methods Applied
The penis enlargement procedure is often planned by applying more than one technique together.
Suspensory Ligament Release
By releasing the ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone, the portion of the penis that remains inside the body is brought outward. This method forms the basis of penile lengthening surgery.
Supra-Pubic V-Y Plasty
By reshaping the skin over the base of the penis, the lengthening effect is supported. Over time the incision scars lose their prominence.
Supra-Pubic Liposuction
Fat tissue accumulated in the pubic area can make the penis appear buried. By removing the fat in this area, an additional visible lengthening of up to 1 to 1.5 cm can be achieved.
Peno-Scrotal Plasty
By correcting the skin junction between the penis and the scrotum, the penis length is perceived as longer and more aesthetic.
Thickening of the Penis
The penis thickening procedure is often performed together with lengthening surgery. The most reliable method is thickening performed with fat grafts taken from the person’s own body.
Synthetic filler materials are not preferred
Approximately 60% of the injected fat is permanent
An average circumferential thickening of 1.5 to 2 cm can be achieved
If necessary, the procedure can be repeated after 6 months
Penile Lengthening and Thickening with Tissue Engineering
The tissue engineering method is one of the most advanced and permanent methods in penis enlargement surgery. In this technique, cells obtained from the patient’s own tissue are multiplied through special procedures and transferred to the penis together with support tissues.
The advantages of this method:
Since the body’s own tissue is used, there is no risk of rejection
It provides more permanent results compared to fat injection
Both lengthening and thickening are achieved together
The hospital stay is usually 1 to 2 days, and after the procedure the results are supported with special care and controlled vacuum applications.
The Post-Operative Process
The surgery takes approximately 1 hour
Discharge the next day
A 6-week ban on sexual intercourse and masturbation
Support with lengthening devices for 3 months
The process is closely monitored with follow-up visits
The aim is to make the achieved lengthening permanent and safe.
Our Approach to Treatment
Penis enlargement procedures are planned individually for each patient. The anatomical structure, expectations and general health status are evaluated in detail.
All procedures are:
In the light of scientific data
With current surgical techniques
Performed with patient privacy and safety as the priority.
