Why consider penoplasty?
Nearly one in two men feels that his penis is too small or too thin. This self-consciousness is sometimes called “locker room syndrome”, referring to concerns experienced in changing rooms.
For many men, penis size is associated with masculinity, and a penis perceived as too small can become a significant source of insecurity, just as some women may feel self-conscious about small breasts. A man may feel this way even when his penis is of average size: a flaccid penis measures around 7 to 11 cm in length, with a circumference of approximately 7.5 to 10.5 cm. These concerns can affect everyday life and self-confidence, particularly in relationships with women, and may even lead to avoiding sexual activity.
The aims of surgery
Two procedures may be offered: penis lengthening and an increase in penile circumference, sometimes combined.
The aim is to improve self-confidence and the patient’s perception of his masculinity. The procedure does not improve sexual performance or increase the size of the erect penis.
The importance of your first consultation
Like any cosmetic surgery procedure, penoplasty involves risks you need to understand, preoperative examinations and protocols to follow.
Your first consultation is an important opportunity to receive precise, personalised and professional answers to your questions.
The aim is for you to leave with all the information you need to make your decision.
How is the procedure performed?
The surgeon uses a technique suited to their practice and, above all, tailored to the patient to achieve the best possible result.
For penis lengthening, the surgeon generally divides the suspensory ligament, allowing the penis to project a few centimetres further forward.
Please note that this does not increase the length of the erect penis.
For girth enhancement, the surgeon uses lipostructure: purified and prepared fat from the patient’s own body is grafted evenly along the length and circumference of the penis. The transferred fat remains but behaves like other body fat: losing 15 kg, for example, will affect the result.
+ What type of anaesthesia is used?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
What is recovery like?
Rest is required, and sexual activity must be avoided for one month after surgery. The penis is generally swollen and bruised; this usually subsides after around three weeks. Careful hygiene is essential.
What complications are possible?
As with any operation, complications can occur, either related to the surgical procedure or to anaesthesia.
Although complications affect only a small percentage of patients, you need to be aware of them. Your surgeon will explain all possible complications in detail during your consultations.
What results can you expect from penoplasty?
Results are difficult to predict before surgery because they depend on several factors. In general, the flaccid penis gains two to three centimetres in length and approximately one to two centimetres in circumference.
The psychological benefits can be significant, often improving the patient’s sense of wellbeing and self-confidence.
