Penis Enlargement
Operation Description
Surgical penis enlargement is an operation during which the male genital organ is enlarged in width, length, or both simultaneously.
Procedures applied for this intervention include:
- Ligamentolysis
- Liposuction
- Lipofilling
When extending the penis, considering that between half and a third is hidden and attached to the pubic bone, one of the techniques applied at Colić Special Hospital is ligamentolysis. This method involves releasing two ligaments, the fundiform and suspensory, which connect the penis to the pubic bone. This way, the male genital organ is lengthened by approximately 2-3 cm.
For increasing the girth or width of the penis, fat tissue transfer is performed. The liposuction method is used to extract fat, process it, and inject it into the penis using lipofilling, thus increasing the penis's girth. Additionally, in men with excess abdominal fat, removing these quantities visually creates the effect of a longer penis with evident thickening.
Two medical conditions that may be indications for penis enlargement are micropenis and buried penis. Micropenis, a condition present at birth, is described as a penis that, in erection, reaches a maximum length of 7 cm.
Buried penis or hidden penis is a term describing a male genital organ that appears concealed and is challenging to detect, usually due to the fat covering it. In this situation, liposuction of excess fat tissue is performed, further enhancing the size of the penis.

Candidates
Reasons for penis enlargement can be of aesthetic or medical nature. Candidates may include:
- Men dissatisfied with the length and/or width of their penis
- Men looking to enhance their sexual experience
- Men with medical indications such as micropenis or buried penis
Preparation
Before the penis enlargement procedure, specific preparatory steps are taken. The patient undergoes an examination by an internal medicine specialist to approve the induction of general anesthesia.
To prevent the risk of increased bleeding, ten days before the operation, patients should stop taking medications and supplements affecting blood clotting, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aloe vera, and other herbal mixtures. Additionally, smokers are advised to quit smoking at least a month before the intervention for smoother surgery and recovery.
Operation time
Penis enlargement is performed under general anesthesia. After administering anesthesia, an incision is made in the root of the penis, i.e., the suprapubic region. From there, access is gained to the suspensory ligament, which is separated from the pubic bone, increasing the length of the penis. The next step is circumcision, removing excess skin under the glans of the penis, and the incision is sutured with absorbable threads. If an increase in the thickness of the penis is desired or generally necessary, liposuction is also performed. Liposuction extracts excess fat tissue from the abdominal region, which is processed and finally injected into the penis, making it thicker. The duration of the surgery is from 1 to 1.5 hours.
Recovery
After the procedure, the patient stays overnight. Since it takes up to six weeks for the wounds to heal and the normal functionality of the penis to be restored, sexual intercourse should be avoided throughout this period. This is advised because achieving an erection can cause pain during recovery and prolong wound healing. It is also recommended to avoid intense physical activity, swimming, and sauna to reduce the risk of irritation and infections. The doctor will provide advice regarding penis hygiene after this procedure.
Safety precautions
Expected after this intervention are pains and discomfort, especially when sitting, so it is recommended to sit less. Pain relief medications may be prescribed if necessary. Swelling and tingling sensations may occur less frequently, and if they do, they usually resolve within a few days. More serious complications, as with other surgical procedures, include bleeding, infections, hematomas, and unwanted reactions to anesthesia. By adhering to the preoperative and postoperative advice of the doctors, these complications are successfully avoided.
Price
The cost of penis enlargement ranges from 2500 to 4500 euros. The exact price depends on whether only an increase in the length or only an increase in the width of the penis is performed, or both. Services included in the price of the surgery are:
