Penile Enlargement (Phalloplasty)

What to Expect

In a popular women’s magazine survey, about 77% of both men and women answered that size DOES matter.

When asked which is more important, length or girth, 64% of women answered that GIRTH is more important.

Average erect girth is about 5 inches in circumference.

Our recommended method of penis widening uses a graft.

The grafts are inserted through the same pubic incision that is used for penile lengthening. Thus, both lengthening and widening are often performed together. The grafts are wrapped around the penis shaft underneath the skin and secured in place.

Within about 6 weeks, there is tissue ingrowth that also attaches the grafts.

Typical gains of 0.5 – 1.5 inches in circumference have been achieved depending on penis size and the number and thickness of the grafts used.

No incision is made on the penis itself.

The gain varies depending on penis size, body build, and the amount of post-operative stretching performed.

In some cases, additional procedures to lengthen the penis and to reduce the pubic fat pad with either pubic liposuction or pubic lift, or excision of the peno-scrotal web can be performed to enhance the results.

The surgery is done under local anaesthesia with sedation and lasts for 60 minutes.

You will likely go home after 3-4 hours after your surgery.

After the surgery, do not drive, operate heavy machinery, sign important documents or drink alcohol for 24 hours after anesthesia.

The incision must be kept dry until completely healed. Only sponge baths are permitted - avoid showers or swimming.

Avoid excessive walking, prolonged standing or heavy lifting for the first week following surgery. Exercise can usually be resumed in 4 weeks after surgery.

Sexual activity can usually be resumed in 6 weeks.

You can go to work after 3 – 4 days post surgery.

Some swelling and bruising are common after surgery and usually resolve within 1-2 weeks.

Your physician will prescribe antibiotics and pain medications to be taken following your surgery.

Avoid aspirin or aspirin-containing products for at least 2 weeks after surgery.

Avoid smoking until your healing is completed (usually 4 weeks).

You should be seen within 24 hours of your surgery for a check-up and instructions on post-operative dressing changes.

After that, you should be seen on a weekly basis until healing is completed.

Penis stretching exercises are usually begun 6 weeks after penis widening.
