Penises vary in terms of shape and size, and according to various studies, the average flaccid size of a penis is 9.16 cm or 3.16 inches. As the name implies, Penis enlargement surgery is aimed at increasing the length and thickness of the penis. Penis enlargement can also be referred to as penile enhancement or phalloplasty. 

 It is perceived as the only procedure that gives a permanent solution to the enlargement of the male organ, and it has no impact on fertility. After this procedure, the average increase in size is 2.54 cm or 1 inch. 

Penile lengthening has evolved over the years and has been undertaken by hundreds of thousands of men. With each advancement, the procedure has become much safer and effective. In carrying out this surgery, two common techniques are used. One focuses on increasing the size of the penis, while the other aims at enhancing its girth. However, it is still a complex procedure, and there is a need for a collaborative approach between plastic surgery and urology. 

Although the results of this surgery vary from one patient to the other, below is a general list of the possible outcome: 

• The penis length can be increased by 2 or 3 cm. 
• 1 cm enhancement when the penis is erect. 
• The circumference increases by 20-40%. 
• Penis glans volume increases by 20-40%

• It’s for men who have a condition called micropenis – a penis that is less than 3 inches. 
• A man who feels like his penis is not proportional to his body frame. 
• It’s for men who suffer from a condition called Peyronie or a painful erection. 
• People with a positive attitude and are generally in good health. 
• Adults. 
• Men who are willing to go for weeks without smoking or drinking alcohol.

As one will be waiting for his surgery appointment, the surgeon will clarify the whole procedure, explaining every stage involved in the operation. Patients are expected to discuss their previous surgeries if any, and notify the surgeon if they have allergies. It is also of paramount importance to take a break from smoking on the day of surgery. This will help in ensuring better healing. Regardless of the surgery method, patients are advised to desist from taking aspirins, herbal medications, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The average duration of a penis enlargement surgery is one and a half hours. At the beginning of the surgery, the surgeon will administer medication for the patient’s comfort. Just like any other plastic surgery, general anesthesia will be given to the patient so as to make the area of treatment numb. During this surgery, the patient’s blood pressure, oxygen circulation, pulse, and heart will be closely monitored for safety reasons. 

As stated above, there are two methods of performing penis enlargement surgery. Depending on the patient’s interests, these methods can be performed collaboratively or not. These techniques are explained in great detail below. 

• Method 1. Lengthening the penis. Nearly three-quarters of the penis is hidden inside the body, just underneath the pubic bone. A small incision on the pubic area is made, and through that incision, the pelvic bone and the penis are separated by cutting the ligament that connects them. This will therefore free the ligament on the outward penis, allow much of the penis to be more visible outside the body. This is method increases the size of the penis by revealing more of the hidden part. After this procedure, the penis’ erection will be pointing downward, but this will not affect its normal function.  

Method 2. Widening the penis. This procedure is aimed at enhancing the thickness or girth of the penis. It is performed by inserting fat cells from any other part of the body into the penile shaft. The fat cells may be extracted from the patient’s thighs, stomach or buttock through a process known as Liposuction. That method has proved to be more effective since the tissues being used are from the same body.

Following the surgery, the patient’s penis is bandaged for 10 to 12 days, and the bandages should be constantly changed. Abstinence from sexual activities is advised so as to promote speedy healing. The ability to urinate will remain unaffected. If there is pain, the surgeon will definitely prescribe painkillers. 

The patient who went through the penis lengthening procedure would need to use stretching devices daily for six months so as to prevent the reattachment of the ligament. It is vital to realize that the duration of time it takes for recuperation differs incredibly among people. Complete results of the penis enlargement surgery are usually noticed from three to six months.

Penis enlargement is expensive in countries like Germany, the UK, Spain, the U.S., Canada, and Australia. It’s usually reserved for the affluent in those countries. But, in Turkey, specifically at Luna Clinic, people who travel to Turkey for penis enlargement can save 60% to 70% of the amount they would have spent in their home countries.
