At one time or another, most men have wished their penises were larger. This is not a good reason to have penis enlargement surgery. For some, however, the size of the penis is worrying and leads to poor self-esteem, anxiety or depression. For these men, increasing the girth or the flaccid length of the penis may be worth the risks.
Penises come in various sizes and shapes. Rarely is one so small that it poses an insurmountable problem either urinating or during sexual intercourse.
If you suffer considerably due to the size or shape of your penis, it is worth talking about it with your doctor. This does not necessarily mean you need to have surgery. Learning to accept your penis and not attach your sense of self worth to it may be the most appropriate course of action.
If, however, you have done your research about the risks and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of your surgery, then you may be a good candidate for this procedure.
What to expect
Penis enlargement surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. You can go home within a few hours of surgery, after recovering from the effects of anaesthesia. Penis lengthening and penis widening can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. You should discuss these options with your surgeon. The two procedures can be performed together or separately.
Pain after surgery is to be expected, but varies from person to person. Your surgeon will prescribe medication to help with the pain.
For non-surgical penis enlargement, the procedure is a rather quick injectable procedure. There is no hospital or anesthetic needed. There is some pain, but ice and pain relief can be used to reduce any discomfort. You can have the procedure at the same time as your consult and typically can be performed in less than 1 hour.
Before and after surgery
There are a number of things you can do leading up to any kind of surgery.
You should also be prepared to avoid sex or masturbation for at least six weeks after the procedure.
There are a number of things you can do following any surgery.
Specific things to do after penis enlargement surgery:
- When you wake up in the recovery room, your pubic area will be bandaged. Resist the urge to look under your bandages. Keep them on until you next see your surgeon. You don’t want to get an infection by exposing the wound area.
- Keep the dressing dry by washing in the basin, not the shower. It is important to clean the area as directed by your surgeon.
- If you’ve had a penile lengthening procedure, make sure you wear the penile weights as directed by your surgeon. This ensures the suspensory ligament heals in a position where more of your penis is exposed outside your body.
- Itching is common after surgery. It will resolve as you heal. Your scars may take a full year to fully diminish or disappear. Follow your surgeon’s instructions on scar-healing treatments.
- You should expect to be back to most normal activities (excluding sex) about a week after a penis enlargement procedure.

Risks and complications
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved in penis enlargement surgery. You should be fully aware of these before you consider surgery.
The best way to reduce risk is to find a fully qualified surgeon with formal training in penis enlargement who has a lot of experience with the procedure.
Make sure you familiarise yourself with the list of complications that could arise as a result of any surgery
Specific complications that may occur after penis enlargement surgery:
- The penis is sensitive, and the risk of a permanent reduction or loss of sensitivity should be taken seriously and discussed with your surgeon.
- As was explained at the beginning of this article, fat transfers are often reabsorbed into the body, causing patients to be unhappy with the results. Fat can also be reabsorbed at different rates in different places, resulting in a lumpy or irregularly shaped penis.
- Dermal grafts require a donor site. Thin men may not have any potential sites at all. The scar may become almost invisible, but scarring is unpredictable and may be obvious.
- An uneven appearance to the penis as a result of fat necrosis (fat cell death) is possible and may need to be corrected with further surgery.
