What is penis aesthetics?

Penis aesthetics covers procedures that change the appearance or shape of the penis. Some address appearance only, while others treat problems that also affect function. The main procedures are:

• Girth enhancement: adding volume around the shaft with your own fat, hyaluronic acid filler or a tissue graft
• Increasing visible length: releasing the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone, or reducing pubic fat
• Buried penis repair: uncovering a penis hidden under pubic fat or excess skin
• Curvature correction: surgically straightening a curve that is present from birth or caused by Peyronie's disease
• Circumcision revision: correcting asymmetry or excess skin left after circumcision

The wider scope of genital procedures is covered on our genital aesthetics page.

How is penis aesthetics performed?

Depending on the method, it is done by injection under local anaesthesia or as surgery under general or regional anaesthesia. Surgical procedures usually take one to two hours.

1. Consultation: The doctor assesses the anatomy, any curvature and erectile function, sometimes with ultrasound or photos taken during erection.
2. Planning: Your expectations and the realistic limits of the method are discussed, and written consent is taken.
3. Procedure: For girth, fat or filler is placed under the skin of the shaft with a cannula. For ligament release, a small incision is made above the penis. For curvature, stitches are placed in the outer layer of the erectile tissue or a graft is used.
4. Dressing: The area is wrapped and the care and follow-up plan is explained.

After ligament release, the doctor may recommend a traction device for a period to stop the ligament healing short again.

Who is penis aesthetics suitable for, and who is it not?

Penis aesthetics is considered for adult men with a clear curvature, a buried penis, a circumcision problem or realistic expectations about size. A urologist or plastic surgeon decides on suitability after an examination.

Many men who seek treatment for size have measurements within the normal range. In that case the doctor may suggest information and, if needed, psychological support instead of surgery. The procedure is usually postponed or not advised in these situations:

• Untreated erectile dysfunction
• The active, painful phase of Peyronie's disease
• An active genital infection
• Uncontrolled diabetes or a bleeding disorder
• Previous injection of petroleum jelly, paraffin or silicone
• Intense anxiety about body image

How long is recovery, and are the results permanent?

Most men return to daily activities within one to three weeks. After surgery, sex is usually avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first weeks.

Permanence depends on the method. Surgical curvature correction and ligament release make permanent changes. Part of transferred fat is absorbed, while the surviving fat stays long term. Hyaluronic acid filler is absorbed over time and needs repeating.

What are the risks of penis aesthetics?

The risks vary by method, and some can affect sexual life. The main risks are:

• Infection, bleeding and a collection of blood under the skin
• Changes in sensation of the head or shaft
• Lumps, irregularities and asymmetry after fat or filler
• A change in erection angle and shortening from scar tissue after ligament release
• Some loss of length or return of the curve after curvature correction
• A result that does not meet expectations

Injections of petroleum jelly, paraffin or silicone given by non-doctors can cause severe inflammation and tissue loss. See a doctor at once if pain increases, you develop a fever or the skin changes colour after a procedure.

How do the methods of penis aesthetics differ?

The methods differ in the problem they target and how lasting they are.

What affects the cost, and how do you choose a doctor?

The cost depends on the method and the scope of the procedure. The main factors are:

• Injection or surgical method
• Amount of filler, graft or fat used
• Type of anaesthesia and hospital stay
• Whether several procedures are combined
• The city where the facility is located

The final fee is set after a consultation. In Turkey, these procedures are performed by urologists and plastic surgeons. Ask about the doctor's experience in this area, the realistic limits of the suggested method and its possible effects on sexual function. You can compare doctors who perform these procedures by city in the doctor listings.
