Traditionally aesthetic procedures and treatments have been very popular among women who wish to change or improve their appearance. The last couple of decades though there is an increased interest for this field from men who want to take advantage of the significant progress, aesthetic and cosmetic medicine had done and more recently there has been a trend for more and more individuals looking to improve the appearance of the male genital area. This has led to the appearance of a new informal sub-specialty called Aesthetic Andrology that employs various surgical and non-surgical techniques to enhance the appearance of male external genitalia.

This unfortunately came with a major problem as many untrained surgeons and medical providers tried to take advantage of this emerging field, leading to unfavorable results for the patients using inappropriate, experimental, or even dangerous techniques and materials and by misleading advertisement so as to what can be achieved. Thus, concerns were raised about the efficiency and safety of those procedures with numerous legal claims against clinics and surgeons from patients experiencing life changing complications in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States.

The reality though is different as aesthetic Andrological procedures performed from trained and skilled Urologists with extensive experience, based on the correct indications and following a detailed consultation regarding the expected outcomes and risks can really give to the patient the desired outcome. Therefore, we cannot emphasize enough,

• The importance of proper guidance in choosing the right modality, which will meet the patient’s needs. 
• The value of an honest and unbiased consultation from an experienced surgeon.
• The significance of the surgeon’s surgical skills.
