Penile enlargement surgery

Penile enlargement surgery is a generic term describing all the different techniques used to increase the length or the girth of the penis.

Penis size has historically been a symbol of masculinity, fertility and superiority to other males as well as an indirect indicator of sexual performance. It is therefore not surprising that over the centuries various attempts have been made to increase its size. Examples are the hanging of heavy objects on the penis to lengthen it, as mentioned in some native African tribes, as well as the injection of various materials (paraffin oil, etc.) to increase the thickness. The most modern techniques date back to the 80’s when, in order to gain some extra length, various quite complex and usually not very successful operations were carried out. During the last twenty years, due to the growing interest in such operations, various approaches have been developed which, in experienced hands, can give the patient the desired result.

Techniques for penile enlargement are generally divided into:

• Lengthening or girth enlargement 
• Surgical or non-surgical

Those can be performed individually or combined when the patient wants to.
