Who is this procedure for?
The penoplasty is intended for men who express morphological concerns related to the diameter or length of the penis, mainly at rest.
The request is often based on psychological impact, loss of confidence, or an old complex.
The procedure does not treat erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction.
A personalized assessment allows for the evaluation of the project’s feasibility and coherence.
Consultation process
The consultations aim to analyze the request, examine the anatomy, and explain the possible technical options.
A regulatory reflection period follows the provision of information and the quote.
Expectations are discussed to avoid any unrealistic projection on the outcome.
The discussions also cover the technical limitations, the aftercare, and the known risks.
Preparation and pre-operative assessment
Preparation includes a clinical examination, a pre-operative biological assessment, and an anesthesia consultation.
A smoking cessation may be recommended to limit scarring complications.
The technical choices depend on the morphology, available donor sites, and expressed objectives.
A detailed quote specifies the planned procedures and expected outcomes.
The procedure in practice
Technical principles
The enlargement is based on penile lipofilling.
The fat is harvested, purified, and then injected homogeneously around the corpora cavernosa.
The lengthening at rest may involve releasing the suspensory ligament, with associated skin plasty depending on the case.
The techniques respect known nerve and vascular structures.
Anesthesia, duration, hospitalization
The procedure is most often performed under general anesthesia, sometimes under locoregional anesthesia with sedation depending on the indication.
The operative duration varies depending on associated procedures, generally between one and three hours.
Management can be done on an outpatient basis or with a short hospital stay, depending on the chosen modalities.
Surgical procedures are not performed within the clinic.
Post-operative care
The aftercare involves swelling and temporary bruising.
Pain usually remains moderate, controlled by appropriate treatment.
Simple local care accompanies the healing phase.
The resumption of sexual intercourse is usually considered after three to four weeks, depending on the evolution.
Results and scars
The result evolves progressively, with a more reliable assessment after several weeks.
A partial resorption of the injected fat may occur, varying among patients.
The increase mainly concerns the diameter, at rest and erect, while the lengthening mainly concerns at rest.
The scars remain discreet, located in inconspicuous areas.
Risks and possible complications
Like any surgery, penoplasty carries known risks.
These include in particular infection, hematoma, asymmetry, excessive fat resorption, or contour irregularities.
A decrease in the angle of erection may occur after ligament release.
Detailed information allows for an informed decision, based on expected benefits and limitations.
Fees and coverage
Cosmetic penoplasty is generally not covered by health insurance.
Coverage may be considered in specific medical situations, subject to evaluation.
As an indication, depending on the procedures performed, a personalized quote will specify the overall cost after pre-operative consultations.
