Who is this procedure for?
Penile augmentation surgery is intended for adult patients with a well-considered and stable request.
You may consider this procedure if a morphological dissatisfaction is causing real psychological distress.
Realistic expectations regarding the results are essential before any decision is made.
Certain situations may lead to a temporary or permanent contraindication, particularly coagulation disorders, an active infection, or psychological instability.
Consultation process
Initial assessment
The consultations allow for a precise analysis of your request, a discreet clinical examination, and a discussion of the possible technical options.
You will discuss the anatomical limitations, the expected results, and the post-operative constraints.
A detailed quote will be provided to you, along with the legal reflection period.
Pre-operative preparation
Preparation includes biological tests, an anesthesia consultation, and appropriate medical instructions.
Stopping smoking and certain medications may be recommended to optimize healing.
The exact procedures will be specified on a case-by-case basis, depending on the technique considered.
The procedure in practice
Anesthesia and duration
The procedure can be performed under general anesthesia or deep local anesthesia, depending on the chosen indication.
The operating time is generally around one to two hours.
Outpatient care may be considered depending on the situation.
Technical principles
Lengthening involves releasing the suspensory ligament, allowing for a visible gain on the flaccid penis.
Widening uses lipofilling, which consists of reinjecting your own purified fat.
These techniques can be combined, depending on the indication determined during the consultations.
Post-operative recovery
The recovery period frequently includes swelling, bruising, and temporary local sensitivity.
Local care and wearing supportive underwear may be prescribed.
A gradual return to daily activities is expected, with a temporary abstinence from sexual intercourse and sports.
Regular medical follow-up will monitor healing and the evolution of the results.
Results and scars
The results are assessed progressively, after the swelling has subsided and the tissues have stabilized.
The gain primarily concerns the penis at rest; the length when erect remains anatomically unchanged.
Scars are discreet, generally hidden in natural areas.
Satisfaction depends on the alignment between initial expectations and surgical possibilities.
Risks and possible complications
Like any surgery, penile augmentation surgery carries potential risks, although they are infrequent.
These may include infection, hematoma, scarring issues, or a result deemed insufficient.
Clear information and rigorous follow-up help to minimize these situations.
Any post-operative anomaly should prompt an immediate medical consultation.
Fees and coverage
Penile augmentation surgery for aesthetic purposes is not covered by health insurance.
The cost depends on the chosen technique, the operating time, and associated expenses.
An indicative price range can be provided during consultations, along with a personalized quote.
Certain reconstructive indications may be subject to a specific assessment, depending on the medical context.
