Penis Thickening (Own Fat Transfer)

Increasing the circumference of the penis can be achieved through the technique of injecting one’s own fat into the penis.

Fat injections were the first technique developed by surgeons and can increase circumference by up to 50%. However, the results of this procedure are unpredictable, as the fat is often reabsorbed by the body. The amount of fat reabsorbed varies from 25% to 90%. To allow for this reabsorption, surgeons usually inject more fat than necessary.

Most men want their penises to be larger. This is not a good reason for penis enlargement surgery. However, for some, penis size is a concern and leads to low self-esteem, anxiety, or depression. For these men, increasing the circumference or flaccid length of the penis may be worth the risks.

Penises come in different sizes and shapes. Rarely is one so small that it poses an insurmountable issue with either urination or sexual activity.

If you are significantly distressed by the size or shape of your penis, it may be worthwhile to discuss it with your doctor. If you have researched the risks and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes, then you may be a good candidate for this procedure.

Penis enlargement surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. You can go home within a few hours after surgery, once you recover from the effects of anesthesia. Penis lengthening and thickening can be performed under local or general anesthesia. You should discuss these options with your surgeon. The two procedures can be performed together or separately.

Pain after surgery is expected but varies from person to person. Your surgeon will prescribe medications to help with the pain.
