Penis Enlargement
The purpose of the surgical procedure "penis enlargement" is to "take out" the part of the penis that is inserted to its external part in the pelvic region. In many cases, patients also have infra pubic fat where the inner part of the penis is hidden. Another technique that can complement this surgery is a scrotoplasty, since there are patients who have a scrotum with a lot of skin, which also covers part of the penile shaft.
The penis arises from the bones of the pelvis; therefore it has a large part of its length inside the body. By severing a ligament that holds it in place we can move it forward by up to 3 cm. This means that the penis remains the same length but the view from the outside is that it is larger. It is very important that the patient understands this so as not to create false expectations.
A good examination of the patient is essential to assess the possible retraction of the suspensory ligament of the penis, as well as the presence of fat in the pubis that masks the penis (genital adipose syndrome). In this case we can offer a pubic liposuction, which unmasks the penis.

Frequently Asked Questions about Penis Enlargement Surgery
How is it assessed whether the patient is fit for penis enlargement?
An exhaustive examination of the patient is carried out to assess the possible retraction of the suspensory ligament of the penis, as well as the presence of fat in the pubis that masks the penis (genital adipose syndrome).
What is the penis enlargement technique like?
The technique for penile enlargement consists of severing the suspensory ligament and the lateral or cuneiform ligaments. With this procedure, the penis is removed outside the pubic area, resulting in a visible increase in penis length. It also includes liposuction of pubic fat and scrotoplasty.
What is the result of this surgery?
The first thing we establish is not to create false expectations: a cosmetic possibility is offered to get the phallus or penis to show more outwardly. With this surgery, a gain of between 2 and 3.5 centimetres can be obtained.
What is the patient's follow-up treatment after the operation?
After this surgery, it is necessary for the patient to do manual stretching exercises or the use of a mechanical stretcher during the month following the surgery, to prevent the penis from returning to its previous position.
What are the conditions of duration, anaesthesia and hospitalisation?
It is estimated to last between 90 minutes and 120 minutes. The anaesthesia is local with sedation and does not require hospitalisation.
What are the post-operative recommendations?
- Bed rest until the next day, when the first treatment is carried out.
- Quiet life without effort for a week.
- The stitches are reabsorbed without the need for removal.
- Patients go home without a catheter.
