Penis enlargement surgery in Turkey

Lengthening surgery divides the suspensory ligament that tethers the penis to the pubic bone. The penis then hangs lower and looks longer when flaccid; the erect length does not change, because the erectile tissue is the same, and the erection may point lower or feel less stable. Without months of stretching or a traction device after surgery, the divided ligament scars back and the gain is lost or reversed. Removing the fat pad above the penis by liposuction, or lifting the skin there, uncovers length that was already present; in men with a large pad this is the most visible and the least risky change on offer.

Girth procedures add bulk under the skin of the shaft. Hyaluronic acid filler is injected in a clinic visit, is reversible, and is absorbed over a year or so, so it has to be repeated. Fat grafting takes fat from the abdomen and injects it around the shaft; part of it is absorbed unpredictably and the rest can form lumps, so the result is uneven and often needs a second round. A silicone sleeve implant placed under the skin gives a permanent, fixed increase in girth in both flaccid and erect states, at the price of a foreign body that can collect fluid, become infected, shift or work its way out, and that some men have removed. Grafts of processed dermis sit between these options.

• Lengthening (ligament release)

  Modest gain in flaccid length only; erect length unchanged; erection angle may drop; needs months of traction afterwards or the gain reverses.

• Fat pad removal or pubic lift

  Uncovers existing length in men with a large fat pad; the smallest operation with the most visible change; weight loss achieves part of the same thing.

• Girth by filler or fat

  Filler is temporary and repeatable; fat is partly absorbed and can lump; both can be uneven and both can be corrected only with difficulty.

• Girth by silicone implant

  Permanent and even, but a foreign body: seroma, infection, shifting and extrusion are the reported problems, and removal leaves scarring.

Fat pad removal is a form of liposuction; the general risks and limits of that operation are on the liposuction page.

1. 1

   Consultation and measurement

   A urologist or plastic surgeon examines you, measures flaccid, stretched and erect length and girth, asks why you want the operation and what result you expect, and screens for erectile problems and body image disorder. Records and photographs go in the file.
2. 2

   Choosing the procedure

   Ligament release, fat pad removal, girth by filler, fat or implant, or a combination, matched to what you actually want to change; the surgeon should say plainly what each will and will not do.
3. 3

   Preparation

   Blood tests, stopping smoking and blood thinners, treating any skin or urinary infection first, and for implants a hair-free, infection-free field.
4. 4

   The operation

   Filler is a clinic visit under local anaesthetic. Ligament release, fat grafting and implants take one to two hours under general or spinal anaesthesia, usually as a day case or with one night in hospital.
5. 5

   Early recovery in Turkey

   Swelling, bruising and discomfort for one to two weeks; a catheter for a day in some cases; no sexual activity for several weeks; wound checks before you fly. Implants need the wound watched closely for fluid and infection.
6. 6

   Traction and follow-up

   After ligament release, daily stretching or a traction device for months is part of the operation, not an optional extra. Girth results are judged after swelling settles; fat and filler are reassessed for absorption and lumps.

• Men whose measurements are normal and whose distress is severe. The operation does not treat the distress; counselling does.
• Men with erectile dysfunction, curvature or premature ejaculation. These have their own treatments; enlargement does nothing for them and can make erections worse.
• Men who cannot commit to months of traction after ligament release. Without it the operation reverses.
• Smokers, uncontrolled diabetes, active skin or urinary infection. Infection and wound failure rise sharply, and an infected implant is a lost implant.
• Men expecting a change in erect length. No operation delivers it.
• Anyone under the age of majority or being pressured by someone else. No clinic should operate.

• Technique and combination. A filler session, a ligament release, fat grafting and a silicone implant are different sums, and combining them adds theatre time.
• Implant or material. Implant brand and size, filler volume, or the harvesting and processing of fat.
• Anaesthesia and hospital. Local in a clinic versus general or spinal in a hospital with a night's stay.
• Traction device and aftercare. The device, dressings and follow-up visits, included or not.
• Revision and removal cover. Whether a second round of fat, correction of lumps or implant removal is included, and for how long.
• Follow-up. Visits before you fly and any remote review afterwards.
