Penis Aesthetics

Penile aesthetic surgeries are common procedures in the field of male sexual health, often sought by individuals looking to enhance the appearance or function of their genital organs. These procedures can include penile enlargement or reduction, correction of curvature, as well as cosmetic modifications to the glans or lengthening of the penis.

Potential medical benefits of penile cosmetic surgery include:

• Correction of congenital deformities such as penile curvature or changes in length or girth that may cause functional or psychological problems.
• Treatment of penile atrophy or loss due to injuries or surgeries like penile cancer. Some cosmetic techniques restore the natural function and appearance of the organ.
• Improvement of sexual functions such as erection and ejaculation, especially in cases of erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation caused by anatomical changes.
• Enhancement of psychological well-being and self-confidence in patients suffering from distress related to the appearance of their genitalia.
• However, these procedures are often considered more cosmetic than medical, so each case should be individually evaluated before deciding to undergo surgery.

You will be prepared for surgery as follows:

• Before the procedure, you will undergo comprehensive lab tests to assess your general health and suitability for surgery.
• You may be asked to temporarily stop taking certain medications, such as antiplatelets or anticoagulants.
• It is recommended to stop smoking at least two weeks before the procedure to reduce the risk of complications.
• You will also receive pre-surgical psychological counseling to help you mentally prepare for the operation and its outcomes.
• You will need to fast for at least 12 hours prior to surgery, in accordance with medical protocols.
• After the surgery, clinical photographs will be taken to document results and compare them with pre-surgery images to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure.

Medical procedures used for penile aesthetic enhancement include the following:

1. Penile enlargement: Involves cutting the suspensory ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone, and pulling abdominal skin toward the base, making the penis appear longer. Girth is increased by injecting fat taken from other parts of the body into the penis.

2. Correction of penile curvature: May involve suturing the straight side, removing and replacing the curved tissue, or inserting supportive materials inside the penis for alignment.

3. Fat injection: Fat is extracted from areas like the abdomen or buttocks, purified, and precisely injected under the penile skin to gradually increase size naturally.

4. Penile deformities: Changes in skin color or shape, or glans deformities due to infections or conditions, are treated using creams, medications, or surgery depending on the cause.

5. Revision circumcision: This procedure corrects issues after a previous circumcision, such as excess or adhered skin. It involves removing scarred or redundant tissue and reshaping the glans and circumferential area.

Recovery time after penile aesthetic surgery varies depending on the type of procedure, the patient's condition, and their adherence to medical advice. In general, patients should follow these postoperative care tips:

• Rest and avoid exertion or sexual activity for 2 to 6 weeks.
• Care for the wound, change dressings, and apply antibacterial ointment.
• Take prescribed medications, such as antibiotics or pain relievers.
• Avoid smoking, alcohol, or medications that affect blood circulation or erection.
• Elevate the scrotum and apply ice to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Consult a doctor immediately if any issues arise, such as infection, bleeding, clot formation, or erectile dysfunction.

Risks that may occur after penile cosmetic surgery include:

• Infection at the surgical site.
• Swelling of the penis.
• Pain during erection.
• Formation of scars.
• Blood clots in the penile tissue.
• Sexual dysfunction.
• Failure of the procedure and need for revision surgery.
