What is penis enlargement?
Surgery offers the only permanent solution for penis enlargement in men. Surgery can increase length (penile lengthening) or girth (penile circumference). This typically involves penis enlargement in Turkey through fat grafting, release of the suspensory ligament, and other methods.
Concerns about penis size are common among men. Thanks to advanced technology and exceptional clinical expertise, this issue can be easily addressed.
Penis enlargement, also called phalloplasty or penile enhancement surgery, is a procedure in Istanbul, Turkey, that aims to increase the length or girth of the penis in a man who is unhappy with its size.
Some procedures aim to increase the total length of the penis, while others may only increase girth. This is determined by the patient’s preferences, medical evaluation, and the surgeon’s advice. Some patients may choose a penile implant as an alternative, particularly common in men suffering from erectile dysfunction. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and lasts about 45-60 minutes.
What is the average penis size?
The largest review available, which includes up to 15,521 men measured by healthcare professionals, puts the average at 9.16 cm when flaccid, 13.24 cm when stretched and 13.12 cm when erect[1]. Men complaining of a too-small penis were excluded from these measurements.
What methods of penis enlargement are available in Turkey?
There are different types of penis enlargement surgery in Turkey that a man can choose from:
Penile length enhancement surgery
This procedure aims to increase the flaccid length of the penis by an average of 2 cm. It does not significantly change the size of the erect penis. In this surgery, the urological surgeon performs a ligamentolysis: he cuts the suspensory ligaments that attach the penis to the pubic bone. Then, a skin graft is placed at the base of the penis, giving it extra length.
Penile girth enhancement surgery
This procedure aims to increase the thickness of the penis both when flaccid and erect. It involves lipofilling, a minor liposuction technique in which fat is harvested from the abdomen, thigh or buttocks. The isolated fat is purified using a technique that improves the quality of the fat, which is then injected along the penis to increase its girth. Many specialists report that an increase in circumference of 1.4 to 4 cm can be achieved.
Penuma
In this procedure, a device is inserted under the skin of the penis to make it appear longer and wider. The device is a crescent-shaped implant made of medical-grade silicone. It comes in different sizes and is designed to fit the shape of the patient’s penis. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision just above the base of the penis and inserts the Penuma device. This device stretches the skin and tissue of the penis so that it looks larger and feels comfortable to the touch.
Liposuction
This is a surgical procedure in which fat is removed from the lower abdomen to reveal up to 2 cm of the penis that was previously buried. Removing excess fat from the pubic area can give a partially hidden penis a more prominent appearance. This procedure can be a solution for men who are overweight. However, if the man regains weight, the fat in the pubic area will return and may cause the same problem again.
What alternative methods to penis enlargement are there?
Penile implant surgery is an effective alternative, but it is more common in men suffering from erectile dysfunction. In this case, an artificial implant is placed inside the penis to help the man achieve an erection.
Implants are of three main types: malleable/rigid, two-piece inflatable, and three-piece inflatable. The choice of implant depends on the patient’s preference, medical condition, overall health, and other factors. There are non-surgical alternatives to penis enlargement surgery, such as pills and ointments, vacuum devices, penile extenders, and stretching and weight techniques.
Is hyaluronic acid an alternative to surgery?
Hyaluronic acid injection thickens the penis without incisions, for £1,700 to £2,700 in Turkey. Systematic reviews rank these fillers among the best-tolerated procedures, but they highlight the low quality of studies[2]. The same techniques are also offered in Tunisia and Spain.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Penis enlargement surgery in Turkey is an effective procedure that has helped many men resolve their concerns about penis size. The operation itself takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You can return to your hotel the same day or stay overnight after the operation, as it may take some time for the effects of the anaesthesia to wear off.
Some patients may even need to stay two nights in the hospital, but this depends on the patient’s general health and any risk of complications. The medical team monitors the patient during the hospital stay. For cosmetic surgery in Turkey, most patients plan to stay at least 10 to 14 days in the country. During the stay, the surgeon will schedule a follow-up appointment to check the initial recovery.
What is the recovery process after penis surgery?
Usually, patients can return to work within a week if they have a desk job that involves no strenuous physical activity. If the job is physically demanding, returning to work may take about two weeks. Full results may be visible within three to six months after the operation.
It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting and exercise, for about six weeks. Patients are advised to refrain from sexual intercourse for about four weeks.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Is penis enlargement painful?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so it is not painful. The following days involve swelling and discomfort, which are managed with painkillers prescribed on discharge. The discomfort decreases significantly after a week, when the dressings are removed.
What are the risks of penoplasty?
Complications are not uncommon, and the reference review notes that none of the techniques used has been independently validated[3]. Learned societies reserve these procedures for situations where the risk-benefit ratio has been carefully weighed with the patient[4].
Is psychological support required before the operation?
Yes, international recommendations make it a systematic prerequisite for any request for augmentation[4]. When structured support is offered, the majority of men understand that their anatomy is normal and no longer wish to undergo surgery[3]. This consultation takes place before the surgical workup.
Do extenders and vacuum pumps add inches?
Penile extenders can lengthen the flaccid penis by less than 2 cm, provided they are worn for several hours a day over several months. Vacuum pumps, however, do not increase size[3]. Injections can thicken the penis, but complications are common[3].
Does the procedure leave visible scars?
The scar from the lengthening procedure is located at the base of the penis, in the pubic fold, where hair regrowth largely conceals it. It remains red for several months before fading. Its final appearance depends on the patient’s skin and adherence to wound care instructions.
Is the operation covered by the NHS?
No. Penis enlargement is a cosmetic procedure with no medical necessity: it is not covered by the NHS or private health insurance, whether the surgery is performed in the UK or abroad. The full cost of the procedure is the patient’s responsibility.
When can I fly home after the procedure?
The return flight is arranged at the end of your stay, after the post-operative check-up and once the surgeon has given the go-ahead. Leaving too early carries a risk of thromboembolism due to immobility. Regular walking and compression stockings are recommended on board.
