What is penis enlargement?
Penis enlargement (penis augmentation) is a surgical procedure to enlarge the penis and usually consists of penis lengthening surgery and penis thickening surgery.
The aim is to increase the length and circumference and at the same time achieve a harmonious, natural appearance without impairing function.

The penis size
Most men who are considering penis enlargement surgery are not doing so out of curiosity – but because they are carrying around a topic that they rarely talk about.
When we give advice, we often hear things like: “I don’t really know if it’s too small – but I’ve been criticized several times.”
This feeling does not develop overnight. It develops over years – through comparisons, experiences or simply through a lasting discomfort with your own body.
This is precisely why it is important for us to look at this topic from more than just a technical perspective.
Why men think about penis enlargement
From the outside, the topic often seems superficial – in fact, it rarely is.
In practice, the decision to enlarge the penis is usually not based on a single thought, but on a combination of perception, experience and self-image.
Typical backgrounds described by patients are
- the feeling of being "inadequate" in comparison
- Insecurity in intimate situations
- the avoidance of closeness or sexuality
- the desire for a more harmonious body feeling
What is important to us:
These thoughts are not unusual – but they deserve an honest classification.
Not every uncertainty can be resolved surgically. And not every objectively normal situation is also subjectively perceived as such. This is precisely why every treatment begins with an open discussion.
Medical classification of penis size
Many patients come with the expectation of receiving a clear boundary between “normal” and “not normal”. In reality, this boundary is blurred, because the “counterpart”, i.e. the partner, is just as important.
The average penis size when erect is around 16 to 17 cm. At the same time, there is a wide natural variation that is medically inconspicuous.
What we often observe in practice:
Your own perception often deviates significantly from the objective classification.
There are reasons for this. These include:
- Comparisons with unrealistic representations
- Lack of objective reference values
- personal experiences
- an overall critical body image
Therefore, the medical classification is not a “judgment”, but a common orientation. It is intended to help you understand where you actually stand – and whether a change may make sense.
Anatomy of the penis - why enlargement is even possible
Surgical penis enlargement is not based on artificial changes, but on existing anatomy.
Part of the penis is naturally located inside the body. This part is not visible from the outside, but contributes to the overall length. This inner part can be partially shifted to the outside through targeted modification of the retaining ligament structures.
This means:
We do not lengthen “from the outside”, but make existing length visible.
The situation is different for the circumference. The skin, subcutaneous tissue and connective tissue play a decisive role here. The diameter of the penis can be influenced by inserting the body’s own tissue (autologous fat).
In many cases, we combine both approaches. Not to change as much as possible, but to achieve a result that is coherent in itself.
Which doctors perform penis enlargement
Penis enlargement surgery is one of the more demanding procedures in male intimate surgery. It requires not only surgical skill, but also experience in dealing with sensitive issues.
A suitable practitioner should therefore have demonstrable experience:
- plastic surgery
- urological surgery
- and reconstructive intimate surgery
Methods of surgical penis enlargement
Surgical penis enlargement
Surgical penis lengthening is based on the targeted adjustment of retaining ligament structures in the pelvic area using an internal flap plasty, i.e. a special procedure with the body's own material in situ. This allows part of the penis lying inside the body to be moved to the outside.
The result can be seen in both the flaccid and erect state.
An important point:
The achievable lengthening cannot be planned at will. It depends, among other things, on the anatomy, tissue elasticity and the initial situation.
Surgical penis thickening
We only use the body's own fat for penis thickening. This fat is removed from another part of the body (usually the inner thigh or lower abdomen), processed and then inserted under the skin of the penis.
The aim is a natural enlargement of the circumference - both visually and by touch.
At the same time, it is important to know:
A small amount of the inserted tissue is usually broken down by the body, which is why more is inserted from the outset than would be necessary for the planned result. The permanent result therefore develops over time and is not final immediately after the operation.
Combination of both methods
In practice, a combination of lengthening and thickening is often chosen. The reason is not only the greater change, but above all the better proportion.
An isolated lengthening can appear visually slimmer, a pure thickening without length adjustment may appear unbalanced. The combination makes it possible to control the overall appearance in a more targeted manner.
Other methods
In addition to the methods we use, there are others that are not used at UGRS. We have compiled an overview of these methods and why we do not use them here.
Results of surgical penis enlargement
The question of the result is understandably central. At the same time, it is also the most difficult because it cannot be answered in general terms.
These values provide orientation.
In clinical practice, changes of about
- approx. 3 to 6 cm extension
- approx. 3 to 6 cm extension
can be achieved.
However, these values are not a guarantee – this does not exist in medicine. However, the surgeon’s experience and personal skills significantly increase the certainty of results. The actual achievable change always depends on several factors. These include in particular
- the individual anatomy
- the initial situation
- the elasticity of the tissue
- the chosen technology
- consistent follow-up treatment where necessary
What we see again and again in practice:
Satisfaction does not depend on size alone.
After the procedure, many patients report a changed body image, more confidence and a different approach to intimacy. Others note that although the change is visible, not all inner doubts disappear automatically and that this takes time.
That’s why honest advice always includes this point:
Surgery can change the external appearance – but not every internal insecurity.

Limits of penis enlargement
As important as the possibilities are, it is also important to clearly define the limits.
No operation can change the size of the penis indefinitely. Skin, tissue and the internal anatomy set natural limits that cannot be exceeded.
Our aim is therefore not to maximize the theoretical change, but to achieve a balanced result that
- is functionally stable
- works naturally
- and fits the physical proportions
When we advise against penis enlargement
Not every situation should be operated on. In some cases, we deliberately advise against surgery – for example, if:
- the expectations are not realistic
- the initial situation does not appear medically appropriate for an intervention
- other factors are in the foreground
- health conditions are not met

Risks and possible complications
Like any surgical procedure, penis enlargement is also associated with risks. These initially include typical, temporary reactions such as swelling, tightness or minor bruising.
Rare complications can also occur, such as infections, wound healing disorders or uneven results.
It is not just the operation itself that is decisive, but the entire treatment concept. Experience, careful planning, precise execution and structured aftercare make a significant contribution to reducing risks.
Treatment procedure
The path to penis enlargement always begins with a personal consultation: whether discreetly on the phone, by e-mail or in person at our clinic.
The operation itself usually takes around 70 minutes and is usually performed on an outpatient basis. The healing phase then begins, during which certain rules of conduct should be observed.
An important part of this is follow-up care where necessary. It can be decisive for the long-term development of the result.
Healing process after penis enlargement
The healing process takes place in several phases and varies from patient to patient. Swelling, tightness and minor bruising may occur in the first few days after the operation. In most cases, these reactions are normal and part of the healing process.
The following picture often emerges in the further course:
- First 2 days: rest, swelling and feeling of tension are the main focus
- First few weeks: wound healing progresses, everyday activities become possible again
- after about 3 to 4 weeks: often start using a stretching device where necessary
- after about 5 weeks: sexual intercourse possible again
- After several months: final stabilization of the result
Patience is particularly important in this phase. The final result does not appear immediately, but develops over a longer period of time.
Costs of penis enlargement surgery
In practice, we basically differentiate between three forms of treatment: pure penis enlargement, pure penis thickening and the combination of both procedures. These differ not only technically, but also in terms of the surgical effort involved – and therefore also in price.
For orientation purposes, the costs are generally in the following ranges:
-
Combined penis lengthening and thickening (recommended):
about €12,300 for surgery by Prof. Alessandro Littara
about €11,500 for surgery by Dr. med. univ. Robert Melone or Dr. med. univ. Simone Belli -
Penis enlargement only:
around €9,500 -
Penis thickening alone:
about € 7,500 -
If enlargement is desired only in the flaccid state:
approx. 8,600 €
Corrective surgery
If we are to take over the correction of operations that have gone wrong elsewhere:
- from approx. 13,500 €
- from approx. 14,500 € - if products not approved for use on the penis (silicone plates, silicone balls, etc.) were used (e.g. everything that the European Society of Urology EUA warns against in its guidelines in Chapter 9). This is because proper, damage-free removal is very time-consuming if the shape and function of the penis is to be preserved afterwards.
This information helps with the initial classification. However, individual planning is always crucial. Not every method makes sense in every situation – and not every combination automatically leads to a better result.
It is important to us that patients receive a clear and comprehensible cost structure from the outset. Serious planning takes into account not only the operation itself, but also the entire treatment process.
This usually includes:
- detailed medical advice
- the surgical procedure
- Anesthesia
- the use of the operating rooms
- as well as medical aftercare where necessary and specific behavioral recommendations
Especially with a sensitive procedure such as penis enlargement, the treatment does not end with the operation.
