What is penile augmentation surgery?
Firstly, it is worth mentioning that there are two types of surgery for penile augmentation.
One of them focuses on increasing the length and the other the width. Both types have a few forms of procedure envisioning penile augmentation.
In order to help you understand the subject so often discussed, we provide video content on our channel:
Penis width augmentation surgery
Penile augmentation surgery for width can be made three ways: with fat injection, hyaluronic acid injection or net placement.
In case of fat injection, the procedure is made by liposuction in another part of the body, such as the flanks, belly or legs, followed by part of this fat being injected in the penis to fill it and provide more volume.
On the other hand, in case of hyaluronic acid injection (PMMA), the procedure is known as penile bioplastic and it consists in the application of PMMA to the erectile penis to increase its diameter.
However, PMMA injection is not recommended by the Brazilian Plastic Surgery Society due to the risks that come with it.
Finally, the last format for penile augmentation in width is net placement, in which an artificial biodegradable net is placed under the skin and around the body of the penis in order to give it more volume.
Depending on the type of penile augmentation surgery and on the specific case, there might be an augmentation of 1cm up to 4 cm in penile diameter.
Penile length increase surgeries
Now, to talk about penile augmentation when the goal is to increase its length, what is usually recommended is a surgery that cuts the connection between the penis and the pubic bone, which makes the sexual organ bigger in form and appearance.
However, in this surgery it is possible to increase the flaccid penis size in about 3 to 6 cm, which is very noticeable when the penis is erect.
Moreover, when the person is overweight, the penis can be covered by fat and, for that reason, the specialist might recommend liposuction in the intimate area, removing fat excess and better exposing the body of the penis, for example.
Both procedures are recommended when the focus is penile augmentation in relation to its length.
Benefits and risks of penile augmentation surgery and its treatments
Penile augmentation surgery for width can be made three ways: with fat injection, hyaluronic acid injection or net placement.
In case of fat injection, the procedure is made by liposuction in another part of the body, such as the flanks, belly or legs, followed by part of this fat being injected in the penis to fill it and provide more volume.
In the case of surgery, which involves cutting the ligament between penis and public bone, due to the ligament cut, some men say during erection they end up having higher penis elevation, since it is more exposed, which may improve quality of sexual intercourse.
The benefits may include having a positive impact in men’s psychological and physical health.
Penile augmentation surgery may bring benefits such as self-esteem and welfare improvement, more confidence, increased self satisfaction and partner satisfaction and direct impact in men’s psychological matters.
That is because society has always reinforced standards related to the male member and that provokes insecurity in men who see themselves distant from such stereotypes, which might trigger a lot of psychological harm.
In other words, penile augmentation surgery ends up elevating the well-being and quality of life men seek to feel good about themselves concerning penis size, and this can reflect in psychological issues as well as in physical ones.
Is this penile augmentation surgery for you? Who should you seek for the procedure?
Well, as you have seen, there are benefits and risks to the penile augmentation surgery, so, before submitting yourself to it, regardless of which procedure, you first must know if, in fact, this surgery is for you and if there is a real need to perform the procedure.
The penile augmentation surgery is usually recommended for those with a micropenis, when for instance testosterone injection or growth hormone supplementation is not enough.
Despite the micropenis not representing a health issue, as previously explained, the size of the sexual organ might cause frustration and interfere directly in the person’s quality of life and, therefore, in that case the doctor may recommend penile augmentation surgery, which may bring a series of benefits to the patient’s psychological and physical health, as said before.
Besides that, some men might see themselves as having a smaller penis than they would like to and, for that reason, would like to opt for the penile augmentation surgery, taking into consideration both the risks and the benefits mentioned; but this decision must be done by talking it over with a specialized doctor.
Pills and ointments: it is time to demystify the taboo! Do they actually work?
If your doubt is regarding pills and ointments effectiveness in penile augmentation, the answer is NO!
That is nothing but a myth and a product of good sellers’ speech, after all many brands promote such information precisely for knowing the theme of penile augmentation is in men’s scope of interests, although its effectiveness is not real.
The truth is some pills and vacuum pumps, or even gels, help increase the amount of blood in the sexual organ and, due to that, might provoke the sensation of a bigger penis, though this “bloating” does not last more than a few minutes.
It is important to be careful, because these meds and items may be a health hazard. That said, if your goal is penile augmentation, the first step is to look for a specialized doctor.
Specialist Dr. Carlos Araújo Pinto may use pumps, penile extenders and oral medication post-operation.
Before and after penile augmentation surgery
Before and after penile augmentation surgery pictures are not usually exposed online since those are particularly intimate images.
That said, if you are interested in knowing what the before and after of the treatment looks like, it would be ideal to ask your doctor to show it during consultation. He might have real examples that he is allowed to show you.
And, surely, do not fall for a con game! People share photos online that were likely edited and photoshopped in order to cause impact in the viewer.
In other words, nothing better than a specialist to treat the penile augmentation theme seriously and based on reality.
What is the recovery like for penile augmentation surgery?
The recovery for the surgery is relatively fast and men can return to their work activities in about one week after the procedure, according to how he recovers and medical approval..
Sexual relations, however, can only resume after six weeks or when recommended by the doctor according to the patient’s recovery. The same goes for intense physical exercise, such as jogging or going to the gym, which can be resumed after three to six months, also under medical approval, since each case has its own particularities.
In other words, the recovery for penile augmentation surgery is quite quick, though it is necessary to be cautious and follow medical recommendation to avoid problems. Medical follow-up is essential.
Who is the doctor responsible for penile augmentation surgery and treatment?
It is important to be cautious with what you see online, after all many people Google ways to increase penis size and end up being fed false information and inserting themselves in situations that may create health issues.
With that in mind, if you are interested in penile augmentation surgery or wish to know more about it, it is necessary and essential to see a specialized doctor. This professional will analyze your clinical case and propose the best solutions, as well as follow-up to results.

Specialist Dr. Carlos Araújo Pinto, for example, would not recommend treatment unless the penis has less than 4 cm of length when flaccid or less than 7,5 cm of length when erect. That is because according to a report published by Nature Scientific Reports in 2019, the motivation to seek treatment often focuses on self-image, fear of inadequacy and desire to impress others, as well as other psychosocial factors.
However, as said before, this procedure has both risks and benefits which should be taken into consideration when it comes to deciding to submit yourself to surgery alongside the specialist responsible for your case.
