Penoplasty or phalloplasty, is a surgical technique consisting in the enlargement and lengthening of the penis. It improves the aesthetic appearance of the penis without placing a prosthesis or visible scars. The size of the penis can have an impact on the sexual performance of men, which leads to complexes in their sexual life as well as their social life (prospering in a group such as in the locker rooms of a gym, the wearing a bathing suit, etc.).
When the size of the penis is not satisfactory, a phalloplasty is possible. The perception of dimensions is often not the same from one man to another. When the penis is in a state of flaccidity (at rest), it measures on average ten centimeters long and nine centimeters in circumference. When erect, the penis reaches on average fifteen centimeters in length and twelve centimeters in circumference.
Desires to increase the size of his penis, must remain realistic. Doctor Delobaux takes into account the real motivations and expectations of the patient in order to avoid disappointment of the latter when the final result is obtained. It is very important to have a serious, realistic reason which determines the will of the candidate.
Functional disorders relating to erection must be seriously treated alongside any intervention and therefore only represent temporary contraindications.
However, serious cases of dysmorphophobia are real contraindications because it is a question of a psychiatric condition that does not require surgery at all. In the majority of cases, “the small penis syndrome or the locker room complex cannot be considered as psychological disorders except by practitioners who are unaware of the very essence of the suffering of these patients”.
The best proof remains the satisfaction and well-being of these men who have benefited from this surgery in Dr. Delobaux's office.
In summary, when a candidate for penoplasty suffers from erectile dysfunction, we do not immediately recommend enlargement penoplasty. His case must be the subject of serious studies beforehand before considering any action.
The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia without hospitalization for a period of thirty to forty-five minutes.
Lengthening penoplasty should be combined with thickening. It will allow to increase the diameter of the penis, at rest and in erection.
The weight of the fat injected at the level of the penis contributes to increasing the thickness of the cutaneous tissue. Patients prefer thickening alone more, since the intervention is less cumbersome. However, both procedures can be performed at the same time.
The medical team places a drain in the operating area, which is removed the same evening or the day after the operation. Hospitalization usually lasts only one day (outpatient): It is possible to go out the same evening. Hospitalization sometimes lasts one night at the clinic, if you live alone at home for monitoring after general anesthesia. The sutures are absorbable.
The postoperative consequences are very light:
One year after the phalloplasty intervention, the penis gains approximately 2 to 4 cm in length and 2 to 3 cm in circumference. The natural appearance of the penis is maintained, as well as its sensitivity. The patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during intercourse or coitus.
Thickening of the penis: Result observed at rest and in erection
If the length of the penis remains unchanged over time, additional sessions of fat injections are often necessary in order to obtain the desired thickening volume. Indeed, after a session, the penis gains 2 to 3 cm in circumference. This increase in size can evolve and reach 3 to 5 cm after 3 sessions. The patient is often informed of this development to enable him to anticipate the final result and avoid disappointment from the first injection. The thickening is gradual, and it is visible both at rest and in erection.
Lengthening of the penis: Result is observed only at rest
The surgical operation does not modify the length of the cavernous bodies which intervene in the erection.
The price depends on the type of intervention, the anesthesia and also according to the stay.
In case of thickening alone, the price starts at 3000 euros.
Conversely, when the procedure combines lengthening and thickening, the price is set at 5500 euros.
Yes, there is support from social security but in the rare cases of micropenis: penile lengthening by "unburial of the penis by fixation of the fascias". Conversely, penile lengthening for aesthetic reasons is not covered.
Penoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia. But to avoid the patient the postoperative pain, a local anesthesia at the root of the penis (penile block) is systematically carried out in order to reduce it significantly.
A clinical examination is essential. It allows to evaluate the possibilities of elongation of the penis, and the zones where the fat can be removed in case of thickening. Two cosmetic surgery consultations spaced at least 15 days apart are then necessary or even mandatory, during which medical photographs are always taken. Doctor Delobaux will give you very important systematic medical instructions.
The scar usually appears in a V or semi-circle completely camouflaged by pubic hair. This type of scar is preferable to Z or VY plasties, which give a very unsightly appearance to the pubic area.
