There are a plethora of penis enlargement products on the market, but many of the ones you see advertised are ineffective and can even harm your penis. Men looking for a way to increase the size of their penis should instead look to male enhancement surgery from a respected plastic surgeon like Dr. Parit Patel.
What is Male Enhancement Surgery?
Male enhancement surgery or penile enlargement surgery is the name given to a set of surgical procedures designed to increase the length and girth of the male penis. This is performed by releasing a suspensory ligament anchoring the penis to the pubic bone and removal of fat of the groin area to increase length and fat grafting to the penis to increase girth.
Interest in this procedure has increased over the years due to the high patient satisfaction, the immediate and permanent results, and safety associated with the procedure. Male enhancement surgery is a good option for anyone who is self-conscious about the size or shape of their penis or who would just like improvements to what they already have.
Are You A Candidate for Male Enhancement Surgery?
If you are someone who is in good health and has struggled with the size or shape of your penis after puberty, then you may be a good candidate for surgical intervention. Male genital anatomy comes in all shapes and sizes but some men would like improvements in the overall size or shape of their penis.
It is important that the anatomy and function of your penis are normal before undergoing male enhancement surgery. Male enhancement surgery does not improve the function of the penis in terms of obtaining an erection or ejaculation.
Candidates should be in generally good physical health, non-smokers, and without any medical conditions that may affect the healing process. Dr. Patel will talk to you about your medical history during consultation and it is important that you are open and honest to ensure the best possible results.
How Much Does Male Enhancement Surgery Cost?
The procedures involved in penile enlargement surgery are highly individualized according to each patient’s aesthetic goals and may include the surgical release of the suspensory ligament, liposuction or fat removal of the pubic area, and or fat grafting to the penis.
After analyzing your body and discussing the details of the procedure, Dr. Patel will develop a customized surgical plan to fit your specific needs. During this time, he will also talk to you about the cost of the procedure.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CONSULTATION
At the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, we understand that each patient’s aesthetic goals are unique. Improvement in the size or shape of your penis can lead to a healthy increase in self-esteem and confidence. We are committed to helping our patients achieve their aesthetic goals in a comfortable and private environment.
When you schedule a consultation with our practice, you will speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body. You and your plastic surgeon will review your medical history and a physical examination will be performed to ensure that you are a good candidate for male enhancement surgery. Your surgeon will suggest treatment options that are right for your body type and aesthetic goals. We will never perform any procedure unless we are certain that it is the best course of treatment for you.
HOW IS MALE ENHANCEMENT SURGERY PERFORMED?
For maximum privacy and comfort, all male enhancement surgeries are performed in our office surgical suite. A local anesthetic is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure. The process itself varies according to the individual needs of the patient. For penile lengthening, an incision is made at the base of the penis. This allows the surgeon to access the suspensory ligament for release from the pubic bone. If needed, excess fat is removed from the pubic region at the base of the penis to improve the overall length. To increase the girth of the penis, fat is removed from the abdomen or thighs and placed within the skin of the penis circumferentially, to increase the girth. The amount of fat injected is determined based on the aesthetic goals of the patient and the patient’s anatomy. Approximately 50% of the fat injected will resorb over time, therefore your surgeon will likely over inject the area in anticipation of some of the fat not remaining long term. Incision sites are hidden and not noticeable after surgery, your plastic surgeon will place the incisions as strategically as possible and attempt to conceal them within natural folds and contours of the body.
Male enhancement surgery can be performed in one stage. Some patients want additional fat injected to increase the girth of the penis further, which can be performed after 3-6 months. Your plastic surgeon will outline each stage and discuss the particular process for each individual procedure during your consultation.
RECOVERY AFTER MALE ENHANCEMENT SURGERY
The recovery period is different for each patient but in general, there is some discomfort for the first day after the procedure. Most patients only require over the counter pain medication to help ease the mild discomfort. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so patients will be able to return home the day of surgery. Your plastic surgeon will give specific instructions for post-surgical care and specifically wound care. It is very important to follow all of these instructions to mitigate any potential risks that are associated with male enhancement surgery.
If further fat grafting is desired, this can be performed after the previous stage has fully healed. Results of each procedure are usually apparent right after surgery, but the full aesthetic results may not be visible until swelling and bruising subsides, which may take six to eight weeks.
POTENTIAL RISKS OF MALE ENHANCEMENT SURGERY
Any surgical procedure involves some potential risks; in general, the risks of the procedures involved in male enhancement surgery may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Hematoma (blood clot)
- Changes in skin sensation
- Skin discoloration
- Scarring
At the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, we take every precaution to avoid potential complications by employing the safest and most innovative techniques. You can further reduce the potential for risk by carefully following all instructions from your plastic surgeon, both before and after a procedure.
HOW MUCH DOES MALE ENHANCEMENT SURGERY COST?
The cost of male enhancement surgery depends on the specific procedures performed. The cost may further be affected by your location, your plastic surgeon, and the surgical center at which the procedure is performed. The cost range can be between $5,000 and $10,000 depending on the procedures performed. Be sure to speak to your plastic surgeon during your consultation about the cost of male enhancement surgery, including any payment options that may be available. Medical insurance rarely covers the cost for male enhancement surgery, since it is considered a cosmetic procedure.
SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION
If you are bothered by the size or shape of your penis, male enhancement surgery may be right for you. If you would like to know more about the procedure, or if you have questions about male enhancement surgery, schedule a consultation with the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago.

This is a 3 month follow-up for an otoplasty or ear pinning procedure. The patient was bothered by how far his ears projected forward and how his ears were a major focus of his appearance. In the post-operative photos, the ears have been re-positioned in a more aesthetic and natural way. The patient’s facial features now become the focal point of his appearance and not the ears. A relatively simple yet powerful procedure. Posted with permission.

This is a 2 year follow-up revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had had 2 prior rhinoplasties in the past and was bothered by the nasal deviation, the dorsal hump, and the under-rotated and under-projected tip. In the post-operative views, you can see the nose is straighter, symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines have been established, the dorsal hump was removed, and the tip was elevated and rotated. It’s amazing how a more symmetric and proportional nose improves the balance and overall aesthetics of the face. Posted with permission.

This is a great example of how buccal fat removal changes the face. Buccal fat removal involves removing fat from the lower cheeks and the purpose is to narrow the lower 1/3 of the face. With removal of the buccal fat pad, the face appears less round and more angular or V-shaped. Buccal fat removal was popularized and trending during the pandemic, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates are younger patients in their 20-30’s with a rounder face, and excess volume of the lower cheeks. As we age, the face loses volume and therefore patients in their 40’s plus may not be good candidates. An article in our journal from 2021, The Role of Buccal Fat Pad in Facial Aesthetic Surgery, by Drs. Rohrich and Stuzin, highlighted that this procedure can be beneficial in certain patients but if over resected or performed in the wrong patient, can lead to premature aging and midface distortion.

How important is the chin in a rhinoplasty case? This patient’s results show how important the nose-chin relationship is for a balanced and proportional profile. This patient had a crooked nose, a prominent dorsal hump, and a very deficient chin. After straightening her nose, removing the dorsal hump, lifting and refining the tip, and performing a sliding genioplasty; look how much her profile has changed aesthetically for the better.

In facial feminization surgery, a common question we get is how do we contour the forehead and orbital rim. There are two main techniques that craniofacial surgeons utilize. A type 1 technique is where we use a burr or shaving device to shave and contour the bone to set it back or make it less prominent. To be a good candidate for this technique, one would have to have thick bone, a smaller frontal sinus, and less frontal bossing. A type 3 technique is where we use a saw to cut off the outer part of the frontal sinus bone, shave down the forehead and then replace the bone with titanium plates and screws. Good candidates for this procedure are patients with thin bone of the frontal sinus, a large frontal sinus and significant frontal bossing. We determine which technique would best achieve a patient’s goals through a clinical exam and a CT scan. Posted with permission. Videos are educational.
