2 – What does penis enlargement surgery involve? What are the benefits of the operation?

Penis enlargement surgery uses the fat transfer technique. This involves injecting fat from another part of the patient’s body into the penis to enlarge it. This procedure can be performed in conjunction with liposuction if the patient so desires. It is a true and tested technique.

Penis enlargement surgery also allows lengthening of the penis.

3 – Is penis lengthening possible during the penis enlargement surgery? By how much can the penis be surgically lengthened?

4 – Does penis enlargement improve sexual performance? Does it have an effect on sexual satisfaction?

The quality and how long an erection is maintained depend on a number of factors both physical and psychological. The quality of the sexual act cannot be equated to the girth of the penis but it is a fact that concern about one’s penis may lead to a psychological block that may inhibit erection. Penis enlargement surgery will improve self-confidence but will not improve erection. One of the things to check on before and after the operation is sexual satisfaction.

10 – How much does penis enlargement surgery cost?

The rates for penis enlargement surgery varies depending on the how much needs to be done, mode of anaesthesia and its charges, the clinical charges, the length of the stay in the clinic, the qualifications of the surgeon, the charges of the surgeon and the anaesthetist among others. Very high quotes on the one hand do not necessarily guarantee the best results and suspiciously low quotes on the other hand should incite caution. It is of utmost importance to always verify the qualifications and competences of the plastic surgeon, his titles, his cv, his certification by the board, his ability to practice, what post operation care is included in his quote (who by, where, for how long…). Plastic surgery is strictly regulated in France. It is therefore very easy to get information about a surgeon before undertaking this important surgery.

Penis enlargement surgery is cosmetic surgery and is therefore not covered by the social security. As an indication the rates for cosmetic penis enlargement surgery start at 4300 euros. The contractual detailed quote that you will get from the surgeon concerning your surgery will give you the exact fee for your penis enlargement surgery.
