Penis Enlargement Operations in Istanbul: Scientific Facts
By Dr. Zülfü Sertkaya's Team · 8 min read
Summary: In the field of aesthetic andrology, penis enlargement operations (thickening and lengthening) can be performed safely using hyaluronic acid fillers or surgical ligament incision methods. Expert urologists in Istanbul provide the most appropriate medical solution for the patient's anatomy using FDA-approved materials.
A Scientific View of Penis Enlargement Operations
In the medical world, the concept of "penis enlargement" encompasses procedures evaluated within aesthetic andrology aimed at medically and safely restoring or expanding anatomical dimensions. Scientific data clearly shows that pills, creams, or vacuum pumps sold on the internet do not permanently increase penis size. Real and safe results can only be achieved through medical and surgical operations.
1. Penis Thickening (Girth Enhancement)
The most preferred and provenly safe method in penis thickening operations today is the Hyaluronic Acid Filler (HA Filler) application.
- How It Works? Safe, biocompatible, and FDA-approved hyaluronic acid is injected subcutaneously. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body, so the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low.
- Results: The procedure is completed in a clinical setting under local anesthesia in about 30-40 minutes. A homogeneous and natural thickening (20-30% increase in girth) is achieved around the penis. The effect lasts between 12 and 24 months, depending on the cross-link quality of the filler used.
- Advantage: It does not require an incision, stitches, or hospital stay. The post-operative recovery process is very fast. It offers a more symmetrical and smoother appearance compared to fat injections.
2. Penis Lengthening (Suspensory Ligament Incision)
Penis lengthening surgery is the surgical release of the suspensory ligament (ligamentum suspensorium penis) that connects the penis to the pelvic bone.
- Mechanism: About a third of the penis, which is inside the body ("hidden"), is released outward by cutting the ligament.
- Realistic Expectations: This operation visibly increases the flaccid length of the penis (average 2-4 cm) but does not create a dramatic change in the total size when fully erect. The procedure does not negatively affect erectile capacity.
