What is Penis Enlargement?
Penile enhancement refers to procedures that aim to increase the circumference/girth of the penis.
Introduction
Our penis enlargement procedure is designed for our male clients who wish to increase their penile girth, improve appearance, and boost confidence.
At Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island, Dr. Sotirios Papafragkou and Dr. Susie Rhee offer safe, minimally invasive options for those seeking enhanced penile dimensions. While there is no procedure that significantly increases length in a lasting way, penile girth enhancement can provide measurable and natural-looking improvement.
Our team at Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island (PSAOLI) proudly serves patients throughout Long Island, including Roslyn, Roslyn Heights, Garden City, and Manhasset, NY.
Penile enhancement refers to procedures that aim to increase the circumference/girth of the penis.
The FDA has approved no injectable filler for use in the Penis. Methods used in the past:
Liquid-injected silicone (LIS) was used to enhance girth, with varying degrees of success. Serious complications include silicone migration, swelling, penile distortions, and late granulomatous formations. This method is no longer recommended.
Autologous fat injections have been used in the past. However, there is a problem with fat reabsorption, with possibly fewer than 10% of fat cells surviving. Also, other risks include curvature, asymmetry of the penis, and formation of calcified fat nodules, which appear to be permanent.
Injectable hyaluronic acid appears to be the most effective way to enhance penile girth without significant complications. In a study1 there was a significant increase to 11.41cm with a basal mean girth of 7.48cm. At one month after the injection, this was maintained for 18 months.
A nonabsorbable soft-tissue filler, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), has been used. Complications include penile shape asymmetry and the formation of small nodules/microspheres that can migrate and are permanent.
Penis size is an important issue for many men, and it is considered to symbolize masculinity. When men perceive their penis size as smaller than usual, it can have a major impact on their self-esteem and sexual functioning. The dissatisfaction some men have can have a serious negative impact on psychological and social functioning, such as anxieties/inhibitions in sexual relationships, and lowered self-esteem. Dissatisfaction with a normal-sized penis is termed “Small penis Syndrome” (SPS) or “small penis anxiety” (SPA)1. These procedures are rarely reported in the literature.
According to the literature, girth appears to be more important for sexual satisfaction, particularly from the female perspective. A larger girth penis will stretch the vaginal opening such that deep structures are more stimulated. The female vagina is densely packed with receptors that are finely tuned to detect stretch sensations.
The first step at Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Sotirios Papafragkou or Dr. Susie Rhee. During this, he will review your medical history, assess your anatomy, and discuss what your goals are to determine the most suitable approach for penis enlargement.
This visit ensures a personalized plan is created, outlines what to expect before and after the procedure, and ensures all your questions are answered.
It is done under local anesthesia with a topical cream and injected numbing medication (lidocaine). 10 – 20ml of filler is injected. For optimal results, a follow-up session is recommended after 4 weeks, where an additional 5ml of filler may be injected to ensure even coverage.

Antibiotic ointment is applied, and a tubular bandage is placed over the penis, which should be worn for 24 hours. Chlorhexidine washes twice per day and massages to smooth any irregularities, as well as abstaining from sexual intercourse/masturbation for 3-4 days and minimal sexual activity for 2 weeks.
The cost of a penis enlargement at Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island varies due to the specific technique used, the amount of filler required, and whether a follow-up session is needed.
