Hello, doctor?
Hello, doctor.
If the penis is too short, are there any surgical options to increase its size? Also, could you recommend a good hospital in Taoyuan for this procedure?

Dr. Xu Weikai reply Urology
It's really concerning: Is your penis too short? It depends on the situation.
Sometimes, it appears smaller due to fat accumulation; in this case, removing the fat at the base of the penis can help.
If the penis is genuinely small, it’s important to check if it’s due to insufficient testosterone levels.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again for further discussion and research.
Online answers should only serve as a reference; if necessary, you should seek medical attention at a healthcare facility.

More Info
When considering surgical options for penile enlargement, it is essential to understand the various procedures available, their effectiveness, risks, and the importance of choosing a qualified medical facility.
Surgical Options for Penile Enlargement
1. Penile Lengthening Surgery: This procedure typically involves cutting the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone. By releasing this ligament, the penis can hang lower, which may create the appearance of increased length. However, this procedure does not increase the actual size of the penis and may lead to complications such as instability or changes in erectile function.
2. Penile Girth Enhancement: This can be achieved through various methods, including:
- Fat Grafting: Fat is harvested from another part of the body and injected into the penis. While this can increase girth, the results can be inconsistent, and some of the fat may be reabsorbed over time.
- Dermal Fillers: Similar to fat grafting, dermal fillers can be injected to enhance girth. However, these fillers are temporary and may require repeated treatments.
- Silicone Implants: Some surgeons offer silicone implants for girth enhancement. This method can provide more permanent results but carries risks of complications, including infection or implant rejection.
3. Penile Prosthesis: In cases where there is erectile dysfunction alongside the desire for enlargement, a penile prosthesis may be considered. This device can help achieve an erection and may also provide some increase in size.
Risks and Considerations
Every surgical procedure carries inherent risks. For penile enlargement surgeries, potential complications include:
- Infection
- Scarring
- Changes in sensation
- Erectile dysfunction
- Dissatisfaction with aesthetic results
It is crucial to have realistic expectations and understand that while some procedures may enhance size, they may not provide the dramatic results that some patients hope for.
Choosing a Medical Facility
In Taoyuan, several hospitals and clinics offer penile enlargement procedures. When selecting a facility, consider the following:
- Surgeon’s Qualifications: Ensure that the surgeon is board-certified and has experience specifically in penile surgery.
- Hospital Accreditation: Choose a hospital that is accredited and has a good reputation for surgical procedures.
- Patient Reviews: Look for reviews or testimonials from previous patients to gauge their satisfaction with the results and the care they received.
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals, the procedure, and any concerns you may have. This is also an opportunity to assess the surgeon's communication style and approach to patient care.
Conclusion
If you are considering penile enlargement surgery, it is vital to conduct thorough research and consult with qualified medical professionals. Understand the types of procedures available, their risks, and the importance of choosing a reputable facility. Always prioritize your health and well-being over aesthetic desires, and ensure that any decision made is informed and consensual.
