Which methods are used, and what can they realistically do?
| Method | Aim | Key limits |
|---|---|---|
| Suspensory ligament release | Visible flaccid length (roughly 1–2 in) | Does not increase erect function; may affect erection stability or angle |
| Grafts or implants for length | Length | Higher risk; limited evidence |
| Autologous fat transfer | Girth | Fat may be reabsorbed unevenly; lumps possible |
| Dermal fillers | Girth | Temporary (about 6–18 months); see the penis filler guide |
| Dermal substitutes or silicone implants | Girth | Higher risk of infection, displacement and revision surgery |
Professional bodies generally regard cosmetic penile enlargement as having limited evidence of benefit, and most men who seek it have a normal penis size.
