Important: Yoonho does not perform these procedures

Yoonho Women's Hospital in Apgujeong, Seoul is a women's hospital and does not perform penis enlargement or other men's procedures. This guide provides neutral information for international readers. Please consult a urologist(비뇨의학과 전문의) for personal advice.

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.

What are the risks?

  • Infection, bleeding or hematoma, swelling (edema) and scarring
  • Pain, changes in sensation, curvature or deformity
  • Reabsorption or uneven results after fat transfer or fillers
  • Erectile dysfunction and the need for corrective surgery
  • In rare severe cases, tissue damage (necrosis)
Seek urgent care if you have fever, spreading redness, increasing pain, darkening of the skin, or difficulty passing urine after a procedure.
