How Is Glans Enlargement Surgery Performed? Costs, Incisions, and Recovery Period—All in One Guide

Let’s review the anatomy of the penis once again.
The penis can be divided into the glans, the shaft, and the base.
Glans: Sensitive and usually covered by the foreskin. For those who have had circumcision, it remains exposed.
Shaft: Visible externally and determines the “visual length.”
Base: Hidden beneath the skin and often overlooked. The thicker the fat around the pubic bone, the more of the base is concealed, making the penis look shorter.

A recent popular news story claimed that weight-loss injections can increase penis length. The principle is that after losing weight, more of the “base” becomes visible.

Although the length and girth of the penis itself are important, the glans is the “showpiece” of the entire penis.
●The sensation at the moment of penetration during sex? Determined by the firmness of the glans.
●The negative-pressure effect produced by thrusting? Determined by the size of the glans.
●Stamina during sex and avoiding premature ejaculation? Determined by the sensitivity of the glans.

The most common glans enlargement methods currently include the following:
1. Hyaluronic acid injections
✅Advantages: High safety, can be administered multiple times, and affordable; about NT$10,000–30,000 per cc
⚠️Disadvantages: The results are absorbed in about 6–12 months, so regular touch-ups are needed

2. Semi-permanent filler (allogeneic dermal matrix powder)
Results last longer than hyaluronic acid, with effects lasting 2–3 years or more.
✅ Advantages: Semi-permanent, low absorption rate (20–30%), and can be administered multiple times
⚠️ Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive, about NT$40,000–50,000 per cc

3. Autologous fat transfer (less commonly used for the glans)
Fewer people choose this option, mainly because glans tissue is delicate, fat graft survival is unpredictable, and lumps or uneven absorption can occur easily.

A large needle is inserted at the coronal sulcus of the glans, and filler is injected into the glans.
The incision is only the size of a needle puncture. Stitches are removed after 1–2 weeks, and sexual activity can resume after 4–6 weeks.
We recommend wiping down with a sponge bath on the day of surgery. You can shower normally afterward.

All medical procedures carry risks. When you choose a professional team, the risks are very low.
Possible risks: bleeding, infection, and an unnatural shape
The medical team must follow stringent sterile protocols to reduce the risk of bleeding and infection.
An unnatural appearance can result from uneven filler distribution. Achieving a natural, attractive shape depends on the doctor’s experience and skill.

Nerves are primarily distributed in the dermis and epidermis of the glans, making it one of the organs with the densest nerve distribution.
Injecting hyaluronic acid into the “superficial layer” can reduce nerve sensitivity, thereby delaying ejaculation.
