Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Chu Hsin-Cheng, a specialist in male penis enlargement and thickening.
Since birth, a boy’s first toy is his own genitals.
After puberty, the penis gradually grows. Boys become curious about sex and wonder how big their penis can get.
As adults, we experience the pleasures of sex and wish we could be thicker and bigger, so our partner would enjoy it more.
But some guys are criticized by their partners for not being big enough. They feel hurt and sad, and even lose their confidence.
So, how exactly can you enlarge your penis?
Understanding Penis Anatomy
First, let’s understand the anatomy of the penis.
The penis can be divided into the glans, the shaft, and the base.
Glans: Sensitive and usually covered by the foreskin. In men who are circumcised, it is exposed.
Shaft: Visible externally and determines the “visual length.”
Base: Buried under the skin and not easily noticed. The thicker the fat around the pubic bone, the more of the base is buried, making the penis look shorter.
Clinically, penis length is measured by pressing a ruler against the pubic bone up to the base of the penis.
Flaccid length: It depends on the amount of fat around the pubic bone, temperature, and psychological state. Every man knows what it’s like for his penis to shrink in cold weather.
Erect length: Determined by the length of the erectile tissue.
Glans Enlargement
Glans enlargement involves injecting hyaluronic acid, allogeneic dermal matrix powder, or autologous fat into the glans to make it bigger and thicker.
Different injection materials have different absorption rates.
Hyaluronic acid has a high absorption rate, but is less expensive. It is gradually absorbed after surgery, so regular touch-ups are needed.
Allogeneic dermal matrix powder has a low absorption rate and a higher price. A small amount is absorbed after surgery, making it semi-permanent and eliminating the need for regular touch-ups.
One advantage of this procedure is that it’s quick, taking about 15–20 minutes. The glans looks bigger immediately, and the wound is only the size of a needle hole.
It’s worth noting that for men who climax quickly because of glans sensitivity, this procedure can also reduce sensitivity and increase staying power.
Depending on the amount injected, the circumference of the glans can increase by 1.5–2 cm, making a noticeable visual difference.
Advantages of Allogeneic Dermal Matrix Powder for Glans Enlargement:
-
Small incision
-
Semi-permanent
-
Quick procedure
-
Significant enlargement
Penis Enlargement and Thickening—Materials Used
Common materials used in Taiwan include autologous fat, hyaluronic acid, and allogeneic dermal sheets.
The current standard is the “allogeneic dermal sheet,” also known as a “biological patch.”
Autologous fat is harvested by liposuction and injected under the foreskin to increase girth, reusing the fat that was removed.
However, autologous fat has a high absorption rate of 60–70%. After a while, it shrinks, so another injection is needed.
Fat that isn’t absorbed often leaves the penis looking lumpy and uneven.
As an aside, an older gentleman recently came in for a consultation. As soon as he took off his pants, I saw that his foreskin was uneven and lumpy.
When I asked him about it, it turned out he’d had liposuction and autologous fat injections many years ago. It looked very large right after the procedure.
As the fat was gradually absorbed, it ended up looking like this. The clumps of fat also felt strange to the touch.
He felt the shape looked unnatural and unattractive, so he came in for allogeneic dermal enlargement surgery.
Hyaluronic acid also has a high absorption rate. It was commonly used for penis thickening in the past.
It’s relatively inexpensive, but the downside is that regular touch-ups and multiple procedures are needed.
The “allogeneic dermal sheet” is now the standard option. It is a semi-permanent implant with a low absorption rate.
The procedure involves suturing the entire sheet onto the erectile tissue to thicken the whole shaft.
Erect circumference ++, flaccid circumference +++, flaccid length +++
Penis circumference can increase by 1–3 cm, making it visibly larger!
The “allogeneic dermal sheet” acts as a cellular scaffold and gradually integrates with the surrounding tissue 3–6 months after surgery.
Both the feel and shape are more natural, and only one procedure is needed!
Penis Enlargement and Thickening—Appearance
After hyaluronic acid and autologous fat are absorbed, residual material may remain, causing an uneven foreskin surface.
An “allogeneic dermal sheet” is implanted by suturing the entire sheet onto the erectile tissue. It creates a smooth shape and looks much more natural.
Penis Enlargement and Thickening—Incisions
If you haven’t been circumcised, circumcision will be performed at the same time as the procedure, leaving a circular incision around the foreskin.
If you’ve already been circumcised, you can choose either the previous circumcision incision or an incision below the pubic bone.
Choosing an incision below the pubic bone also allows a suspensory ligament release to be performed, further increasing flaccid length.
Penis Enlargement and Thickening—Cost
The cost of penis enlargement and thickening depends on several factors.
Costs vary considerably depending on each surgeon’s technique and the materials used.
Glans Enlargement
Using allogeneic dermal matrix powder, the cost is approximately NT$30,000–120,000, depending on the injection amount and technique.
Penis Enlargement
Using an allogeneic dermal sheet, the cost is approximately NT$220,000–300,000, depending on the size and thickness.
Using hyaluronic acid, the cost is approximately NT$100,000–200,000, depending on the injection amount and brand.
Penis Enlargement and Thickening—Recovery Period
Glans enlargement leaves a wound only the size of a needle hole. Recovery takes 1–2 weeks, during which sexual activity is prohibited.
Penis enlargement takes 4–6 weeks for the wound to heal completely. Sexual activity is prohibited during this period.
Advantages of Allogeneic Dermal Sheets for Penis Enlargement:
1. Natural, attractive shape
2. Semi-permanent; no need for multiple procedures
3. Quick procedure
4. Significant enlargement
