Penoplasty is a collection of aesthetic procedures designed to improve the size and appearance of the penis. It is not just about aesthetics; for many men, it is about alleviating the psychological distress associated with “Locker Room Syndrome.”

Dr. Viel categorizes the treatment into two primary goals, which can be performed separately or combined:

1. Girth Enhancement (Widening)

This is typically achieved through Lipofilling (Fat Transfer).

• The Technique: Dr. Viel harvests fat cells from a donor area (such as the abdomen or thighs) using gentle liposuction. The fat is purified and carefully injected around the penile shaft.
• The Benefit: Increases circumference naturally using the body’s own tissue, with the added benefit of contouring the donor area.

2. Lengthening (Elongation)

This is achieved through a procedure called Ligamentolysis.

• The Technique: The suspensory ligament, which holds the penis to the pubic bone, is released. This allows the internal part of the penis to drop down, becoming visible externally.
• The Benefit: Can add significant flaccid length (typically 2cm to 4cm) without affecting erection stability.
