Penile Enlargement, Vanity or Reasonable Cosmetic Decision
Hi Dr. Reed,
I am a 35 year old white male in good physical health
albeit a little under weight for my 5 7 frame. I am very
curious to know how many of your patients undergo
penile enlargement for no other reason than personal
satisfaction? I ask this because I want to be bigger
just for myself. I guess it’s like buying a Mercedes
when your old car is just fine. You just want to feel
special.
Does this kind of thinking bother you and do you try
to discourage people like me from surgery?

Dear Kal,
For most, the operation (phalloplasty, augmentation phalloplasty) is a cosmetic one and not
medically necessary. I believe during arousal for both
your partner and yourself, being well represented is a turn-on.
My responsibility is to tell you, you are normal if that is
the case. Normal is a range that includes 88% of the all measured.
We do note however, that a good majority of our patients
are below the median and can sympathize with their wanting to catch up.
Please see our phalloplasty before and after photos and phalloplasty images. The phalloplasty costs are posted on our web-site.
