Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Enlargement: Pros & Cons

Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Enlargement: Pros & Cons

If you’re considering penile enhancement, you probably don’t know which procedure is better for you. The quick answer is that it depends on your goals, but it’s still more complicated than that, since there are likely several procedures to accomplish every goal. As you may have guessed from the title of this article, each procedure has pros and cons that need to be weighed against your goals and preferences.

As the expert cosmetic specialists at Penile Enhancement Center of New York, our job is to simplify your decision by walking you through your options. There are major differences between quick, but temporary non-surgical fillers and complex, but permanent surgeries. Your choice among the various services involves a number of factors.

What Non-Surgical Penis Enlargement Procedures Are Available?

Not everyone wants a surgical penis enlargement, and honestly, not everyone benefits from one. So we offer non-surgical options that aim to increase the girth of your unit, enhance its symmetry and improve your overall confidence. The most common approach is to use penile fillers, but even with this choice, you have two different formulas to compare, including:

1. Temporary hyaluronic acid (HA) penile fillers
2. Permanent fillers, such as PMMA and Ellansé

If you feel your concern is the appearance of your scrotum, we also offer a scrotal Botox treatment to create a smoother appearance. These procedures are all comfortably tolerated, as we apply a numbing cream or even a nerve block if needed. Each procedure takes between 20 and 40 minutes.

Filler touch-ups, when required, are simple and reversal options are available if you use an HA filler. The best penile enlargement doctors, Dr. David Shokrian and Dr. Mohamed Elfar at Penile Enhancement Center of New York, are board certified and experienced, ensuring your safety is a priority.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing a Non-Surgical Treatment Option?

Non-surgical penile enlargement may be the first recommended option, but it really depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. There’s only so much you can do without surgery. Even surgery has its limits, but it also comes with associated risks and complications.

The biggest advantage with non-surgical options is the immediate, natural-looking increase in penile girth. Many men opt for a filler and leave after the procedure with a fuller, smoother shaft and a boost in confidence. Other benefits include:

• You need a minimal recovery time, so you can return to your regular activities much sooner than after surgery.
• Non-surgical fillers allow precision control and predictable results.
• Your cosmetic doctor can shape the filler as needed, including fixing any asymmetry, for natural-looking results.
• You may ask for multiple sessions to build up your results over time.
• With temporary fillers, you have the reassurance of easy reversibility.
• You go home the same day with low risks and no scars.
• Your aftercare guide is simple: basically keep the area clean and avoid sexual activity for about a week.

What Are the Disadvantages of Non-Surgical Enlargement Procedures?

Even though non-surgical treatment is an excellent option for many men, it may not be the right choice for you. A common limitation is that fillers only provide a moderate increase in girth, and you may need more structural support than injectables provide. If you have thin skin, major penile asymmetry or a hidden or buried penis, fillers may not be the solution you need. Other penile filler limitations include:

• They don’t offer a dramatic enlargement.
• Filler maintenance is required every 12 to 18 months for temporary fillers.
• Touch-ups are needed even with longer-lasting fillers, like PMMA or Ellansé.
• You can expect mild side effects, such as bruising and swelling, although they resolve with time.
• Fillers aren’t a permanent solution.

In cases where you have scar tissue from previous procedures, tightening around your shaft or a curvature that limits injection spots, your results may not be predictable. If you have a severe girth deficiency, fillers may not offer the size increase you’re looking for. If you want a stable, long-term solution that doesn’t require adjustments, you may want to consider surgical solutions.

What Surgical Penile Enlargement Options Are Available?

If you’re looking for a more permanent or more dramatic improvement than what fillers offer, Penile Enhancement Center of New York provides a number of penis enlargement surgeries. Whether you want more enlargement than non-surgical options can produce or you have a condition like age-related volume loss or a diagnosed micropenis, surgical options provide a way to physically modify the supporting structures of your penis, giving you remarkable results. You can choose from options, such as:

• Penile lengthening surgery
• Permanent girth surgery via a fat transfer
• Grafts for penile girth enhancement
• An implant for girth enhancement
• Penis head enlargement surgery
• A public lift to make your penis appear longer
• Scrotal procedures

Each technique differs slightly, but most enlargement procedures take 60 to 120 minutes to complete. A ligament release is faster than girth procedures like a fat transfer. The procedures are painless under sedation, and you can expect mild-to-moderate discomfort after the procedure, well controlled with medication.

What Are the Advantages if I Choose a Surgical Option?

If you opt for the surgical route, the biggest difference between non-surgical results and surgical results is the duration of the changes. Surgical options make structural changes to your penis that fillers can’t. You get permanent improvements that offer a dramatic increase and a level of stability. You don’t require touch-ups, either. If you choose penis enlargement surgery over non-surgical methods, your guaranteed benefits include:

• Dramatic enlargement in both length and girth, depending on your procedure
• Improved structural support
• Treatment that addresses conditions like a micropenis, asymmetry, Peyronie’s disease and scarring
• Uniform girth once you recover
• No maintenance needed
• Solution for deeper anatomical concerns

There are drawbacks to these surgical methods, however. You must weigh the pros and cons before you choose a surgical option. The surgeries are complex procedures that require incisions, anesthesia and stitches. Your recovery period may range from weeks to months in some cases. Other considerations include:

• Swelling and bruising that lasts longer than the that from fillers
• A higher risk of post-operative complications
• A restriction of sexual activity up to eight weeks
• Results that are not reversible
• Greater costs than non-surgical procedures

How Do I Know Which Option Is Better for Me?

Now that you’re aware of the pros and cons of surgical vs. non-surgical penis enlargement procedures, you need to realistically weigh your goals vs. all the factors. Your final decision depends on three things: what you want, how quickly you want results and how comfortable you are with downtime. A non-surgical procedure may be better for you if:

• You want a quick increase in girth with no downtime.
• You prefer a reversible option.
• You’re looking for a subtle enhancement.
• You prefer a low-risk approach.
• You want to correct specific areas of your penis.

If you want a permanent and more visible improvement in length or girth, especially if you’ve already tried fillers, then your solution is likely a surgical enlargement procedure. Choose surgery if:

• You want a permanent penis enlargement.
• You want a one-time solution, so you don’t need to go through a procedure again.
• You’re comfortable with a longer recovery.
• You need structural correction.
