Glans Size Concerns

How Common Are Glans Size Concerns?

If you think your glans, which is the head of your penis, looks smaller than the shaft, you’re among more than 37 percent of men. This disproportionate lack of glans definition, even with a normal shaft size, may bother you enough to affect your self-confidence. But this penile imbalance may also cause functional issues.

If you’re concerned about this issue, penile head enlargement is a relatively common plastic surgery procedure. Drs. David Shokrian and Mohamed Elfar at Penile Enhancement Center of New York offer glans enhancement surgery that delivers natural-looking results. Penis glans enlargement can give you the confidence you always wanted.

What Causes a Small or Underdeveloped Glans?

An underdeveloped or small glans develops for medical, genetic or developmental reasons. In some cases, it’s tolerated as a natural variation. In certain cases, other factors contribute to making the glans appear smaller, such as:

• Disproportionate shaft growth
• A tight foreskin
• Aging volume loss
• Previous penile surgery
• Reduced blood flow to the penis

If you believe the small glans appearance is affecting your confidence or overall health, consider a glans enlargement procedure to restore the balance and definition of your penis head. If you qualify for the procedure, your male plastic surgeon explains everything, including the:

• Risk of complications
• Permanent glans enlargement cost
• Financing and payment plans
• Recovery and aftercare

Can I Get Non-Surgical Glans Enlargement?

A glans enlargement addresses your concerns with the size or definition of your penis head. Advanced techniques make glans enhancement safer than previous methods. Your NYC plastic surgeon may even recommend minimally invasive, non-surgical methods to add volume to your penile head. Options include:

• A hyaluronic acid filler
• A more permanent collagen-stimulating filler
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
• Growth factor injections, as they become available
• A combination of treatments

These procedures offer few risks and minimal downtime. When performed by an experienced penile surgeon like Dr. Shokrian or Dr. Elfar, they’re safe and effective. If you want a permanent change, have major asymmetry or scarring, or have insufficient soft tissue for filler-based penile head enlargement, your surgeon may recommend a surgical glans enhancement.

What Are My Surgical Options for a Penis Glans Enlargement?

Penile head enlargement surgery may be recommended when non-surgical options haven’t worked or have been deemed unlikely to work. If you need a surgical solution, talk to an experienced penile surgeon like Dr. Shokrian or Dr. Elfar. Surgical glans enhancement options include:

• Dermal grafting. This procedure integrates your own tissue into your glans for a permanent solution. It takes one to two hours.
• Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) graft. This procedure was designed for men who want a permanent solution without tissue harvesting. It takes about 90 minutes.
• Sub-glans implant. This is a rare procedure that offers a permanent solution, but requires future adjustments. It takes 60 to 90 minutes.
• Surgical scar release. This procedure offers a permanent solution by correcting scar tissue. It normally takes 45 to 90 minutes.

Allow your plastic surgeon to guide you in choosing the best option for you, whether surgical or non-surgical. Fillers are quick with minimal downtime, while surgery offers a permanent change. Take into account the permanent glans enlargement cost, as well as your risk factors, recovery time and expectations.

What’s Involved in a Penis Glans Enlargement Procedure?

The surgical procedure for a penile head enlargement depends on the technique you and your surgeon choose. Surgeries are completed at the Penile Enhancement Center of New York office. After a thorough evaluation that results in a diagnosis, a grafting procedure usually involves steps that include:

1. Incision. A small incision is made to access the glans tissue.
2. Placement of the graft. A dermal graft or a graft of biocompatible material is placed under the glans to add permanent enhancement.
3. Shaping. The graft is then contoured to match your natural anatomy.
4. Closure. The incision is closed with stitches for maximum healing.

You may return home the same day with minimal side effects. Follow the doctor’s recovery tips. For a non-surgical glans enhancement with fillers, the process takes between 20 to 30 minutes, using only topical or local anesthesia. You can expect steps, such as:

1. Assesment. Your NYC surgeon examines the glans shape and symmetry to find a safe injection point.
2. Numbing. A topical anesthesia is applied to make the procedure comfortable.
3. Filler placement. A hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating filler is injected into the layers of your penis head to add volume.
4. Shaping. Your surgeon smooths and distributes the filler for a natural contour.

You may notice some mild side effects after your procedure, but these resolve on their own after a short time. Your plastic surgeon may ask you to follow post-care instructions like keeping the incision site dry, avoiding sexual activity and applying cold compresses. Recovery time varies, but you can expect gradual improvement for several weeks.

What Results Can I Expect after a Penis Glans Enlargement?

After your procedure, you may see immediate improvement, as your penile head appears to be in better proportion with your shaft. Once the swelling and other after-effects of your procedure decrease, you notice a smoother shape, improved projection and a natural feel. Results from fillers last nine to 19 months in general, and results from surgical penile head enlargement are permanent.
