What Is a Micropenis?
A micropenis is a dick that has a stretched length of less than 3.67 inches. Most men have a stretched penile length of around 5.25 inches. A micropenis is usually diagnosed at birth. Micropenis treatments for a child with a micropenis usually includes hormone therapy to correct any hormone imbalance. Many men worry that their dick may be too small but a true micropenis is a rare condition.

What Causes a Micropenis?
True micropenis is usually caused by hormonal issues during fetal development. This condition is present from birth and typically diagnosed in infancy. Causes of micropenis include:
- Testosterone deficiencies in pregnancy
- Androgen insensitivity, which is an inability to respond to testosterone
- Abnormal chromosomes
- Growth hormone deficiency
The cause of a micropenis can’t always be identified. When a doctor is unable to pinpoint the cause, the condition is considered idiopathic.
What Are Options for Micropenis Treatments?
Micropenis treatments typically start with testosterone treatments or therapy with other hormones before puberty, which may help your manhood grow naturally. Micropenis treatments for men who have an abnormally small member as an adult include:
- Penuma® implant. Surgery to make the junk appear longer and wider is done by inserting a silicon implant under the penile skin. This procedure has been approved by the FDA.
- Fat transfer. Your Manhattan plastic surgeon suctions fat from an area where it’s not needed, such as the abdomen. This fat is purified and injected into the sides of your unit, helping it appear longer and wider.
- Suspensory ligament division. This surgical procedure involves cutting ligaments that attach the penis to the pubic bone, which makes it appear longer and wider.
- Dermal graft or allograft penile enhancement. This is considered permanent girth surgery and is done by inserting donor tissue into the penile shaft to enhance girth, which is the circumference of the penis.
- Pubic lift (monsplasty). Men who have a hidden or buried penis have a dick that appears small because of hanging skin or fat in the pubic area. These men may benefit from this procedure in which fat or skin is removed from the area above your dick, allowing the penis to become more visible.
Not all men whose dick is smaller than average are considered to have a micropenis. It’s common for men to feel that the length or girth of their dick is inadequate and to want to explore what can be done to improve the appearance of their member. Some men have other conditions that affect penis size such as:
Having a micropenis doesn’t necessarily mean there are problems with functioning, but some men do have functional problems that should be addressed by a doctor. Functional problems may be related to penis size and include having difficulty urinating while standing and difficulty having penetrative intercourse.
What Happens at a Consultation for Micropenis Treatments?
When you set up a consultation for micropenis treatments, your NYC plastic surgeon reviews your medical history and does a physical examination to determine if you have a true micropenis. He asks questions related to your overall health as well as your goals and expectations from treatment. Things that may be discussed include:
- Whether you have certain medical conditions that might make surgical treatment a poor choice for you
- What medications you’re taking
- What treatments have been previously attempted
If it’s determined that you have small penis syndrome. which is a form of body dysmorphic disorder, you may be asked to undergo more mental health assessments to ensure you have realistic expectations and aren’t intending to harm yourself with illegal injections.
If you’re uncomfortable about the length or circumference of your dick, setting up a discreet online consultation with a knowledgeable penis enlargement doctor is the best way to find out what your options are. Before your consultation, write down a list of questions to give your doctor a complete view of your thoughts and intentions.
What Are Options for Non-Surgical Micropenis Treatments?
Having a small dick may make you self-conscious, but at the same time, you may not be ready for surgery. Fortunately, there are a few options for non-surgical penis enlargement, such as:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers for penis enlargement. This is the most common type of filler for penis enlargement. It’s done as a simple outpatient procedure using a substance that’s contained within your body. It’s a temporary way to increase the circumference of your member, with results lasting up to 18 months. It’s completely reversible if you’re unhappy with the results.
- Permanent fillers for penis girth. There are some forms of non-surgical treatment that increase penis girth on a long-term basis, such as Ellansé and PMMA. The added girth and sometimes length lasts for at least a few years, making filler maintenance and touch-ups unnecessary.
- Combination treatments. Different approaches to increasing the length or width of your dick can be combined with regenerative therapies and done at the same time.
