    What Is an Average Sized Penis?

    If you feel like you have a small penis that’s affecting your confidence and sexual performance, you’re not alone. About one in five men think their manhood is too small. Close to 45 percent want a bigger shaft. Many men have a condition called small penis syndrome, which is a variant of a mental health condition called body dysmorphic disorder. In fact, an average sized penis is:

    • 6 inches long when flaccid
    • 17 inches when erect
    • Rare to be longer than six inches when erect

    A medical condition called micropenis is diagnosed if your penis is less than 2.75 inches when soft and stretched. Whether you have a micropenis or just think that your penis is too small, after a thorough mental and physical exam to make sure you understand the realities of your member’s size, your New York City physician can provide you with alternatives to get you to the size you want.

    What Other Conditions Can Be Relieved with Cosmetic Intervention?

    Many men come to Penile Enhancement Center of New York with concerns that are supported by a thorough medical examination. Once your NYC doctors have conducted a discreet online consultation and determined that you’re a good candidate for penile enhancements, you visit one of three NYC locations for a medical assessment. Some of the most common medical conditions penile specialists see include:

    Will My Penis Shrink as I Get Older?

    Lack of testosterone as you age, coupled with weight gain around and below your abdomen may appear to shrink your penis. Penile atrophy can happen as you age, leading to volume loss in your penis. If you feel like your sex life is hampered by the reduced size of your penis, you may be an ideal candidate for penile enlargement.

    The most common age of men seeking penis enlargement is over 60 and studies have shown that even if you’re well into your 70s, you can still have a satisfying sex life following surgery. It turns out that the best age for penile enhance procedures is when you and your partner feel ready to take the plunge.

    Are Penile Enhancement Surgeries Covered by Insurance?

    Most enhancement surgeries are considered cosmetic and therefore not covered by insurance. Certain medical conditions of the penis may be covered, such as a birth defect or deformity. Very often these defects are discovered at an early age and covered at that time. You can, however, find alternative funding options through your NYC doctor’s office or other sources, especially when you consider a procedure to be an investment in your self-esteem and your sex life.

    What Are the Side Effects of Penis Enlargement Surgery?

    When you rely on the most competent doctors in cosmetic surgery like you find at Penile Enhancement Center of New York, your risks are greatly reduced and eliminated. Following penis surgery, mild side effects that disappear within days or weeks may include:

    • Feeling like the skin is being stretched
    • Discomfort
    • Itching as healing takes place

    Rare complications may include scarring or erectile dysfunction. Don’t take chances with illegal or off-brand over-the-counter penis injections as consequences can be devastating.

    How Long Does It Take to See Results from a Penis Enlargement Procedure?

    For some procedures, such as fillers, the results are immediately evident. With others, you may have to wait until you’re fully healed and the swelling has gone down to see the final result. When you have realistic expectations and a full explanation of what to expect, you know it’s worth the short wait.

    Following your doctor’s aftercare instructions improves your chances of a complete, quick and healthy recovery. You likely must wait a few weeks before returning to your normal sexual activities and exercise routines.

    How Do I Know What I’ll Look Like?

    Your Long Island doctors at Penile Enhancement Center of New York let you know what to expect from your procedure. You can also peruse the before and after gallery and take advantage of all the patient resources available through your NYC doctor’s website.
