Medical Penis Enlargement Problems

Fat Transfer Problems

Transferring adipose tissue via liposuction and injection will increase the girth, or width of the penis. The resulting effects however over time are a disapointment to many of the men undergoing this penis enlargement surgery procedure.

Nodules, lumps, pits and cavities causing gross distortions of the penis when flaccid and erect became the norm with fat transfer procedures. Additionally, following surgery for penile enhancement, patients were beginning to experience erectile dysfunction secondary to the scarring from the techniques used.

That's why surgeons are now choosing to use Alloderm for medical penis enlargement.

New Transfer Method

Recently, a variation of the fat transfer method has been implemented which proponents claim overcomes the re-absorption problem.

Rather than using liposuctioned fat cells, dermal fat grafting utilizes complete strips of skin and fat together.

Surgeons using this method say the skin stops the fat from being re-absorbed. Because this procedure requires strips to be grafted onto the penis (rather than simply injecting the fat cells) the surgery is more involved and the risk of scarring is much greater.

Medical Opinion on Fat Transfer

Enlargement of the penis by fat injection is considered an experimental high-risk procedure, and there is currently insufficient data to establish its safety and effectiveness, according the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
