Penis Enlargement Surgeons

Dr. Douglas Whitehead

Dr. Whitehead specializes in male genital surgery. Approximately 95% of his practice involves penis enlargement surgery (phalloplasty).

Approximately one-third to one-half of the penis is inside the body, and is internally attached to the undersurface of the pubic bone. Penis lengthening involves the release of the fundiform ligament and the suspensory ligament that attaches the 2 erectile bodies to the pubic bone. The suspensory ligament makes the penis arch under the pubic bone. Release of this ligament allows the penis to protrude on a straighter path, further outward to give more functional length.

Lengthening The Penis

Dr.Whitehead makes a 1" to 1½" lower abdominal incision in the pubic hair area for concealment or a new incision in the penile-pubic crease for concealment. This is a relatively minor procedure. There will be no scar on the penis and there is no possibility of pubic hair on the penis. He also recommends use of specially designed penile weights to maximize penile lengthening and combat possible scar formation.

Average expected length gain is 1 inch. Well motivated patients may gain up to 2 inches. Usually there is a slightly smaller penile length gain in the erect state than in the flaccid state. Some penile length may be obtained by significant weight loss (greater than 35 lbs.) if a large infrapubic fat pad is present or by a penile stretching device.

Alloderm Specialist

Dr. Whitehead has noticed a permanent increase in penile girth (circumference) in the flaccid state with our pericavernosal (P/C) Allograft Dermal Matrix Graft using Alloderm. While a 40 to 50% gain in girth (flaccid state) may be achieved, most men get an increase of about 30%. An approximate 5 to 10% gain in girth is obtained in the erect state. Because autograft dermal fat grafts for penile widening require a donor site(s) and, therefore, incision(s) and scar(s) --- 6 years ago I stopped using autograft dermal fat grafts and since then only use Allograft Dermal Matrix Grafts (Alloderm®) in my patients who wish penile widening.

With the Allograft Dermal Matrix Graft (Alloderm ®) technique we are adding multiple layers of Allograft Dermal Matrix Graft (Alloderm ®) under the penile skin on top of the erectile chambers to give thickness by "stacking" or "folding" the grafts. I do not use strips of Allograft Dermal Matrix Graft (Alloderm ®), but create a conjoined graft. There are no contour defects and appearance and feel are normal. A penile stretching device is suggested after the widening procedure to combat scar contraction that might occur.
