Penoplasty with Fat Grafting
There is a huge number of men who are unhappy with their penis length, thickness, or overall appearance. Penis enlargement surgery and penis fillers are possible options for such individuals. However, many men do not want to undergo surgery with incisions or inject filler chemicals into their body. Penis enlargement with fat grafting, also known as penoplasty or phalloplasty, is an excellent alternative for such individuals. Continue reading to learn more about this treatment and how it can help increase the length and/or girth of the penis.
What is penoplasty?
As noted, one of the ways to increase the length of the penis is through penis enlargement surgery. This is achieved by cutting the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone. It is therefore primarily a penile lengthening surgery and does not significantly increase penis girth. Also, suspensory ligament division is a surgical procedure that requires incisions. It is associated with a recovery time of 4-6 weeks.
An effective way to increase the girth of the penis is by injecting a filler like hyaluronic acid into the shaft. The recovery time is shorter for this type of penis enlargement procedure. There are no incisions, but it involves injecting a filler into the penis. For men who are not comfortable with either of these procedures, penile fat grafting is an option worth considering.
Penoplasty or girth augmentation phalloplasty is a type of penis augmentation procedure that uses fat transfer. It is a natural and non-surgical procedure in that no chemicals are injected into the body and no incisions are needed. The length and girth enhancement in the penis is achieved through fat transfer or fat grafting. In other words, adipose tissue (fat) is taken from one area of the body, purified, and injected into the penis to increase penis size.
What is the difference between fat transfer and fat grafting?
Fat transfer, fat grafting, and lipofilling are all names of the same or similar procedures. They involve taking a person's fat from one part of the body which is called the donor site (this is usually the abdomen or thighs). The fat is then purified and transferred or grafted into another part of the body (in this case the penis). Fat grafting is a well-established technique that was developed in the 1990s. When performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, fat transfer for penis enlargement is a safe procedure with good patient satisfaction rates. The fat is obtained from the patient's own body and the procedure does not involve injection of any chemical or external substances into the body, so there is no risk of an allergic reaction.
Who is Alessandro Littara?
When you search for penis enlargement surgery online, one name may pop up again and again. Professor Alessandro Littara is a leading authority in the field of penoplasty aesthetic surgery, a technique he developed in the 1990s. He practices at his Harley Street, London offices and has performed more than 4,000 penis enlargement procedures.
One of the treatments Professor Littara offers is the Puregraft fat grafting procedure for penis size enlargement. This is an autologous fat grafting procedure in which fat is collected from the abdomen, hips, or thighs. The fat cells are then purified using the Puregraft filtration system which removes damaged cells, oils, fluids, and blood that were collected along with the fat cells during the liposuction or fat harvesting. The purified fat cells are then carefully injected into the penis to give it a more voluminous look and achieve penis enlargement.
Is penoplasty penis enlargement surgery permanent?
Fat transfer can increase penis size with natural-looking and long-lasting results. However, the results may not be permanent.
The success or failure of penile fat grafting depends on many factors. Fat grafting procedures have the potential to be permanent. But it is common for the body to reabsorb up to 30% of the transplanted fat cells. Fat necrosis (death of the fat cells) can also occur. Both of these things can lead to non-permanent results from fat grafting.
Surgeons overfill the penis during fat transfer based on this expected partial absorption. However, some patients report that the results of penile fat grafting do not last beyond 12 months.
How long does fat grafting to increase penis length last?
Fat transfer is an excellent option for men who are looking to increase penis girth. The procedure can make the penis thicker by up to 30-40%. Surgeons can use filtration systems like Puregraft and PRP to improve the chances of fat cell survival. However, there is a risk of significant fat reabsorption in the first 12 months after the procedure. Results vary from patient to patient and it is impossible to predict whether the penis fat graft will be permanent or not in a particular individual.
What are the side effects and risks of penis fat transfer?
Like all procedures, fat grafting carries the risk of side effects. The most common side effects are discomfort, redness, and swelling in the penis following the fat transfer. Besides the risks associated with the girth enhancement procedure itself, there are additional side effects related to fat grafting. One possible side effect is that erections can sometimes feel softer after a penoplasty procedure. Another possible side effect is texture changes. The skin of the shaft of the penis is thin and has a relatively poor blood supply. This can lead to fat necrosis and lumpiness after the fat transfer. For this reason, some men develop lumps in the penis after phalloplasty.
What to expect with augmentation phalloplasty?
Fat grafting for penile girth enhancement is done as a two-stage procedure. The two stages of the enhancement surgery can be completed at the same visit. The first part of the procedure involves liposuction from the abdomen, thighs, or love handles. The fat is filtered and purified and then injected around the shaft of the penis. Surgeons usually do this through circumcision incisions and place the fat under the penile skin and dartos fascia.
Results of fat transfer penoplasty
After fat grafting for penis enlargement, you will notice a significant increase in penis girth by up to 30-40%. This is because most of the injected fat is still viable at this early stage. Also, post-procedure swelling can enhance the initial penis girth. However, over time you will notice changes in your penis. The overall increase in penis girth will depend on the amount of transferred fat that survives and the amount of fat necrosis that occurs.
How much does penis fat transfer cost?
In the United Kingdom, a fat graft phalloplasty costs around £5,500. Costs can vary depending on where you live. Your provider will give you a quote before your procedure. You should check whether the quoted price includes additional procedures such as Puregraft and PRP. Some providers include treatment of hard nodules or lumps in the first 2 years in their quote.
Finding a provider for penis enlargement
If you are not happy with how your penis looks, you are one of millions of men. Fortunately, there are many plastic surgery procedures available to you that can increase the length of the penis or make the penis girth thicker. Penis fat grafting is one such non-surgical procedure with natural-looking results. However, like all procedures, it carries some risks. To reduce the risk of complications and side effects, it's important to choose a provider who has extensive experience with these types of procedures. The provider should also carefully evaluate whether you are a candidate for penis enlargement with fat transfer. If not, they can recommend other phalloplasty procedures to you that can increase the length and thickness of your penis shaft.
