Penis enlargement surgery and injectable fillers are often discussed as if they are interchangeable. In reality, they are very different treatments, suited to different goals, anatomies, and expectations.
This article explains the key differences between penis enlargement surgery and fillers, helping you understand which option may be appropriate for you.
Penis enlargement surgery is a permanent surgical solution that may involve:
Suspensory ligament release (to improve flaccid length)
Fat transfer (to increase girth)
Surgery is performed by a Specialist Urologist and is tailored to individual anatomy.
