Understanding the difference between penis enlargement surgery and penis fillers

Penis enlargement has become increasingly popular, and patients often ask about the difference between surgical enlargement and filler-based enhancement. While both approaches can improve confidence and appearance, they achieve results in different ways.


Penis Enlargement Surgery (Ligament Release + Fat Transfer)

What the procedure involves

  • A Urologist releases the suspensory ligament to increase visible flaccid length.

  • Fat is harvested, purified, and transferred to the penis for permanent girth increase.

  • The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
