During surgery, penile reconstruction techniques may be combined to help expand tissues, allowing the implantation of a device with greater length and girth.
The goal of a penile implant is to restore the functional capacity of the penis, which can be affected in cases of severe erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, and after prostate surgery. Men who meet any of these indications often wonder what penis size will be like after a penile implant. This is a very common question, since this aspect tends to be highly valued. Below, learn how length may look after implantation and which factors influence the aesthetic outcome.
Does a Penile Implant Increase Penis Size? The Truth
The purpose of a penile implant is not to increase penis size, but rather to restore vertical rigidity—meaning to make it functional again for sexual intercourse, depending on the individual response and clinical context. In selected cases (for example, with fibrosis/curvature), the urologist may combine reconstruction maneuvers before implantation, with the goal of optimizing length and girth within anatomical limits. The approach is planned to respect anatomical limits and preserve structures related to sensation and urinary function, reducing risks. After this step, the surgeon chooses the most appropriate prosthesis for the reconstructed penis. Therefore, it does not mean that a penile implant increases penis size. What can happen is that, in many cases, the implant may help recover part of the length lost due to disease and fibrosis. Results vary according to anatomy, degree of fibrosis, type of implant, and technique.
How Many Centimeters Can the Penis Increase?
A paper published by Dr. Paulo Egydio in 2020 analyzed 416 patients, 287 of whom had Peyronie’s disease, with a mean curvature of 51°. Reconstruction was performed before implantation, and the size gain observed with a penile implant ranged between 2 and 6 centimeters.
How Much Does a “Penis Enlargement” Surgery Cost?
A penile implant is not indicated as a penis enlargement surgery. In contexts of shortening due to fibrosis/Peyronie’s disease, combined reconstructive techniques may be considered with the goal of recovering measurements as feasible. As for the penile prosthesis surgery price, it ranges between R$2,000 and R$8,000. This amount refers to national implants and does not include the medical team’s fees.
