Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Body Dysmorphic Disorders
  • Cosmetic Surgery

Background:

  • Small Penis Syndrome (SPS) is a body dysmorphic disorder where men perceive their penis as small despite average size.
  • The increasing acceptance of cosmetic surgery presents challenges in managing SPS for urologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of aesthetic penile augmentation procedures.
  • To summarize recent studies on penile augmentation techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on surgical, minimally invasive, and noninvasive penile augmentation.
  • Analysis of techniques including grafts, flaps, ligament release, lipectomy, fillers, vacuum pumps, and traction devices.

Main Results:

  • Penile augmentation procedures vary from invasive surgery to noninvasive devices.
  • Minimally invasive options include filler injections (hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid, polymethyl methacrylate).
  • Noninvasive methods involve external devices like vacuum pumps and traction devices.

Conclusions:

  • Aesthetic penile augmentation is a growing patient desire but remains clinically controversial.
  • There is a significant need for further research and established consensus on penile augmentation procedures.
