Step by step

How the Procedure Works

1

Confidential consultation

Anatomical assessment, discussion of objectives, presentation of appropriate techniques (ligament division, lipofilling or combination), information on realistic results.

2

Local or general anaesthesia

Depending on the technique and your preference, the procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia, on an outpatient basis.

3

Surgical procedure

Division of the suspensory ligament for lengthening and/or harvesting and injection of autologous fat (lipofilling) for girth enhancement.

Post-operative care and follow-up

Elongation device recommended after ligament division. Scar review at Day 15 and Day 45. Definitive result at 6–12 months.

Insurance Coverage

Health Insurance Coverage

What to expect

Expected Results

The average gain observed with ligament division is 1 to 3 cm in the flaccid state. Lipofilling increases diameter in a proportionate manner. Definitive results are visible at 3 to 6 months, once swelling has resolved and the fat graft has stabilised. Improvement in self-confidence is often the most significant benefit reported.

Before / after photographs

Before/after photographs are available during the consultation at the Paris 16th practice. They will allow you to assess the results and define your personal objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What penoplasty techniques are available?+
Two main techniques are used: division of the suspensory ligament of the penis, which allows visible lengthening in the flaccid state (average gain of 1 to 3 cm), and autologous lipofilling (injection of fat harvested from the patient), which increases diameter in a proportionate manner. These techniques can be combined in a single procedure depending on your anatomical and personal objectives.
What realistic results can be expected?+
The gain from ligament division is 1 to 3 cm in the flaccid state; the result during erection is less pronounced. Lipofilling increases girth harmoniously but partial fat resorption (10 to 30%) is possible in the long term. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre will present photographic results during the consultation and define realistic objectives for your morphology. Improvement in self-confidence is often the most significant benefit reported.
What are the specific risks of penoplasty?+
Risks specific to ligament division include a change in erection angle (generally well tolerated), a discreet pubic scar and possible loss of gain if post-operative elongation exercises are not followed. For lipofilling: partial resorption, asymmetry, surface irregularities in case of over-injection. Infectious complications remain rare with rigorous asepsis.
What is the cost of penoplasty?+
The fee varies according to the technique chosen (ligament division alone, lipofilling alone or combination). Aesthetic penoplasty is not covered by health insurance, so the cost is entirely at the patient's expense. A detailed and transparent quote is provided during the pre-operative consultation, in accordance with regulations.
Who are the best candidates for penoplasty?+
The best candidates are adult men in good health with realistic expectations and a well-considered request. Psychological distress linked to an established complex, with repercussions on intimate and social life, may justify the approach. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre ensures during the consultation that the request is consistent with technical possibilities and that the patient has received full information.
Are the results durable?+
The results of ligament division are stable over time, provided the post-operative elongation protocol is followed. For lipofilling, the volume stabilised after 3 to 6 months is generally maintained durably. A second lipofilling session may be considered if initial resorption is deemed too significant.
Are there risks to sexual function?+
Division of the suspensory ligament may slightly alter the angle of erection, which is generally well tolerated. Lipofilling does not affect erectile function. Neither technique affects fertility or glans sensitivity. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre will inform you precisely of the implications of each technique during the consultation.
When can sexual activity be resumed?+
Resumption of sexual activity is recommended after 6 to 8 weeks post-operatively. Strict abstinence is necessary during the healing phase to avoid any mechanical or infectious complication.
Is the consultation confidential?+
Yes, absolutely. The consultation at the Paris 16th practice takes place in a framework of total confidentiality and compassion. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre receives his patients with respect and discretion, without judgement.
Is it necessary to wear an elongation device after ligament division?+
Yes, after division of the suspensory ligament, wearing an elongation device (penile extender) is strongly recommended for 4 to 6 hours per day over a period of 3 to 6 months. This protocol is essential to maintain and optimise the lengthening gain obtained. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre will prescribe the appropriate device and explain its use.
