Why Consider Penile Implant Removal?

You might consider penile implant removal when post-op complications and dissatisfaction with the result outweigh the implant’s benefits (if any).

Here are some concerns that may require a removal procedure:

• Dissatisfaction With Appearance
  If you’re unhappy with how your penis looks after the penile implant procedure, you might benefit from surgical removal and cosmetic correction by an experienced specialist like Dr. Solomon.
• Infection
  Did you know that the infection rate for penile implants is three to four times higher than for most other types of implants?
  While every surgery carries some risk of infection, the rate for penile implants is relatively high—about 3.2% of people who’ve had it.
  That’s three to four times higher than the typical 1% to 3% infection rate seen with breast implants and other common procedures.
  If you’ve experienced swelling, tenderness, or signs of infection around the implant, it’s important to speak with a qualified specialist as soon as possible.
  Dr. Solomon doesn’t risk leaving a part of the infected implant behind. His approach ensures complete removal of the implant, including any attached synthetic mesh (when present), to minimize risk and promote proper healing.
• Device Breakage
  Subcutaneous silicone penile implants can fracture into pieces inside the body—a deeply distressing complication.
  One tragic example involves a man who won a free penile implant procedure through a contest.
  About five years after his procedure, the implant split apart, leaving the fragments “floating” under his skin.
  If something similar has happened to you, know this: it’s not too late to take back control.
  Dr. Solomon has extensive experience fixing complications like this, including device fracture, and can help guide you toward a safe and effective solution.
• Implant Erosion
  Some men have experienced silicone penile implants eroding through the skin—causing parts of it to protrude through the surface.
  The penile shaft skin is thin, and inserting a block of silicone can sometimes lead to tissue breakdown.
• Seroma Formation
  The implant can trigger chronic seromas (accumulation of fluid under the skin) around the surgical site.
  This fluid buildup can cause pain and psychological stress, often resulting in more doctor visits and hospital stays, which may increase overall health expenses.
  Left untreated, a seroma can also lead to wound complications and increase the risk of infection and abscess development.
• Scar Tissue and Deformity
  As with other surgical procedures, scar tissue can also develop after silicone penile implant surgery.
  But in some cases, the body’s scar response to the device can go beyond typical healing and deform the penis.
  Men have reported a shortening of the penis or a curving as scar tissue contracts around the implant.
• Chronic Pain
  A 2025 study on the adverse events associated with a popular silicone penile implant showed that 9% of the patients opted for an explantation (removal of the implant) due to surgery-related pain.
  Some patients experience persistent stabbing pain when engaging in sexual activity or taking a shower.
  One patient shared, “[I feel like] a prisoner in my own body,” probably due to the constant pain caused by the implant digging into his pubic bone.
  If you’re living with pain like this, give us a call.
  Dr. Solomon understands how debilitating this can be and is here to help you find relief and reclaim your quality of life.
• Nerve Compression and Sensation Loss
  Perhaps one of the most troubling complications is loss of sensation in the glans (head of the penis).
  The way a subcutaneous silicone penile implant is anchored—with mesh wrapped around the penis near the head—can trap or compress the nerves that provide feeling to the glans.
• Psychological Distress
  Men who develop complications due to a failed penile implant procedure may feel regret, depression, or anxiety.
  They may also be embarrassed to talk about their situation, which can prevent them from seeking appropriate support.
  In a harrowing example, one patient became so devastated after his implant broke and was removed that he attempted suicide.
  Another surgeon noted “the deep despair of men who can’t unring the bell.” In other words, men who deeply wish they could undo the surgery.
  This highlights how devastating a failed penile implant surgery can be to a man’s mental health and self-esteem.
• Partner input
  One patient shared that his wife was getting microtears during intimacy and had started looking into surgery to enlarge the vaginal opening.
  Sometimes, it’s not just your own discomfort that matters. If your partner is in pain or struggling during sex, it can take a toll on both of you.

Can a Penile Implant Be Removed?

If you want to remove your silicone penile implant, know that help is within reach. You can regain your confidence and sense of normalcy with the help of reputable penile revision surgeons like Dr. Solomon.

Dr. Solomon, a recognized authority in penile enhancement surgery, has been treating men with failed penile implant procedures for over 15 years. So far, he has successfully removed 50 to 100 silicone penile implant devices.

Dr. Solomon’s implant removal procedure usually involves:

• Complete removal of the device, including the synthetic mesh attaching the implant to the penis
• Clearing the scar tissue from around the affected nerve to restore sensation in the head of the penis

During removal surgery, Dr. Solomon may also:

• Release the ligaments of your penis to restore penile length.
• Perform scar revision to enhance your penis’s appearance.
• Use dermal grafts, like AlloDerm™, to add some volume to the penis or improve penile shape and alignment.

Remember, penile implant removal procedures require a high level of surgical precision.

Not every surgeon has the expertise to address complications with the focused care that someone like

Dr. Solomon can offer. That’s why hundreds of men have trusted him to handle their revision surgery.

While there’s no official satisfaction rate published yet, most patients report positive, often life-changing outcomes.

You don’t have to just take our word for it.

Here’s a firsthand account that highlights the level of care, attention, and surgical skill that Dr. Solomon brings to every case:

“I am happy…I had my [silicone penile] implant removed by Dr. Solomon…I had an implant inserted…and then foolishly had it replaced with a larger one when there were edges present…

Almost immediately, I found the southwest region of the implant (close to the base of my shaft on the left-hand side) to be somewhat loose and protrude from my shaft. I’m fortunate that it didn’t break through the skin, and intercourse was not a lot of fun for my poor wife due to the implant bump.

I knew it was inevitable that this unnatural contraption needed to be removed…I opted to give Dr. Mark Solomon a try….

He was very professional and frank during his consultation and advised me that my weakened sensation on the shaft could well be permanent (not simply due to the presence of the implant).

He said that these nerves along the shaft are too small for plastic surgeons to be aware of, and when inserting a foreign object (in my case, not once but twice) into the penis, the nerves will variably retain the same degree of sensitivity…

As he explained, the scar tissue would be necessary for filling in the vacuum left from the absence of the implant, and it would be through a hanging device that I could expect to regain the expected loss of length.

The procedure itself went off without a hitch…

I was placed on a regimen of Percocet, an antibiotic, and valium (to stifle night-time erections)…The pain was minor and manageable as long as I lay elevated in bed.

The next day, I had a follow-up with the doctor, who changed the dressing and instructed me to keep the penis wrapped in order to reduce the swelling.

He told me that he removed a part of the capsule that had formed around the penis, which would have retained liquid and been problematic.

He left another part of the capsule that had formed around a nerve that he didn’t want to disturb.

I was told that this would not work out to my benefit for permanent girth (to my disappointment, of course). Several days later, I returned to have my testicular drain removed and was instructed to pull on the penis for 2 5-minute intervals each day for up to four weeks. At approximately four weeks, I could expect to begin using a hanging device…

For some reason, I feel calm about the situation, knowing that hanging will likely get me back to where I was length-wise. I’m optimistic that my hanging regime will take me beyond, hopefully over the six-inch mark.”

bostonman5555 (username) | Review from Phalloboards (an online forum for discussing male enhancement procedures)

What Is the Removal Rate for a Subcutaneous Silicone Penile Implant?

Approximately 5,000 silicone penile implants have been implanted since the penile implant was cleared by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for cosmetic use in 2004.

While this fact suggests growing adoption of the device, more recent data show a notable trend regarding subcutaneous silicone penile implants.

One study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine looked at the patient satisfaction levels of 70 men who underwent a penile implant procedure between April 2019 and February 2021—and the findings raise important questions about patient outcomes and long-term satisfaction.

The study indicated that patient response to the implant was largely positive. However, the researchers also reported that 8 out of 70 patients (about 11%) ended up needing to have the implant removed due to post-op pain, dissatisfaction, or device erosion.

Now, 11% might not sound like much at first. But when you consider that around 5,000 of the penile enhancement devices have been implanted overall, that percentage could translate to hundreds of removals.

And that’s just based on what we know.

Many of these cases may go unreported. Inconsistent follow-ups and a lack of centralized data collection can make it hard to capture the full scope of complications.

There’s hope that medical advisory panels tasked to create a registry for patient outcomes, such as the newly established Scientific Advisory Board, will help bring more clarity in the future.

But if you’re already living with regret, discomfort, or painful complications, the need for answers is immediate.

It’s important to act early. Let Dr. Solomon help you regain both physical comfort and peace of mind.

The Subcutaneous Silicone Penile Implant Removal Procedure

It takes real courage to revisit a decision that once felt right. If you’ve made it this far, you’re likely past the regret and are looking for a way to reclaim ownership of your body and your well-being.

Let’s arm you with a clear understanding of the penile implant removal procedure so you can move forward with confidence.

Here’s how Dr. Solomon and his team ensure you’re safe, comfortable, and well-cared for during your surgery:

Consultation

Each person’s case is unique. Right from the start, Dr. Solomon will ensure you receive individualized care tailored to your specific goals and needs.

During your consultation, Dr. Solomon will assess your anatomy, review your medical history, and explain the underlying cause of the complications you face.

Whether it’s an implant erosion, a device fracture, a loss of sensation, or a combination of these factors,

Dr. Solomon has seen it all. That’s why he listens to each patient’s story without judgment.

Looking for real answers to your real concerns?

Dr. Solomon takes a direct, honest approach—something many patients find refreshing after dealing with vague or confusing information from other providers.

Schedule your virtual or in-person consultation and evaluation with Dr. Solomon today to understand what removal surgery entails.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Dr. Solomon will mark the areas he will operate on and take a few photographs to plan incisions and document your baseline.
   After that, you’ll be transferred to the operating room.
2. As part of the standard surgical setup, an intravenous line (IV) will be placed into your vein. Then, with the guidance of our highly skilled anesthesiologist, you’ll be administered anesthesia.
   The anesthesia ensures you don’t feel pain or discomfort during the penile implant removal procedure.
3. During the actual surgery, Dr. Solomon will perform a total removal of the device, including the mesh.
   Some surgeons don’t bother with the material because they either can’t or think it’s too risky to remove it.
   But Dr. Solomon’s experience in treating many patients has taught him that leaving the mesh behind can lead to the formation of a hard, painful nodule.
   One of the major benefits of removing the mesh is the potential to restore sensation in the affected area of the penis.
   While mesh removal may be delicate work, Dr. Solomon’s meticulous approach and refined surgical technique enable him to do so safely.
4. Dr. Solomon will also address your scar-related issues during the surgical removal.
   As a foreign material, a subcutaneous silicone implant can elicit a body response known as a capsule.
   While a capsule is the body’s normal biological response to a foreign material, it can cause complications that may require surgical intervention.
   For instance, capsules can warp your penile shape or compress the nerve that feeds sensation to your glans (the tip of the penis).
5. If your scar tissue causes loss of sensation in the head, Dr. Solomon will also seek to release the affected nerve. He will carefully remove the scar tissue from around the nerve to relieve pressure.
6. In some cases, Dr. Solomon will perform a suspensory ligament release to re-establish penile length. This technique detaches the ligament that anchors the penis, enabling the shaft to extend outward (around one to two inches of length increase).
7. After removing a block of silicone, it’s normal for the penis to appear deflated when flaccid or curved when erect.
   That’s where Dr. Solomon’s expertise with dermal grafts—such as AlloDerm™—can make a real difference. These grafts help restore volume and improve overall symmetry.
   Dr. Solomon has extensive experience with grafting techniques for penile length and girth enhancement.
   If doing a graft at the time of explant isn’t advisable, Dr. Solomon will take a staged approach. That means removing the implant first, allowing the area to heal, and later using dermal grafts for girth enhancement once it’s safe to do so.

The technical details of the penile implant removal surgery may be hard to grasp, but don’t worry. If you need clarification, Dr. Solomon will always make time to answer your questions.

The bottom line is that Dr. Solomon’s surgical approach is precise, comprehensive, and personalized to fix the specific problems caused by the implant.

Aftercare

Dr. Solomon provides structured, attentive care that extends well beyond the operating room. For several days following surgery, he will meet with you to monitor your progress.

And even after you leave Dr. Solomon’s direct care, you’ll stay in close communication with him in person and by email.

Dr. Solomon may continue to see patients at no charge for surgery-related concerns beyond one year, reflecting his long-term commitment to their outcome and well-being.

What Is the Recovery Process Like After Penile Implant Removal?

Dr. Solomon understands that removing the device is just one part of your healing journey.

What comes after—recovery, rehab, and adjustment—is just as important as the surgery itself.

What happens after surgery? How long will it take for you to feel normal again?

Here’s what to expect in terms of healing time, aftercare instructions, and outcomes after the penile implant removal procedure:

• Recovery looks a little different for everyone, depending on your body and the details of your procedure. That said, most patients can resume work within two weeks after surgery.
  Showering is generally safe starting the day after surgery.
  However, you’ll need to hold off on activities like swimming or going to the beach until the incision is fully healed, typically around the three- to four-week mark.
• After removal surgery, Dr. Solomon will provide you with a clear, step-by-step guide on managing post-op care.
  If drainage tubes are used, he’ll show you exactly how to care for them—and they’re typically removed within just a few days.
  And here’s some good news: You won’t need to worry about getting stitches removed. Dr. Solomon uses dissolvable sutures that fade as you heal.
• If you’re traveling from out of town, you may need to stay locally for a few days after surgery. This gives Dr. Solomon the chance to monitor your wound healing and drainage and personally guide you through the first steps of your recovery.
• The removal of a silicone penile enhancement device isn’t a simple reset.
  Your body naturally forms a capsule of scar tissue around any foreign object—like a silicone implant.
  In a retractable organ like the penis, this scar can distort shape and mobility, causing the penis to curve, shorten, or stiffen in unnatural ways.
  Once the implant is removed, that same scar tissue can cause the penis to contract inward to fill the space. Some patients call this “mini-dick” or “dicklet” phase.
  Many urology specialists or surgeons will prescribe a traction device to counteract this post-op retraction. Unfortunately, not all devices are patient-friendly—some feel more like medieval torture.
  For example, Re­storeX uses clamps and rods to stretch the penis six hours each day.
  Dr. Solomon recommends a gentle rehab strategy: Using a small, easy-to-wear weighted condom that gently stretches the penis without the harsh clamping of traditional extenders.

Overall, Dr. Solomon provides a full-circle treatment and recovery plan. With him and his team, you’ll receive expert care every step of the way—from consultation and preoperative planning to post-op recovery.

Outcomes and Satisfaction After Penile Implant Removal

For men dealing with complications, corrective surgery may feel like a last-ditch effort to recover a sense of normalcy.

But in Dr. Solomon’s care, this procedure often becomes the start of real healing and transformation.

After penile implant removal surgery, Dr. Solomon guides patients through a personalized penile rehabilitation program designed to maximize healing and restore size and function.

During this stage, Dr. Solomon may:

• Recommend wearing a condom with a small metal weight at the tip for approximately six hours each day to stretch the penis gradually.
• Schedule follow-up sessions to monitor your progress.
• Perform additional procedures, such as suspensory ligament release and or dermal grafting, to extend penile length or increase penile girth.

Many men have come to our clinic feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, and unsure of what’s next.

But with Dr. Solomon’s structured treatment and recovery program, they’ve walked out feeling relieved and truly grateful for a second chance at comfort, confidence, and healing.

Take, for example, a 51-year-old man who experienced nerve-related numbness after his implant removal. Dr. Solomon removed the device and performed nerve decompression, ultimately restoring sensation over several months.

The patient called not long ago just to say thank you, sharing that Dr. Solomon’s procedure had significantly improved both his quality of life and self-confidence.

Another patient, 34, had lost length and developed curvature after a previous removal procedure done elsewhere. Dr. Solomon corrected both problems surgically, restoring sexual health and symmetry.

While respecting patient privacy, it’s worth mentioning that some of the men Dr. Solomon has treated are now sharing their stories—often anonymously on forums or in advocacy spaces—to let others know that real recovery is possible.

One patient named “Bryan,” who had a surgical removal with Dr. Solomon, was so relieved by his results that he became a paid patient advocate for Dr. Solomon, fielding calls from other men going through similar ordeals.

To support long-term outcomes, Dr. Solomon includes a penile rehabilitation program in his aftercare.

This structured post-removal protocol helps restore penile appearance, reduce scar tissue buildup, and optimize cosmetic and functional recovery.

How Many Men Have Gotten Subcutaneous Silicone Penile Implants?

About 5,000 men have received the subcutaneous silicone penile implant since it was approved for cosmetic purposes by the FDA back in 2004.

But we’re still learning about long-term outcomes. Most of the available data comes from single-surgeon case series and broader multi-center studies.

That’s beginning to change, though.

A 2024 multi-institutional study combined results from four high-volume surgeons across different centers. Together, they tracked 299 patients who had the silicone penile implant procedure between 2020 and 2022.

The analysis showed that around 7% of patients opted for their implants to be removed due to complications.

Dr. Solomon doesn’t offer cosmetic penile implants and doesn’t have an idea how many of these patients are genuinely satisfied with the device.

That said, he has treated about 100 men suffering from failed silicone implant procedures. Dr. Solomon has been correcting implant complications for more than 15 years.

If you’re seeking a trusted specialist to remove your implant or address post-op complications with the device, he is the right choice.

What Is a Subcutaneous Silicone Penile Implant?

The implant was marketed as a relatively safe way for men to boost their confidence and self-esteem.

Introduced in 2004, it was the first FDA-cleared silicone penile implant designed to increase penile girth and flaccid penis length.

In the early years, the procedure received limited attention—by 2014, there were only around 100 silicone penile implant procedures performed each year.

A noticeable surge in interest and demand for this male enhancement implant likely came after an article featured the implant.

The device underwent some updates, but the core concept remains the same: to enhance penile appearance and add support and stability.

Despite its popularity, data on long-term safety and revision outcomes remain limited.

But in Dr. Solomon’s experience, there seems to be a noticeable trend of men quietly seeking corrective surgery for failed silicone penile implant procedures.

So far, what he observes in his practice is the “numerator [the number of men who regret having penile implants due to complications], not the “denominator” [the number of men who are truly satisfied with their penile implant].

While Dr. Solomon has no idea how many men are happy with their implants, he has treated many patients whose implants eroded through the skin, fractured internally, and developed penis-distorting scar tissues.

In fact, the increasing demand for revision surgeries, like silicone penile implant removal, is a primary reason he relocated his practice from Philadelphia, where he had been practicing for over 20 years, to Beverly Hills, California.

Today, nearly half of his male enhancement practice involves corrective procedures.

If you’re dealing with issues due to your silicone penile implant, Dr. Solomon is one of the best penile revision surgeons you could have on your side.

Aside from his well-established reputation as a male enhancement surgeon, Dr. Solomon’s extensive experience in penile implant removal surgery makes him uniquely qualified to be your guide and ally in your journey to regaining your confidence.

How Does a Penile Implant Work?

To be clear, Dr. Solomon does not place implants in his surgical approach.

A subcutaneous (applied under the skin) silicone implant is designed for cosmetic enhancement of penile size. This implant is made from a soft, medical-grade silicone sleeve that can be wrapped around the penis tissue.

During the penile implant procedure, the surgeon will make an incision at the scrotal base (side of the scrotum) to keep scarring minimal. Then, the silicone device is positioned above the erectile chambers (corpus cavernosa), under the penis skin.

Surgeons who offer this male enhancement device also claim that it doesn’t interfere with fertility or urination and is typically undetectable during intimacy.

That said, it’s important to understand what subcutaneous silicone penile implants don’t do. Unlike inflatable penile prostheses used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), silicone male enhancement devices do not help with erections or address ED in any way.

Risks and Complications of Subcutaneous Silicone Penile Implant Surgery

No surgical procedure is without risk, and silicone penile implant surgery is no exception. This cosmetic procedure carries real, significant risks, many of which are underreported or not widely discussed.

If you’re considering this surgery, be aware of the following documented risks and complications:

• Surgical complications, including seroma (fluid accumulation), hematoma (localized bleeding outside of blood vessels), and prosthesis displacement
• Post-operative infection
• Noncompliance-related complications

Are There Any Side Effects?

As you may know, penile augmentation implants are not risk-free. For some men, the complications that follow lead them to pursue penile implant removal surgery.

Here are just a few of the reasons men choose to have their implants removed:

• Sensation loss in the head of the penis
• Implant erosion through the skin
• Seroma (excess fluid) formation
• Scar tissue causing distortion of the penis
• Implant migration, causing pain above the pubis and penile shortening
• Psychological distress
• Infection

Please note that penile implant removal surgery also carries risks—but often, those risks are the result of what the original implant has already done to the body.

For example, leaving a silicone penile implant in for more than a few weeks typically leads to lasting changes in how the penis looks, even after the removal of the device.

Possible side effects of removal procedures include:

• Penis shortening (penile retraction)
• Post-op swelling
• Scarring beneath the penile skin
• Curvature or deformity of the penis
• Loss of sensation in the glans

Alternatives to Subcutaneous Silicone Penile Implant

Given the risks of silicone penile implants, you might ask, “Are there safer, more effective ways to make my penis bigger?”

The short answer is yes. Dr. Solomon provides a time-tested, medically sound approach to penis enlargement surgery.

Here are some of the penile procedures he usually performs:

• Dermal Graft Surgery
  This technique doesn’t use foreign, synthetic materials to enhance your penile size.
  Instead, Dr. Solomon augments the penis circumference using a dermal graft like AlloDerm™.
  AlloDerm™ is an acellular (organic and cell-free) dermal matrix derived from donated human skin.
  AlloDerm™ can naturally integrate with your tissue over time, becoming a part of your body.
  Additionally, it helps increase penile size.
  During the procedure, Dr. Solomon will wrap the dermal graft around your penile shaft, leaving a gap at the base of the penis, so your penis can still be erect.
  Men who have had dermal grafts often report that the penis feels and looks normal, just thicker (approximately 30% greater circumference than before the surgery).
• Suspensory Ligament Release
  During this surgical procedure, Dr. Solomon cuts the suspensory ligament that attaches the penile shaft to the pubic bone.
  This ligament normally holds some of the penis inside the body.
  Cutting it can visually increase the external length by one to two inches while maintaining a natural appearance.
• Fat Removal
  This method involves removing fat that other doctors have placed. The penis does not naturally contain fat, so adding fat to it is generally not appropriate.
  That said, fat removal and injection require skill and experience, which is why it’s so important to work with a surgeon who understands the anatomy and takes a careful, precise approach—like Dr. Solomon.

In recent years, some cosmetic doctors have offered dermal filler injections to increase penile girth.

These are similar to fillers used in facial cosmetic procedures. Common fillers include hyaluronic acid gels (like Juvederm or Restylane) and, in some cases, semi-permanent fillers like PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) microspheres or silicone oil.

Dr. Solomon does not recommend using fillers of any kind (even temporary ones). Materials such as PMMA and silicone do not dissolve over time, and as long as they remain in the body, inflammatory or adverse reactions can persist.

For instance, permanent fillers (including silicone injections or PMMA) have a track record of significant complications, such as severe granuloma formation.

A granuloma is a cluster of white blood cells that form around a foreign object, like injectable fillers.

Fortunately, Dr. Solomon has extensive experience correcting complications from injectable fillers, including liquid silicone.

“I had cosmetic filler removed from my penis. [Most] plastic surgeons and urologists said [this] couldn’t be done with good cosmetic results. I found Dr. Solomon and messaged him regarding my situation.

He called me personally that same day, and I had a consultation set up within a couple of weeks.

He was knowledgeable about the product I had injected and confident he could remove most of it and still give me a perfect-looking penis. I had the surgery done in LA about four months after my consultation, and so far, I am very pleased with the results.

Dr. Solomon even personally drove me to my hotel after surgery. He checked up on me in person the following two days before giving me the ok to travel home. I thought he and all his staff were extremely caring and kind.

I read comments saying people perceived him as rude, and in my experience, he was the opposite.

He’s very “as a matter of fact,” but I appreciate that when it comes to big decisions such as plastic surgery. I highly recommend him.”

Patient review from RateMDs

Every procedure has its pros and cons. But if you’re looking for a real, noticeable increase in size—not just a millimeter here or there, but centimeters you can actually see and feel—surgery is the only option that can truly deliver those results.

That’s why Dr. Solomon focuses on dermal grafts and suspensory ligament release.

These advanced techniques either physically add soft tissue or free more of the internal shaft, giving you visible, permanent, and natural-looking results.

If you’re ready for real, lasting change, it’s time to talk to Dr. Solomon. He is one of the few surgeons trusted to perform advanced enlargement procedures with skill, expertise, professionalism, and compassion.

Do Natural Approaches for Increasing Penile Girth Work?

Before we dive in, here’s something worth thinking about: Penis size matters more to men than women.

A large-scale survey of more than 50,000 heterosexual men and women showed that 55% of men aren’t satisfied with their penis size—even though 85% of women reported being perfectly happy with their partner’s size.

This fact suggests that the real pressure to be “bigger” often comes from within.

This quiet, deeply personal insecurity might explain why so many buy into the hype around penis enlargement products promising natural results—pills, pumps, creams, and other gimmicks.

Penile enhancement surgery may sound risky to some men, especially since it involves operating on a sensitive and delicate organ, such as the penis.

It’s no wonder that they might opt for “natural” (nonsurgical) methods for penis enlargement.

Unfortunately, natural approaches for increasing penile girth don’t have conclusive scientific support.

Pills, topical solutions, and exercises offer little to no lasting impact on penile girth.

What’s even worse is that some of these marketed products and techniques may cause permanent damage to your penis.

The bottom line is that there’s no magical, easy way to increase penile girth naturally.

That said, here’s a brief overview of common nonsurgical approaches and what they claim to achieve:

• Pills and Supplements
  Male enhancement supplements—often packed with herbs or vitamins—are widely marketed as solutions for increasing penis size.
  Despite bold marketing, the facts are clear: There’s no scientific evidence that supplements, such as vitamin D or vitamin K, can increase penile length or girth.
  Sure, those vitamins are great for your bones and heart, but they won’t do anything for your penis. Any claim that says otherwise isn’t backed by science.
• Creams, Oils, and Topical Products
  Dr. Solomon has been in this field for over 30 years—and in that time, he’s seen almost every gimmick imaginable—lotions, pumps, pills, and more.
  These products are often marketed as miracle solutions for increasing penis size. Unfortunately, the reality is that none of them provides real, lasting results.
  If you want meaningful, transformative change, penile enhancement surgery remains the only proven option.
• Manual Exercises
  Some people believe that physical routines—like stretching exercises—can make the penis bigger.
  Take jelqing, for example. It’s a technique that involves repeatedly massaging or ‘milking’ the semi-erect penis from the base to the tip without reaching ejaculation.
  But here’s the truth: There’s no scientific evidence that jelqing—or any similar stretching exercise—can actually increase penis size in a lasting or meaningful way.
  That said, if you feel like your penis looks smaller, it might not be a size issue at all. In some cases, the real problem is a buried penis—where excess fat in the pubic region conceals part of the shaft.
  Dr. Solomon can treat this condition with procedures like liposuction or a pubic lift to remove the fat and reveal more of your natural length—without gimmicks or false promises.

As of now, there’s no safe, proven, or truly effective way to significantly increase penis size without surgery.

Some men report small confidence boosts or minor physical changes, but claims of major gains from nonsurgical methods are not supported by evidence.

If you’re considering any form of penile cosmetic surgery or reconstructive procedure, speak with a qualified surgeon like Dr. Solomon.

Subcutaneous Penile Implant Removal Summary
