Penis jealousy can be fatal.
Many men will go to great lengths to increase the size of their private parts – and some suffer lifelong pain and regret.
In the best case, the procedures can increase the thickness and flaccid length of the penis; At worst, they can disfigure, and in rare cases, even kill.
Two men, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Post about the failed penis-enlargement surgery that ruined their lives.
For John, 42, of Austin, Texas, the desire to enlarge his penis began about six years ago.
John, a music producer for the TV show, said, “I’m 6-5 and was really athletic and muscular, but I didn’t really have the other half to match the sheer size of my body.”
While neither woman indicated that she was “disappointed” with him in the sack, he was self-conscious about the size of his penis: 4.5 inches long when flaccid, and 6.25 inches long when erect.
His discomfort was despite the fact that his size was above average: 3.5 inches flaccid and 5.1 inches erect, according to medical news today,
In the first year after a $12,000 silicone penile implant, John was happy. The women he slept with, he said, responded with “wow” or “oh my god” – making him feel “like a million dollars.”
But the implant came apart – it would “move around a little bit.”
He replaced the penile prosthesis in 2018, and lost some length and gained a “very pronounced pubic mound”. The implant then twisted on itself and his penis became deformed. Nevertheless, he proposed to his then-girlfriend in 2019.
Due to a third surgery with a different doctor to repair his penis in 2022, John’s penis is deformed by 3 inches.
Sex became painful and took an emotional toll on the relationship. The day after his fiancée went out, one edge of the implant penetrated her skin.
He went under the knife again, this time to remove the implant. Horrifyingly, he lost his penis completely.
“It went completely inside my body,” John said. “The only thing I could see was the tip of the head of my penis. Basically I have a vagina now.
John is scheduled to have corrective surgery in December that includes a penile shaft implant and skin grafts. He is considering filing a malpractice suit.
He said, “It’s kind of ironic” that he now wishes he had his original penis, which was the source of his “biggest insecurity”.
“It’s like, ‘Can I get it back to what I had before all this started?’ In fact, I would never do that.”
Sean, who is in his 30s and is from North Florida, wanted to gain more sensation in his penis after years of surgery that left his genitals numb for nearly two decades. Additionally, he had some concern about a small penis, although he claimed to have a tallywacker that was 3.8 inches long when flaccid and 6 inches long when erect.
In 2022, she received an injection of what she was told was a collagen-producing agent, but it ultimately turned out to be silicone. As a result, his penis became deformed.
She has had to undergo some procedures to correct this and has now been injected with enough silicone to fill the breast implants.
“Sometimes it almost looks like an hourglass,” Shawn said. “It sounds really ridiculous.”
Then things took a dangerous turn.
Sean was diagnosed with a life-threatening bacterial infection in November and 50% to 60% of the skin around his penis was “completely dead,” he said. An abscess formed the following month, leading to multiple ER visits and several rounds of antibiotics.
Today Shawn is recovering after penis-saving surgery, which involved a penis-shaft implant and skin grafts.
“My happiness has kind of been taken away,” Shawn said.
more than this 8,000 According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, men around the world undergo penis-enlargement procedures every year.
Dr. Kenneth Carney, an Atlanta urologic and cosmetic surgeon who is treating both John and Sean, said he performs about 300 penis enlargements per year. About 30% to 40% of them are to correct the mistakes of other doctors.
“I think the main reason these bad cosmetic urology procedures occur is that they are performed by general practitioners or dermatologists, not urologists or cosmetic surgeons,” Carney said.
In 2017, a “healthy” young Swedish man dead According to the Journal of Forensic Sciences, during penis enlargement surgery, when fat was injected into the penis shaft.
Dr. David Schaefer, a New York City plastic surgeon who enlarges the penis with fillers that contain “an antidote to ‘melt’ the product when needed,” said he has performed more than 7,000 thickness enlargement surgeries over the past seven years. Have done many procedures, most of which are without any pressure. Obstacles.
When done properly, penis enlargement surgery can work, Schaefer said.
“Men thinking about the procedure should do their homework and make sure they are being treated by a board-certified doctor with extensive experience in plastic surgery and injectable treatments,” he advised.
