How to Get a Bigger Penis: What Works, What Doesn’t

The number of men who worry about having too small a penis is quite large.

This may come as no surprise, given some of the common myths about male genitalia that circulate in our culture. We’ve all heard them – sexual partners prefer a larger penis; a penis shorter than 6 inches is small; a bigger penis makes you more of a man.

Ideas like these create misconceptions for men about what constitutes a “normal” penis. For instance, most men estimate that the average penis length is around 6 inches, when in reality the number is closer to 5.1 inches when erect.

Moreover, one study indicates that while 45% of men in heterosexual relationships feel insecure about their penis size, 85% of women report being happy with their partner’s anatomy.

So, chances are, your penis size is perfectly fine. Still, you may be curious about how to increase the size of your penis.

Who Should Get Penis Enlargement Surgery?

According to the scientific community, only men with a flaccid penis length of less than 2 inches or an erect penis length of less than 3 inches should qualify as candidates for augmenting penis size. Expressed as a percentage, that’s about 2.5% of men.

However, if you don’t fit those metrics but still feel insecure about your penis size, you should consult with a trusted physician about options.

What are those options?

From natural methods, to risky injections, to surgery, the routes for making your penis bigger are numerous, yet they vary in safety and effectiveness. In the rest of this blog, we’ll outline these methods to help you better determine the best course of action for increasing penis size.

How to Make Your Penis Bigger: Non-Surgical Methods

For those wary of an operation, there are a few non-surgical methods available you can try instead. These methods don’t necessarily increase penis size but rather help with the appearance of a larger penis.

Lose Weight

In some individuals, fat around the pubic bone area can protrude and hide the base of the penis shaft. Losing weight, therefore, can reduce this effect caused by fat buildup, in addition to boosting your sexual confidence.

Because size is relative, a smaller suprapubic area can lead to the appearance of a larger penis.

Shaving the Pubic Area

Similar to losing weight around the pelvic bone region, shaving or trimming your pubic hair will uncover more of the base of your shaft, thus giving it a lengthier appearance.

Penis Sleeve

A penis sleeve is a silicone casing that slides over the shaft – much like a condom – to provide added girth and length; essentially, it functions as a hollowed-out dildo into which the penis will fit.

Stretching, or “Jelqing”

Penile stretching, or jelqing, refers to the process of forming an “O” shape around the base of the penis with the index finger and thumb and subsequently pulling upward along the shaft, thus bringing blood to the head of the penis.

Jelqing may not sound medically verified, and that’s because it is not. Most experts consider the practice ineffective and possibly harmful to the structure of the penis.

Penis Extender

Penis extenders are devices that work to stretch penile tissues to extend the length of the penis. The user must wear the device underneath their clothes for several hours for the course of several months.

However, researchers have found conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of these devices, with most acknowledging a risk of blood clotting and vein tearing. Added with the discomfort of wearing them, penis extenders likely won’t offer the best solution for a larger penis.

How to Increase Girth Size Fast: Injection Types

If you’re wondering how to make your penis bigger, another possible route is penile injections. Injections are generally unsafe and ineffective for penis enlargement. We’ll now look at a couple different types.

Fat Injections

In the case of fat injections for penis enlargement, surgeons will liposuction a patient’s own fat and transfer it into the shaft of the penis using a syringe.

The procedure can temporarily increase girth size fast, but those gains are short-lived and risky. The body absorbs the fat tissue over time, causing lumps, deformities, and permanent skin damage.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

As indicated by its name, platelet-rich plasma injections involve separating platelet-rich plasma and injecting it into the penis, which supposedly stimulates blood flow and increases penis girth.

That said, these injections mainly assist with improving circulation, and the practice is still novel and limited. Like other injections, any possible gains are short-term only.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances commonly used in plastic surgery procedures in the facial region. However, doctors can also inject them into the penis to temporarily increase size.

Like the other injection procedures, dermal fillers do not last permanently. Depending on sexual activity (with more activity decreasing longevity of the fillers), recipients of these injections will enjoy the results for no more than a year.

Dermal fillers may also cause bruising, swelling, or deformation of the penis – all notable side effects.

How to Get a Bigger Penis: Surgical Options

In recent decades, some surgical methods have been developed to lengthen penis size and increase penis girth.

Suspensory Ligament Division

Some surgeons will attempt to lengthen penis size by cutting the suspensory ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone. This allows it to “hang out” further and appear longer.

Naturally, though, rupturing a ligament comes with several medical hazards, such as painful erections or loss of sensation/function.

Unfortunately, suspensory ligament operations do not increase length or girth and can permanently damage penile appearance and function.

Himplant penis enlargement implant

Himplant™, the evolved successor to Penuma® Penile Implant

Penuma was the first FDA-cleared penile implant for cosmetic male enhancement.

During the 60-minute implantation operation, the implant – a silicone sleeve – is inserted along the shaft of the penis from the base, resulting in an average of 1 to 2 inches of increased in erect and flaccid girth, with flaccid length increases also typically reported.

Granted, the Himplant procedure is one of the costlier approaches listed. However, over 80% of Penuma recipients report “high” to “very high” levels of satisfaction even two years after the operation, suggesting that the majority of patients find the results well-worth the cost.

Please note that individual results may vary. The potential complications, risks, benefits, and alternatives, including no surgery, will be discussed with you at length before proceeding with any procedure.

Conclusion: How to Get a Thicker Penis

Anxiety about penis size is an unfortunate yet common experience for males in modern society. Practically every man has wondered about how to get a bigger penis or how to get a thicker penis. But as mentioned above, these worries are mostly unfounded.

For those who determine that penis enhancement is right for them, exercising caution when choosing an enlargement option is crucial. Out of the non-surgical, non-injection methods listed above, losing weight, shaving the pubic region, and using a penis sleeve represent the safest alternatives.

When it comes to more involved penis enhancement operations, like injections or surgery, the Himplant offers a highly-rated FDA-cleared solution for increasing girth size.
