Urology deals with urogenital disorders, which encompass diseases affecting the urinary and reproductive systems. The urology department provides services in subfields such as andrology, pediatric urology, neurourology, female urology, uro-oncology, and endourology.

One of the areas urology focuses on is male genital aesthetics, which has seen significant advancements in recent years, offering solutions for many individuals’ aesthetic and sexual function issues. Treatments in male genital aesthetics address problems such as penile deformities, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction, providing appropriate therapies that contribute to improving both sexual health and overall quality of life.

Urology is a medical field that deals with the urinary system and urinary tract of children, men, and women of all ages. The urology department provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions, including diseases of the kidneys, bladder, male reproductive organs, infections, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. Urologists, who are specialists in the field of urology, not only treat various diseases but also offer services in male genital aesthetics.

Penile aesthetics refers to treatments aimed at addressing issues such as penile thinning, small size, and curvature, which may be congenital or develop later in life. These procedures, also known as penile plasty, not only improve the aesthetic appearance of the penis but also positively impact an individual’s psychological well-being. With changes made to the penis, a person’s sexual life becomes more active, and self-confidence increases. Penile aesthetics procedures are comfortable and easy treatments performed by urologists.

How is Penile Aesthetics Performed?

Penile aesthetics are performed on individuals who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their penis or experience difficulties in their sexual life due to penile deformities. The most commonly performed penile aesthetic procedures are as follows:

• Penis Enlargement Surgery: If the penis measures less than 12-16 cm during erection, it is considered short. Although the size of the penis does not necessarily affect sexual performance, having an ideal penis length is a desire for all men. In penis enlargement surgery, the ligament between the penis and the pelvic bone is shortened, resulting in an extension of 2-4 cm. The surgery, performed under general anesthesia, is completed in approximately 1 hour.
• Penis Thickening Surgery: Men with a penile thickness of less than 4 cm can achieve the ideal thickness with penis thickening surgery. Penis thickening is performed using methods such as fat injection, fillers, silicone implants, and tissue transfer. Fat injections and filler applications are performed with a syringe, while implants and tissue transfers require surgery. Achieving the ideal penis thickness helps men feel more masculine and aesthetically confident.
• Penile Prosthesis: This surgical procedure is performed to address erectile dysfunction, penile thinning, and penile curvature. Depending on the individual’s needs, a one-piece, two-piece, or three-piece prosthesis is selected for the procedure. Penile prostheses are easy to use, lifelong devices that enable an active sexual life.
• Peyronie’s Disease Treatment: Also known as penile curvature, Peyronie’s disease occurs when the penis cannot remain straight during an erection, either congenitally or acquired later. Depending on the stage of the disease, various treatment methods (medication, injection, shockwave therapy, plication surgery, grafting surgery, or penile prosthesis surgery) are applied. Penile curvature is a condition that can be permanently treated, allowing for a healthy sexual life post-treatment.
