How to Get a Bigger Penis: Methods That Actually Work

Medically reviewed by Dr. Elliot Heller, MD – Board-Certified Surgeon | 25+ Years Experience | Last Updated: March 2026

Only Medical Procedures Actually Work

Dermal fillers, fat transfer, P-Shot, and surgical options. Pills, pumps, and exercises do not produce permanent results.

The only proven ways to get a bigger penis are medical procedures performed by a qualified physician, including dermal filler injections for girth, fat transfer, P-Shot, and surgical options. Pills, supplements, pumps, and exercises do not produce permanent size increases despite widespread marketing claims. At Allure Plastic Surgery in NYC, Dr. Elliot Heller offers both surgical and non-surgical enhancement options, with non-surgical procedures taking just 20 minutes and adding 1 to 2 inches in girth with no downtime.

“Both surgical and non-surgical options are available. Any male in reasonable health is a good candidate for both surgical and non-surgical penile enlargement.”

Why Most Penis Enlargement Methods Do Not Work

Before exploring what actually works, it is important to understand why most advertised methods fail. The penis is not a muscle. You cannot “build” it through exercise, supplements, or devices. The penis is composed of spongy erectile tissue, blood vessels, and connective tissue that does not respond to pills or pumps.

Methods That Do NOT Work

Pills and supplements: No pill has ever been proven to increase penis size. The FDA has not approved any oral medication for penis enlargement.

Penis pumps: Cause temporary engorgement only. Long-term use can damage erectile tissue.

Jelqing and exercises: No scientific evidence. Can cause injury, scarring, or permanent erectile dysfunction.

Creams and oils: Cannot penetrate deep enough to cause structural changes.

Weights and stretchers: Not proven effective and can cause serious injury.

If you have tried these methods without results, you are not alone. The only way to permanently increase penis size is through medical procedures that physically add tissue or volume.

What Actually Works for Penis Enlargement

For Girth Enhancement

Dermal filler injections (hyaluronic acid)

Fat transfer injections

P-Shot (PRP therapy)

Silicone implants (surgical)

For Length Enhancement

Pubic liposuction (reveals hidden length)

Suspensory ligament release (surgical)

Combination procedures for both

Dermal Filler Injections: The Most Popular Method

Dermal filler injections are the most requested penis enlargement procedure at Allure Plastic Surgery. They use hyaluronic acid, the same FDA-approved filler used safely in facial aesthetics for decades.

Dermal Fillers at a Glance

Results: 1-2 inches increase in circumference, immediate

Procedure time: 20 minutes with local numbing

Recovery: No downtime. Return to work same day. Avoid sex for one week.

Duration: 12-24 months, can become permanent with maintenance

Starting cost: $850

Fat Transfer: Natural, Permanent Enhancement

Fat transfer uses your own body fat to increase penile girth. Fat is harvested from your abdomen, waist, or thighs through gentle liposuction, processed, and injected into the penile shaft.

Fat Transfer at a Glance

Results: 1-2 inches increase in circumference, permanent

Procedure time: 1-2 hours

Recovery: 1-2 days. Avoid sex for approximately 3 weeks.

Bonus: Slims the donor area (abdomen/flanks)

Starting cost: $3,500-$6,000

P-Shot: Size Plus Improved Function

The P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate tissue growth and improve erectile function.

P-Shot at a Glance

Results: 0.5-1 inch girth increase + improved erection quality and sensitivity

Procedure time: 30-45 minutes

Recovery: Minimal downtime

Duration: 12-18 months, results develop over 2-3 months

Starting cost: $1,500-$2,500

“We successfully treat erectile dysfunction using platelet-rich plasma at our clinic,” confirms Dr. Heller.

Pubic Liposuction: Reveal Hidden Length

Many men have length hidden beneath fat in the pubic area. Pubic liposuction removes this fat, revealing 1 to 2 inches of the penis that was always there. This is often combined with girth enhancement for comprehensive results.

Surgical Options for Penis Enlargement

For men seeking maximum or permanent results, surgical options are available including suspensory ligament release for increased visible flaccid length and silicone implants for permanent girth enhancement. Dr. Heller offers surgical options for appropriate candidates, though most men achieve excellent results with non-surgical methods.
