When Thickening Surgery Is Considered

Main reasons why men seek penile girth enlargement.

Insufficient Girth

When the main concern is increasing girth and the patient considers penile thickness insufficient.

Reduced Self-Confidence

A small penis can be a cause of low self-esteem and sexual dissatisfaction.

Desire for More Pronounced Volume

When the patient wants to make the penis visually and tactilely more voluminous.

Why girth matters to some patients

According to a survey of 2,865 women aged 18–48 conducted in 2021, 83% of participants rated partner penile girth as more important, and 17% rated length.

Surgical Principle and Implant

Currently, the main methods for penile thickening are subcutaneous injections of hyaluronic acid or polylactic acid. However, these techniques have unpredictable and short-lasting results due to resorption of the introduced graft, accompanied by an unaesthetic effect.

In Professor Kurbatov's opinion, the optimal technology for penile thickening is surgery to place a synthetic implant made of soft medical silicone under the skin of the organ. This approach allows predictable girth increase while maintaining the natural appearance of the organ. This technique is already widely used abroad and is gradually being implemented in Russia.

Domestic Implant

Professor Kurbatov and his colleagues developed a domestic implant made of medical-grade silicone, which has passed all toxicological tests and holds a certificate of conformity.

Implant thickness — 6–7 mm.

Patent for invention No. 2867925 “Method of penis thickening”, registered on 11 August 2026 (priority date 14 October 2025).

How the Surgery Is Performed

The implant is placed under the penile skin along the cavernous bodies through a circumferential skin incision around the glans. After skin mobilization, the implant is fixed and modeled according to the shape and size of the organ, then the skin is returned to its position and the incision edges are sutured.

What to Consider

For the best aesthetic result, circumcision is recommended. Average surgery duration is about 1 hour, hospital stay — 1 day.

Published in the Scientific Literature

The results of the first surgical series were presented at the Congress of the Eurasian Association of Urologists (Moscow, May 2026): 10 surgeries, girth gain of 3.2–5 cm, follow-up of up to 12 months with no recorded complications — no implant displacement, infection, or impairment of erection and sensitivity.

About the publication and the study figures

Method Advantages

The silicone implant technique has several clinical advantages over traditional thickening methods.

The expected result of the increase

The operation is aimed at a predictable increase in the thickness of the penis.

Natural appearance

After the operation, the natural appearance of the organ and tactile sensations are preserved.

Increase at rest

Both the girth and length of the penis at rest increase.

Does not affect erection and sensitivity

The installation of the implant does not impair erectile function and does not reduce the sensitivity of the penis.

Permanent saving of the result

The achieved result is maintained permanently.

Low trauma

The operation is characterized by low trauma and minimal risk of complications.

The implant can be removed

If necessary, the implant can be removed under local anesthesia without any consequences for the organ.

Can be combined with extensions

The technique can be combined with ligamentotomy for additional penis lengthening.

Functional improvement

The rigidity of the penis increases and the duration of sexual intercourse increases.

    Patient, 38 years old

    Exactly one year ago I had surgery with Professor Dmitry Gennadievich Kurbatov at the Maka-Med clinic. A new thickening silicone plate was placed.

    I am extremely satisfied with the result of this surgery.

    Before the operation the penile circumference was 12 cm, after — 17. The enlargement result is impressive. Moreover, the implant looks very natural and is not noticeable — the surgery was performed with high quality, excellent work.

    An additional positive effect is an increase in penile "firmness" during erection — which is a great plus for sexual intercourse.

    The best procedure currently available for improving male dignity.

    Highly recommend.

    Robert, 43 years old

    A year ago I had a thickening surgery with Dmitry Gennadievich. I am more than satisfied with the result. I could not have dreamed of such volume. Especially considering that in terms of functionality, volume is what matters most. It is not an exaggeration to say that life has taken on new colours.

    The surgery is easy. No pain afterwards. I had the surgery late in the evening, and by morning I was already driving home.

    Highly recommend.
