Who This Guide Is For

International patients considering penis enlargement in Korea who want clear, practical information—English-friendly clinics, procedure options, candidacy, recovery timelines, and how to plan your trip to Seoul.

Why Korea for Penis Enlargement

• High-volume urology centers with subspecialized surgeons
• Streamlined pathways for foreigners (English support, medical translation, receipts for tax refunds where eligible)
• Modern anesthesia and sterile OR standards with structured aftercare
• Transparent planning and predictable recovery schedules for travelers

Treatment Options (Overview)

• Girth Enhancement (Autologous fat transfer, dermal fillers, or biostimulatory fillers—clinic-dependent)
• Lengthening Surgery (Suspensory ligament release; aesthetic lengthening at rest)
• Penile Implants (Inflatable or malleable) for erectile dysfunction with size/rigidity restoration
  Your exact plan depends on goals, anatomy, and medical history. Many patients combine options (e.g., lengthening + girth enhancement) after a safety evaluation.

Girth Enhancement

• Methods: Fat transfer (uses your own fat), hyaluronic-acid or other FDA/CE-approved fillers used off-label, or collagen biostimulators (varies by clinic)
• Pros: Immediate circumference improvement; adjustable to preference
• Consider: Touch-ups, contour uniformity, resorption with fat over time, and potential nodules with some fillers
• Downtime: Typically a few days of reduced activity; abstain from sexual activity per surgeon guidance

Lengthening Surgery

• Method: Partial release of the suspensory ligament to increase apparent flaccid length (erect length changes vary by patient)
• Pros: Visible change at rest; can be combined with other procedures
• Consider: Meticulous post-op traction protocol if recommended; realistic expectations for erect length; scar placement and healing
• Downtime: Desk work in ~1 week for many patients; activity restrictions for several weeks

Penile Implants (for ED + Size/Rigidity)

• Types: Three-piece inflatable (natural-feeling rigidity/deflation), two-piece inflatable, or malleable rod
• Pros: High satisfaction for ED; reliable rigidity and function
• Consider: Device selection, longevity, infection precautions, revision likelihood over a lifetime
• Downtime: Light activity in 1–2 weeks; device cycling and sexual activity per surgeon’s timeline

Am I a Good Candidate?

• Stable health, non-smoker (or willing to pause nicotine), and realistic goals
• For implants: Diagnosed ED not responding to medications or contraindicated
• For girth/lengthening: Understand benefits, limitations, and potential touch-ups

Safety, Risks & How Clinics Mitigate Them

• Pre-op screening (labs, medical history, medication review)
• Sterile OR, appropriate anesthesia, and prophylactic antibiotics where indicated
• Clear post-op instructions: hygiene, swelling control, traction (if advised), device cycling (implants), and sexual activity timeline
• Risks: Bruising/swelling, asymmetry/contour irregularity, infection, altered sensation, scarring, device issues (for implants). Choose board-certified urologists and follow aftercare closely.

What to Expect: Timeline for Travelers

• Week 0–1 (Online): Photo review, video consult, medical questionnaire, medication list
• Arrival Day 1–2: In-person exam, consent, pre-op tests, finalize plan and pricing
• Surgery: Same week scheduling is common; procedure length varies by method
• 3–7 Days Post-Op: Early check, dressing change, pain and swelling managed, gentle walking
• 2–6 Weeks: Activity restrictions; device cycling (implants) or traction (lengthening) if directed
• 4–12 Weeks: Gradual return to normal activities and sexual function per surgeon clearance

Cost & What’s Included (Varies by Clinic)

• Factors: Technique (fat vs filler vs implant), single vs combined procedures, OR/anesthesia time, garments/devices, follow-ups, and translation support
• Ask for an all-inclusive quote: surgeon’s fee, facility/anesthesia, medications, post-op visits, optional airport pickup/hotel help, and after-hours contact

English-Friendly Support You Can Expect

• Dedicated coordinators for scheduling and translation
• Written aftercare in English (traction/garment/device instructions)
• Tele-follow-ups via chat/video after you fly home

How to Choose a Clinic in Seoul

1. Subspecialty match: ED + sizing concerns → implant-focused urologist; cosmetic goals → girth/lengthening specialist
2. Before/after cases that match your anatomy and goals
3. Clear communication on realistic outcomes and touch-up policies
4. Transparent, itemized quotes and clear revision policies
5. Comfort with the surgeon’s plan, traction strategy (if any), and infection-prevention steps

Pre-Consultation Checklist (Copy & Paste)

• Goals: “Subtle/noticeable girth,” “resting length focus,” “implant for ED + rigidity”
• Medical history, prior surgeries, allergies, medications/supplements
• Photos (front/side) + any device preference (inflatable vs malleable)
• Travel dates and request for a “fit-to-fly” letter
• Ask for: all-inclusive quote, recovery timeline, traction/device instructions, emergency contact

Travel Tips in Seoul

• Stay near your clinic for the first week; elevator access is a plus
• Pack loose, front-opening clothing and consider extra undergarments for dressings
• Arrange airport pickup or a friend for 24–48 hours post-op
• Plan light sightseeing only; prioritize rest and walking intervals

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I combine lengthening and girth procedures?
A: Often yes, depending on your anatomy and safety limits; your surgeon will advise on staging vs same-day.

Q: Will lengthening increase erect length?
A: Changes are most noticeable at rest; erect length gains vary and should be discussed case-by-case.

Q: How long do girth results last?
A: Fat may partially resorb and sometimes needs touch-ups; fillers have product-specific durability; implants address rigidity rather than girth alone.

Q: Is English support guaranteed?
A: Most international-patient clinics in Seoul offer English-speaking coordinators. Confirm availability for your dates.
