Things Take Unfortunate Turn After Doctors Cut Into Man’s Penis For Enlargement Surgery
Does size really matter? According to reports, a healthy 30-year-old man in Sweden died while undergoing penis enlargement surgery.
In an attempt to extend the length of his penis, a man cut his life short. The fatal operation was performed at a private plastic surgery clinic in Stockholm, Sweden.
“This is the first described case where a seemingly simple and safe procedure of penis enlargement by autologous fat transfer caused sudden death in a healthy young man,” the Journal of Forensic Sciences reported.
The 30-year-old patient, whose only known medical condition was mild asthma, went under the knife to have his penis both elongated and enlarged with fat cells taken from his stomach. After completing the elongation, doctors began work on the enlargement, which involves an injection of two fluid ounces of fat cells into the penis.
An autopsy showed that the man had no heart defects and was generally healthy. His death was reportedly caused by a pulmonary fat embolism.
“Fat embolism following penile girth enhancement has to our knowledge never been reported before,” the Journal of Forensic Sciences study stated. “The method of filling the penis shaft with autologous fat makes it possible to enlarge the erectile tissues of the penis with longlasting effects.”
“Penile elongation and enlargement is considered to be a simple and safe procedure and is becoming more in demand every day,” it added. “The only complications mentioned are loss of the injected fat tissue and local infection.”
However, some medical experts strongly oppose the procedure.
“It’s a completely useless procedure that never works and disfigures men, and could kill you,” urologist Tobias Kohler of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told BuzzFeed News. “This is the worst case, but there are lots of other horrible consequences, from disfigurement to permanent erectile dysfunction to even worse.”
“If you end up with something that nobody recognizes as a penis, that is what we call sub-optimal,” he added.
Moreover, a 2017 study done by Translational Andrology and Urology found that “the majority of men seeking penile elongation treatment have a normal penile size, which is functionally adequate for sexual activity and [urination].”
“Men complaining of small penis, despite the adequate length, typically suffer from either penile dysmorphophobia disorder (PDD) or small penis anxiety (SPA),” the study went on to state. “In both of these disorders, men consistently underestimate the size of their own penis and overestimate the mean size for other men.”

I think the NUMBER ONE PROBLEM which needs to addressed is circumcision. Nothing destroys a future of happy sex like the removal of a person’s erogenous tissue from their genitalia. Circumcision, both male and female is INTENDED to eliminate pleasure. This is unquestionable. Even in the earliest writings the purpose of circumcision was to reduce sexual activity. Today, human skin from infant circumcision is a valuable commodity. Foreskin cannot be legally sold however the workaround comes in the form of an “acquisition fee” payable to the hospital that harvested the skin. It is business that generates over TWO BILLION US DOLLARS each and every year. There is NO benefit from routine neonatal circumcision. NONE.
