Abstract

The psychological benefit of penile enhancement to the patient is tremendous. Though, this is not really a treatment for impotence, patients have reported improvement in sex and intercourse after Gore-Tex implants and fat. The procedure is described as well as potential complications. Fat subcutaneously takes up blood supply and neo-vascularization takes place. Circulation in the organ is improved, and this also helps in erection of the organ. Gore-Tex, Silk, and lipo-Gore-Tex in the penis have remained stable, providing long lasting results with a high degree of patient satisfaction. The visible and psychological benefits outweigh minor problems of the implants.
