Should you get the Penuma procedure for penile augmentation? The Penuma is a unique FDA-approved silicone implant designed for penile augmentation, offering enhanced penile girth and flaccid length. Invented over two decades ago, it has seen over 5,000 procedures in the US alone by 2022, and is known for its high satisfaction rates among users. Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a board-certified urologist and sexologist from Göttingen, delves into the specifics of the Penuma implant in this informative video on UroChannel. Penuma stands out as the only FDA-approved silicone implant for penile enhancement in the US, setting it apart from other unapproved and potentially unsatisfactory methods used internationally. Dr. Buntrock emphasizes realistic expectations, noting an average girth increase of 1.3 inches and a flaccid length increase of 1.5 inches with the Penuma. He compares these results with less risky and cheaper penile enlargement methods, highlighting the Penuma procedure's hefty cost of $16,000 to $18,000. The implant, resembling a cigarette tube but not fully circumferential to avoid urethral compression, was initially inserted via an incision above the penis base. However, a newer "concealed technique" involves insertion through the scrotum, offering less visible scarring. Patient satisfaction is notably high, with studies showing over 80% satisfaction in appearance and a significant increase in self-confidence post-procedure. Yet, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks. Dr. Buntrock discusses potential complications like infections, implant migration, breakage, and the possibility of needing implant removal, leading to undesirable consequences like penile shortening and bending. Suitability is crucial, with circumcised men being the primary candidates. Smokers, those with previous penile enhancements, diabetes, or body dysmorphic disorders, are generally not suitable candidates. Concluding, Dr. Buntrock stresses the gravity of penile enlargement decisions and the importance of respecting medical advice. He warns against the irreversible nature of such procedures and the potential pitfalls of pursuing them without adequate consideration or expert guidance.
