Abstract
Since antiquity, doctors and surgeons have made countless attempts to modify the shape and size of the penis, but the first scientifically validated technique to correct curved penis was defined only in 1965. In the following years the evolution of the surgery of the cavernous bodies has become remarkable, expanding to include different new techniques related to the correction of both the shape and size (especially in the most recent years) of the cavernous bodies. In this chapter we analyze the most successful techniques related to penis and testicular aesthetics. With regard to cavernous bodies surgery, we must point out that when pursuing an aesthetic result, the postoperative outcome needs to preserve the function. This concept must be stressed not only because of its semantic aspect but also because of its legal importance.
