Penile Augmentation

Abstract

The need for safe, effective, and less invasive procedures is increasing in recent years through all fields of modern medicine. This trend is evident especially in aesthetic medicine including soft tissue augmentation. As aesthetic procedures are almost always performed by the patient’s needs, consideration on the ratio of benefits to risks is very important and leads patient and physician to prefer the nonsurgical treatment. Furthermore, different kinds of nonsurgical procedures have been introduced in the past decade. According to the data from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), nonsurgical procedures increased 521 % from 1997 to 2013, whereas surgical procedures only increased 89 % during the same period in the United States.
