American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons

How To Alter Penis Size
From The American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons (AAPS)

AAPS Credentials & Indications

Once a year, the Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons holds their annual meeting to discuss new advances and methods in surgical penis enlargement. The AAPS, a group of the most highly trained, experienced experts on all aspects of penis physiology, delves into such topics of implants, surgical techniques, methods, and even the very issue of Phalloplasty still being considered an “experimental” technique by many surgeons – even after decades of application. Needless to say, much of this label is, as a result of years of social debate over acceptance. Many liken it to the argument over female breast augmentation forty years ago.

Today, the majority of Phalloplasty procedures, over 75%, are performed by board-certified members of the AAPS. The criteria (indications) for deeming penis enlargement surgery appropriate are the following:

Medical Functionality – whereby surgery is deemed appropriate for men with penises less than 10cm in length (Micro penis), or 9cm in girth, directly affecting the ability of the individual to procreate. In many cases, the cost for surgical alteration to fix this condition is paid by insurance.

Genetic Malformation – when hypospadias, epispadias and/or fibroses, or Micro penis are indicated. Insurance carriers sometimes pay the costs for surgery, but every case is different.

Psychological or Aesthetic Need – this indication is based on the patient’s perceived need or want and in most instances, the cost of the surgery is borne by the patient.
