Penis Thickening
with Phallograft®

Penis Thickening with Phallograft® – Form-Stable Implant Thickening

The Phallograft® method is the most innovative and exclusive form of permanent penis thickening in the portfolio of the Androklinik (Praxisklinik am Rosengarten) — and unique in this respect: The Praxisklinik am Rosengarten is the only clinic in Europe that offers this procedure. The method was developed in the clinic itself.

The Phallograft® is a structure-providing special matrix made of body-identical collagen tissue. So instead of fatty tissue, we use the form-stable collagen tissue here! It wraps around the erectile body like a coat, enlarging and stabilizing it — and transforms over the course of months into the body's own tissue. The result: permanently more volume, consistent thickness, and better stability even in the flaccid state.

What is Phallograft® — and how does it work?

Phallograft® is a specially developed tissue matrix made of body-identical material — manufactured in Germany (Made in Germany) and specifically designed for penis thickening. The material is not recognized by the body as foreign, which minimizes the risk of rejection reactions.

The implant is inserted under the penis skin via the circumcision access and wraps around the erectile bodies like a structure-providing sheath. In the months following the procedure, the matrix gradually transforms into the body's own tissue — creating permanently more volume that feels and behaves naturally.

    Via circumcision incision — circumcision may be simultaneously required
  • Downtime:
    Office work: 3–5 days · physical work: 10–14 days
  • Wound healing:
    Approx. 2–3 weeks in the circumcision area · sutures dissolve on their own

When is Phallograft® the right choice?

If you want this...

...then Phallograft® is particularly suitable

Maximum, form-stable thickening

✓ Phallograft® offers consistent thickness regardless of the state of arousal

Pronounced blood penis

✓ Structure-providing matrix stabilizes even the non-erect size

No body fat available or not desired

✓ No body's own fatty tissue required

Short downtime desired

✓ 3–5 days office work, no 8-week rest period as with body fat

No strict aftercare rules

✓ Less downtime compared to fat transfer

Circumcision already planned or already performed

✓ Both procedures can be sensibly combined — one anesthesia

Permanent, stable result without resorption

✓ No fat resorption · the material integrates permanently

Special indication: The blood penis

A key advantage of Phallograft® over other thickening methods is its effect on the so-called blood penis — a term for a penis that shows hardly any volume in the flaccid state but swells to normal size during erection.

While body fat or hyaluronic acid cannot stabilize the flaccid size, the Phallograft® matrix wraps around the erectile body in a structure-providing manner. The result: The penis no longer retracts as strongly — the non-erect length and thickness are permanently stabilized. For men with a pronounced blood penis, Phallograft® is therefore often the superior choice.

The circumcision access: What does that mean in practice?

The Phallograft® is inserted via the circumcision access — this is the anatomically most favorable way to introduce the matrix under the penis skin. This results in a practical requirement:
  • Patients who are already circumcised can have the Phallograft® operation performed directly
  • Patients who are not yet circumcised sensibly have the circumcision performed in the same procedure
  • The combination of both procedures in one short-duration anesthesia is the common and recommended option

After the operation, a wound remains only in the circumcision area, which heals after approx. 2–3 weeks. The sutures dissolve on their own. No further wounds or scars occur on the penis shaft itself.

The surgical procedure

Phase

What happens

1

Consultation & Planning

Detailed consultation with our medical team (also by video) · assessment of the anatomy · clarification of circumcision status · individual surgical planning · information about result and risks · cost plan

2

Short-duration anesthesia & access

Induction of short-duration anesthesia · preparation of the operating field · access via the circumcision incision · Phallograft® matrix is precisely positioned around the erectile body

3

Implant insertion

The Phallograft® wraps around the erectile body as a structure-providing sheath · no incisions on the penis shaft required · precise positioning for an even result

4

Wound closure

Wound closure in the circumcision area · self-dissolving sutures · no wound dressing on the shaft required · outpatient or one night in the clinic (depending on the situation)

5

Healing & result

The circumcision wound heals in approx. 2–3 weeks · swelling subsides · the tissue matrix gradually integrates into the body's own tissue over the following months · sex possible immediately after complete wound healing

The result — and an honest assessment

The Phallograft® method achieves a form-stable, permanent penis thickness without resorption. Two components determine the result:

  • Effect on penis thickness: The circumference increases permanently through the special matrix
  • Stabilization effect: The penis retracts less strongly in the flaccid state

Important note on the result

Even though the Phallograft® is not recognized by the body as foreign, the body must do the "work" of integrating the material into its own tissue.

This happens at an individually varying pace — which is why no binding statements can be made about the exact final result and the healing time.

Our medical team will discuss realistic expectations with you in the consultation, based on your individual anatomy and expectations.

Frequently asked questions about Phallograft®

Do I have to be circumcised to have Phallograft® performed?
Yes — the Phallograft® is inserted via the circumcision access. If you are not yet circumcised, the circumcision can sensibly be performed in the same procedure and under the same anesthesia. This is the most common and recommended combination.
Is Phallograft® a permanent foreign implant?
Not in the classic sense. The Phallograft® matrix consists of body-identical material that is not recognized by the body as a foreign body and gradually transforms into the body's own tissue over the course of months. The result is permanent body's own volume — without a classic permanent silicone implant.
Why is Phallograft® particularly suitable for a blood penis?
A blood penis shows hardly any volume in the flaccid state but swells to normal size during erection. Since the Phallograft® matrix is placed around the erectile body in a structure-providing manner, it also stabilizes the non-erect size — the penis no longer retracts as strongly. Body fat or hyaluronic acid do not offer this stabilization effect in this form.
How long is the downtime after the surgery?
Office work is usually possible again after 3–5 days. For physical work, expect 10–14 days of rest. The circumcision wound heals within approx. 2–3 weeks. Sexual activity is possible again immediately after complete wound healing.
Which aftercare rules do I have to follow?
Compared to penis thickening with body fat, the aftercare rules for Phallograft® are significantly less complicated. There are no strict 8-week rules regarding nicotine, pressure, or temperatures. You will receive specific recommendations from Dr. Spanholtz after the procedure — these depend on your individual healing progress.
