Urologist & Phalloplastic Surgeon, Dr. Richard Wineland
With over 25 years of practice, Dr. Wineland holds safe, non-invasive practices at his highest regard. Phallocare LLC, Wineland's new practice, provides men with honest and straightforward information regarding penis enlargement.
"I find in my practice that men rarely come to me for phalloplasty, surgical penile enlargement, because their partner wants them to have a larger penis. It is usually the man himself that feels either inadequate, or that his performance as a lover would be enhanced by the procedure.Perception can be a powerful thing. Even when a male has a penis that is average in size - in America that is 5 to 7 inches - they will often feel that it should be bigger. Even if the partner is not particularly concerned with the issue - the male will still feel that a larger penis is desirable. It really boils down to issues of self-image and these issues can be of great psychological importance to the individual involved.
That is not to say that women do not appreciate a larger penis! There are many women who do - but again, for the most part, lovemaking is not just about the penis for women, they are much more 'holistic' in their approach to the event than men are. For them it is as much to do with the whole man, the setting, the circumstances, as it is to do with the penis alone. It is a much more complicated affair for them.
Nevertheless, many men seek penile enlargement. Any surgery is a serious medical step, and I always advise clients to consider the range of alternatives available to them before the more invasive step of surgery. For example a popular non-surgical technique that is gaining acceptance in the US is mechanical traction using a medical device designed specifically for this purpose. If a man decides to pursue penile enlargement, surgery alone is not the only option and may not be the best option. Each patient should be professionally evaluated and treatment should be tailored to his individual situation.
