Penis fat grafting in NYC is a surgical procedure that uses your own body fat, harvested through liposuction from the abdomen or thighs, to permanently increase penile girth. At our Manhattan practice, board-certified surgeon Dr. Elliot Heller, MD, FACS, performs penile fat transfer as an outpatient procedure with local or general anesthesia. He has performed more than 10,000 male enhancement procedures since 1989. Patients typically see immediate volume increase that stabilizes around 60 to 70 percent at 6 months. No implants, no synthetic materials, and a one-time procedure that delivers permanent results.
For men feeling unhappy with the size of their penis, there are multiple penis widening and penile girth enhancement procedures available. One of the most effective, natural, and permanent among these is fat transfer penile enlargement. The fat transfer, which is also referred to as fat harvest and injection, is an outpatient surgical procedure for men to achieve an aesthetic, permanent girth result.
During a fat transfer or fat grafting procedure, the surgeon transfers fat from the thighs or the abdomen to the penis shaft. Most people have additional fat at least in some places of their bodies. The surgeon chooses the most ideal place from which to harvest the fat. Selecting, harvesting, and transferring the healthiest fat cells from fatty areas helps the surviving fat cells engraft permanently.
Dr. Elliot Heller, MD, FACS, a board-certified surgeon, specializes in the fat transfer procedure for increasing the length and girth of the penis. He has performed thousands of penile enlargement procedures. He has experienced that the fat transfer procedure is not only the most effective but also permanent.
The fat transfer penis enlargement surgery involves two procedures. In the first one, the surgeon performs liposuction of fat from the selected areas of the body. The fat is then purified so that only the pure fat remains while the other unwanted materials are discarded. The second procedure involves the transfer of the filtered or the purified fat to the shaft of the penis. The surgeon injects the fat around the shaft of the penis. The surgeon uses expert skills and techniques to make sure the transferred fat cells survive for the longest term.
“Penis fat grafting is the right answer when a patient wants permanent girth and is willing to undergo an outpatient surgical procedure. Unlike filler, the result is your own tissue. Once the surviving fat cells engraft and revascularize, the volume is yours for life.”

Though the fat transfer procedure is permanent and safe, this is not the only treatment option for penis widening. Dr. Heller is well-known for his specialization in several other male enhancement methods such as dermal fillers, ligament release, platelet injections, and others. These methods are also very effective and offer significant results for an increase in the length, function, and girth of the penis.
After the surgery, patients should avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours and rest for 24 hours. Recovery occurs fast, but there are some precautions to follow after the treatment. Light exercise can resume slowly. The surgeon will advise you not to indulge in sex for 7 to 10 days.
Penis fat grafting is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and harvest volume. The full operation, including liposuction harvest from the abdomen or thigh, fat purification, and injection, typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Patients are discharged the same day with a responsible adult driver.
The body absorbs a portion of transferred fat cells in the first 6 months while the surviving cells revascularize and engraft permanently. In published case series, surviving fat retention rates range from 60 to 70 percent. Dr. Heller intentionally over-injects volume during the initial procedure to anticipate this absorption window. Final, permanent girth is established at 6 months and does not regress thereafter.
Many patients combine penis fat grafting with ligament release surgery at the same operative session for both length and girth enhancement. Other candidates pair fat grafting with pubic liposuction so that the visible girth gain is amplified by reduction of the overlying fat pad. For patients deciding between non-surgical and surgical options, non-surgical penis enlargement consultations review fillers, P-Shot, and silicone sleeve implant alongside fat transfer.
You are a good candidate for a fat transfer procedure if you are self-conscious about the size of your penis. If you desire to enhance the girth of your penis and get a longer-looking penis, you should consider this treatment. Fat transfer is also appropriate for patients with genetic penile size concerns reviewed during consultation.
An expert in fat transfer for penile enhancement, Dr. Heller leads NY Penis Enlargement and performs both surgical and non-surgical male enhancement procedures at his Manhattan practice.

Penis fat grafting is a surgical procedure in which your own fat is harvested through liposuction (typically from the abdomen or thighs), purified, and injected into the shaft of the penis to increase girth. Because the injected material is your own tissue, the result is permanent in surviving fat cells, with no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are a non-surgical 20-minute office injection with results lasting 18 to 24 months. Penis fat grafting is an outpatient surgical procedure under local or general anesthesia with permanent results in surviving fat cells. Many patients start with fillers and convert to fat grafting once they have decided permanent enhancement is right for them.
Penis fat grafting is performed as an outpatient procedure under either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and the volume of fat being transferred. The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes including the liposuction harvest.
Approximately 60 to 70 percent of the transferred fat survives long-term after the body absorbs the non-surviving fat cells in the first 6 months. Dr. Heller intentionally over-corrects volume during the initial procedure to anticipate this absorption. Final, permanent girth is established at the 6-month mark.
Most patients return to desk work within 24 to 48 hours. Light exercise resumes after 7 days. Sexual activity is restricted for 7 to 10 days to allow fat cells to engraft and revascularize without disruption. Final results stabilize at 6 months.
Pricing depends on the volume of fat transferred and whether the procedure is combined with another surgical step (such as ligament release for length). Confidential pricing is reviewed during consultation. Call 866-477-2023 to schedule.
Yes, when performed by a qualified surgeon. Because the injection material is your own tissue, allergic reaction is not a concern. The risk profile is similar to other liposuction-plus-injection procedures: temporary bruising, swelling, and the possibility of asymmetric absorption that can be addressed at a touch-up procedure if needed. Phone: 866-477-2023.
Yes. Many patients combine fat grafting with ligament release surgery for length enhancement at the same operative session. Some patients pair fat grafting with pubic liposuction when reduction of the pubic fat pad would amplify the visible girth gain. Combined procedures are reviewed during a confidential consultation with Dr. Heller.
