However, the second surgery left him with a deformed penis, and a third surgery resulted in the loss of his penis altogether.<\/p>\n<h4>Sean&#8217;s Story<\/h4>\n<p>Sean, in his 30s and from North Florida, wanted to gain more sensation in his penis, nearly two decades after lengthening surgery left him numb in the genitals.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, he received injections of what he was told was a collagen-producing agent, but it ended up being silicone. As a result, his penis became deformed, and he developed a life-threatening bacterial infection.<\/p>\n<h3>The Risks<\/h3>\n<p>More than 8,000 men worldwide undergo penis-enlargement procedures annually, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kenneth Carney, an Atlanta urologic and cosmetic surgeon, said he performs about 300 penis enlargements per year. Of those, about 30% to 40% are to correct other doctors\u2019 mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the main reason these botched cosmetic urology procedures happen is because they\u2019re being performed by general practitioners or dermatologists, not by urologists or cosmetic surgeons,\u201d Carney said.<\/p>\n<h3>The Consequences<\/h3>\n<p>John and Sean&#8217;s stories are just two examples of the devastating consequences of botched penis-enhancement surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>John has a corrective surgery scheduled for December involving a penis shaft transplant and skin grafts. He is contemplating filing a malpractice lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Sean is healing after a penis-saving surgery involving a penis-shaft transplant and skin grafts.<\/p>\n<h4>Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p>Penis envy can be deadly, and the consequences of botched surgeries can be devastating. It is essential for men considering penis-enlargement procedures to do their homework and make sure they are being treated by a board-certified doctor with extensive experience in plastic surgery and injectable treatments.<\/p>\n<h5>FAQs<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Q: How many men undergo penis-enlargement procedures annually?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: More than 8,000 men worldwide undergo penis-enlargement procedures annually, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What are the risks of botched penis-enhancement surgeries?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: The risks include disfigurement, infection, and even death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Who should perform penis-enlargement procedures?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Only board-certified doctors with extensive experience in plastic surgery and injectable treatments should perform penis-enlargement procedures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What should men do if they experience complications from a penis-enlargement procedure?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Men who experience complications from a penis-enlargement procedure should seek immediate medical attention and consider filing a malpractice lawsuit if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Penis Envy Can Be Deadly Many men are going to any lengths to augment the size of their private parts \u2014 and some are left with a lifetime of pain and regret.
