I heard that erectile disfunction could decrease penis size could you please
tell us about that. Penis is a very interesting organ because I think
the size varies a lot. There's an organ like that in our body
Actually that's the reason why the augmentation surgery of the penis is
very difficult and why the patients are not that satisfied with the results because our
technology is not there yet to meet the variable changes of the size like that
But anyhow maybe it is related to that kind of perspective but penis size decreases
whenever it gets an injury like a trauma or Peyronie's disease
All kind of injuries can shrink the size of the penis, so erectile
dysfunction is also a form of injury which comes from the vessels so it's
a vascular injury happens to the penis blood flow decreases and then
a kind of hypoxic damage is done to the penis, so their size can decrease.
A good example can be prostate cancer. When they have prostate cancer a
radical prostectomy can be done to cut the prostate out
15 to 30 percent of the patients suffer may suffer from erectile dysfunction
after the surgery, so their blood flow was suddenly decreased to the
penis so in a year about an inch of the size will shrink. An inch for height
maybe not a big deal but an inch down there is a huge thing
So patients suffer from that because they can notice their changes a lot
An another comparable example could be a diabetic patients who have
erectile dysfunction, so diabetic patients tend to have a long term damage
very slowly physical injuries are done to the penis
so their size shrinks very slowly
So it's a very comparable examples I'll say
Whatever injury the penis has the size can decrease
Why is penis size so important for men? I would say why
is breast size so important for a woman? When it comes to genitalia it's not just
about the function a woman's breast is not for just for breast feeding a baby
it's also one of the genital organs. Genital organs are almost always very
deeply related to our own self-esteem our own self-image that's why if let's say
woman has a three nipples will they be treated for that or not?
They will definitely get a treatment because it's a genital organ. You have a mole in
here you don't get a treatment almost all the time but if you have a mole or
something similar around the nipple you will almost always get
treatment why because it's the genitalia. So genital organs have always
been deeply related to our self-image. And for men our penis size
is also deeply related with our own manhood as well so what I stress is that
I'm not saying they needed huge, this size of penis, no but at least it is
a decent way to respect them restoring to what they had before
I'm not saying that we have to you know grow it but they need to get at least
what they had before. Just like breast cancer surgery so when women had
breast cancer and then they had a radical mastectomy, cutting
all the breast tissues out, they need a breast reconstruction but when getting a
reconstruction wouldn't they want the same size as they had before
Rather than smaller or bigger than that, so they want the same size they want to
restore what they had. It's the same concept. I'd heard that the inflatable
implant actually decreases the length after surgery. Is that still the case?
I mean, that's how I was trained when I was getting the training in the U.S.
I traveled around meeting not just one surgeon but the one of the biggest
implanters in the U.S. so I traveled two-thirds of the U.S. to see the so called the
King of the State, South, Midwest
or something like that and all of them taught me, all of them
was consulting with the patients that they will have
decreased size after the surgery so I thought that yeah it's
a textbook way you can say that your penis will shrink after the surgery
After I came back to Korea and started my own practice, I finally
understood that there is something missing. This surgery, why do the patients getting
this surgery they are not just getting it for the function they are not just
getting it for the sex they were trying to restore their manhood in terms of
that penile size should also be accounted for when doing the surgery
So I had to find a way how to restore the size and thanks to Dr. Wilson and Robert
Valenzuela in New York they taught me the subcoronal
approach. After I converted to the subcoronal approach and applying the other
methods I learned before elsewhere around the world I was able to restore
the size after the surgery. Now I tell my patients, I have about 700 hundred
cases with me, which shows that their size can be restored
after the surgery, so I can safely say that inflatable penile prosthetic surgery can
restore their lost size. I don't know whether it's complete or not because I
can't tell, I can't see the patient from ten years ago but still what the
patient told me was that they restored the size after six months to
two years. So can size be restored with erectile dysfunction surgery? Yes you can
so there may be a degree of change like not a hundred percent
or eighty percent I don't know or 110%. We do not know because
we surgeons can never see the patient ahead of the disease so I do not know
their full size right but still what you can achieve is that we can restore as
much as we can. There is only one way we can achieve it
currently in my eyes, the safe way is with the inflatable penile prosthetic surgery
