About This Procedure
Why Choose Meva Clinic?
thickening support using autologous fat. Most natural feel and bio-compatible.
Fat grafting for penile girth in Istanbul uses your own tissue rather than an implant or filler. A small amount of fat is taken from an area with available donor fat, purified and placed in fine layers along the shaft with the Coleman micro-fat technique. Part of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed as it settles, and how much remains varies between patients, so the surgeon sets realistic expectations at consultation. The procedure is done in a day clinic under sedation, followed by about four partner-hotel nights according to the confirmed care plan. Desk work often resumes after 5–10 days; sport and sexual activity wait for surgeon clearance, typically at 4–6 weeks. Photos and records are reviewed confidentially. For a sheet-graft alternative, compare the dermal matrix graft.

The Clinical Procedure
Coleman micro-fat grafting technique.
Specialist Consultation
Medical history, anatomy, expectations and possible donor areas are assessed, and the doctor explains what fat grafting can and cannot achieve.
Fat Harvesting
Under sedation, a small amount of fat is gently collected by liposuction from the donor area agreed during planning.
Micro-Fat Grafting
The fat is purified and injected in small amounts along the shaft using the Coleman micro-fat grafting technique, aiming for even distribution.
Discharge & Follow-up
The treated area is checked and dressed before same-day discharge; aftercare instructions are explained and a check-up is arranged before you fly home.
Recovery & Transformation Journey
Phase 1: Day Clinic & Rest
The fat is harvested and grafted under sedation, and you return to the partner hotel the same day. Light compression, gentle hygiene and rest follow; the small donor-site entry points are checked at the post-op visit.
Phase 2: Back to Desk Work
Desk work often resumes after 5–10 days. Swelling and bruising along the shaft and at the donor site settle gradually. Avoid pressure or massage on the grafted area so the new fat can take hold.
Phase 3: Surgeon Clearance
Strenuous exercise and any sexual activity, including masturbation, resume only after surgeon clearance, typically at 4–6 weeks.
Phase 4: Settling & Review
Over the first months, part of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed, while the fat that survives becomes living tissue. The result is reviewed remotely from photos, and a touch-up session is sometimes planned.
The Meva Advantage
Gentle VASER-assisted harvesting and micro-fat processing designed to protect fat cells before transfer.
Medical Guidelines & Safety Protocols
Hospital-based procedures are coordinated through accredited partner hospitals, including JCI-accredited institutions where clinically appropriate. Below are the clinical guidelines, safety protocols, and medical reference documentation for this procedure.
Indicated / Suitable For
- Men seeking a moderate increase in girth using their own tissue rather than a filler or an implant
- Men with enough donor fat, usually on the abdomen or flanks, for a small volume to be harvested safely
- Non-smokers, or men willing to stop smoking around the procedure, since good blood supply helps grafted fat survive
- Patients who accept that part of the fat is reabsorbed and that a touch-up session is sometimes planned
- Men able to avoid pressure, massage and sexual activity until surgeon clearance so the graft can take hold
Contraindications / Not Suitable
- Body dysmorphic disorder or size anxiety with normal penile dimensions, where counselling comes first
- Very low body fat with no suitable donor area
- Smoking that cannot be paused, or poorly controlled diabetes, both of which reduce graft survival and slow healing
- Previous injection of silicone, paraffin or other permanent substances into the penis, which requires specialist evaluation first
- Active genital infection, skin disease on the shaft or untreated phimosis (a tight foreskin)
Pre-Operative Evaluation & Diagnostic Checks
Genital & Donor-Site Examination: Measurement of flaccid girth, assessment of penile skin laxity and selection of the donor area for harvesting.
Medical & Sexual History: Review of erectile function, previous penile procedures or injections, smoking and medicines that affect bleeding.
Sedation Readiness Tests: Blood count, coagulation profile, blood glucose, infection screening and a review of fitness for sedation.
Expectation Counselling: Discussion of fat reabsorption, possible irregularities and the chance that a second session will be needed.
Potential Risks & Complications
In compliance with transparent clinical reporting, Meva Clinic ensures patients are fully informed of the physiological risks associated with surgical procedures through accredited partner-hospital safety protocols where clinically appropriate.
Part of the grafted fat is always reabsorbed and the amount that remains differs between patients; placing small amounts in fine layers helps more fat survive.
Fat can settle unevenly or form firm nodules; even distribution with a blunt cannula reduces this, and persistent irregularities are reviewed for correction.
Fat that does not survive may form small cysts or hard spots, usually managed conservatively and occasionally drained or removed.
Swelling of the shaft and foreskin is common for several weeks; light compression and rest help it settle.
Bruising, soreness or a minor contour change where fat was taken; the small entry points are checked at the post-op visit.
Infection is treated promptly with antibiotics; fat entering a blood vessel is rare, and the risk is reduced by blunt cannulas, gentle low-pressure injection and placement only beneath the skin.
Realistic Expectations & Outcomes
Fat grafting can add a moderate, soft increase in girth using living tissue, but it does not change length or erectile function. In the early weeks the shaft looks fuller than the final result because of swelling and the volume that will later be reabsorbed. Over the first months part of the fat disappears, and survival of the rest depends on blood supply, smoking and aftercare, so results differ between men and can be uneven. Published reviews report modest girth gains with grafting techniques and describe the overall evidence for penile augmentation as limited and mostly of low quality. The result is judged once swelling has resolved and the graft has stabilised, usually after several months; a touch-up session is sometimes planned.
Revision & Follow-Up Policy
Remote follow-up is arranged after you fly home, typically at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, using standardised photos. Because fat retention becomes clear only after several months, a touch-up session or the correction of an irregularity is considered only once the graft has stabilised. The surgeon assesses each case individually, and the need, timing and conditions of any further session are discussed openly beforehand. For 12 months after your treatment you can also send photos to the medical team whenever you wish and receive their feedback, and your questions are answered remotely.
