- Dr James Elist, a Beverly Hills urologist, developed a new penile implant
- Implant is made of soft silicone - and is inserted under the skin of the penis
- It is available in sizes large, extra large - and double extra large
- Penile enhancement only takes 45 minutes, and costs $13,000 (£9,000)
- Immediately after the op, the penis girth and length is two inches larger
- Dr Elist told Daily Mail Online he performs two of these ops a day
The size of a man’s penis plays a huge role in his self esteem.
Having a small member can proliferate feelings of being less masculine or appealing to the opposite sex.
And so, men blighted by a smaller manhood may abstain from sexual encounters – or shy away from the locker rooms at the gym.
These feelings of inadequacy can lead to depression, problems with intimacy and potentially even suicidal thoughts.
However,
a Beverly Hills urologist, Dr James Elist, has developed a
revolutionary penile enhancement procedure that offers new hope to men
with small penises.
A
silicone implant is inserted into the penis during the $13,000 (£9,000)
procedure – instantly increasing the length and girth by approximately
two inches.
Dr
Elist told Daily Mail Online that patients have the option of choosing
between three implant sizes for the procedure: Large, extra large and
double extra large.
The surgeon explained: ‘Nobody wants to have a small or medium one.’

Dr James Elist, a urologist in Beverly
Hills, has developed a breakthrough penile implant (pictured) - made of
soft silicone - that increases the length and girth of a man's member
by approximately two inches
Dr Elist has been working as an urologist for more than 35 years.
He
has always had an interest in men’s sexual dysfunction – and even
garnered notoriety as the first doctor to link cigarette smoking with
impotence.
‘If men see the sign on cigarettes that say smoking can cause impotency, they can blame it on me,’ he said.
For decades,
the doctor was one of many who performed an operation on men with
erectile dysfunction, in which a prosthesis was inserted into the
arteries of the penis.
The procedure was designed to allow blood to properly flow through the arteries, so that a man could achieve an erection.
Dr
Elist explained: ‘I noticed after insertion of the implant, between a
year or two, most men were complaining that the size of their penis
shrunk.
‘They did have an erection, but the girth and length of the penis decreased.’
In 2002, the doctor discovered a solution for the ‘shrinking’ problem.
At the time, there were many penile enhancement treatments available – but none were effective.
Fat
injections were previously used to increase the girth, but Dr Elist
told Daily Mail Online that fat is absorbed after five or six months.
He said: ‘It gives the patients total deformity, because it was forming lumps and bumps under the penis.’
Furthermore,
foreign tissue transplants and even gel fillers – which are commonly
used on the face to decrease wrinkles – proved to be ineffective as
well.
That’s why Dr Elist came up with the idea of implanting a soft silicone sheath under the penis.

Dr Elist (pictured) developed the
implant after noticing men who underwent surgery for erectile
dysfunction were reporting that their penises 'shrunk' after the
procedure. Since fat injections and gel fillers were ineffective in
increasing the size of the penis, he decided to take the matter into his
own hands

The penis implant is available in
three sizes - large, extra large and double extra large - and is
inserted during a $13,000 (£9,000) procedure. It boosts both the girth
and the length of the penis
‘This
is similar to breast implants – but a breast implant is a bag filled
with silicone gel or in some cases saline,’ the urologist explained.
‘My implant is different; it’s not filled with anything.
‘The
material is very soft silicone with the shape of the penis – which
covers the penis for 270 degrees around and the whole length of the
penis.’
The doctor patented his invention in 2002 – and began performing operations to insert the implants in 2004.

Dr James Elist
Since then, he has tinkered with the design, shape, techniques and even the surgery procedure.
Dr
Elist said: ‘Now at this point in time, we have the perfect product:
Something that I’m really very happy and even proud to present to the
community.’
The implant is inserted through a small incision of an inch to an inch-and-a-half in the groin.
During the short procedure, the patient is under local anesthesia, unable to feel anything that is happening.
The doctor inserts the implant through the skin of the groin, until it gets under the skin of the penis.
Immediately after the procedure, a man’s penis will have expanded between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, Dr Elist said.
He said: ‘For most of the patients after surgery, the length of the penis and the girth of the penis are very similar.’
However,
whether the doctor inserts a large, extra large or double extra large
implant is partially up to the patient – but also dependent upon the
man’s skin.
‘Some
patients, unfortunately, are born with tight skin – or when they had
the circumcision, a lot of skin was removed, so they don’t have enough
skin,’ Dr Elist said.
‘So for them we start with large.’

length of the penis, and also wraps 270 degrees around the member. It is

The implant is put under the skin of
the penis, and immediately increases its size. Dr Elist said that the
implant is designed to last a man's entire life - but upwards of 15 per
cent of his patients choose to have a second procedure to increase their
size even more
But for patients with ‘good skin’ the doctor generally begins with an extra large implant.
The implant is designed to last for the man’s entire life.
However, the doctor noted, 10 to 15 per cent of the doctor’s patients opt to ‘upgrade’ after the procedure.
In those instances, the doctor uses the double extra large implant.
We
did a study of 400 of our patients retrospectively, and we noticed that
the self-confidence of patients has increased significantly
Dr Elist
Recovery from the procedure doesn’t take too long, he said.
The men are able to go back to their daily activities and routine the following day.
However,
it is vital that men abstain from sexual activities – including
masturbation and oral sex – for four to six weeks afterwards.
Dr
Elist said: ‘That is very important, unfortunately, some of our
patients did not follow the instructions and we had some problems.
‘The skin is thin at that point, so it can get infected and you’d have to remove it.’
The surgeon has become renowned around the world for his work in penile enhancement.
Patients fly from all over to seek his help – even as far away as Moscow and Brazil.
Currently, he performs two of the implantation procedures each day.
Dr
Elist told Daily Mail Online that the vast majority of his patients see
a huge improvement in their self confidence after undergoing the
operation.
‘We
did a study of 400 of our patients retrospectively, and we noticed that
the self-confidence of patients has increased significantly,’ he said.
Those
whose confidence levels were previously at one or two out of 10, spiked
up to nine or 10 out of 10 after the implant, the doctor added.
