Although it is considered high risk and experimental by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, some surgeons still do penile enlargement surgery. Some of those surgeons are convinced that it will help their patients, and others are just doing it for money. If you are determined to have this surgery, there are some things you should watch out for.
First, be sure your surgeon is accredited to do this type of surgery. Ask what body accredited him or her, and then do some further checking to make sure that the accrediting agency exists and is reputable.
In the United States, the accreditation of hospitals and of office based surgeries is done by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. Penile enlargement plastic surgeons who perform surgery in their office surgical suite apply to the branch of the Joint Commission called the Office_Based Surgery Accreditation Program if they have four or fewer doctors on staff and to the branch that deals with ambulatory patients if they have more.
The accreditation standards are meant to ensure you get the care you need, before, during, and after surgery. Be sure the accreditation is up to date. Office_based surgeries must be re_certified every three years.
A surveyor is sent from the Joint Commission to evaluate the practice and also to educate the staff to improve performance. The surveyor is a specialist in small settings for surgery and in ambulatory care. They have special training, both when they begin their work and through the year, and must be certified themselves.
Since 2004, the Joint Commission has traced specific patients through the care and services they received. Your penile enlargement plastic surgeon must meet Joint Commission standards or lose accreditation. Doctors who have provisional, conditional or preliminary accreditation must correct the problems which the surveyor found.
