Current Situation

Penis enlargement surgery for men without erectile dysfunction was for many years one of the most popular elective surgical procedure performed by the surgical specialists of the Sava Perovic Foundation.

But surgery to create larger male genitals and a larger than average penis comprised only about 5% of the 74 complex urogenital system & genito-urinary procedures we do.

We appreciate interest in the surgeries of the Sava Perovic Foundation led by reconstructive surgeon Dr Rados Djinovic (JIN-O-VICH), Chairman.

The Foundation is dedicated to the continual advancement of the techniques and procedures of globally acclaimed urologist surgeon Akademik Professor Dr Sava V Perovic, MD, PhD.

Most travel to Serbia for healthcare tourism is for complex, non-elective surgery by Dr Djinovic, who also leads the Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team. About 95% of our urology operations have always been unrelated to penile enlargement and penis sizes. Much of our work is correction of pediatric congenital defects, anomalies and syndromes such as hypospadias.

When top quality PLGA scaffolds stopped being created in Seoul, South Korea, and stocks were used up, Dr Djinovic also lost interest in doing this elective surgery. His current recommendation is do nothing. Leave your penis as it is.

Dr Kim Jin Hong also no longer recommends PLGA scaffold surgery. He still does penis enlargement but advises a newer, easier, faster tissue engineering method that require no surgery and gives greater volume increase at a lower cost.

These articles about this surgery are now only for historical reference.

Evaluations by Surgeon

Written evaluations and/or answers from Dr Djinovic about any matter ALWAYS take 1-10 WEEKS after we have received your medical history, photos and any other relevant information about your case.

A medical tourist can get answers and a urologic evaluation fastest by providing from the start, all the info the phalloplasty surgeons need to do a long-distance evaluation.

Getting a long-distance evaluation from Dr Djinovic and arranging an appointment requires patience.

The case manager has no special power to force the surgeon to accomplish more in less time.

We get many inquiries every day and work through them as swiftly as we can.

Provide complete information, plan ahead, perform your due diligence and you will get the solution you need the soonest.

Just like there was only one Michelangelo and one Albert Einstein, and there is only one Michael Phelps and only one Michael Jordan, there was only one Sava Perovic and there is only one Rados Djinovic.

Professor Perovic performed more than 20,000 surgical procedures over nearly four decades and amazed the medical world by consistently achieving the best surgical results anywhere for his patients with amazingly high success rates and remarkably low rates of complications.

Dr Djinovic and the Surgical Team of the Sava Perovic Foundation are taking his techniques, procedures and philosophy to the next level. That means they are busier than you can imagine.

Many patients came from around the world for Dr Perovic to correct mistakes, failures and bad penis enlargment surgery and the Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team continues to provide that service.

More than a few guys are waiting for their medical situation to stabilize so Dr Djinovic can undo the damage done by other surgeons attempting girth enhancement using tissue engineering.

Other times it's Alloderm or FFT gone wrong or the unfortunate result of other inadvisable procedures.

The Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team will fix the penile enhancement problem but do not ask them to comment about the surgery or the surgeon because invariably Dr Djinovic's answer will be: “No comment.”

Most patients can sort out all issues and questions by email in advance of their visit with no need for a trip only to consult with the doctor.

Only in unusual cases that cannot be evaluated from only photos and a detailed medical history and other medical documents does a medical tourist need to come to Belgrade for a physical exam, evaluation and consultation before surgery.

Patients from Serbia and other Balkan nations pay Dinars 5000 for a consultation about penile enhancement surgery.

Perovic penile girth enhancement using autologous tissue engineering with biodegradable scaffolds is very safe with a 100% success rate after more than 300 operations and an average girth increase in both flaccid and erect states of approximately 30% in the initial pilot study done a decade ago.

• [mean value flaccid girth gain 3.15 cm (0.42, range 1.9 to 4.1 cm)]
• [mean value erect girth gain 2.47 cm (0.49, range 1.8 to 3.0 cm)]

Substantial but not massive size increase is the trade-off for the safety, success, permanency, and rare, minor complications of tissue engineering such as inflammation that requires application of antibiotic ointment.

The procedure can be repeated a year later for additional gains and some patients have had three girth enhancements.

A number of men have come back for a second and a third penile girth enhancement because the results are cumulative.

Penile girth enhancement surgery repeated by the Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team a second time costs about 38% less than the first procedure.

Girth enhancement by the Belgrade Team a third time is discounted more than 53%.

Lengthening is NOT cumulative so can be done only once. See more info below.

You can calculate the approximate immediate increase in your girth after tissue engineering surgery using the formulas:

• [Circumference = π • Diameter] and
• [Diameter = Circumference / π]
• π (pi) = 3.14

… because the scaffolds are exactly 4mm thick which means an instant 8 mm increase in diameter:

• [(original penile diameter + 8 mm) • 3.14].

How that evolves into penile augmentation over the subsequent months varies from person to person. The surgery is the same for every patient but the:

1. unique character of each person's physiology;
2. how correctly you implement the post-operative physiotherapy and schedule;
3. health; and
4. nutrition

… all play a part in the results achieved.

For example, many patients have sex too soon and too much but then blame complications or lower than average results on the surgery.

If you have complications, it is almost certain you've been having inadvisable sex.

Make a deal with all your sex partners to allow you the time needed to heal properly.

You can find your current penile diameter using your current circumference using the formulas above.

Penis enlargement surgery takes less than 2 hours of surgery, requires 1-2 days hospital stay and 3-4 days in Belgrade total time. A standard schedule:

• Day One: arrive, have consultation and pre-op exam, give blood, check into medical facility & stay night;
• Day Two: surgery, stay night at medical facility;
• Day Three: post-op exam, nursing care, check-out of medical facility, check into hotel (or stay at medical facility for Euros 50 to 60 per night);
• Day Four: physical exam then departure.

Patients who believe scrotal cell culture for seeding the scaffolds (full tissue culture) may get them better girth gains than blood serum, and who are willing to travel to Serbia twice to do so, are welcome to choose that option.

It costs an additional Euros 350 during your first visit for the tissue culture.

First read “Tips for Max Results” by Patient "M".

Before you ask any questions, first read these ↓ answers to the many questions asked specifically about penis enlargement surgery which have already been published online.

During the past four decades, Dr Perovic developed many secret “tips and tricks” while doing surgery on his 20,000 patients.

More than 10,000 of those persons needed the most complex urogenital surgery done anywhere. Those “tips and tricks” used by the Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team mean complications are extremely rare and the ones that occur are very minor — and patients get aesthetically pleasing as well as very functional surgical results.

Dr Djinovic puts tremendous importance on attention to detail and that is a big part of their often amazing results.

Not all men are suitable candidates for penile girth enhancement and photos can show that.

In 2009, Dr Perovic & Dr Djinovic revised post-operative physiotherapy for penile girth enhancement patients:

Regarding postoperative physiotherapy it is best is to start with an ANDROPENIS stretcher about two weeks post-operatively (when the wounds have healed).

Hold it 2-3 times per day for about 20-30 minutes each time in the beginning and slowly increase the time until eventually, after 3-4 weeks, you hold your penis in it for 5 or 6 or 7 hours/day.

In the past, patients began using a vacuum device at 2-3 weeks and two times every day for 10-15 minutes for approximately 3-6 months until the healing process finished.

Now, using a vacuum device is better postponed until about four weeks after surgery.

Retraction is present in all patients after scaffolds implantation, regardless of whether lengthening is also done, but it is only temporary until the PLGA scaffolds start to reabsorb.

Penile length returns to normal soon after starting with a vacuum.

Postponing the use of the vacuum device, such as if you experience slower than usual healing or if you have complicated and delayed recovery by having sex too soon, will not affect the eventual result.

[Note: Falling asleep for a long period of time while using an Andropenis device can result in permanent, total loss of tactile and erogenous sensation in your penis. Use only as prescribed by Dr Djinovic. It is NOT considered a penis lengthening device as claimed by some.]

Dr Djinovic does not use fat, lipofilling, Alloderm, silicone or any other substance to create penile girth enhancement in men able to have natural erections unaided. He used only tissue engineering and biodegradable scaffolds.
