Abstract

A 54-year-old man with a severely concealed penis secondary to progressive obesity is presented. Circumferential adhesion release of the penis and monsplasty using bilateral elliptical excisions and suction-assisted lipectomy were carried out to restore shaft length. Specifically addressing the mons as an anatomic unit requiring defatting for adequate penile projection, as is described in this case report, has not been previously reported in the literature.
