Penis enlargement in Malta from tomorrow

Maltese men who suffer from performance anxiety in the bedroom, or who have ego problems related to the size – or the lack thereof – of their member, will soon have a solution to their problem.

A new clinic dedicated to cosmetic surgery which opens tomorrow in Attard will offer the revolutionary ‘penile enlargement procedure’ for the first time on the island.

The clinic, which is a branch of the St James Hospital fleet, will be called Transforma and will be completely dedicated to avant-garde cosmetic surgery for both males and females. Besides the penis enlargement procedure, the clinic will offer a host of other cosmetic procedures such as the often-requested breast enlargement or reduction surgery, liposculpture, nose jobs and lesser-known but equally innovative treatments.

St James Hospital is renowned for bringing new, sometimes controversial, treatments to the island. The hospital was the first to set up a purposely built Assisted Reproduction Technology clinic in Malta, for the first time giving couples experiencing fertility problems the chance to undergo the latest treatments, such as IVF and ICSI (a remedy for men with sperm count problems).

Since then, a number of couples who would otherwise have found it impossible to have children without going abroad for treatment at exorbitant expense, have successfully had their own children. The procedures never gave rise to issues on this religiously conservative island, Dr Josie Muscat, owner and director of the hospital, claimed. This was mainly because couples were urged to seek spiritual guidance and also because the hospital follows certain ethics. Donor inseminations, for instance are not carried out, the clinic transfers all the embryos and no embryos are frozen, the doctor told MaltaToday.

When asked whether the clinic would also be carrying out sex change operations, Dr Muscat replied that there had never been any request for the procedure. As to ethics, Dr Muscat commented that if surgery was deemed not to be in the best interest of the patient, the surgeon would refuse to carry out the procedure.

"The surgeon will obviously enquire into the reason behind the desire for surgery and it will be the responsibility of every individual surgeon to decide whether it is advisable to carry out the procedure or not," Dr Muscat said.

Another branch of the Hospital is due to open tomorrow in Sliema: it will be a fully-dedicated eye clinic and will bring to Malta the Lasik procedure, which has had tremendous success abroad.
