The ‘porn star plastic surgery’ menu
added girth, Alloderm is used, “tissue grafts” that are wrapped
around the rod and placed like strips of bacon on the shaft.
Dr. Alexander Krakosvsky, a plastic surgeon in La Jolla,
California, specializes in “penile enhancement surgery” or
“phalloplasty.” He says, “The average one can expect to gain in
girth from this procedure is a half inch to one inch.”
Krakosvky also performs penis lengthening surgery, which adds
up to two inches by cutting and “releasing” the “suspensory and
fundiform ligaments” from inside the pubic bone and pulling them
out. Krakosvsky warns, however, that post-op the patient must use
weights on his schlong for weeks or the penis will “retract back
inside,” creating a “where the hell did my dick go?” situation. (I
forgot to ask if the balls got sucked back up in there too.)
The lengthening procedure is often combined with non-surgical
fillers for the dick head, called “glandular penis enhancement”
(“GPE”), but is often done in conjunction with penis widening,
eliminating the possibility of ending up with a mushroom in your
pants.
The latest surgical procedure is the male equivalent of breast
implants, the “penile implant.” Designed for cosmetic purposes
only, it makes the man bone wider and longer, as opposed to the
penile implant for erectile dysfunction that creates a boner on
demand. Dr. James Elist, a urologist and plastic surgeon in Beverly
Hills, is the only doctor in the world who performs the operation.
His invention recently received FDA approval. He has performed
over 1,300 operations and has an anxious, pulsating waiting list.
His “subcutaneous silicone implant” wraps around the shaft and
comes in three sizes: “Large,” “Extra Large” and “Extra Extra
Large,” because at $13,000, nobody wants Medium.

Plastic surgeons say the demand for plastic surgery on
America’s private parts is throbbing. Male porn watchers
want to look like porn studs and sport at least an industry
standard 6-inch schlong, while women want the boobs, lips,
vagina, butt and butt-hole of a porn star. Meanwhile, female
adult performers are flocking to surgeons so they will look
good for the camera, while male stars are trying to live up to
porn names like “Dick Long.”
Breast implants got big and bigger, and eventually out
of control in the mid 1990s when female performers
made their fun bags so huge that their “double bubbles”
practically needed a highchair. Today, more natural “gummy
bear” breast implants are used to make it look like they
didn’t get breast implants.
Penis Enlargement—An Oral History
In 1993, John Wayne Bobbitt’s wife notoriously cut off
his penis and threw it in a field. He miraculously retrieved it
and had it surgically re-attached. In 1994 his new manager
convinced him to go into porn, and he starred in John Wayne
Bobbitt, Uncut. After seeing the movie, however, he thought
his money maker looked too small so he had fat injections
from his stomach injected into his revived member. (Finally,
stomach fat that’s good for something.)
Bobbitt told me (at the Hot D’or awards in Cannes,
France) that soon after the procedure, the fat “migrated”
and that his penis looked and felt “all lumpy.” For months,
he said, “it looked liked a potato.” Not letting a bad dick job
stand in the way of becoming a porn star, he starred in John
Wayne Bobbitt’s Frankenpenis in 1996. (Bobbitt also told me
his manager “managed” his penis.)
Since then, a bunch of new penis enlargement procedures
have replaced fat transfer for “penile enhancement.” For
Light Side of the Moon
Anal bleaching is bigger than ever. Blame it on adult performers
who started whitening their a-holes for the camera. Or blame it on
bikini waxes that somehow made women think their butt-holes
looked too dark. Spas and clinics now offer the procedure, which
uses either hydroquinone bleaching cream or kojic acid, which
sounds like something you don’t want near your asshole.
During a recent visit to the gynecologist, I asked her how safe the
procedure was—you know, “for a friend”—and she said the risks
included liver damage from hydroquinone and, even worse, burning
and “small tears” in the anus itself. Thanks, but I don’t need to tear
myself a new asshole.
The history of anal bleaching begins with porn stars. In 2005,
Tabitha Stevens appeared on the E! channel’s Dr. 90210 getting her
anus bleached. Since then, due to all the selfies and belfies taken
after bikini waxes, women got this crazy idea that they needed to
lighten up their Hershey Highways. Meanwhile, straight men have
a hard time finding a woman’s clitoris as it is, so I doubt they’re
judging the shade of a lady’s anus.
Skin bleaching is biggest in India, where lighter skin is more
prized and where skin bleach cream sells the most. At most spas
in America, butt-hole bleaching goes for around $150 with the
procedure lasting for just a few minutes. It ends (surprisingly with
no pain or screaming) with the anal “bleachie” going home with a
jar of cream to keep up the bleaching for another 6-8 weeks—time
enough to get ready for their close-up.
