Procedures · Peyronie's correction

Straightening,
chosen to fit the curve.

Peyronie's correction surgery straightens the erect penis by folding the longer side, by excising the scar plaque and grafting the defect, or by replacing the erectile tissue with an implant, and the approach is set by curvature angle and remaining rigidity, not by preference. It is offered only once the disease has stabilised; see the Peyronie's disease condition page for what stabilised means and when it happens.

Price this procedure How recourse works

Every figure on this page carries its source and the date it was checked. See the methodology line at the foot of the page.

Three approaches

Two questions decide all of it.

How far does it curve, and is rigidity otherwise intact. Those two answers select the operation between them, and there is no third input: not the patient's preference, not the clinic's equipment. Each approach buys the straightening with something different, and knowing which one your quote is for is the difference between an informed decision and a surprise.

ApproachWhen it appliesWhat it costs you
Tunica plicationCurvature under roughly 30°, no complex deformity, rigidity intactStraightens by folding and stitching the longer, unaffected side. Shortens the penis slightly. That is inherent to the method, not a complication of it
Plaque incision and graftingGreater or complex curvature, hourglass narrowing, rigidity intactExcises the fibrotic plaque and patches the defect with a graft. Preserves length, but is the more complex operation and carries a materially higher risk of new erectile dysfunction
ImplantCurvature accompanied by erectile dysfunction that has not responded to treatmentStraightens and restores rigidity in one operation, but replaces the erectile tissue permanently, and prices as an implant, at $8,100–$13,500. See /procedures/penile-implant/
Timing

The disease has to stop moving before the flight is booked.

Surgery belongs to the chronic phase, once the curve has been stable and pain-free for a sustained period. Operating during the acute phase, while the plaque is still forming and the angle is still changing, risks correcting to an angle that then changes again underneath the repair. This is the one part of the plan a travelling patient cannot compress, and it is the honest reason to be told to wait: not a scheduling problem, a disease-biology one. If a clinic offers to operate on a curve that is still changing, that is a red flag rather than an accommodation.

The operation

Thirty minutes, for the plication case.

Korean clinics publishing this procedure quote local anaesthesia, roughly 30 minutes of operating time, stitch removal at 12 to 14 days, two follow-up visits, and a return to desk work immediately, all for the plication case. Grafting is a longer operation, is not published on that schedule, and should not be assumed to follow it.

Cost

The thinnest price data on this site.

Curvature correction is published to international patients as a “from” figure of about $3,800 and, unusually, almost nothing else. English-language price lists for Peyronie's surgery are genuinely scarce, and the sources that do exist say so themselves. Treat $3,800 as a plication floor rather than an estimate for your case: grafting is the more complex operation and is quoted only after examination, and a case that needs an implant prices as an implant. This is the one procedure here where we would tell you to get written quotes from two clinics before believing either. See /pricing/.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you book.

Which Peyronie's surgery is right for me?
Curvature angle and erectile rigidity decide it, in that order. Under roughly 30° with rigidity intact: plication. Greater or complex curvature with rigidity intact: plaque incision and grafting. Curvature plus erectile dysfunction that has not responded to treatment: an implant, which straightens and restores rigidity in a single operation.
Will surgery shorten my penis?
Plication will, by design: it straightens by folding down the longer side, so the shorter side sets the length. Grafting exists specifically to avoid that, and avoiding it is the reason surgeons accept a more complex operation with a higher risk of new erectile dysfunction. Ask which of the two your quote is for; the answer changes what you are buying.
Can Peyronie's be treated without surgery?
In the acute phase, yes. That is where non-surgical treatment belongs, and surgery is generally not offered until the disease has stabilised. Once curvature is established and stable, it does not resolve on its own, because mature scar tissue does not remodel back into normal elastic tissue.
How much does Peyronie's correction cost in Korea for a foreign patient?
Published international-patient pricing starts at about $3,800 for curvature correction, and there is very little published beyond that figure. English-language price lists for this procedure are scarce. Grafting is quoted after examination, and an implant case prices at $8,100–$13,500. Get written quotes from two clinics. See /pricing/.
Is Peyronie's correction covered by the same recourse terms as gynecomastia surgery?
The same recourse terms apply to every procedure arranged through Lowden & Co. See /recourse/.
