'Who is to judge what is a legitimate complaint and what isn't? 'These are controversial waters we're stepping in,' he added. Whereas the first teenager had an obvious medical condition that needed treating, performing surgery on someone who is completely healthy but having difficulties with the size of his penis is another matter, said Dr Carrion. He said: 'This man seems to have a naturally large penis, because there's nothing unusual in his medical history, so it doesn't seem like there's any real abnormality in this case'. Since the paper describing the surgery was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, Dr Carrion has only had one person approach him to request the same surgery. 'It looks cosmetically appealing, and he said it was a life-changing event, he's all smiles,' said Carrion. The teen now has no problem having normal erections and has full sensation. 'It's slightly longer and slightly thicker than the average male, but now it looks symmetrical, and the patient was very satisfied,' he said.
