Abstract
Genital dysmorphia, with male preponderance, is commonly used to refer to penile dysmorphia. This dysmorphia, centred on penile size, can be contextualized as a specifier of body dysmorphic disorder with varied levels of insight. It follows that cosmetic surgery for men with genital dysmorphia without prior assessment and specific treatment is unlikely to be helpful.
