It could mark a major step toward personal change.
A man who has publicly described himself as having the world’s smallest penis has been offered a potentially life-changing enlargement procedure by a prominent plastic surgeon — at no cost.
Michael Phillips, 38, of North Carolina, received the offer from Beverly Hills physician Dr. Robert Dorfman, who said he is willing to perform the $20,000 enhancement surgery for free.
Dorfman said Phillips’s story resonated with him, after Phillips claimed his penis measures just 0.38 inches when erect — smaller than a pencil eraser or a grain of basmati rice.
Phillips, who has drawn attention online for speaking openly about his condition, has said the issue also creates practical challenges, including difficulty urinating.
“I understand how deeply personal these concerns can be. They can have a significant impact on self-esteem and confidence,” Dr. Dorfman told TMZ.
“If I have the opportunity to help someone feel better about themselves, I’m happy to offer my services at no cost,” he added.
Phillips launched a GoFundMe last Thursday to raise money for penis enlargement surgery, explaining that his condition has forced him to wear diapers daily.

“This has been a source of daily frustration and embarrassment, especially when traveling, which I like to do, and it has affected my confidence and independence,” Phillips wrote in the fundraiser.
He said he had saved up as much money as possible for “the cost of the surgery and injections that could help increase the girth and allow me to use the restroom more normally.”
However, Phillips pulled down the fundraiser a day later after he said he had learned more about the risks of the procedure, including losing sensation or the ability to get an erection.
Dorfman now wants to explore injection treatment instead.
Phillips previously described the difficulties of having a micropenis, which is defined by doctors as any sexual organ less than 2.67 inches long when stretched.
He said that having a penis the size of his pinky fingernail had all but destroyed his desire “to approach new people, especially females.”
Phillips said earlier this year he was considering entering the Guinness World Records for his tiny todger, which has not been verified.
In a viral social media video, a woman claimed Phillips had sent her an unsolicited penis pic during an online argument after he insulted her weight and she taunted his member.
“This is by far the smallest one I’d ever seen,” the woman said in the video.
“I tried to tell her it’s a disability and something I have to live with,” Phillips previously told TMZ, adding that he only sent the pictured “to show her that she shouldn’t make fun of people and let her see what she’s making fun of.”
