A Bronx man claims he was left in agony — and dying of embarrassment — after a penis-enlargement-gone-wrong at a New York City men’s clinic.
He blames Best Man Manhattan and Dr. Amanuel Samad Himmed for botching the “penile enhancement” treatments, according to a lawsuit filed Sept. 17 in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The clinic, which boasts “New York’s leading penis enlargement specialists,” offers a nonsurgical procedure involving microinjections of phallic fillers into the genitals to “stimulate collagen production for permanent, lifetime enlargement,” according to its website.
Best Man pitches the unorthodox procedure — which costs up to $14,950 — as a way for men to boost their confidence and sex lives.
But the 31-year-old, whose name is being withheld for privacy, claims the treatments did the opposite – leaving his manhood aching, deformed and unable to function.
He first got the penis-plumping filler in May 2024, but returned to the FiDi clinic for a second round in October or November of the same year, according to the suit.
Both rounds involved 85 milligrams of Dimethicone Oil – a clear, odorless silicone-based polymer commonly used in cosmetic procedures, the suit says.
After the second treatment, he “developed progressive abnormalities and complications, including pain, deformity, skin changes and impairment of sexual and penile function,” according to the filing, which seeks unspecified damages.
“What he has endured has been horrific, and he is doing his best to deal with the ongoing repercussions,” his attorney Ben Bartolotta told The Post.
Best Man and Himmed, who now practices in Florida, did not return requests for comment.
