Cosmetic surgeon reveals the VERY surprising $7,700 procedure hundreds of Australian men are booking in for post-lockdown
- Dr Naomi McCullum is the founder of The Manse Clinic in Sydney's east
- The medical clinic reopened for most aesthetic procedures in early May
- Dr Naomi has seen an influx in old and new clients returning to get work done
- But there have also been three times more men wanting penis enlargements
- Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19
An Australian cosmetic surgeon has revealed that three times more men than usual have come into her clinic for penis enlargement surgery since the lockdown restrictions eased.
Dr Naomi McCullum is the founder of The Manse Clinic in Sydney's opulent eastern suburbs and was forced to shut aesthetic services from March 25 in line with the coronavirus health orders.
She was able to re-open for most procedures in early May, and bring back skin and laser appointments from June 1, but has been left baffled by the amount of male clients coming in for an augmentation.
'I cannot explain why but we've had a significant increase in the number of penis enlargements we perform per week at The Manse post-COVID,' Dr Naomi told FEMAIL.

Perhaps, she said, it has to do with the amount of time Australians have been spending at home - and in the bedroom.
Men can expect up to a 30 per cent increase in girth after undergoing the procedure, which uses dermal filler for the penile augmentation.
The effects of the dermal filler last up to two years - and there are no changes to the function of the penis.
The $7,700 procedure takes 45 minutes to do and there is no downtime for the patient, although they are asked to refrain from sexual intercourse for a week.

In general The Manse in Paddington has seen a huge influx of new patients since reopening and is completely booked out - as is the brand's new cosmetic clinic in Sydney's CBD.
'We didn't realise that demand would be as great as it has been,' Dr Naomi said.
'Our doctors specialise in face design, so patients are usually not just booking in for one area.
'We are managing their beauty and ageing holistically, so usually it's a combination of antiwrinkle injections, dermal fillers, double chin dissolving injections, threadlifts, skinboosters, lasers, IPL, resurfacing and platelet rich plasma.'
Dr Naomi has noticed that plenty of the patients she has seen in the last month have been choosing procedures that require more downtime (one of her clients pictured)
Dr Naomi said people who were overdue for their treatments were getting frustrated when The Manse had to reschedule them, but they understood that it was for the good of the community
Dr Naomi has noticed that plenty of the patients she has seen in the last month have been choosing procedures that require more downtime.
'They're less worried about the bruising or the swelling from injectables or the downtime from skin procedures because they are "working from home" and are more hidden from their colleagues,' she said.
'Patients are making the most of the current normalisation of mask wearing, so if they have their lips or their nasolabial folds done, they can wear a mask for the next couple of days while the swelling calms down.'
For many 'hardcore beauty achievers' the coronavirus restrictions left them feeling unhappy and 'not themselves' because they couldn't get the regular check ups they desired.

'Cosmetic doctors make such a difference to people's mental state with our treatments, and in the first month when we returned, the main feeling from our patients was one of gratitude, which makes it very rewarding for us,' she said.
'They consider our clinic and team part of their "normal life" and felt more happy and free when they could get back to their routine, with us looking after their beauty and age management.'
