I'm really struggling with my flaccid penis size it's around 4.5 inches and almost looks erect all the time. It's causing me so much embarrassment because people keep staring at my groin area, and I can't even tuck my shirt in for work or formal events. It's making me feel really depressed. Are there any medications or surgeries that could help? Would cosmetic plastic surgery be an option for this?

A flaccid length of 4.5 inches is within normal range. If it's causing psychological distress, consult a urologist or plastic surgeon‚Äîoptions like ligament release exist but are controversial.
