A Bronx man claims he was left in agony \u2014 and dying of embarrassment \u2014 after a penis-enlargement-gone-wrong<\/a> at a New York City men\u2019s clinic.<\/p>\n

He blames Best Man Manhattan and Dr. Amanuel Samad Himmed for botching the \u201cpenile enhancement\u201d treatments<\/a>, according to a lawsuit filed Sept. 17 in Manhattan Supreme Court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clinic, which boasts \u201cNew York\u2019s leading penis enlargement specialists,\u201d offers a nonsurgical procedure involving microinjections of phallic fillers into the genitals to \u201cstimulate collagen production for permanent, lifetime enlargement,\u201d according to its website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Best Man pitches the unorthodox procedure \u2014 which costs up to $14,950 \u2014 as a way for men to boost their confidence and sex lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the 31-year-old, whose name is being withheld for privacy, claims the treatments did the opposite \u2013 leaving his manhood aching, deformed and unable to function.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He first got the penis-plumping filler<\/a> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both rounds involved 85 milligrams\u00a0of Dimethicone Oil \u2013 a clear, odorless silicone-based polymer commonly used in cosmetic procedures, the suit says.<\/p>\n

After the second treatment, he \u201cdeveloped progressive abnormalities and complications, including pain, deformity, skin changes and impairment of sexual and penile function,\u201d according to the filing, which seeks unspecified\u00a0damages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he has endured has been horrific, and he is doing his best to deal with the ongoing repercussions,\u201d his attorney Ben Bartolotta told The Post.<\/p>\n
