At 37 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo remains an elite athlete who best preserves his physical condition with the aim of avoiding retirement from the Beautiful Game as long as possible. The ingredients of this extended success harvested by the current Manchester United player throughout his career has included a focus on a healthy diet and lifestyle, as well as regimented exercise routines before and after training.

But length, it would appear, is not the only desire for the former Real Madrid superstar.

In addition to the lifestyle habits to elongate his playing career, another incentive has sprung up, related to the botox that Ronaldo has undergone on several occasions to combat wrinkles on his face.

A few days ago, it came to light that Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo had undergone a surgery to have botox injected into his genitalia.

According to Spanish newspaper, La Razón, the footballer has subjected himself to a new treatment, but in a different and more intimate area of the body, his genitals.

The 37-year-old Portuguese star’s most recent cosmetic touch-up has been thoroughly described by specialist Dr. Esteban Sarmentero, who explained the procedure to Radio MARCA.

“The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo has had Botox injections is probably for two reasons: to smooth out and prevent the scrotum from contracting so that the testicles appear to have more volume”, explained Sarmentero.

The expert confirmed that the player had the treatment done, but he said it was only “a few little injections” and “an aesthetic touch-up,” not an operation.

Dr. Sarmentero responded to the questions of David Sanchez, the presenter, questions by stating that these injections “do not hurt”. He told Radio MARCA’s listeners that botox, which is frequently used on other parts of the body like the face, has lately been discovered to have a new application.

“It is a purely aesthetic use that has no other intention than to improve male genitalia,” he said.

However, according to Esteban Sarmentero, the effects of this form of Botox-based retouching only last around six months.

“There are two injections a year, every six months you have to have the retouching done to be fine all year round,” Sarmentero stated.

He also used his appearance on Despierta San Francisco as an opportunity to clarify that although being close, it is unrelated to the penis enlargement procedure.

“That is an operation, you need local anaesthesia, they are not injectables, so you have to cut and sew”, Sarmentero told journalist David Sanchez.

A viral reason for the penis enlargement

The treatment is said to be from a simply aesthetic point of view, through the application of botulinum toxin, Botox as it’s more commonly known, which aims to increase the girth of his penis. Scientific studies cited support the idea that the thickness of the member increases between 1.0 and 2.5 centimeters in circumference with this procedure, the effect expected to last for at least two years, at which point Cristiano would likely return to a clinic to undergo this treatment again, if it proves effective.

“It is a soft, gel-like substance that occurs naturally in the body. A standard treatment can increase the flaccid girth by 2-3 cm, and raise the girth by 1-2.5 cm, with effects lasting 18 to 24 months,” says Mohamad El-Ahmed, one of the first men to inject botox into their genitals.

This aesthetic technique, very frequented and demanded by porn actors, offers personal satisfaction due to the great results it boasts. It is worth noting, however, that the guarantee and success is not guaranteed for all patients. Given that CR7 models for his own underwear brand, some fans will be keeping a close eye on the results.
