In a bid to boost his manhood, Szilveszter injected his penis with hot Vaseline.

But the dad-of-two was left writhing in pain after his manhood started bleeding a few months later.

"I was talking to my friend about wanting to lose weight so my penis would look bigger when he replied, 'You don’t need to lose weight – I can help you,’” he explained on the last series of TLC show Extreme Beauty Disasters.

Szilveszter’s friend convinced him that it was a good idea to inject Vaseline into his penis – in a bid to make it look bigger.

“My friend injected my penis with Vaseline. Afterwards I was happy as it looked bigger," said Szilveszter.

But just a few months later, the DIY penis enlargement backfired when he began experiencing problems down below.

“It was painful and bleeding. I went to my GP, but he said he couldn’t help me," said Szilveszter.

"It hurt so much I had to stop having sex with my wife. It was the worst mistake of my life."

Szilveszter turned to Extreme Beauty Disasters resident plastic surgeon Dr Vik Vijh who said there was hope he could be cured – but it wouldn't be easy.

Dr Vijh explained: “Your body has formed scar tissue around the Vaseline because it's a foreign body, your body is trying to ward it off and it gives you these painful lumps, it will soon start to ulcer through the skin.

“The other problem is the foreskin is swelling and splitting – the foreskin is 15 times more swollen than should be.”

The cosmetic surgeon had to peel his penis like a banana to remove the scar tissue underneath.

And now, thanks to his delicate work, Szilveszter has a fully-functioning penis.

He has also learned his lesson about DIY surgeries.

“I am much better. It has healed well, it's pain-free and working. I can have sex with my wife again," he said.

“Many people said we can't help you. Dr Vijh did a perfect job, he has changed my life.”
