Penis enlargement surgery - characteristics and consequences of ligamentotomy

An increase in the length or width of the penis can affect a man's psycho-emotional health. A small penis tends to ridicule the beautiful half of humanity and is also capable of causing neurotic states and severe mental illness in most patients. One of the effective methods of changing the size of masculinity is a ligamentotomy - an operation to enlarge the penis.

What are the methods of penis enlargement

There are many fictitious rumors and legends around the male penis, but it should be understood that from a physiological point of view, the normal length of the penis fits between 12-18 cm in an erection state.

Effective penis enlargement is possible not only by surgery, but also by various methods that do not require surgical intervention on the man's body. These include:

  • The use of vacuum pumps promotes significant blood flow to the man's penis. After achieving a stable erection, the penis is pressed at the base by all types of devices, for example, latex rings. This technique prevents blood flow from the cavernous bodies of the penis and its length increases by several centimeters compared to a normal physiological erection without several auxiliaries. However, it must be remembered that the use of a vacuum pump is not a therapeutic method, but is based on the physiological characteristics of the male body. After stopping the use of vacuum devices, the penis immediately assumes its normal size. Note that the disadvantage of using pumps can be swelling of the organ, the presence of bruises from ruptured blood vessels, as well as the impaired erectile capacity of the penis.
  • The use of all sorts of weights, devices and "special" exercises aimed at penis enlargement is nothing more than advertising campaigns by dubious manufacturers that produce "effective" devices that guarantee instant results. Male genitals cannot be inflated or stretched with weights or dumbbells. Its use can cause organ damage or rupture of the ligaments that hold the penis. "Pulling" the penis can only be performed after surgical treatment under the supervision of a treatment specialist using special extenders (combined augmentation method). These devices can be used without surgery. Its effectiveness is quite high.

Advice:in order to avoid wasting money and subsequent disappointments, you should not buy all kinds of topical creams and other "curative" drugs designed to increase the volume of the penis. They carry no therapeutic burden and are completely ineffective.

Ligamentotomy

Ligamentotomy can be justified if the length of the penis does not exceed 10 cm in an erect state

This operation aims to increase the male genital organ by transection and subsequent fixation of the pelvic ligament, responsible for supporting the penis. Thanks to this method, doctors are able to release about 3-5 cm from the inside of the penis. Previously, similar surgical techniques were performed with circumcision of the penis foreskin in men. Modern methods make it possible to avoid this and preserve it with a parallel enlargement of the genital organ.

Ligamentotomy is considered a simple operation (not as difficult as amputation of the penis) and lasts about half an hour. It should be noted that with an enlarged genital organ, an operation on the testicles in men can be performed in parallel (for example, if pathologies are found, an operation on a varicocele may be prescribed), however, the convenience of such anintervention can only be determined by the attending physician. After penile plastic surgery, the patient can stay in the urology hospital for about a day. After a period of two weeks after the ligamentotomy, the stitches are removed.

Advice:to avoid divergence of surgical sutures on the penis, it is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse after ligamentotomy for up to 3 weeks.

For 4-5 weeks it is necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse in order not to harm the penis

An increase in the thickness of the male genital organ is possible. For this, a non-traumatic operation is performed: a puncture of the skin of the penis is performed with a special tool to inject the patient's own adipose tissue or a special gel. Once performed, a protective bandage is applied to the penis.

Note that this operation can lead to the location of adipose tissue in a certain location of the penis, which leads to its irregularities and organ tuberosity. To avoid complications and inflammation of the tissues, several polymeric phalloprostheses are used to increase the thickness of the penis, providing an aesthetic appearance of the organ and not impairing the deterioration of the quality of its functionality.

Post-operative characteristics

The most effective way to lengthen the penis is considered a combined technique, which involves the use of an extender after surgery and the use of jelqing (giving special massages for the genital to change its length). Consider the features of these methods:

  • Using an extensor after surgery can significantly improve the effect of organ enlargement. In addition, this device helps to correct your curvature and restore the correct anatomical position. The younger the patient, the more noticeable the effect of using the combined method.
  • As for jelqing, this massage technique should be performed after operative stretching of the organ for 2-3 months every day for at least 1 hour a day. The manipulations of the massage on the penis are performed by the patient with the hands in an erect state of the organ and consist of stretching it. With jelqing, there is an increase in the blood supply to the penis and its increase in size.

Before deciding on a step as important as penis enlargement by surgery, one should think about the fact that, despite its effectiveness, no specialist will be able to predict the final result. Possible postoperative complications include scarring of the tissues of the penis and infection. In addition, there is often a decrease in the sensitivity of the organ, making it possible to change the position of the penis during erection, as long as its initial anatomical position is disturbed, and even the development of impotence (extremely rare).

No more than a third of all patients are satisfied with the result of the operative enlargement of the male genital organ. As practice shows, an organ can be lengthened by 1 to 4 cm. No surgeon can give accurate guarantees.
