Surgical penis enlargement is a radical method that helps men get rid of complexes, sexual fears, low self-esteem and other problems associated with insufficient length or thickness of the reproductive organ.
The operation has certain indications. A medical procedure is carried out for the pathology of the micropenis - the length of the penis at maximum elongation or in a state of erection is not more than 4 cm. However, manipulation can also be performed at the request of a man if he is not satisfied with his penis size.
Before the operation, a man needs to pass an examination. Includes laboratory tests and instrumental diagnoses. This is necessary to exclude contraindications, as well as to minimize the likelihood of complications.
Surgical treatment of the short length/thickness of the penis is performed by different methods. The choice of method is determined by the physician's qualifications and experience, the patient's physiological characteristics and other nuances. Consider when an operation is needed, what techniques does the doctor use to lengthen and thicken the penis?
Indications and contraindications for surgery
Urologists and andrologists note that insufficient penis size is more of a psychological problem than a functional one. To carry out a full-fledged sexual relationship and conceive a child, a penis of 8 centimeters in length is enough. But this information does not console the representatives of the stronger sex, since the quality of sex depends a lot on the size of the phallus.
Penis enlargement surgery has certain indications. However, according to statistics, plastic surgery clinics are most often treated by men who have an average reproductive organ size of 13 to 15 centimeters.
In the modern world, there are no rigid criteria that determine the norm or deviation in the size of an organ. The main thing is that the thickness and length are suitable for both the man and his partner. Penis correction is carried out according to the following medical indications:
- Peyronie's disease.
- Abnormal development (epispadias, hypospadias).
- Consequences of an injury to the penis.
- Age-related decrease in tissue elasticity.
- Deficiency of subcutaneous fatty tissue, as a result of which the penis becomes thin.
Allocate aesthetic indications, which are caused by a psychological disorder of a man. In this situation, the operation is carried out only in cases where working with a psychotherapist or sex therapist has not given the desired result.
Contraindications to surgery: tumor neoplasms in the genitourinary system, blood clotting disorders, diseases of a bacterial nature, stage of exacerbation of chronic diseases of the prostate, venereal diseases.
In patients with a history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, vascular atherosclerosis, autoimmune disorders, and organic CNS lesions, there is an increased risk of postoperative complications.
Before the operation, you need to weigh the pros and cons again.
Penis lengthening - ligamentotomy
Before the operation, preparation is necessary. Includes examination of the patient for medical contraindications. The body's reaction to drugs used for anesthesia is determined - this is necessary to exclude the development of an allergic reaction.
The penis stretching technique is based on an incision along the suture of the scrotum or in the pubic area (pubic technology). The increase in length is observed due to the release of the hidden part of the reproductive organ, which "hides under the pubic bone". The free space that the surgeon freed up during manipulation is filled over time with connective tissue - it is formed during post-operative tissue regeneration.
The stitching at the incision site heals quickly, scars/scars do not remain. Manipulation is quite safe, as blood vessels and muscles are not affected, respectively, the procedure does not affect potency and erectile function.
After the operation, pain syndrome, swelling of the reproductive organ is revealed. Pain is relieved by taking painkillers. Then the patient needs to use an extender - a special device that helps to consolidate the achieved result. If the device is not used, the effectiveness of surgical treatment will be reduced to zero. The duration of use is determined individually - it varies from 3 weeks to 2-3 months.
Ligamentotomy has the following advantages:
- Does not affect erectile function;
- Does not affect the organs of the genitourinary system;
- They rarely develop postoperative complications;
- Quick result of phallus enlargement.
The cost of the operation depends on the medical institution, the clinic's pricing policy, and the surgeon's experience and qualifications.
Increasing the thickness of the penis
Men want to increase not only the length but also the thickness of the penis. The "expansion" of masculinity appears to be a more complex procedure, as the penis is equipped with a developed system of innervation and blood circulation.
The issue of penis thickening must be approached consciously, weighing all the risks, as an unsuccessful operation can cost an intimate life if the doctor accidentally touches a vessel or nerve bundle.
Before enlarging the penis, the doctor prescribes a thorough examination. In addition, the patient needs to visit an anesthesiologist and a cardiologist. If the man is in good health, the day of the operation is set.
In plastic surgery, there are several methods that increase the thickness of the penis. They are based on the transplantation under the skin of various materials:
| operation method | Features of |
|---|---|
| Flap transplantation of own tissue | Take part of the anterior abdominal wall muscle, place it under the phallus skin |
| Introduction under the skin of a biological matrix made of polymeric material | A matrix is implanted in the penis. Over time, it becomes covered in tissue, which enlarges the penis. |
| The introduction of fillers - fatty tissue or synthetic substances | The doctor evenly distributes the liquid graft around the circumference of the penis, which thickens the penis |
The choice of method depends on the physiological characteristics of the patient. The first method used to enlarge the penis was a transplant of the tissues themselves. Such manipulation gives a guaranteed result of increasing the thickness of the penis, which lasts for a lifetime.
Tissues implanted over a certain period of time become a complete part of the penis, they have their own blood supply. The minus includes the risk of rejection, prolonged sexual abstinence, constant monitoring by a doctor.
Most of the time, a biological matrix is implanted. Within 12 months, the material takes root completely, tissues and blood vessels grow into it, resulting in a lifelong effect.
You can have sex no earlier than 2-2, 5 months after the procedure.
Possible complications
With penis elongation, complications are rare. Against the background of an increase in the thickness of the penis - a little more often, but the risk can be evened out if you follow all the doctor's recommendations. However, a medical error during surgery or failure to comply with the rules of the rehabilitation period can increase the likelihood of complications.
The consequences can be divided into early and late. In the first variant, a pain syndrome is implied - this is a variant of the norm.
When an infection is introduced, inflammation develops, up to a purulent process. The treatment is revision surgery.
After the procedure, the sensitivity of the head of the penis may decrease, which affects sensations during intimacy. As a rule, this side effect is leveled off independently within six months.
Late complications:
- Changing the erection angle.
- Weak erection.
- Penis shortening.
- Phallus deformity.
- Premature ejaculation.
- Soft tissue necrosis.
To exclude complications, it is necessary to carefully approach the choice of clinic and attending physician.
Plastic surgery uses complex techniques that require responsibility, attention and high qualifications from the doctor, in addition to modern equipment.
