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 performed for the pathology of the micropenis - the length of the penis in maximum stretch or in an erect state does not exceed 4 cm. However, the manipulation can also be carried out at the request of a man if he is not satisfied with the size of the penis.
Before the operation, a man must undergo an examination. It includes laboratory tests and instrumental diagnostics. This is necessary to exclude contraindications, as well as to minimize the risk of complications.
Surgical treatment of short penis length/thickness is carried out by different methods. The choice of method is determined by the qualifications and experience of the doctor, the physiological characteristics of the patient and other nuances. Consider when an operation is needed, what techniques does the doctor use to lengthen and thicken the penis?
Indications and contraindications to surgery
Urologists and andrologists note that insufficient penis size is more of a psychological problem than a functional one. To perform a full-fledged sexual intercourse 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 really largely depends on the size of the phallus.
Penis enlargement surgery has certain indications. However, according to statistics, plastic surgery clinics are more often treated by men whose average size of the reproductive organ is 13-15 centimeters.
In the modern world, there are no strict criteria that determine the norm or deviation in the size of an organ. The main thing is that the thickness and length should be suitable for the man and his partner. Correction of the penis is carried out according to the following medical indications:
- Peyronie's disease.
- Abnormal development (epispadias, hypospadias).
- Consequences of an injury to the penis.
- Decreased tissue elasticity related to age.
- Deficiency of subcutaneous fatty tissue, as a result of which the penis becomes thin.
Assign aesthetic indications, which are caused by a psychological disorder of a man. In this situation, the operation is performed only in cases where working with a psychotherapist or sex therapist did not bring the desired result.
Contraindications to surgery: tumor neoplasms of the genitourinary system, blood coagulation disorders, diseases of a bacterial nature, exacerbation phase of chronic prostate diseases, venereal diseases.
In patients with a history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, vascular atherosclerosis, autoimmune disorders and CNS organ damage, there is an increased risk of postoperative complications.
Before the operation, you need to weigh the pros and cons again.
Lengthening of the penis - ligamentotomy
Before the operation, preparation is necessary. It includes examining the patient for medical contraindications. The reaction of the body to the drugs used for anesthesia is determined - this is necessary to exclude the development of an allergic reaction.
The technique of lengthening the penis 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 released during the manipulation is filled over time with connective tissue - it is formed during tissue regeneration in the postoperative period.
The seam at the incision site heals quickly, scars / scars do not remain. The manipulation is quite safe, since the blood vessels and muscles are not affected, respectively, the procedure does not affect potency and erectile function.
After the operation, a pain syndrome, swelling of the reproductive organ is revealed. The pain is relieved by taking painkillers. Then the patient should wear an expander - a special device that helps to consolidate the achieved result. If the device is not worn, the effectiveness of surgical treatment is reduced to zero. The duration of wearing is determined individually - 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;
- Rarely develop postoperative complications;
- Quick result of phallus enlargement.
The cost of the operation depends on the medical institution, the pricing policy of the clinic, the experience and qualifications of the surgeon.
Increase penis thickness
Men want to increase not only the length, but also the thickness of the penis. "Expansion" of virility seems to be a more complex procedure, since the penis is equipped with a developed system of innervation and blood circulation.
The issue of penis thickening should be approached consciously, weighing all the risks, because an unsuccessful operation can cost an intimate life if the doctor accidentally hits a vessel or nerve bundle.
Before enlarging the penis, the doctor prescribes a comprehensive examination. The patient should additionally consult an anesthetist and a cardiologist. If the man is healthy, the day of the operation is scheduled.
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 |
|---|---|
| Transplantation of a flap of own tissue | Take a piece of muscle from the anterior abdominal wall, place it under the skin of the phallus |
| Introduction under the skin of a biological matrix made of polymeric material | A matrix is implanted in the penis. Over time, it becomes overgrown with 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 very first method used to enlarge the penis was a transplant of its own tissue. Such manipulation gives a guaranteed result of increasing the thickness of the penis, which remains for life.
Implanted tissues over a certain period of time become a full part of the penis, have their own blood supply. The minuses include the risk of rejection, prolonged sexual abstinence, constant monitoring by a doctor.
Most often, a biological matrix is implanted. Within 12 months, the material completely takes root, tissues and blood vessels grow in it, which reveals a lifelong effect.
You can have sex no earlier than 2-2. 5 months after the procedure.
Possible complications
With penis enlargement, complications are rare. Against the background of increasing the thickness of the penis - a little more often, but the risk can be leveled if you follow all the doctor's recommendations. However, a medical error during surgery or non-compliance with the rules of the rehabilitation period can increase the risk of complications.
The consequences can be divided into early and late. In the first variant, a pain syndrome is involved - this is a variant of the norm.
When an infection is introduced, inflammation develops, up to a purulent process. 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 independently leveled within six months.
Late complications:
- Changing the angle of erection.
- Weak erection.
- Shortening of the penis.
- Deformation of the phallus.
- 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 qualification of the doctor, as well as modern equipment.
