Over the past few years, penis enlargement surgery has become one of the most popular and sought-after plastic procedures. Phalloplasty is a reliable and effective method for correcting the length and diameter of the male genital organ.
The one and a half hour operation increases the length of the phallus by 4 to 5 cm and its volume by 3 to 4 cm.
Modern surgery offers several methods to increase penis size. They all have their pros and cons, which every man who decides to undergo phalloplasty should know about.
According to statistics, penis enlargement surgery is the only possible and effective method of correcting the parameters of the reproductive organ, the results of which last throughout life.
Correction methods
Before enlarging the penis through surgery, many men decide to use medications and massagers, which not only do not give the desired results, but can also be harmful to health. According to statistics, more than 30% of men who used tablets and ointments of dubious quality to enlarge their penis are subsequently treated for erectile dysfunction and decreased potency.
Today, penis enlargement surgery is the safest method, with the help of which it is actually possible to add a few precious centimeters to the length and volume of the penis. Plastic surgery offers several basic methods to correct the shape and linear dimensions of the phallus, including:
- ligamentotomy;
- lipofilling;
- muscle tissue transplantation;
- penile prostheses.
It should be understood that penis enlargement by surgery is possible only if there are direct indications. Not all men who are unhappy with the size of their penis are successful in undergoing phalloplasty. According to most andrologists, dissatisfaction with reproductive organ size is largely a psychological problem rather than a functional one.
Surgical indications
Surgical lengthening of the phallus is only possible if there are certain physiological and psychological indications. Correction of the size and shape of the penis allows you to solve not only aesthetic, but also some functional problems. Surgical penis enlargement is indicated for:
- cavernous fibrosis;
- hypospadias;
- injuries to the penis;
- Peyronie's disease;
- epispadias;
- age-related degenerations;
- micropenis syndrome.
In the absence of obvious functional disorders, penis enlargement operations are carried out only if the length of the erect reproductive organ does not reach 8 cm.
It should be noted that serious psychological problems associated with complexes regarding the size of the phallus can affect not only the psycho-emotional state of a man, but also erectile function. According to andrologists, psychological problems are a good reason for phalloplasty and penis size increase.
Ligamentotomy
Any type of surgical procedure associated with penis lengthening is called ligamentotomy. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis only under general anesthesia. Additionally, all necessary surgical procedures take on average no more than 40-50 minutes. According to plastic surgeons, lengthening of the reproductive organ is possible if the suspensory ligament, which "holds" the penis in the male body, is cut.
Thanks to ligamentotomy, the length of the phallus increases on average by 3 to 4 cm. Excision of soft tissues at the base of the genital organ can significantly increase the length of the active part (trunk) of the penis, due to which it visually becomes longer. As practice shows, already 2-3 weeks after resection, parts of the tissue of the suspensory ligament are completely regenerated.
Ligamentotomy does not affect a man’s fertility or erectile function in any way.
On days 2-3 after ligamentotomy, the patient goes home with recommendations on the care of the operated penis and the subsequent wearing of an extender. Due to the good blood supply to the groin area, the patient undergoes a relatively short rehabilitation, which lasts on average 1-2 weeks. Despite the impressive photos found on the Internet, plastic surgery is well tolerated by men.
Penis thickening operations
Not all men strive to increase the length of the reproductive organ. According to statistics, more than 47% of patients who turn to plastic surgeons want to change the diameter of the penis. In this case, there are two ways to enlarge the penis by surgery:
- Lipofilling is a plastic surgery which involves injecting fat, taken from the buttocks or abdomen, into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis. Using a long needle, the surgeon evenly distributes fatty tissue along the shaft of the genital organ, which leads to an increase in its width by 2-2. 5 cm on average;
- Muscle transplantation is a complex operation in which muscle tissue taken from the abdominal wall is transplanted into the penis; During the procedure, the surgeon sutures the vessels to the planted tissues, which then ensures normal blood supply to the reproductive organ.
Lipofilling is a simple procedure that gives a temporary effect, so to maintain the desired result, the operation is performed at least once a year.
Soft tissue transplantation is one of the most difficult and painful operations. However, penis enlargement in this way allows you to maintain the results for the rest of your life. In addition, through transplantation it is possible to increase the diameter of the phallus by at least 3-4 cm.
Prosthetics
Surgical penis enlargement in the presence of erectile dysfunction is called penile prosthesis. Surgical intervention is carried out exclusively in the presence of absolute indications, including impotence, micropenis syndrome and excessive curvature of the phallus during erection. Implantation of a prosthesis made of modern elastic materials allows you to restore erectile function and, as a result, normalize a man's sexual life.
Penile prosthesis is a complex surgical operation contraindicated for people suffering from serious somatic diseases.
Surgical penis enlargement is carried out by the implantation of two penile prostheses made of silicone or vinyl in the corpora cavernosa of the genital organ. Flexible materials have what is called memory capacity. If necessary, the shape of the genital organ can be adjusted independently. However, experts warn that when implanting silicone and vinyl prostheses, the phallus is constantly erect, which causes a lot of discomfort in patients.
Two- and three-component hydraulic prostheses are considered more effective. Special devices include a pressure pump transplanted into the scrotum and stiffness cylinders. The reservoirs are connected to each other by silicone tubes, through which air is pumped from the pump to the cylinders installed in the corpora cavernosa of the penis. The elasticity of an enlarged penis is regulated by the compression of the pump, i. e. scrotumTo relieve an erection, you just need to press the special stopcock, located on the other side of thepump.
Operation results
In recent years, plastic surgery has made enormous advances thanks to the advent of polymer materials and computerized technology. Penis enlargement by surgery allows you to achieve the desired results within a few weeks, during which the patient undergoes a rehabilitation course.
According to practical observations, surgery makes it possible to lengthen the phallus by 3 to 5 cm on average.
The degree of penis elongation is influenced by the individual characteristics of the structure of the external genital organs of a man.
The longer the suspensory ligament of the phallus that can be cut, the more obvious the result will be after phalloplasty.
Doctors draw the attention of patients to the fact that surgical interventions make it possible to lengthen the reproductive organ by a maximum of 3 cm. To achieve better results, during rehabilitation it is advisable to wear special stretchers for the male penis, called extenders. The device is designed to stretch the suspensory ligament of the penis, with the help of which the length of the organ increases by another 1. 5-2 cm.
Contraindications
As already mentioned, surgery aimed at penis enlargement is performed only if there are serious indications. There is also a fairly long list of contraindications to phalloplasty, which is taken into account by andrologists during a preliminary examination of the patient and drawing up a medical report. A plastic surgeon will not perform surgical intervention if there are the following contraindications:
- impaired blood clotting;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- diabetes;
- sexual infections;
- exacerbation of a chronic disease;
- genitourinary diseases;
- oncological diseases.
After the patient has undergone all the necessary types of instrumental diagnostics, the doctor decides on the need for phalloplasty. In the absence of serious contraindications, the specialist sets a day for the operation, and also discusses with the patient all the nuances of rehabilitation therapy.
