In recent years, penis enlargement surgery has become one of the most popular and requested plastic procedures. Phalloplasty is a reliable and effective method to correct the length and diameter of the male genital organ.
The one and a half hour operation allows the length of the phallus to be increased 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 be aware of.
According to statistics, penis enlargement surgery is the only possible and effective method to correct the parameters of the reproductive organ, the results of which last a lifetime.
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 use dubious tablets and ointments to enlarge the 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 possible to add a few precious centimeters to the length and volume of the penis. Plastic surgery offers several basic ways to correct the shape and linear dimensions of the phallus, including:
- ligamentotomy;
- lipofilling;
- muscle tissue transplant;
- penile prosthesis.
It should be understood that surgical penis enlargement is only possible if there are direct indications. Not all men who are dissatisfied with the size of their penis are able to undergo phalloplasty. According to most andrologists, dissatisfaction with the size of the reproductive organ is largely a psychological problem rather than a functional one.
Indications for surgery
Surgical lengthening of the phallus is only possible if there are certain physiological and psychological indications. Correcting the size and shape of the penis allows you to solve not only aesthetic problems, but also functional ones. 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 performed only if the length of the reproductive organ in an erect state does not reach 8 cm.
It should be noted that serious psychological problems associated with complexes about 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 enlargement.
Ligamentotomy
Any type of surgery associated with penis enlargement is called a ligamentotomy. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis only under general anesthesia. In addition, all necessary surgical procedures last on average no more than 40 to 50 minutes. According to plastic surgeons, it is possible to lengthen the reproductive organ if the suspensory ligament that "holds" the penis to the man's body is cut.
Thanks to ligamentotomy, the length of the phallus increases by an average of 3 to 4 cm. Excision of the soft tissue at the base of the genital organ can significantly increase the length of the functional part (trunk) of the penis, as a result of which it visually becomes longer. As practice shows, already 2-3 weeks after resection, parts of the suspensory ligament tissue 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 is discharged home with recommendations for the care of the operated penis and the subsequent use of an extender. Due to the good blood supply to the groin area, the patient undergoes a relatively short rehabilitation course, lasting on average 1 to 2 weeks. Despite the impressive photographs that can be found on the Internet, men tolerate plastic surgery well.
Penis thickening operations.
Not all men strive to increase the length of the reproductive organ. According to statistics, more than 47% of patients who come to plastic surgeons want to change the diameter of the penis. In this case, there are two ways to enlarge the penis through surgery:
- Lipofilling is a plastic surgery that involves injecting fat, which is extracted from the buttocks or abdomen, into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis. Using a long needle, the surgeon evenly distributes adipose tissue along the axis of the genital organ, as a result of which its width increases by an average of 2 to 2. 5 cm;
- Muscle transplant is a complex operation during which muscle tissue taken from the abdominal wall is transplanted into the penis; During the procedure, the surgeon sutures vessels to the implanted tissues, which subsequently 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, enlarging the penis in this way allows you to maintain the results for the rest of your life. In addition, thanks to the transplant, it is possible to increase the diameter of the phallus by at least 3-4 cm.
Prosthesis
Surgical enlargement of the penis in the presence of erectile dysfunction is called penile prosthesis. Surgical intervention is carried out exclusively in the presence of absolute indications, which include impotence, micropenis syndrome and excessive curvature of the phallus during erection. The implantation of a prosthesis made of modern elastic materials makes it possible to restore erectile function and, consequently, normalize a man's sexual life.
Penile prosthesis is a complex surgical operation that is contraindicated for people suffering from serious somatic diseases.
Surgical penis enlargement occurs by implanting two silicone or vinyl penile prostheses in the corpora cavernosa of the genital organ. Flexible materials have a so-called memory capacity. If necessary, the shape of the genital organ can be adjusted independently. However, experts warn that when silicone and vinyl prostheses are implanted, the phallus is constantly in an erect state, which causes a lot of discomfort to patients.
Two- and three-component hydraulic prostheses are considered more successful. Special devices consist of a pressure pump that is transplanted into the scrotum and rigid cylinders. The tanks are connected to each other using silicone tubes, thanks to which air is pumped from the pump to the cylinders installed in the cavernous bodies of the penis. The elasticity of an enlarged penis is regulated by compressing the pump, i. e. scrotumTo relieve an erection, you simply need to press the special shut-off valve, which is located on the other side of the pump.
Operation results
In recent years, plastic surgery has advanced enormously thanks to the arrival of polymer materials and computerized technology. Surgical penis enlargement makes it possible to achieve the desired results in a few weeks, during which the patient undergoes a rehabilitation course.
According to practical observations, the surgery allows the phallus to be lengthened by an average of 3 to 5 cm.
The degree of penis lengthening is influenced by the individual characteristics of the structure of the man's external genitalia.
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 help to lengthen the reproductive organ up to a maximum of 3 cm. To achieve better results, during rehabilitation it is advisable to use 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, penis enlargement surgery is performed only if there are serious indications. There is also a fairly extensive list of contraindications for phalloplasty, which andrologists take into account during a preliminary examination of the patient and drawing up a medical report. A plastic surgeon will not perform surgery if the following contraindications exist:
- impaired blood coagulation;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- diabetes;
- sexual infections;
- exacerbation of a chronic disease;
- genitourinary diseases;
- oncological diseases.
After the patient undergoes all the necessary types of instrumental diagnostics, the doctor decides on the need for phalloplasty. In the absence of serious contraindications, the specialist sets the day of the operation and also discusses with the patient all the nuances of rehabilitation therapy.
