In recent years, penis enlargement surgery has become one of the most popular and sought after plastic procedures. Phalloplasty is a reliable and effective method of correcting the length and diameter of the male genital organ.
The one and a half hour operation allows you to increase the length of the phallus by 4-5 cm and its volume by 3-4 cm.
Modern surgery offers several methods to increase the size of the penis. They all have their pros and cons, which every man who decides to undergo phalloplasty surgery should know.
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 a lifetime.
Correction methods
Before enlarging the penis by surgery, many men decide to use drugs 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 ways to correct the linear shape and size of the phallus, which include:
- ligamentotomy;
- lipofilling;
- muscle tissue transplant;
- penile prosthesis.
It should be understood that penis enlargement through surgery is possible only 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 possible only if there are certain physiological and psychological indications. Correcting the size and shape of the penis allows you to solve not only aesthetic, but also functional problems. Surgical penis enlargement is indicated for:
- cavernous fibrosis;
- hypospadias;
- penile injury;
- 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 the erect state does not reach 8 cm.
It should be noted that serious psychological problems associated with complexes of 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 to resort to phalloplasty and increase the size of the penis.
Ligamentotomy
Any type of surgery associated with penis lengthening is called a ligamentotomy. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis only under general anesthesia. Moreover, 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 suspensatory ligament, which "holds" the penis in the man's body, is cut.
Thanks to ligamentotomy, the length of the phallus increases on average by 3-4 cm. Excision of the soft tissues at the base of the genital organ can significantly increase the length of the working part (trunk) of the penis, due to which it visually becomes longer . As practice shows, already 2-3 weeks after resection, parts of the suspensatory ligament tissue are completely regenerated.
Ligamentotomy does not affect a man's fertility or erectile function in any way.
In days 2-3 after ligamentotomy, the patient is discharged home with recommendations for 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 cycle, which on average lasts 1-2 weeks. Despite the impressive photos that can be found on the Internet, plastic surgery is well tolerated by men.
Operations for penis thickening
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 procedure that involves the injection of fat, taken from the buttocks or abdomen, into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis. Using a long needle, the surgeon evenly distributes adipose tissue along the shaft of the genital organ, as a result of which its width increases on average by 2-2. 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 the vessels to the planted tissues, subsequently ensuring 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 transplant is one of the most difficult and rather painful operations. However, penis enlargement this way allows you to maintain the results for the rest of your life. Furthermore, thanks to the transplant, 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. The 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 with modern elastic materials allows you to restore erectile function and, consequently, normalize a man's sexual life.
Penile prosthesis is a complex surgical procedure that is contraindicated for people suffering from serious somatic diseases.
Surgical penis enlargement occurs through the implantation of two silicone or vinyl penile prostheses in the corpora cavernosa of the genital organ. Flexible materials have so-called memory capacity. If necessary, the shape of the genital organ can be adjusted independently. However, experts warn that when silicone and vinyl implants 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 most successful. Special devices consist of a pressure pump, which is transplanted into the scrotum, and rigidity cylinders. The tanks are connected to each other by silicone tubes, thanks to which air is pumped from the pump into the cylinders installed in the corpora cavernosa of the penis. The elasticity of an enlarged penis is adjusted by squeezing the pump, i. e. scrotum. To relieve erection, it is enough to press the special shut-off valve, which is located on the other side of the pump.
Results of the operation
In recent years, plastic surgery has made enormous progress, thanks to the advent of polymeric materials and computerized technology. Penis enlargement through surgery allows you to obtain the desired results within a few weeks, during which the patient undergoes a rehabilitation process.
According to practical observations, surgical intervention allows you to lengthen the phallus by an average of 3-5 cm.
The degree of penis enlargement is influenced by the individual characteristics of the structure of the external genitalia of the man.
The longer the suspensatory ligament of the phallus that can be cut, the more noticeable the result after phalloplasty will be.
Doctors draw the attention of patients to the fact that surgical interventions help to lengthen the reproductive organ by up to 3 cm. For best results, it is advisable to wear special male penis stretchers, called extenders, during rehabilitation. The device is designed to stretch the suspensatory 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 to enlarge the penis is performed only if there are serious indications. There is also a fairly large list of contraindications to phalloplasty, which andrologists take into account when preliminary examining the patient and drawing up a medical report. A plastic surgeon will not perform surgery if there are the following contraindications:
- impaired blood coagulation;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- 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.
