In the last few 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.
An hour and a half 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. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages, 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 parameters of the reproductive organ, the results of which last a lifetime.
Correction methods
Before increasing the penis through surgery, many men decide on 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 pills of dubious quality and fat for penis enlargement are subsequently treated for erectile dysfunction and reduced 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 shape and linear dimensions of the phallus, which include:
- ligamentotomy;
- lipofilling;
- muscle tissue transplantation;
- penile prosthetics.
It should be understood that penis enlargement by surgery is possible only if there are direct indications. Not every man who is not satisfied with the size of his penis can undergo phalloplasty. According to most andrologists, dissatisfaction with the size of the reproductive organ is mainly a psychological, not a functional, problem.
Indications for surgery
It is possible to lengthen the phallus surgically only if there are certain physiological and psychological indications. Correction of the size and shape of the penis allows solving not only aesthetic, but also some functional problems. Surgical enlargement of the penis is indicated for:
- cavernous fibrosis;
- hypospadias;
- penile injuries;
- Peyronie's disease;
- epispadias;
- age-related degeneration;
- micropenis syndrome.
In the absence of obvious functional disorders, penis enlargement operations are performed only if the length of the reproductive organ in erection 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 the man, but also the erectile function. According to andrologists, psychological problems are a good reason for phalloplasty and penis enlargement.
Ligamentotomy
Any type of surgery related to the lengthening of the penis is called a ligamentotomy. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis only under general anesthesia. Moreover, all the necessary surgical procedures take no more than 40-50 minutes on average. According to plastic surgeons, lengthening of the reproductive organ is possible if the suspensory ligament that "holds" the penis in the male body is cut.
Thanks to ligamentotomy, the length of the phallus increases by an average of 3-4 cm. Excision of the soft tissue at the base of the genital organ can significantly increase the length of the working part (trunk) of the penis, as a result of which it becomes visually 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.
2-3 days after the ligamentotomy, the patient is discharged home with recommendations for the care of the operated penis and subsequent wearing of the extender. Due to good blood flow to the groin, the patient undergoes a relatively short period of rehabilitation, which lasts 1-2 weeks on average. Despite the impressive photos that can be found on the Internet, men tolerate plastic surgery well.
Penile thickening operations
Not all men seek 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 that involves injecting fat, which is taken from the buttocks or abdomen, into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis. With the help of a long needle, the surgeon evenly distributes the fatty tissue along the axis of the genital organ, due to which its width increases by an average of 2-2. 5 cm;
- muscle transplantation is a complex operation during which muscle tissue taken from the abdominal wall is transplanted into the penis; During the procedure, the surgeon sews blood vessels to the implanted tissues, which then ensures a 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 quite painful operations. However, increasing your penis in this way allows you to keep the results for the rest of your life. In addition, thanks to transplantation, it is possible to increase the diameter of the phallus by at least 3-4 cm.
Prosthetics
Surgical enlargement of the penis in the presence of erectile dysfunction is called penile prosthesis. Surgical intervention is performed only in the presence of absolute indications, which include impotence, micropenis syndrome and excessive curvature of the phallus during erection. Installing a prosthesis made of modern elastic materials allows you to restore erectile function and, accordingly, normalize a man's sexual life.
Penile prosthesis is a complex surgical operation that is contraindicated for people suffering from serious somatic diseases.
Surgical enlargement of the penis results from the installation of two silicone or vinyl penile prostheses in the cavernous bodies 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 upright position, which causes great discomfort to patients.
Two-component and three-component hydraulic prostheses are considered more successful. Special devices consist of a pressure pump, which is transplanted into the scrotum, and rigidity cylinders. The reservoirs are connected to each other by silicone tubes, thanks to which air is pumped from the pump into the cylinders embedded in the cavernous bodies of the penis. The elasticity of the enlarged penis is regulated by the compression of the pump, i. e. scrotumTo alleviate the erection, you simply have to press a special closing valve, which is located on the other side of the pump.
Results of surgery
In the last few years, plastic surgery has taken a huge step forward, thanks to the advent of polymer materials and computerized technology. Penis enlargement with a surgical procedure allows achieving the desired results within a few weeks, during which the patient goes through a rehabilitation course.
According to practical observations, the operation allows you to lengthen the phallus by an average of 3-5 cm.
The degree of penis elongation is influenced by the individual characteristics of the male external genitalia structure.
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 procedures lengthen the reproductive organ by a maximum of 3 cm. To achieve better results, during rehabilitation it is recommended 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, 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 the preliminary examination of the patient and the compilation of a medical report. A plastic surgeon will not undertake surgery if the following contraindications exist:
- impaired blood clotting;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- diabetes;
- sexual infections;
- exacerbation of chronic disease;
- genitourinary diseases;
- oncological diseases.
After the patient has undergone all necessary types of instrumental diagnostics, the doctor decides on the need for phalloplasty. In the absence of serious contraindications, the specialist determines the day for the operation and also discusses with the patient all the nuances of rehabilitation therapy.
