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.
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 penis size. They all have their pros and cons, which every man who decides to have 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 a lifetime.
Correction methods
Before enlarging their penis through surgery, many men decide to use medications and massagers, which not only do not provide the desired results, but can be harmful to their health. According to statistics, more than 30% of men who used pills of dubious quality 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 really possible to add a few estimated 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 transplant;
- penile prostheses.
It should be understood that penis enlargement through surgery is possible only if there are direct indications. Not every man who is not satisfied with the size of his penis is 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. Correction of the size and shape of the penis makes it possible to solve not only aesthetic problems, but also some functional problems. Surgical penis enlargement is indicated for:
- cavernous fibrosis;
- hypospadias;
- penis injuries;
- 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 reproductive organ in an erect state does not reach 8 cm.
It should be noted that serious psychological problems associated with phallus size complexes 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 increasing penis size.
Ligamentotomy
Any type of surgery associated with lengthening the penis is called ligamentotomy. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis only under general anesthesia. Furthermore, 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 man's 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 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 in any way affect a man's fertility or erectile function.
On the 2nd-3rd day after the ligamentotomy, the patient is discharged home with recommendations for care of the operated penis and subsequent use of an extender. Due to the good blood supply to the groin area, the patient undergoes a relatively short course of rehabilitation, which lasts an average of 1-2 weeks. Despite the impressive photos that can be 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 a plastic surgeon want to change the diameter of their penis. In this case, there are two ways to enlarge the penis through surgery:
- Lipofilling is a plastic surgery that involves injecting fat, taken from the buttocks or abdomen, into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis. Using a long needle, the surgeon evenly distributes the adipose tissue along the shaft of the genital organ, causing its width to increase 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 sutures vessels to the planted tissues, which subsequently ensures normal blood supply to the reproductive organ.
Lipofilling is a simple procedure that gives a temporary effect, therefore, 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, penis enlargement 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.
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, 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 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 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 erect, 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, which is transplanted into the scrotum, and booster cylinders. The reservoirs are connected to each other by silicone tubes, thanks to 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 the erection, simply press the special shut-off valve, which is located on the other side of the pump.
Operation results
In recent years, plastic surgery has made great advances, thanks to the advent of polymeric materials and computerized technology. Penis enlargement through surgery allows you to achieve the desired results in a few weeks, during which the patient undergoes a course of rehabilitation.
According to practical observations, surgery 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 structure of a man's external genitalia.
The longer the suspensory ligament of the phallus 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 by no more than 3 cm. To obtain 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, as a result of which the length of the organ increases by another 1. 5-2 cm.
Contraindications
As already mentioned, penis enlargement surgery is only performed if there are serious indications. There is also a fairly extensive list of contraindications for phalloplasty, which is taken into account by andrologists during the preliminary examination of the patient and drawing up a medical report. The plastic surgeon will not perform surgery 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 passed all types of necessary instrumental diagnostics, the doctor decides on the need for phalloplasty. In the absence of serious contraindications, the specialist appoints a day for the operation and also discusses with the patient all the nuances of rehabilitation therapy.
