Nowadays, penis enlargement surgery is becoming more and more popular. And this is due to the fact that part of the male population has complexes the size of the penis, even if there is no problem. There are several ways to enlarge the genitals, but not all methods have a long-term effect, unlike surgery.
Is it possible to enlarge the penis surgically?
Surgical enlargement of the male genitalia is of course possible. The desire to have surgery is not always related to the fact that the problem actually exists. Often, owners of normal penis size can also get such complexes. Most men believe that sexual success and fertility depend on the value of dignity, but this is not the case.
The normal penis size is 12 cm to 18 cm when erect. A small penis from 9 cm to 12 cm in size is considered. There are also owners of micropenis, which is less than 8 cm in length and can reach 2 cm (in the case of an erection).
Penis enlargement surgery should have instructions and should not be performed simply because of male complexes. If you are dissatisfied with the size of the desire to enlarge the phallus, you should also visit a psychotherapist or sexologist, if the indicators correspond to the average values.
Surgical penis enlargement is needed only in some cases:
- As a rule, the revolution of the penis, which is characterized by a decrease in muscle tone and tissue elasticity, usually occurs in old age. With the development of involution, the surgeon will not insist on surgery, and the decision to enlarge the phallus will remain at the discretion of the patient. After all, sexual activity decreases with age, so many older men accept this phenomenon completely calmly.
- Acquired organ deformities or intrauterine abnormalities. Congenital defects of the male organ include the underdevelopment of the bony urethra, which causes the phallus to bend towards the scrotum (hypospadias).
- Underdevelopment of the urethra (episodes). Acquired deformities include all types of penile injuries of varying severity.
- Micropenis is one of the conditions that involves increasing the size of a man through surgery.
If the patient wants to have surgery to enlarge the phallus without any instructions, the doctor will most likely try to distract him and will probably suggest other methods to change the size of the penis.
Among other things, surgical repair and enlargement of a man's phallus is a very expensive procedure.
Types of operations
There are several ways to enlarge the male genitalia:
Falloprosthesis
Phalloprosthetics involves the placement of a prosthesis in a man's penis. This type of surgery is very serious because the organ is dismantled and then assembled into parts. In general, falloprosthetic surgeries are performed only when there are indications that no classical remedy can cope with the situation. Before the operation, the patient must go to the hospital several times to be examined and tested. This type of surgery not only solves the problem of missing a centimeter of a man's penis, but also allows him to cope with erectile dysfunction, which makes falloprosthetics very popular among men, despite the high cost and pain of the operation.
The essence of this method is the implantation of special devices in the cavernous bodies of the penis. This method is performed only under general anesthesia.
There are three types of endoprostheses - semi-rigid, hydraulic and rigid.
Rigid penile prostheses are cheaper than hydraulic and semi-rigid prostheses, but are less popular and are rarely used in surgery. This is because this type of endoprosthesis does not have plastic memory and cannot change the degree of stiffness. As a result, it turns out that a man is constantly imitating an erection.
In the case of a semi-rigid phalloprosthesis (single piece), its rigidity is also preserved. However, the difference between a single-component prosthesis and a rigid prosthesis is that it consists of a semi-rigid wire and two cylinders made of silicone fitted with a rod. Thanks to this design, the phallus can be changed by hand and kept in the required position.
However, the most positive feedback is used by hydraulic phalloprostheses, ie swelling (three-component). This endoprosthesis has the following structure - two cylinders connected to each other by a special pump and a reservoir for fluid. During penile prostheses, these cylinders are implanted in the corpus cavernosum of the penis and the pump is placed in the man's scrotum. The reservoir is located in the area behind the pubic bone.
You need to squeeze the pump several times to achieve an erection. Thus, the liquid previously in the reservoir passes into the cylinders, thereby increasing their stiffness. It is necessary to bend the penis and wait for it to fully relax when it is necessary to eliminate the erection condition. At this time, the liquid returns to the reservoir. Phylloprosthetics with hydraulic implants are the most expensive, but provide a more natural and natural physiological appearance, even at rest.
In any case, a phaloprosthesis for each patient is selected individually, taking into account all the features of the physical structure and only after a thorough examination of the whole organism. It is not uncommon to need to consult with other narrow specialists.
As mentioned above, it is a very serious procedure that can cause various complications during and after falloprosthesis. Therefore, the desire to increase the dignity is not enough, any clinic will perform this operation only in the presence of serious symptoms. It is possible that the implant will simply not take root and the body will make every effort to remove it, including the urethra, which is the crown of the head. In addition to displacement, the prosthesis may bend and break. As a result of compression, the patient may experience necrosis of the genitals or skin, as well as damage to the epithelium surrounding foreign bodies. Among the complications can be distinguished: the development of inflammatory processes; hematoma of the penis, edema, painful postoperative conditions, decreased sensitivity of the body; urinary problems. Displacement or integrity of the implants, as well as pain and discomfort, are possible during sexual intercourse.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a minimally invasive plastic surgery. And it has a number of advantages compared to the method described above, but it is more aimed at increasing the thickness of the phallus, rather than its length.
Lipofilling involves the insertion of a biomaterial (the patient's adipose tissue) under the skin of the penis, so this procedure requires additional liposuction. The use of fat cells in the patient often excludes the presence of allergic reactions, which can lead to inflammatory processes.
Lipofilling is carried out in several stages:
- First, liposuction is performed. That is, the required amount of biomaterial is removed from the patient's abdomen, legs or hips.
- After that, the adipose tissue undergoes a procedure to remove any harmful components.
- The next step is to fill the penis with fat cells. This happens with an injection syringe and a microchannel. Fat is injected along the entire length of the penis.
- At the end of the operation, a bandage is applied to the patient.
In the postoperative period, a few recommendations should be followed: it is undesirable to visit saunas, swimming pools and other water bodies, you should avoid proximity. Following these simple rules will only bring you closer to a positive result.
Lipofilling is relevant in the following cases:
- The patient is quite satisfied with the length, but not with the diameter of the penis, ie the congenital thinness (if this is the result of independent expansion of the body with the help of an extension).
- Due to the physiological characteristics of the partner, the vagina is very wide.
- There is erectile dysfunction, which is not caused by physiological abnormalities, but by psychological causes and is associated with dissatisfaction with the level of self-esteem of a man.
- Congenital or traumatic asymmetry of the phallus.
- Restoration of aesthetic appearance after removal of silicone implants.
- The patient has micropenis.
Lipofilling has a number of advantages:
- General anesthesia is not required.
- Rehabilitation after the procedure does not take long and takes several days.
- Although the long-term effects and doctors do not provide a lifetime increase, the measurement remains for a long time.
- There are practically no contraindications to the procedure.
- If necessary, the surgeon can always correct the shape of the penis.
- Price difference compared to penis prostheses.
Although the bruises and swelling during the operation disappear within three days, the final result is assessed only after a week.
However, even in such a seemingly positive operation, there are a number of complications and contraindications on all sides.
The following complications can occur after lipofilling:
- painful sensations when urinating are possible;
- sometimes pigmentation of the skin occurs where the biomaterial is injected;
- swelling of both the penis and legs;
- rarely, but it turns out that adipose tissue is not evenly distributed throughout the male body, but there are lumps under the skin, and asymmetrical enlargement of the penis is also possible;
- scarring of cavernous tissues;
- accumulation of purulent fluid under the skin in the groin and penis;
- Inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin area.
If the patient has complications, you should see a doctor immediately. The specialist will prescribe either medication or form adjustment (depending on the problem).
Lipofilling is contraindicated for people with diabetes, vascular and arterial diseases, penile deformity (congenital or acquired), urethral infections, sexually transmitted diseases, oncology, penile rashes. Also, lipofilling is not done for people with weakened immunity and mental retardation.
It is important to choose a well-proven clinic for this type of surgery. The desire to save money can have serious consequences.
Ligamentotomy
The male reproductive system is designed so that when blood flows to the penis, the ligament in the pubic area begins to squeeze as it rises.
The essence of a ligamentotomy is to cut this ligament (ligament) and thereby remove the penis from the pubic bone to which it is attached, so it will grow.
However, the growth of the penis is not in the surgeon cutting the ligament, but in how the ligament grows together later. After the ligament is cut, the phallus bends down and stretches, and the inside is removed from the pelvic region and fixed.
Growing up in this way, the result depends on both the plastic surgeon and the patient. A man will have to lengthen his penis for 14 days. Thanks to ligamentotomy, it is easy to add the desired 3-5 centimeters to the manhood. The result of a ligamentotomy is lifelong, because if the ligament grows together in a similar position, nothing will return to its previous state.
Ligamentotomy is performed either under general anesthesia or under spinal anesthesia. The process itself takes 30 minutes and rehabilitation takes two weeks. But we can talk about the end result only after six months, when the garden is fully grown.
The main advantage of ligamentotomy is that the operation does not cause complications and in no way affects a man's sexual health.
Ligamentotomy, like phalloprosthetics, is performed only for medical reasons, but this operation has repeatedly been performed based on the patient's wishes.
Microsurgical Muscle Transplantation
The essence of the method is that the patient's penis is wrapped around the musculoskeletal flaps after making an incision around the base and lowering the skin. The operation lasts 2-3 hours under general anesthesia, and after its completion, the patient's body immediately noticeably thickens 3-4 centimeters.
Biomaterial for transplantation is obtained from the person undergoing surgery, the abdominal wall or the armpit.
Postoperative rehabilitation lasts 4-6 weeks; a man can be discharged from the hospital after 5-7 days.
Your own skin is very well rooted, which, in addition to painful sensations, excludes a number of possible complications.
Muscle transplantation is rare. This is due to the high cost of this service.
Possible complications
Complications after plastic surgery can occur both due to medical error and irresponsible approach to recommendations during rehabilitation.
The most common complications are:
- deformity of the male genitalia;
- change in the angle of erection;
- shortening of the penis shaft;
- erectile dysfunction;
- decreased sensitivity of the male penis.
It will not be possible to completely avoid the appearance of complications after the growth of a person's phallus. However, you should carefully choose a clinic for this procedure, because 80% of the results depend on it.
