In the last few years, penis enlargement surgery has become one of the most popular and requested plastic surgeries. Phalloplasty is a reliable and effective method for correcting the length and diameter of the male genital organ.
An hour and a half operation allows 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 pros and cons, which every man who decides to undergo phalloplasty should know.
According to statistics, penis enlargement surgery is the only possible and effective method of correcting the parameters of the reproductive organ, the result of which lasts throughout life.
Correction methods
Before surgically enlarging the penis, many men decide to use drugs and massagers, which not only do not give the desired result, but can also be harmful to health. According to statistics, more than 30% of men who use tablets and ointments of questionable quality to enlarge the genital organ are subsequently treated for erectile dysfunction and reduced potency.
Today, penis enlargement surgery is the safest method, with the help of which you can add a few precious centimeters to the length and volume of the penis. Plastic surgery offers several basic methods to correct the shape and linear dimensions of the phallus, including:
- ligamentotomy;
- lipofilling;
- muscle tissue transplantation;
- penile prostheses.
It should be understood that surgical penis enlargement is possible only if there are direct indications. Not every man who is dissatisfied with the size of his penis can undergo phalloplasty. According to most andrologists, dissatisfaction with the size of the reproductive organ is not a functional, but rather a psychological problem.
Instructions for operation
Surgical lengthening of the phallus is possible only if there are certain physiological and psychological indicators. 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 degenerations;
- micropenis syndrome.
In the absence of obvious functional disorders, genital enlargement operations are performed only when the length of the erect reproductive organ does not reach 8 cm.
It should be noted that serious psychological problems associated with complexes related to the size of the phallus can affect not only the psycho-emotional state of a person, 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 necessary surgical procedures take no more than 40-50 minutes on average. According to plastic surgeons, lengthening of the reproductive organ is possible by cutting the suspensory ligament that "holds" the penis in the man's body.
Due to ligamentotomy, the length of the phallus increases by an average of 3-4 cm. As a result of cutting the soft tissues under the genital organ, it can significantly increase the length of the working part (body) of the penis. visually longer. Experience shows that parts of the suspensory ligament tissue are completely restored 2-3 weeks after resection.
Ligamentotomy does not affect a man's fertility or erectile function in any way.
On the 2nd-3rd day after ligamentotomy, the patient is discharged home with recommendations to take care of the operated penis and then to wear an expander. Due to the good blood supply of the groin area, the patient undergoes a relatively short rehabilitation course, which is on average 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 try 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 genital organ. In this case, there are two ways to enlarge the penis surgically:
- lipofilling is a plastic surgery that involves injecting fat from the buttocks or abdomen into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis. Using a long needle, the surgeon evenly distributes the fatty tissue along the shaft of the genital organ, as a result of which its width increases by an average of 2-2. 5 cm;
- muscle transplantation is a complex operation in which muscle tissue taken from the abdominal wall is transferred to the penis; During the procedure, the surgeon sews the vessels to the implanted tissue, which later 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, penis enlargement 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.
Prostheses
Surgical enlargement of the genital organ in case of erectile dysfunction is called penile prosthesis. Surgical intervention is performed only if impotence, micropenis syndrome and excessive curvature of the phallus during erection are absolute indications. Implantation of a prosthesis made of modern flexible materials allows to restore erectile function and, accordingly, to normalize a man's sex life.
Penile prosthesis is a complex surgical operation that is contraindicated for people suffering from severe somatic diseases.
Surgical penis enlargement takes place by implanting two silicone or vinyl penile prostheses into 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 inserted, the phallus is always in an upright position, which causes a lot of discomfort in patients.
Two-component and three-component hydraulic prostheses are considered more successful. Special devices consist of a pressure pump and hardness cylinders that are transferred to the testicle. The reservoirs are connected to each other with silicone tubes, thanks to which air is pumped from the pump into the cylinders installed in the cavernous bodies of the penis. The elasticity of the enlarged penis is adjusted by squeezing the pump, i. e. testicle To remove the erection, you just need to squeeze the special shut-off valve located on the other side of the pump.
The results of the operation
In the past few years, plastic surgery has made great strides thanks to the advent of polymer materials and computer technology. Surgical penis enlargement allows you to achieve the desired result in a few weeks, during which the patient undergoes a rehabilitation course.
According to practical observations, surgical operation allows 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 the male external genitalia.
The longer the suspensory ligament of the phallus, which can be cut, the clearer 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 a maximum of 3 cm. To achieve better results, it is recommended to wear special stretchers called extenders for the male genital organ during rehabilitation. The device is designed to lengthen the suspensory ligament of the penis, with its help, the length of the organ increases by another 1. 5-2 cm.
Contraindications
As already mentioned, the operation to enlarge the penis is performed only if there are serious symptoms. There is also a fairly extensive list of contraindications for phalloplasty, which are taken into account by andrologists during the initial examination of the patient and the preparation of a medical opinion. A plastic surgeon will not perform surgery if there are the following contraindications:
- blood coagulation disorder;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- diabetes;
- sexually transmitted infections;
- exacerbation of a chronic disease;
- genitourinary diseases;
- oncological diseases.
After the patient has undergone all necessary instrumental diagnostics, the doctor decides on the need for phalloplasty. If there are no serious contraindications, the specialist sets a day for the operation and also discusses all the nuances of rehabilitation therapy with the patient.
