Over the past few years, penile enlargement surgery has become one of the most popular and sought-after plastic procedures. Phalloplasty is a reliable and effective method for 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 for increasing the size of the penis. All have their pros and cons, which every man who decides to have a phalloplasty should know.
According to statistics, penis enlargement surgery is the only possible and effective method for correcting the parameters of the reproductive organ, the results of which last a lifetime.
Correction methods
Before enlarging the penis through surgery, many men decide to use medications 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 reduced potency.
Today, penis enlargement surgery is the safest method, with the help of which it is actually possible to add a few dear 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 prosthesis.
It should be understood that penis enlargement through surgery is possible only if there are direct indications. Not every man who is unhappy with the size of his penis can undergo phalloplasty. According to most andrologists, dissatisfaction with the size of the reproductive organ is primarily a psychological and not a functional problem.
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 problems, but also some functional ones. 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, penis enlargement operations are performed 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 complexes about the size of the phallus can affect not only the psycho-emotional state of a man, but also the erectile function. According to andrologists, psychological problems are a good reason for phalloplasty and penis enlargement.
Ligamentotomy
Any type of surgical intervention 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 last 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 male body, is cut.
Thanks to the ligamentotomy, the length of the phallus increases by an average of 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, as a result of which it visually becomes longer. As practice shows, already 2-3 weeks after removal, parts of the suspensory ligament tissue are completely regenerated.
Ligamentotomy does not affect a man's fertility or erectile function in any way.
On days 2-3 after ligamentotomy, the patient is discharged home with recommendations for the care of the operated penis and then wearing an extender. Due to the good blood supply in the groin area, the patient undergoes a relatively short course of rehabilitation, which lasts 1-2 weeks on average. Despite the impressive photos found on the Internet, plastic surgery is well tolerated by men.
Penis enlargement 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 penis. In this case, there are two ways to enlarge the penis using surgery:
- Lipofilling is a plastic surgery that involves the injection of fat, which is taken 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 axis 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 during which muscle tissue taken from the abdominal wall is transplanted into the penis; During the procedure, the surgeon sews the vessels to the implanted tissue, which then ensures 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 penis in the presence of erectile dysfunction is called penile prosthesis. Surgical intervention is performed exclusively in the presence of absolute indications, which include impotence, micropenis syndrome and excessive curvature of the phallus during erection. Implantation of a prosthesis made of modern elastic materials allows you to restore erectile function and, accordingly, normalize a man's sex life.
Penile prosthesis is a complex surgical operation that is contraindicated for people suffering from serious somatic diseases.
Surgical enlargement of the penis occurs through the implantation of two silicone or vinyl penile prostheses in the corpora cavernosa of the genital organ. Flexible materials have the so-called memory ability. If necessary, the shape of the genital organ can be adjusted independently. However, experts warn that when silicone and vinyl prostheses are placed, the phallus is constantly in an elevated state, which causes patients a lot of discomfort.
Hydraulic prostheses with two and three components are considered more successful. Special devices consist of a pressure pump, which is transplanted into the scrotum, and rigidity cylinders. The tanks are connected to each other with silicone tubes, thanks to which air is pumped from the pump to the cylinders installed in the cavernous bodies of the penis. The elasticity of an enlarged penis is adjusted by pressing the pump, d. m. th. scrotumTo facilitate an erection, you just need to press the special shut-off valve, which is located on the other side of the pump.
Results of the operation
Over the past few years, plastic surgery has made great strides forward, thanks to the advent of polymer materials and computerized technology. Penis enlargement through surgery allows you to achieve the desired results within a few weeks, during which the patient undergoes 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 structure of a man's external genital organ.
The longer the suspensory ligament of the phallus that can be cut, the more visible the result 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, during rehabilitation it is recommended to use 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 is taken into account by andrologists during a preliminary examination of the patient and drawing up a medical report. A plastic surgeon will not undertake an operation if there are the following contraindications:
- impaired blood coagulation;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- diabetes;
- sexual infections;
- worsening of a chronic disease;
- genitourinary diseases;
- oncological diseases.
After the patient undergoes all 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.
