Before deciding on such an unusual plastic surgery as penis enlargement, you need to have a clear idea of when it can and should be done, as well as whether it is worth doing.
Also, in detail about the most common surgical operations, as well as their possible consequences and how the organ is enlarged using the operative method.
Phalloplasty - what it is, reasons for the appointment and contraindications
Penile plastic surgery involves restoring the functions of the penis (both its urinary and sexual function) or changing its external characteristics.
The indications for phalloplasty are the reasons that led to the failure or lack of function of the penis.
But, in addition to the main reasons, there are many others in medicine:
- abnormal changes in the penis;
- damage caused by various injuries (mechanical, thermal, chemical);
- underdevelopment of an organ or its small length / thickness;
- deformation of the genital organ;
- neoplasms (malignant);
- gangrene;
- removal of an organ for any other reason;
- erectile dysfunction, etc.
Most often, men turn to specialists who perform penis enlargement surgeries due to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis and especially with its size. There is a certain indicator of the norm, according to which the normal length of the penis fluctuates between 12-15 cm, but it is important to measure it correctly.
The penis is measured in three dimensions:
- at rest;
- when stretched;
- with an erection.
The measurement is performed in a room at room temperature immediately after undressing to avoid tissue contraction due to cooling.You can stretch the penis as much as possible by gently grasping it and pulling it by the head.
An organ is measured along its back (from the pubis to the edge of the head). In this case, it is advisable to hold the penis so that there is a right angle between it and the abdominal wall. If the length of the penis is less than 9. 5 cm, then we can say that the man has a small penis.
But, unfortunately, not all representatives of the stronger sex who have expressed such a desire can resort to this operation.There are a number of specific contraindications for phalloplasty.These include:
- irreversible organ pathologies;
- inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- mental disorders;
- Autoimmune diseases;
- sexually transmitted diseases or genital infections;
- diabetes;
- leukemia, etc.
To learn more about the operation and at the same time consult a doctor about the possibility of its implementation,it is necessary to visit a sexologist first and then an andrologist urologist.Having received a sufficient amount of information and passed the examination, you can go directly to a surgeon with experience in performing operations on the male genital organ.
The main types of penis enlargement surgeries
There are various options for surgery to change the size of the penis. Among them, several procedures can be distinguished, which in most cases lead to the desired effect. Read more about them in more detail.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is a fairly simple aesthetic operation, the purpose of which is to increase the length of the penis.
Reference.It should be noted that ligamentotomy is performed in most cases in the absence of indications, but only at the request of the man. In addition, the length of his genital organ can even fall within the normal range.
On the eve of the operation, the specialist conducts a thorough examination and assigns a series of studies. Most often, we are talking about analyzes, which include: identification of group affiliation, CBC + clotting time, analysis of HIV, hepatitis B and C and ECG.
If all tests are normal, your doctor will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. So, in the evening on the eve of the operation, it is necessary to thoroughly shave the pubis and wash. Food and water should not be consumed on the day of the surgery.
The operation itself takes no more than half an hour and is usually performed under general anesthesia.
- The surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum, exposes the connective fibers of the ligament that supports the penis, and dissects them.
- The hidden part of the penis is pulled outward, then the incision is sutured.
Keep in mind that penis enlargement will not magically occur as a result of the operation. A positive result can only be achieved with the correct and long-term use of a special support device.
In the postoperative period during a hospital stay, the patient must respect bed rest and be periodically visited by a doctor.After discharge, you need to strictly follow several rules:
- exclude physical activity for a while;
- refrain from sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks after the operation;
- timely take the prescribed drugs for a complete and rapid recovery;
- do not forget about personal hygiene;
- exclude wearing tight underwear;
- use the extender to wear for 3 months.
Full recovery after surgery takes approximately six months.If you follow all the rules and recommendations, you can achieve the desired result.
A few words about the prices for the operation. The cost of penis enlargement surgery, first of all, depends not only on the clinic, but also on the equipment used during the operation, the professionalism of the surgeon, as well as the condition of the hospital where the patient spends time inpostoperative period.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is an operation designed not to lengthen the penis, but to make it thicker.The desired effect is achieved by introducing a subcutaneous injection.In the case of lipofilling, the patient's adipose tissue is used, taken from the area where its quantity is excessive, for example from the abdomen, lower back, thighs, etc.
- The removal of adipose tissue is completely painless and fast enough. It is then injected subcutaneously at the desired spot, while forming a new penis size. After this operation, the risk of manifestation of such a terrible complication as tissue rejection is unlikely, since the patient's material is used.
Attention.It should be borne in mind that in the postoperative period there will be a gradual change in the size of the organ downwards, which will eventually stop.
The fact is that the fat after the injection is reduced in the range of 30-45%, which is considered normal.
- The duration of the operation is 1-2 hours. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. After its end, small bruises, swelling will remain on the body, but there will be no scars,
since the procedure is carried out gradually, fat is injected in small doses. - On the eve of the operation, a specialist conducts an examination and numerous tests are prescribed, which is almost identical to the list described in the previous operation; in addition, urine can be taken for analysis.
- It is recommended to eat exclusively correctly a couple of weeks before the operation (it is recommended to follow a low-calorie diet), to refrain from drinking alcohol, nicotine, and a few days before the procedure to minimize physical activity.
Microsurgical muscle transplant
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a fragment isolated from the wider dorsal musclefollowed by the imposition of microscopic vessels at the surgery site to maintain active and healthy blood circulation.
The operation is quite complex and is most often indicated for use in cases where the genital organ has been damaged or cannot even be classified as a small genital organ, that is, its length is less than 2. 5 cm. Transsexual or hermaphrodite people.
To perform this operation, a number of preparatory procedures are carried out.and many analyzes are done. The main condition for performing a tissue transplant operation in the genital organ is the absence of contraindications to perform the autotransplant (there should be enough tissue in the organ and the patient's condition should allow many hours of operation, which, fromway, takes about 6-8 hours). . .
Potential Risks and Consequences of Surgery
Despite the apparent simplicity of the above operations, they can have not only a pleasant result, but also unpleasant consequences. So, speaking of ligamentotomy,it is impossible not to mention the possibility of several complications, such as:
- bleeding;
- erectile disorder;
- infection;
- deformation of the penis.
This is possible if some technical difficulties arose during the operation, because it was performed by an unqualified surgeon.
After lipofilling, the risk of obtaining a different result from the one in question is lower than with ligamentotomyand most often it comes down to the possibility of infection, the appearance of penile asymmetry or insufficient correction.
It should also be understood that cosmetic surgery is mainly used to resize the penis as much as possible. This means that the patient must have a realistic understanding of what outcome he can expect after the operation.
Such procedures can increase the length of the penis by no more than 3-5 cm, everything else is misleading or fraudulent.
Summarizing all of the above, we can say that penis enlargement surgery is not a myth, but not a "miracle" due to which the penis will greatly increase in size. In addition, there is a considerable list of contraindications and consequences of such a decision. Therefore, if the penis size is within the normal range, it is worth thinking twice before deciding on an operation.
