Penis enlargement surgery is a very common procedure that has certain risks and should only be performed if there are clear indications. Many patients are satisfied with the result and some have complications that require further recovery.
Benefits of surgery
Plastic surgery for penis enlargement has a considerable number of advantages, which leads men to want to perform this manipulation:
- There is no need to constantly take short-term pills, which have a negative effect on the body;
- During operation, modern technologies are used that minimize the risk of negative consequences;
- Improve the quality of intimate relationships between sexual partners;
- Exclusion of the formation of various scars and scars on the body.
For the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations for preparation for the operation.
Indications for operation
Penile augmentation surgery requires real indications. If the patient wishes to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty in his own abilities, then the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is necessary.
The list of main indications for the operation:
- Marked curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Tissue compaction in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most of the time, the operation is performed with a small-sized organ that is not capable of performing a complete sexual intercourse (this condition occurs in 2% of men). In addition, surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a normal and regular sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for the operation:
- Large amount of adipose tissue, located in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing an operation to enlarge the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average penis size in an erect state;
- Younger age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus progressively;
- Inflammatory process in Organs genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases with spread to the organ's skin;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during operation or gross non-compliance with recovery recommendations can cause the following complications to develop:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Penis swelling;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Reduced sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After the operation, erectile dysfunction may be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Instability of the penis during intercourse;
- Tilt of organ angle during erect state;
- Reducing penis size;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Death of necrotic tissue.
Methods of Operation
The methods for penis enlargement operations are based on the use of various methods, depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed under spinal anesthesia (injection of painkillers into the spinal cord). Manipulation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The procedure takes about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures its length is stretched. With actual measurements, organ length does not change, but characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovers at home. Pain relief is needed for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation takes several months. During this period of time, there is an organ dependence and the tissue healing process, which gradually heal. For recovery, the constant use of an extender is necessary to finally fix the obtained result.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the middle range. The pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of obvious signs and subject to the agency's readiness for surgical intervention.
Falloprosthesis
Phalloprosthesis is one of the most difficult operations as it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. This manipulation is often performed when changing sex and presents a considerable number of complications, therefore, it requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
For the operation, rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia, and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about cost, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible for the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is plastic surgery in which the penis is thickened. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to obtain the desired effect.
When adipose tissue is grafted, a gradual addiction occurs and the genital organ functions normally. For the procedure to give the proper result, it must be performed 2 to 3 times a year, as the fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, so if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm. The patient is discharged from the hospital for 2 days and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penile enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. Furthermore, this technique is rarely used, as it is expensive.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a tissue flap and suture the vessels, thus increasing their size. The procedure takes about 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin is well rooted and causes virtually no rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery lasts 3 months, as long as all the prescriptions of the attending physician are respected. Penis pain is seen within 20-25 days.
penile prosthesis surgery
Penile replacement surgery is a manipulation used in the absence of results from conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Driving directions:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's Disease (penis deformity);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Inappropriate surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which emerged in the context of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prostheses. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist should prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. After surgery, eating food for 10-12 hours is contraindicated.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days, then recovers at home for about 3 months. The lack of erection lasts up to 20 days and intimate relationships are prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are rejection of the installed prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and wound infection. With these symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately and make repeated manipulations to correct the situation that has arisen.
When performing prostheses, it is important to find a good surgeon who selects the most suitable implant and excludes the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other Non-Surgical Methods to Enlarge the Penis
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques to enlarge the penis, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the organ and has an instant but short-term effect. Impact is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of this use is the darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, an increase in trauma to the organ.
- Using an extender.A special mechanical action device that helps to enlarge the penis. To get a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (impaired blood flow, leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noticed when using the device (hanging a load on an organ causing it to bend and deform).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations. Doctors' opinions on the subject differ, as many experts consider this therapy only as an aid. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking pills. These funds can be used to improve overall potency.
Physician and Patient Reviews
The answers of doctors and patients have different answers, as in this matter much depends on the presence of certain indications, the general state of the body and its readiness for surgery.
Surgeon Review: "As a qualified surgeon, I mean that penis enlargement operations should be performed if there are convincing indications. Most of the time, these manipulations are performed with severe organ deformations, congenital anomalies, and very small penis sizes . Proper technique, it is important to correctly assess the patient's general condition and exclude the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient testimonial: "Yes, I'm also having problems, because I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors say that there is no indication and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to get a phalloprosthesis, but I don't know how safe is this operation. "
