The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his heritage. In some cases, insufficient penis size is due to hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
At the moment, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on an operation, a man should take into account all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, penis enlargement can be achieved in length and width. Men often resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques to change the size of the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and safe, but it is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the incision of the suspension ligament (daligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows to increase the size by 1-2 cm and the subsequent use of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6 see After the ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and align thepenis shape.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by introducing the patient's adipose tissue under the skin of the genital organ. The operation can enlarge the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. It does not require much time to recover, however, the effect of it is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgical procedure aimed at increasing the diameter of the penis. The transplant uses tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia. The flap is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are sutured. As a result, the diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
- Falloprosthetic is performed exclusively according to strict indications, including not only insufficient penis size, but also its dysfunction. For the prosthesis, cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used.
Readings
Except for developmental anomalies, when penis enlargement is necessary to have a normal sex life, this is done for aesthetic reasons.
If the penis is functioning normally and the man is able to reproduce, there are no direct indications for surgery. How much phalloplasty is needed - the specialist will decide.
Contraindications
Penis enlargement surgery is contraindicated if the patient has severe diseases, internal organ injuries, blood clotting disorders, diabetes mellitus, oncology, etc.
The decision on the possibility of phalloplasty will be made by the attending physician, based on the results of the examinations and the patient's health.
Preparing for surgery
Before the operation, the surgeon consults the patient. Your doctor will tell you about all possible risks and consequences, as well as selecting the most appropriate surgical technique.
At the preparatory stage, a man will have to undergo a comprehensive examination of the body with the aim of possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, undergo an ECG and X-ray procedure, and be examined by a urologist.
Operation progress
Regardless of the method chosen in the clinic, the operation will be performed under general anesthesia. The course of the operation depends on the desired result, as well as on the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take about an hour on average. Muscle transplant - about 3 hours. The duration of the prosthetic operation is 1-2 hours.
Restore
The rehabilitation period after the ligamentotomy is relatively short: after the operation, the patient will have to stay in the hospital for about 2 days. After discharge, you will need to come regularly for the exam and get dressed. After 2-3 weeks, the seam becomes almost invisible. You will need to wear the extender for at least 6 months.
Falloprosthetic will require a longer and more serious recovery period. Its duration depends on the man's body.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will take at least 5 weeks.
