Nowadays, penis enlargement surgery is gaining more and more popularity. And this is due to the fact that part of the male population, even in the absence of a problem, has complexes about penis size. There are several ways to enlarge the genitals, however, not all methods give a long-term effect, unlike surgery.
Is it possible to enlarge the penis surgically
Of course, surgical enlargement of the male genitalia is possible. The desire to have surgery is not always because the problem really exists. Often, owners of fairly normal sized penises can also purchase such complexes. Most men also believe that success in sexual relationships and the ability to reproduce directly depends on the value of dignity, however, this is not necessarily the case.
The size of a normal penis reaches 12 cm to 18 cm during an erection. A small penis with a size of 9 cm to 12 cm is considered. There are also holders of micropenis whose length is less than 8 cm and can reach 2 cm (in the state of erection).
Penis enlargement surgery should have guidelines and not just because of male complexes. In case the desire to enlarge the phallus is caused by dissatisfaction with its size, but at the same time its readings are below average values, it is necessary to visit a psychotherapist or sexologist.
Surgical enlargement of the penis is necessary in only a few cases:
- Penile involvement, which is usually characterized by a decrease in muscle tone and tissue elasticity, usually occurs in old age. With the development of involution, the surgeon does not insist on surgical intervention and the decision to enlarge the phallus will be left to the patient’s discretion. After all, sexual activity decreases with age, so many older men take this phenomenon absolutely calmly.
- Acquired organ deformities or intrauterine anomalies. Male congenital malformations include underdevelopment of the spongy urethra, which causes the phallus to curve toward the scrotum (hypospadias).
- Urethral underdevelopment (epispadias). Acquired deformities include lesions of varying severity on all types of genitals.
- Micropen is another condition that involves increasing the size of a man by the surgical method.
If a patient wants to have surgery to enlarge the phallus without any indication, the doctor will likely try to remove it and possibly give other methods to change the size of the penis.
Among other things, surgical correction and enlargement of the male phallus is a rather expensive procedure.
Types of operations
There are several ways to enlarge a man's genitals:
Phalloprosthesis
Phalloprosthetics involves the implantation of a prosthesis in a man's penis. This type of surgical intervention is quite serious as the body disintegrates and then disintegrates. Usually, phalloprosthetics are done only if there are indications when no classic remedy can handle the situation. The patient will need to visit the hospital several times before the operation to undergo the examination and pass the necessary tests. This type of surgery allows not only to solve the problem of losing a centimeter from the penis of a man, but also to deal with erectile dysfunction, which makes phalloprosthetics quite popular in men, despite the high cost of surgery and its pain.
The essence of this method is that special devices are inserted into the cavernous bodies of the penis. This method is performed exclusively under general anesthesia.
There are three types of endoprostheses - semi-rigid, hydraulic and rigid.
Solid penile prostheses are cheaper than hydraulic and semi-rigid ones; However, they are not very popular and are rarely used in surgery. This is due to the fact that this type of endoprosthesis does not have plastic memory and also can not change the degree of its rigidity. As a result, it turns out that a man constantly has an imitation of an erection.
In the case of a semi-rigid phalloprosthesis (identical), its rigidity is also preserved. But the difference between a one-component prosthesis and a solid prosthesis is that a semi-rigid one consists of two cylinders made of two silicones equipped with a wire and a stem. Thanks to this design, it is possible to keep the phallus in the position required by changing it manually.
But the most positive reviews are used with hydraulic phalloprostheses, i. e. inflatable (three-component). This endoprosthesis has the following structure - two cylinders that are connected to each other by a special pump and is also a fluid reservoir. During penile prosthetics, these cylinders are inserted into the cavernous body of the penis, while a pump is placed in the male genitalia. The reservoir is located behind the public bone.
To achieve an erection it is necessary to loosen the pump several times. Thus, the fluid previously in the reservoir is transferred to the cylinders and thus increases their hardness. As soon as you need to eliminate the erectile condition, it is necessary to bend the penis and wait for complete rest. At this time the fluid returns to the reservoir. Phalloprosthetics with hydraulic implants are the most expensive, but give a more natural and natural physiological look, even at rest.
In any case, the phalloprosthesis will be selected individually for each patient, taking into account all the characteristics of the physical structure and only after passing a complete examination of the whole organism. This is not a rare case when it is necessary to consult with other narrow specialists.
As mentioned above, phalloplasty is a very serious procedure, during and after which various complications can occur. Therefore it is not enough to want to increase your own dignity, any clinic will perform this operation only if there are serious indications. It is possible that the implant simply does not take root and the body will make every effort to move it, including through the urethra, to its crown. In addition to movement, prosthesis twisting and fracture are possible. As a result of compression, the patient may experience necrosis of the genitals or skin, damage to the epithelium that covers the foreign body. Complications can also be distinguished: the development of inflammatory processes; Hematoma of the penis, edema, painful postoperative conditions, decreased sensitivity of the body; Problems with urination. It is possible to move or disrupt the integrity of the implants during sexual intercourse, as well as pain and discomfort.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling refers to minimally invasive plastic surgery. And it has many advantages over the method described above, however, it is more aimed not at increasing the length of the phallus but at its thickness.
Lipophilization involves the introduction of biomaterial (patient adipose tissue) under the skin of the penis, so in addition to this procedure it is necessary to perform liposuction. The use of patient fat cells often eliminates the presence of allergic reactions, however, this can lead to inflammatory processes.
Lipol filling is done in several stages:
- First of all, liposuction is performed. That is, the required amount of biomaterial is pumped from the patient's abdomen, legs, or buttocks.
- After that, the adipose tissue undergoes a cleansing procedure to remove all kinds of harmful components.
- The next step is to fill the penis with fat cells. This is done with injection syringes and microchannels. Fat is deposited along the entire length of the penis.
- At the end of the operation, the patient is applied a bandage.
In the postoperative period should follow a few recommendations: it is undesirable to visit the sauna, swimming pool and other water bodies, you should refrain from intimacy. Following these simple rules will only lead to a positive result.
Lipol filling is important when:
- The patient is quite satisfied with the length, but he does not meet the diameter of the penis, i. e. congenitally thin (including if this is the result of an independent enlargement of the body with the help of an extender).
- Due to the physiological characteristics of the partner, her vagina is very wide.
- There is erectile dysfunction, which is caused not by physiological disorders but by psychological ones and is related to dissatisfaction with the size of a man’s self-esteem.
- Asymmetry of the phallus congenital or resulting from trauma.
- Restoration of aesthetic appearance after removal of silicone implants.
- The patient has micropenis.
Lipol filling has several advantages:
- General anesthesia is not required.
- Rehabilitation after the procedure is not long and only takes a few days.
- Long-term effect, and although doctors do not guarantee longevity, the size remains long.
- The procedure has virtually no contraindications.
- If necessary, the surgeon can always correct the shape of the penis.
- Significant difference in price compared to penis prosthetics.
Although the bruises and swelling that appear during the operation disappear within three days, the final result is evaluated only after a week.
However, even a seemingly positive operation has a number of complications and contraindications from all sides.
The following complications may occur after lipofilling:
- Painful sensations when urinating are possible;
- At the site where the biomass was injected, skin pigmentation sometimes occurs;
- Swelling of the penis and legs;
- Rarely, but it happens so that the fatty tissue is not evenly distributed throughout the male body, but there will be subcutaneous nodules, asymmetric enlargement of the penis is also possible;
- Cavernous tissue scars;
- Accumulation of purulent fluid under the skin in the abdomen and penis;
- Inflammation of the lymph nodes in the uterine area.
If the patient has complications, you should consult a doctor immediately. The specialist will prescribe medication or correct the form (depending on the problem).
Lipofilling is contraindicated for people with diabetes, vascular and arterial diseases, the presence of penile deformity (congenital or acquired), urethral infection, the presence of sexually transmitted diseases, oncology, rash on the penis. Also, lipofilling is not done for people with weakened immunity and mental retardation.
It is important to choose a good proven clinic for this type of surgery. The desire to save money can have serious consequences.
Ligamentotomy
The male reproductive system is designed so that when blood flows from the penis, the ligaments in the public region begin to tighten the body, causing it to grow.
The essence of a ligamentotomy is to cut off this ligament (ligament) so that the penis moves from the public bone to which it is attached, causing it to grow.
However, the enlargement of the penis does not lie in the fact that the surgeon catches the ligament, but in how it will grow afterwards. As soon as the ligament is cut, the phallus is folded and stretched, and from the inside it is pulled out from the pelvis and fixed.
The magnification in this way depends on both the plastic surgeon and the patient. A man will have to enlarge his penis for 14 days. Thanks to the ligatotomy procedure, it is easy to add the desired 3-5 centimeters for a man. The result of a ligatotomy is continuous because if the ligaments grow together in a similar condition, then nothing will return to its original condition.
Ligamentomy is performed under general anesthesia or under spinal anesthesia. The process itself takes 30 minutes, while the rehabilitation takes two weeks. However, we can talk about the final result only after six months, when the leagues have fully grown.
The main advantage of ligamentomy is that, as such, the surgery does not involve complications and in no way affects a man's sexual health.
Ligamentomy, like phalloprosthetics, is performed only for medical reasons, but this operation has been performed repeatedly, simply based on the patient’s wishes.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
The essence of the method is that the patient's penis is wrapped in musculoskeletal membranes, after the wound is made at its bottom and the skin is pulled down. The operation lasts 2-3 hours, under general anesthesia, and after its completion the patient's body immediately thickens noticeably, by about 3-4 centimeters.
Biomaterials for transplantation are taken from the operative person, from the abdominal wall or from the arm area.
Postoperative rehabilitation lasts 4-6 weeks; The man can leave the hospital after 5-7 days.
Your own skin takes root quite well, which eliminates a lot of possible complications in addition to painful sensations.
Muscle transplants are rare. This is due to the high cost of this service.
Possible complications
Complications after plastic surgery can occur both in the case of medical error and in the case of irresponsible adherence to recommendations during the rehabilitation period.
The most common complications are:
- Male genital deformity;
- Change the angle of erection;
- Shortening of the penis shaft;
- Erectile dysfunction;
- Decreased sensitivity of the male penis.
It will be impossible to completely avoid the appearance of complications after the growth of the male phallus. However, you should choose the clinic carefully for this procedure, as 80% of the result depends on it.
