Before deciding on such unusual plastic surgery as penis enlargement, you should 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 surgical method.
Falloplasty: what it is, reasons for the appointment and contraindications.
Plastic surgery of the penis involves restoring the functions of the penis (both urinary and sexual) or changing its external characteristics.
The indications for phalloplasty are the reasons that led to the failure or lack of functionality of the penis.
But, in addition to the main reasons, there are several more 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.
Very often, men turn to specialists who perform penis enlargement surgeries due to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis, and especially 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:
- Resting;
- when stretched;
- with an erection.
Measurement is made in a room at room temperature immediately after undressing to avoid tissue shrinkage 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 your back (from the pubis to the edge of the head). In this case, it is advisable to hold the penis so that it forms 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 several specific contraindications to phalloplasty.These include:
- irreversible organic 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 with a doctor about the possibility of its implementation,it is necessary to initially visit a sexologist, and then a urologist-andrologist.Having received a sufficient amount of information and having passed the examination, you can go directly to a surgeon who is experienced in performing operations on the male genital organ.
The main types of penis enlargement surgeries
There are several surgical intervention options 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 cosmetic operation, the purpose of which is to increase the length of the penis.
Reference.It should be noted that the ligamentotomy is performed in most cases in the absence of indications, but only at the request of the man. Also, the length of your genital organ may even be within the normal range.
On the eve of the operation, the specialist conducts a comprehensive examination and assigns a number of studies. Most of the time, we are talking about tests, which include: identification of group membership, CBC + clotting time, HIV testing, Hepatitis B and C, and ECG.
If all the tests are normal, the doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. So, in the evening on the eve of the operation, it is necessary to carefully shave the pubis and wash. No food or water should be consumed on the day of 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 out and the incision is then sutured.
Please note that penis enlargement will not magically occur as a result of the operation. A positive result can only be achieved with the correct and prolonged use of a special support device.
In the postoperative period during a hospital stay, the patient must comply with bed rest and be periodically examined by a doctor.After discharge, several rules must be strictly followed:
- exclude physical activity for a while;
- refrain from sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks after the operation;
- take prescribed medications in a timely manner for a full and speedy recovery;
- do not forget about personal hygiene;
- exclude the use of tight underwear;
- use the extender to wear for 3 months.
Full recovery after surgery occurs in approximately six months.If you follow all the rules and recommendations, you can achieve the desired result.
A few words about the prices of 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 conditions of the hospital in which the patient spends time in thepostoperative period.
Lip filler
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, extracted from the area where its amount is excessive, for example, from the abdomen, lumbar area, thighs, etc.
- The removal of adipose tissue is completely painless and fast enough. It is then injected subcutaneously at the desired location, while forming a new penis size. After this operation, the risk of manifestation of such a terrible complication as tissue rejection is unlikely, because the patient's own material is used.
Attention.It should be borne in mind that in the postoperative there will be a gradual change in the size of the organ downwards, which will eventually stop.
The fact is that the fat after injection shrinks in a range of 30-45%, which is considered normal.
- The duration of the operation is 1-2 hours. It is usually done under local anesthesia. After its end, small bruises, the swelling will remain on the body, but there will be no scars.
Since the procedure is done gradually, the fat is injected in small doses. - On the eve of the operation, an examination is conducted by a specialist and a series of 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 advisable to follow a hypocaloric diet), to abstain from alcohol, nicotine and a few days before the procedure to minimize physical activity.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with an isolated fragment of the widest dorsi musclefollowed by the imposition of microscopic vessels at the surgery site to maintain active and healthy blood circulation.
The operation is quite complex and most of the times it is 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. 5cm. Transsexual or hermaphroditic people.
To carry out this operation, a series of preparatory procedures are carried out.and many analyzes are taken. The main condition for performing an operation to transplant tissue into the genital organ is the absence of contraindications to performing an autotransplantation (there must be enough tissue in the organ and the patient's condition must allow many hours of operation, which, by the way, lastsabout 6-8 hours). . .
Possible 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 various complications, such as:
- bleeding;
- erectile disorder;
- infection;
- deformation of the penis.
This is possible if certain technical difficulties arose during the operation, because it was performed by an unqualified surgeon.
After lipofilling, the risk of obtaining a result different from the one in question is less than with ligamentotomy.and most of the time it comes down to the possibility of infection, the appearance of an asymmetry of the penis or an insufficient correction.
It should also be understood that cosmetic surgery is primarily used to change the size of the penis as much as possible. This means that the patient must have a realistic understanding of what result to 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 increase in size dramatically. In addition, there is a considerable list of contraindications and consequences of such a decision. Therefore, if the size of the penis is within the normal range, it is worth thinking twice before deciding on an operation.
