There are two main types of surgeries that help increase penis size: one to increase the length and the other to increase the width. Although these surgeries can be used by anyone, they are not offered as they are considered solely as an aesthetic improvement to the body.
Furthermore, this type of surgery does not usually produce the expected results and can even cause serious complications such as penile deformation, scarring or infection.
Therefore, the need for penis enlargement surgery should always be discussed with a urologist to understand the benefits and risks in each case.
Operation to increase the width.
Surgery to increase the width of the penis can be performed in two ways:
- Fat injection: Liposuction is performed on another part of the body, such as the sides, abdomen, or legs, and then some of this fat is injected into the penis to fill it out and increase its volume;
- Mesh Placement: An artificial, biodegradable mesh with cells is placed under the skin and around the shaft of the penis to provide more volume.
Depending on the type of operation and each specific case, an increase in the diameter of the penis of 1. 4 to 4 cm may occur.
In any case, the risk is high: fat injection can cause deformation of the penis, while with the placement of a mesh, for example, the development of infections is more common.
Length increase surgery
When the goal is to increase penis size, surgery is usually recommended to cut the ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone, allowing the penis to droop further and appear larger.
Although this surgery can increase the size of a flaccid penis by approximately 2 cm, this is often not noticeable when the organ is in an erect position. Additionally, due to the ligament being cut, many men report that the height of their penis decreases during erection, which can make intimate contact difficult.
How is the recovery going?
Recovery from penis enlargement surgery is relatively quick and it is possible to return to work within 1 week after the procedure.
In most cases you can return home the day after surgery, it is only recommended to rest at home until the stitches are removed and follow some recommendations, which include taking pain relievers and anti-inflammatories prescribed by your doctor, as well as maintaining your dry and clean penis at all times.
Sexual intercourse should only be resumed after 6 weeks, or as directed by your doctor, and more intense exercise, such as running or going to the gym, should only be started after 3 to 6 months.
Other options to enlarge the penis
Other solutions that exist to enlarge the penis use pills or vacuum pumps, which increase the amount of blood in the genitals and can therefore make the penis feel larger.
Furthermore, when you are overweight, the penis may be covered in fat, so the urologist may also recommend liposuction of the intimate area, which eliminates excess fat and, for example, opens the penis shaft better.
