The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his inheritance. In some cases, insufficient penis size is due to hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
Currently, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on an operation, a man should consider 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 use a combined operation. There are several techniques for resizing the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered more modern and safer, but is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the cutting of the suspension ligament (ngaligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and the subsequent wearing of a special orthopedic device (expander) enlarges the penis by 4-6 see After ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and adjust the shape of the penis.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by inserting 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 take time to recover, however, its effect is short-lived.
- Muscle transplant is a complex surgical procedure aimed at increasing the diameter of the penis. Transplantation uses tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia. The flap is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are closed. As a result the diameter of the penis can increase by 3-4 cm. Falloprosthetics are performed exclusively according to strict indications, including not only an insufficient size of the penis, but also its dysfunction. Cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used for the prosthesis.
Readings
With the exception of developmental abnormalities, when penis enlargement is necessary to have a normal sex life, this operation is performed for aesthetic reasons.
If the penis is functioning normally and the man is able to reproduce, then there are no direct indications for surgical intervention. How much phalloplasty is needed - the specialist will decide.
Contraindications
Penis enlargement surgery is contraindicated if the patient has serious diseases, lesions of internal organs, 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 health condition of the patient.Preparing for the operation
Before surgery, the surgeon consults with the patient. The doctor will tell you about all the possible risks and consequences, as well as choose the most appropriate operation technique.
In the preparatory phase, a man will have to undergo a comprehensive examination of the body for the purpose of possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, undergo an ECG and an X-ray, 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 the technique chosen.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take about an hour on average. Muscle transplant - about 3 hours. The duration of prosthetic surgery is 1-2 hours.
Recovery
The rehabilitation period after 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 examination and dressing. After 2-3 weeks, the vein becomes almost invisible. You will need to wear the extender for at least 6 months.
Falloprosthetics will require a longer and more serious recovery period. Its duration depends on the body of the man.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will last at least 5 weeks.
