The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his heredity. In some cases, insufficient size of the penis is due to hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
Currently, surgery is the only effective way to enlarge the penis. Before deciding on an operation, however, a man must 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 resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques for resizing the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure that increases penis length. 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 (fraligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension of ligaments in the penis, tomia - dissection). The function allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and the subsequent use of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6se After ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and adjust the penis 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 genitals. The operation can enlarge the penis by approx. 1 cm in diameter. It does not require long recovery, but 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 genitals, the vessels are sewn. As the result penis can be increased 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 anomalies, when penis enlargement is necessary to have a normal sex life, this surgery is performed 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 serious diseases, lesions of internal organs, blood clots, diabetes mellitus, oncology, etc.
The decision on the possibility of faloplasty will be made by the attending physician based on the results of examinations and the patient's state of health.
Preparing for surgery
Before surgery, the surgeon consults the patient. The doctor will tell you about all the possible risks and consequences as well as choose the most appropriate surgical technique.
At the preparatory stage, a man must undergo a comprehensive examination of the body for possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, undergo an ECG and x-ray procedure and be examined by a urologist.
Course of surgery
Regardless of the method chosen in the clinic, the operation is performed under general anesthesia. The course of the operation depends on the desired result as well as the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take on average approx. one hour. Muscle transplant - approx. 3 hours. The duration of the prosthesis operation 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 approx. 2 days. After discharge, you should come regularly for examination and dressing. After 2-3 weeks, the nail nest becomes invisible. You will need to wear the extension for at least 6 months.
Falloprosthetics will require a longer and more serious recovery period. The duration depends on the body of the man.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will take at least 5 weeks.
