Before deciding on any unusual plastic surgery like penis enlargement, you need to have a clear idea of when it can and should be done, and whether it is worth doing it at all.
In addition, the most common surgical interventions, as well as their possible consequences and the enlargement of the organ using the surgical method, are described in detail.
Phalloplasty: what is it? Reasons for the appointment and contraindications
Plastic surgery of the penis either restores the functions of the penis (both urinary and sexual functions) or changes its external properties.
The indications for phalloplasty are the reasons that led to the failure or lack of functionality of the penis.
In addition to the main reasons, there are a few more in medicine:
- abnormal changes in the penis;
- Damage from 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.
Most often, men turn to specialists who perform penis enlargement surgery because they are dissatisfied with the appearance of the penis, and especially with its size. There is a certain indicator of the norm, according to which the normal length of the penis fluctuates between 12 and 15 cm. However, it is important to measure it correctly.
The penis is measured in three dimensions:
- at rest;
- when stretched;
- having an erection.
The measurement is carried out in a room at room temperature immediately after taking off in order to avoid tissue contraction due to cooling.You can stretch the penis as much as possible by gently grasping and pulling by the head.
An organ is measured along its back (from the pubic bone to the edge of the head). In this case, it is advisable to hold the penis so that there is 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.
Unfortunately, not all representatives of the stronger sex who have expressed such a desire can resort to this operation.There are a number of specific contraindications to phalloplasty.These include:
- irreversible organ pathologies;
- inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- mental disorders;
- Autoimmune diseases;
- sexually transmitted diseases or genital infections;
- Diabetes mellitus;
- Leukemia etc.
To learn more about the operation and at the same time consult a doctor about the possibility of performing it,It is necessary to first see a sexologist, and then a urologist-andrologist.If you have received a sufficient amount of information and have passed the examination, you can contact a surgeon who is experienced in performing operations on the male genital organ directly.
The main types of penis enlargement surgery
There are several different options for surgery to change the size of the penis. Among these, several processes can be distinguished, which in most cases lead to the desired effect. Read more about it.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is a fairly simple aesthetic operation, the purpose of which is to increase the length of the penis.
Reference.It should be noted that in most cases the ligamentotomy is performed without any indication, but only at the man's request. In addition, the length of its genital organ can even be in the normal range.
On the eve of the operation, the specialist conducts a thorough examination and assigns a number of studies. Most commonly, these are analyzes that include: identification of group membership, CBC + clotting time, HIV analysis, hepatitis B and C, and EKG.
If all tests are normal, the doctor will give detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. Therefore, on the evening before the operation, it is necessary to carefully shave and wash the pubic hair. Food and water should not 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 fibers of the ligament that supports the penis, and dissects them.
- The hidden part of the penis is pulled outward, then the incision is sewn.
Remember, penis enlargement does not magically occur as a result of the surgery. A positive result can only be achieved with the correct and long-term wearing of a special support device.
In the postoperative period during a hospital stay, the patient must keep bed rest and be examined regularly by a doctor.After discharge, several rules should be strictly followed:
- exclude physical activity for a while;
- Do not have sexual intercourse 3-4 weeks after the operation;
- Take prescribed medication in a timely manner in order to achieve a full and speedy recovery.
- Don't forget about personal hygiene.
- exclude wearing tight underwear;
- Use the extender to wear it for 3 months.
Full recovery after surgery occurs in approximately six months.If you follow all the rules and recommendations, you can get the result you want.
A few words about the prices for the operation. The cost of penis enlargement surgery depends primarily 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 where the patient spends postoperative time.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is an operation that is designed not to lengthen the penis, but to make it thicker.The desired effect is achieved by introducing a subcutaneous injection.In lipofilling, the patient's fatty tissue is used and removed from the area where it is too much, e. g. B. from the abdomen, lower back, thighs, etc.
- The removal of fat tissue is completely painless and quick enough. Then it is injected subcutaneously into the desired site while a new size of penis is formed. After this operation, the risk of the manifestation of such a terrible complication as tissue rejection is unlikely, since the patient's own material is used.
Attention.It should be borne in mind that in the postoperative period, the size of the organ gradually changes downwards, which eventually comes to a standstill.
The fact is that after the injection, the fat will shrink in the 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 and swellings remain on the body, but there are no scars.
Since the procedure is carried out gradually, the fat is injected in small doses. - On the eve of the operation, an examination is carried out by a specialist and a series of tests is prescribed, almost identical to the list described in the previous operation. Urine can also be taken for analysis.
- It is recommended that you only eat properly for a few weeks before the operation (it is advisable to eat a low-calorie diet), avoid drinking alcohol and nicotine, and for a few days before the operation to minimize physical activity.
Microsurgical muscle transplant
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a fragment isolated from the widest muscle of the backfollowed by the imposition of microscopic vessels at the surgical site to maintain active and healthy blood flow.
The operation is quite complex and is most often indicated for use in cases when the genital organ has been damaged or cannot even be classified as a small genital organ, that is, its length is less than 2. 5 cm. Transsexual or hermaphrodite.
In order to carry out this process, a number of preparatory procedures are followed.and many analyzes are made. The main condition for performing an operation to transplant tissue into the genital organ is the absence of contraindications to performing an autotransplantation (there should be enough tissue in the organ, and the patient's condition should allow many hours of surgery, by the way, takes about 6-8 hours). . .
Possible risks and consequences of an operation
Despite the apparent simplicity of the above operations, they can have not only a pleasant result, but also unpleasant consequences. Speaking of ligamentotomy:It is impossible not to mention the possibility of multiple 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 getting a result other than the one in question is lower than with ligamentotomyand most often it comes down to the possibility of infection, the appearance of an asymmetry in the penis or inadequate correction.
It is also understood that aesthetic 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 cannot increase the length of the penis by more than 3-5 cm, everything else is either misleading or fraudulent.
In summary, we can say that penis enlargement surgery is not a myth, it is not a "miracle" that causes the penis to increase in size dramatically. Additionally, there is a sizable list of contraindications and consequences of such a decision. Therefore, if the size of the penis is within the normal range, then you should think twice before opting for an operation.
