There are two main types of surgeries that help enlarge the penis: one to increase length and the other to increase width. Although these surgeries can be performed by anyone, they are not offered because they are considered only aesthetic improvements to the body.
In addition, this type of surgery usually does not 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 individual case.
Process to increase width
Penis enlargement surgery can be performed in two ways:
- Fat injection: Liposuction is performed on another part of the body, such as the sides, stomach, or legs. Some of this fat is then injected into the penis to plump it up and increase its volume.
- Mesh Placement: An artificial and biodegradable mesh with cells is placed under the skin and around the shaft of the penis to add volume.
Depending on the type of operation and in individual cases, the penis diameter may increase by 1. 4 to 4 cm.
In any case, there is a high risk: fat injection can lead to deformation of the penis, and mesh insertion, for example, is more likely to cause infection.
Surgery to increase length
If the goal is to enlarge the penis, surgery is usually recommended to cut the ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone, causing the penis to drop further down and appear larger.
Although this operation can enlarge the flaccid penis by around 2 cm, this is often not noticeable when the organ is in an erect position. In addition, many men report that their penis height decreases due to the rupture of the ligaments during erection, which can make intimate contact difficult.
How is the recovery going?
Recovery from penis enlargement surgery is relatively quick and it may be possible to return to work within a week of the procedure.
In most cases, you will be able to go home the next day after surgery. All that is recommended is to rest at home until the stitches are removed and follow a few recommendations, which include taking painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by your doctor and ensuring your penis remains dry at all timesand clean.
Sexual intercourse should only be resumed after 6 weeks or as directed by a doctor, and more intensive exercise, such as running or the gym, should only be started after 3 to 6 months.
Other penis enlargement options
Other penis enlargement solutions use pills or vacuum pumps that can increase the amount of blood to the genitals, making the penis feel larger.
In addition, if you are overweight, a layer of fat can develop on the penis, so a urologist may also recommend liposuction in the intimate area, which removes excess fat and, for example, opens the shaft of the penis better.
