Which doctor to contact
Since male augmentation surgeries are classified as plastic surgery, ie intimate plastic surgery, it is advisable to seek the help of a plastic surgeon specializing in urology or andrology.
Before contacting a correction center, consult an andrologist or urologist, you may be advised to do less traumatic manipulations to increase your problem - for example, an injection of hyaluronic acid into the penis.
The level of development of plastic surgery will effectively increase the penis in modern clinics.
More than 10, 000 such operations are performed annually worldwide, and the number of interventions is increasing.
Types of operations
Penis enlargement - lengthening or thickening of the penis.
There are the following types of surgeries to surgically reduce male dignity:
- ligamentotomy; lipofilling;
- microsurgical muscle transplantation;
- phalloprosthetics;
- implant placement;
- introduction to the collagen matrix.
Non-surgical technique - injections of hyaluronic acid into the penis.
What the intervention is, how much the operation will cost per member, how it will happen and its consequences, we will consider in more detail.
Ligamentotomy
One of the most common surgeries to increase penis length is ligamentotomy. It is performed in all clinics, often not for medical reasons, but at the request of men.
The essence of the work:
- The doctor surgically dissects the ligaments that attach the penis to the pelvic bones. Penis lengthening occurs by pulling the inner part of the penis and securing it in a new position.
- To prevent improper healing of the ligaments after surgery, doctors recommend the use of a stretcher. Wear it for 2 to 8 hours a day.
- Sexual activities are contraindicated 2 weeks after surgery.
The operation is a bit traumatic, it is performed with a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia and lasts within an hour.
Penis enlargement can be up to 5 cm. Extension can be continued with an extension for up to 6 months on the recommendation of a surgeon.
Lipophilization
This method will surgically increase the thickness of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
It is performed for aesthetic reasons by a man who thinks his organs are thin. An important condition is the correspondence of the length and thickness of intimate dignity.
How will this operation work? Surgical is not complicated:
- Adipose tissue is taken from the pubic or other areas of a man, treated and injected with a syringe under the skin of the penis.
- It is technically important to introduce adipose tissue evenly to avoid disrupting the proper shape of the penis.
- Anesthesia - anesthesia. The pubic suture is cosmetic.
- In the postoperative period, avoid physical activity for a month, sexual rest for two months.
Lack of lipofilling is the need for surgical correction after 2 years.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
This penis enlargement surgery is performed for medical and aesthetic reasons.
Medical indications due to:
- posttraumatic conditions;
- congenital pathology;
- past member illness;
- gender reassignment in case of hermaphroditism;
- micropenis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia for several hours:
- In the first stage the penis is prepared,
- muscle tissue is then taken from the pectoral muscles or from the abdomen.
- The flap is sutured to the tissues of the penis, vessels and nerves are sutured.
Rehabilitation lasts 1, 5 - 2 months.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics was first performed in 1936. Inspired by the presence of a special bone in the penis on walruses and seals, the surgeon transplanted the rib cartilage into the patient's cavernous corpus.
Other materials are used in modern plastic clinics.
Egg prosthetics shown:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- full plastic for penis removal, gender reassignment.
The prostheses are:
- Rigid - silicone tubes built into cavernous bodies, providing a permanent erection.
Such prostheses are uncomfortable - the penis is always standing.
- Semi-rigid - have a special design that allows you to move your penis from a hanging to a standing position with a slight movement of your hand.
Inflatable and self-filling prostheses are more physiological. Pressing on the scrotum turns on a special pump that fills the prosthesis with air or liquid from a hidden balloon.
Implant insertion
Increasing male organ thickness involves the use of implants in encapsulated gel or silicone, instead of those obtained from a person’s own tissues.
Requirements for them:
- implants must be synthetic;
- have filler properties, ie elasticity and softness;
- possibility of stable fixation in the phallus.
Increased endoprosthetics have a number of advantages:
- security;
- convenience;
- efficiency;
- has no contraindications;
- does not require special training;
- has no negative effect on erectile and reproductive function.
In order to perform such an operation, an incision 2. 5-3 cm long is made along the coronal sulcus, canals are formed to the root of the penis, encapsulated implants are inserted and their fixation on the tunica albuginea is allowed.
Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections will increase the length by 1-3 cm and the thickness by 3-5 cm. A minimal general clinical examination is required first. This surgical treatment is performed on an outpatient basis:
- Under local anesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected into a cannula or needle, causing some discomfort.
- The manipulation takes about 10 minutes.
- The effect of the increase lasts up to one and a half years, and then the injection is repeated in smaller doses.
Collagen matrix
Perform surgery at the request of a man. Instead of their own tissues, special capsules are inserted into the penis that stimulate the production of its own connective tissue by the organs.
Indications for operation
Medical indications for phalloplasty are of concern:
- small penis and micropenis;
- malformations (epi- and hypospadias);
- genital trauma;
- traumatic amputation;
- gender reassignment.
Other penis enlargement programs are performed at the request of the patient.
Contraindications are similar for each planned surgical intervention:
- temperature rise;
- acute infectious process;
- diabetes mellitus;
- severe pathology of internal organs.
Possible complications
Complications usually occur after phalloplasty. They boil down to the following:
- urethral narrowing;
- disorders of penile innervation;
- threat of erectile dysfunction;
- opposite effect, penis reduction;
- inflammatory process;
- graft rejection.
Recovery
The longest recovery period was recorded after phalloplasty. The hospital stay lasts 2 weeks. Physical activity, sexual life are limited to 2 months. This also applies to lipophilization. The rest of the intervention allows sexual activity after 2 weeks.
- Hyaluronic acid injections - limited use of sauna and hot baths.
- Ligamentotomy requires wearing an extender.
- Moderate pain is relieved by taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
