Penis enlargement surgery is a fairly common procedure that has certain risks and should only be reported if there are clear indications. Many patients are satisfied with the result, and some get complications that require additional recovery.
Advantages of surgery
Penis enlargement plastic surgery has a number of advantages, which is why men want to perform this manipulation:
- There is no need to constantly take short-acting tablets, which have a negative effect on the body;
- During the operation, modern technologies are used that minimize the risk of negative consequences;
- Improving the quality of intimate relationships between sexual partners;
- Excluding the formation of various scars and scars on the body.
For the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations for preparation for surgery.
Indications for surgery
Penis enlargement surgery requires real indications. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to psychological insecurity in their abilities, then in this case the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is required.
List of main indications for surgery:
- Severe penile curvature due to growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Tissue compaction in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of organs.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ size that is not able to perform full sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). Also, surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a regular normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for surgery:
- A large amount of adipose tissue found in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- Membrane organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing penis enlargement surgery, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- Presence of an average penis size in an upright position;
- Juvenile age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases with spread to the skin of organs;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during surgery or gross non-compliance with recovery recommendations can cause the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Decreased sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After surgery, erectile dysfunction can be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Penile instability during intercourse;
- The inclination of the angle of the organ during the upright position;
- Reduction of penis size;
- Strong deformations;
- Problems starting an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Methods of work
Penis enlargement methods are based on the use of different methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed under spinal anesthesia (injection of painkillers into the spinal cord). The manipulation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures an extension of its size. With actual measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but the characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital the next day and recovers at home. Pain relief is needed for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this time, there is an dependence on the organs and the process of tissue healing, which gradually takes root. For recovery it is necessary to constantly wear an extension cord to finally fix the result obtained.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the middle range. Pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of obvious indications and subject to the body’s readiness for surgical intervention.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics is one of the most difficult surgeries because it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed when changing gender and has a significant number of complications, so it requires a long recovery and adherence to all medical recommendations.
Rigid inflatable implants and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia, and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about costs, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible for the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery in which the penis thickens. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to achieve the desired effect.
When adipose tissue is transplanted, there is a gradual dependence and the genital organ functions normally. In order for the procedure to give the right result, it must be performed 2-3 times a year, because fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to enlarge the penis by 2 cm in thickness. The patient is discharged home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited in order to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. Moreover, this technique is used quite rarely because it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is wrapping the penis with a fold of tissue and suturing the veins, which increases its size. The procedure takes about 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin is well rooted and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery takes 3 months, provided all doctor's prescriptions are followed. Pain in the penis is noticed within 20-25 days.
Penile prosthetic surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation used in the absence of the results of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for implementation:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average penis size;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Improper surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which appeared in the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultations with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia, and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum, or pubis. After the operation, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Erectile dysfunction lasts up to 20 days, and intimate intercourse is forbidden for 60 days.
Possible complications of the operation are rejection of the implanted prosthesis, development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and wound infection. With such symptoms it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and repeat the manipulations to correct the situation.
When performing prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who will choose the most appropriate implant and rule out the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods of penis enlargement
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for penis enlargement, which are discussed in the list below.
- Use of vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the organ and has an immediate but short-lived effect. The effect is achieved by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump, where the penis is located. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of such use is the darkening of the organs due to numerous bruises and bruises, increased trauma to the organs.
- Using an extension cord.A special device of mechanical action that helps to enlarge the penis. To achieve a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (reduced blood flow, which leads to impotence). The development of negative consequences when using the apparatus (hanging of the load on the organ causing its curvature and deformation) is also noticed.
- Dietary supplements and other herbal preparations.Doctors' opinions on this issue differ, because many experts consider such therapy only auxiliary. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking the tablets. Such agents can be used to generally improve potency.
Reviews of doctors and patients
The answers of doctors and patients have different answers, because in this matter a lot depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its readiness for surgery.
Surgeon's Review: "As a qualified surgeon, I want to say that penis enlargement surgeries must be performed if there are convincing indications. Most often such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformity, congenital anomalies and very small penis sizes. Appropriate technique, it is important to properly assess the patient's general conditionand rule out the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient testimony: "Yes, I also have problems because I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but doctors say there are no indications and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to get phalloprosthetics, but I don't know how much this operation issafe. "
