Before deciding on plastic surgery as unusual as penis enlargement, you need to have a clear idea of when it can and should be performed, and whether it is worth doing.
In addition, in detail about the most common surgical operations, as well as their possible consequences and how the organ is enlarged using the operational method.
Phalloplasty: what it is, reasons for consultation and contraindications
Penile plastic surgery involves restoring the functions of the penis (both urinary and sexual functions) or changing its external characteristics.
The indications for phalloplasty are the reasons that led to the failure or inoperability of the penis.
But, in addition to the main reasons, there are several others in medicine:
- abnormal changes in the penis;
- damage caused by 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 of the time, men turn to specialists who perform penis enlargement surgeries due to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis and, mainly, with its size. There is a certain indicator of the standard, according to which the normal length of the penis oscillates between 12-15 cm, but it is important to measure it correctly.
The penis is measured in three dimensions:
- in rest;
- when stretched;
- with an erection.
The measurement is performed in a room at room temperature immediately after undressing to avoid tissue contraction due to cooling.You can stretch your penis as far as possible by gently holding it and pulling it over your head.
An organ is measured along your back (from the pubis to the edge of the head). In this case, it is advisable to hold the penis so that it is at 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.
But, unfortunately, not all representatives of the strong sex who have expressed such a desire can resort to this operation.There are several specific contraindications for phalloplasty.These include:
- irreversible pathologies of organs;
- inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- Mental Disorders, Mental Disorder;
- autoimmune diseases;
- sexually transmitted diseases or genital infections;
- diabetes;
- leukemia, etc.
To learn more about the operation, and at the same time consult a doctor about the possibility of its implementation,it is necessary to first consult a sexologist and then a urologist-andrologist.After receiving sufficient information and passing the exam, you can go directly to a surgeon with experience in performing operations on the male genital organ.
The main types of penis enlargement surgeries
There are several options for surgical intervention to change the size of the penis. Among them, several procedures can be distinguished, leading in most cases to the desired effect. Read more about them in more detail.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is a very simple cosmetic operation, the purpose of which is to increase the length of the penis.
Reference.It is noteworthy that the ligamentotomy is performed in most cases in the absence of indications, but only at the request of the man. In addition, the length of your genital organ may even be within the normal range.
On the eve of the operation, the specialist does a thorough examination and assigns a series of studies. Most of the time, we are talking about analyzes, which include: identification of group membership, CBC + clotting time, analysis of HIV, hepatitis B and C and ECG.
If all tests are normal, the doctor will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. Therefore, at night, on the eve of the operation, it is necessary to carefully shave the pubis and wash. 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 connective fibers of the ligament that support the penis and dissect them.
- The hidden part of the penis is pulled out and the incision is sutured.
Remember that penis enlargement will not magically occur as a result of the operation. A positive result can only be achieved with the correct and prolonged use of a special support device.
In the postoperative period during hospitalization, the patient must comply with the bed rest and be periodically examined by a doctor.After discharge, several rules must be strictly followed:
- exclude physical activity for a while;
- abstain from sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks after the operation;
- taking the prescribed medications in a timely manner for a complete and rapid recovery;
- don't forget personal hygiene;
- exclude the use of tight underwear;
- use the extender to use for 3 months.
Full recovery after surgery occurs in approximately six months.If you follow all the rules and recommendations, you can achieve the desired result.
A few words about the prices of the operation. The cost of penis enlargement surgery, in the first place, depends 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 in which the patient remains hospitalized. postoperative.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is an operation designed not to lengthen the penis, but to make it thicker.The desired effect is achieved by introducing a subcutaneous injection.In the case of lipofilling, the patient's adipose tissue is used, removed from the area where its quantity is excessive, for example, from the abdomen, lower back, thighs, etc.
- The removal of adipose tissue is completely painless and fast enough. It is then injected subcutaneously into the desired location, while forming a new penis size. After this operation, the risk of manifesting a complication as terrible as tissue rejection is unlikely, because the patient's own material is used.
Heads up.It must be kept in mind that in the post-operative period there will be a gradual change in the size of the organ downwards, which will eventually stop.
The fact is that the fat after the injection decreases in the range of 30-45%, which is considered normal.
- The duration of the operation is 1 to 2 hours. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. After its completion, small bruises, swelling will remain on the body, but there will be no scarring,
as the procedure is done gradually, the fat is injected in small doses. - On the eve of the operation, an examination is performed by a specialist and several tests are prescribed, almost identical to the list described in the previous operation, in addition, urine can be drawn for analysis.
- It is recommended to eat exclusively correct a few weeks before the operation (it is advisable to follow a low calorie diet), not to drink alcohol, nicotine and a few days before the procedure to minimize physical activity.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with an isolated fragment of the larger dorsal musclefollowed by the imposition of microscopic vessels at the surgery site to keep blood circulation active and healthy.
The operation is quite complex and is most often indicated for use in cases where the genital organ has been injured or cannot be classified as a small genital organ, that is, its length is less than 2. 5 cm. Transsexual or hermaphrodite people.
To carry out this operation, a series of preparatory procedures are carried out.and a lot of analysis is done. The main condition for performing a tissue transplant operation for the genital organ is the absence of contraindications for performing the autotransplant (there must be enough tissue in the organ, and the patient's condition must allow for several hours of operation, which, by the way, it lasts about 6-8 hours). . .
Risks and potential consequences of surgery
Despite the apparent simplicity of the above operations, they can have not only a pleasant result, but also unpleasant consequences. So, speaking of ligamentotomy,It is impossible not to mention the possibility of various complications, such as:
- bleeding;
- erectile disorder;
- infection;
- deformation of the penis.
This is possible if certain technical difficulties arise during the operation, as it was performed by an unqualified surgeon.
After lipofilling, the risk of obtaining a different result than the one in question is less than with the ligamentotomyand most of the time it boils down to the possibility of infection, the appearance of an asymmetry of the penis or insufficient correction.
It should also be understood that cosmetic surgery is mainly used to resize the penis as much as possible. This means that the patient must have a realistic understanding of the result he can expect after the operation.
These procedures can increase the length of the penis by no more than 3-5 cm, everything else can be misleading or fraudulent.
Summing up everything that has been said above, we can say that the surgery to enlarge the penis is not a myth, but not a "miracle" due to which the penis will increase dramatically in size. In addition, there is a considerable list of contraindications and consequences of such a decision. Therefore, if the penis size is within the normal range, it is worth thinking twice before deciding on an operation.
