There are two main types of surgeries that help increase penis size: one to increase length and another to increase width. Although these surgeries can be performed by anyone, they are not offered as they are considered only as an aesthetic enhancement of the body.
Furthermore, this type of surgery generally 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 case.
Operation to increase width
Surgery to increase penis width can be done in two ways:
- Fat injection: liposuction is performed on another part of the body, such as the sides, abdomen or legs, and then some of this fat is injected into the penis to fill and increase volume;
- Mesh placement: An artificial, biodegradable cell-filled mesh is placed under the skin and around the shaft of the penis to provide more volume.
Depending on the type of operation and each specific case, an increase in the diameter of the penis from 1. 4 to 4 cm may occur.
In any case, the risk is high: fat injection can lead to deformation of the penis, while with mesh placement it is more common for infections to develop, for example.
Length increase surgery
When the goal is to increase the size of the penis, surgery is usually recommended to cut the ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone, allowing the penis to drop further and appear larger.
Although this surgery can increase the size of a flaccid penis by about 2 cm, this is often not noticeable when the organ is in an erect position. Additionally, due to the ligament being cut, many men report that the height of their penis decreases 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 1 week after the procedure.
In most cases, you can go home the day after the surgery, it is only recommended to rest at home until the stitches are removed and follow some recommendations, which include taking painkillers and anti-inflammatories prescribed by the doctor, in addition to keeping your penis always dry and clean.
Sexual relations should only be resumed after 6 weeks, or as advised by your doctor, and more intense exercise, such as running or going to the gym, should only be started after 3 to 6 months.
Other Penis Enlargement Options
Other solutions that exist for penis enlargement use pills or vacuum pumps, which increase the amount of blood in the genitals and can therefore make the penis appear larger.
Furthermore, when you are overweight, the penis can become covered in fat, which is why the urologist may also recommend liposuction of the intimate area, which removes excess fat and, for example, opens the shaft of the penis better.
