How is penis enlargement surgery performed and what types of surgical interventions are there?

Before deciding on such an unusual plastic surgery as penis enlargement, you need to have a clear idea of when it can and should be performed, and if it is worth doing at all.

Further, in detail about the most common surgical operations, as well as their possible consequences and how to enlarge the organ using the method of operation.

Phalloplasty: what it is, reasons for appointment and contraindications

Penile plastic surgery involves either restoring the functions of the penis (like its urinary and sexual function), or changing its external characteristics.

Indications for faloplasty are the reasons that led to the failure or lack of functionality 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 damages (mechanical, thermal, chemical);
• underdevelopment of an organ or its small length / thickness;
• genital deformity;
• neoplasms (malignancies);
• gangrene;
• removal of an organ for any other reason;
• erectile dysfunction, etc.

Most often, men turn to specialists who perform penis enlargement surgeries because of dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis, and especially with its size. There is a certain rate indicator, according to which the normal length of the penis fluctuates between 12-15 cm. But it is important to measure it correctly.

The penis is measured in three dimensions:

1. at rest;
2. when lying down;
3. with erection.

The measurement is performed in a room at room temperature immediately after undressing to avoid tissue shrinkage due to cooling.You can stretch the penis as much as possible by gently grasping it and pulling it from the head.

An organ is measured along the back (from the pubis to the edge of the head). In this case, it is advisable to hold the penis so that there is 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 stronger sex who have expressed such a desire can use this surgery.There are a number of specific contraindications to phalloplasty.This includes:

• irreversible organ pathology;
• inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
• mental disorders;
• autoimmune diseases;
• sexually transmitted diseases or genital infections;
• diabetes;
• leukemia, etc.

To learn more about surgery, and at the same time consult a doctor about the possibility of its implementation,it is necessary to visit first a sexologist, and then a urologist-andrologist.Once you have received a sufficient amount of information and after passing the exam, you can go directly to a surgeon experienced in performing surgeries on the male genital organ.

The main types of penis enlargement surgeries

There are various options for surgical intervention in order 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 fairly simple cosmetic operation, the purpose of which is to increase the length of the penis.

Reference.It should be noted that ligamentotomy is performed in most cases in the absence of indications, but only at the request of the husband. Moreover, the length of his genital organ can be well within normal limits.

On the eve of surgery, the specialist conducts a thorough examination and scheduling a number of studies. Most often, we are talking about tests, which include: identification of group affiliation, CBC + clotting time, HIV test, hepatitis B and C and ECG.

If all tests are normal, the doctor will give detailed instructions on how to prepare for surgery. So in the evening on the eve of surgery, 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 lasts no more than half an hour and is usually performed under general anesthesia.

1. The surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum, exposes the ligament fibers that support the penis, and dissects them.
2. The hidden part of the penis is pulled out, then the incision is sutured.

Keep in mind that penile enlargement will not magically occur as a result of surgery. A positive result can be achieved only with the correct and long-term wear of a special support device.

In the postoperative period during a hospital stay, the patient should respect the rest of the bed and be examined periodically by a doctor.After downloading, some rules must be followed strictly:

• exclude physical activity for a while;
• refrain from sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks after surgery;
• take timely prescribed medication for a complete and rapid recovery;
• do not forget about personal hygiene;
• exclude wearing tight footwear;
• use the extender to wear it for 3 months.

Complete 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 pricing for surgery. The cost of penis enlargement surgery, first of all, 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 spends time in postoperative periods.

Fat filling

Fat filling is an operation created not to lengthen the penis, but to make it thicker.The desired effect is achieved by the introduction of a subcutaneous injection.In the case of fat filling, the patient's adipose tissue is used, removed from the area where its amount is excessive, for example, from the abdomen, lower back, thighs, etc.

1. Adipose tissue removal is completely painless and fairly quick. It is then injected under the skin at the desired site, while forming a new penis size. After this surgery, the risk of developing such a horrible complication as tissue rejection is unlikely because the patient's own material is used.

   Attention.It should be borne in mind that in the postoperative period there will be a gradual change in the size of the organ below, which will eventually stop.

   The fact is that the fat after the injection is reduced in the range of 30-45%, which is considered normal.

2. The duration of the operation is 1-2 hours. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. After its completion, small bruises, swelling will remain on the body, but there will be no wounds,since the procedure is done gradually, the fat is injected in small doses.
3. On the eve of surgery, an examination is performed by a specialist and a number of tests are described, which are almost identical to the list described in the previous operation; in addition, urine can be taken for analysis.
4. It is recommended to eat exclusively correctly a few weeks before surgery (it is advisable to do a low-calorie diet), refrain from drinking 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 a fragment isolated from the dorsal broad musclefollowed by the imposition of microscopic vessels at the site of surgery to maintain active and healthy blood circulation.

The operation is quite complex and is most often indicated for use in cases where the genital organ is damaged or can not be classified even as a small genital organ, ie its length is less than 2. 5 cm. Transgender or hermaphroditic persons.

To perform this operation, a number of preparatory procedures are performed.and many analyzes are taken. The main condition for performing an operation to transplant tissue into the genital organ is the absence of contraindications to performing auto-transplantation (there must be sufficient tissue in the organ, and the patient's condition must allow for many hours of surgery, which, byway, lasts about 6-8 hours). . .

Risks and possible consequences of surgery

Despite the apparent simplicity of the above operations, they can have not only a pleasant result, but also unpleasant consequences. So talking about ligamentotomy,it is impossible not to mention the possibility of some complications, such as:

• bleeding;
• erectile dysfunction;
• infection;
• deformation of the penis.

This is possible if certain technical difficulties have arisen during the operation because it was performed by an unqualified surgeon.

After lipofilling, the risk of getting a different result is less than with ligamentotomyand most often comes 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 change the size of the penis as much as possible. This means that the patient must have a realistic understanding of what outcome he can expect after surgery.

Such procedures can increase the length of the penis by no more than 3-5 cm, everything else is either misleading or misleading.

Summarizing all of the above, we can say that penis enlargement surgery 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 size of the penis is within normal limits, it is worth thinking twice before deciding on an operation.
