Before deciding on plastic surgery as unusual as penis enlargement, you should have a clear idea of when it can and should be performed, as well as whether it is appropriate.
Also, in detail about the most common surgical operations, as well as their possible consequences and how the organ is enlarged using the procedure.
Phalloplasty: what is it, reasons for the appointment and contraindications
Penile plastic surgery involves either restoring the functions of the penis (both urinary and sexual function) or modifying its external characteristics.
The indications for phalloplasty 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 more in medicine:
- abnormal changes in the penis;
- damage caused by various injuries (mechanical, thermal, chemical);
- underdevelopment of an organ or its short length / thickness;
- deformation of the genital organ;
- neoplasms (malignant);
- gangrene;
- organ removal for any other reason;
- erectile dysfunction, etc.
Most often, men turn to specialists performing penis enlargement surgeries due to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis, and especially its size. There is a certain indicator of the norm, according to which the normal length of the penis is 12-15 cm, but it is important to measure it correctly.
The penis is measured in three dimensions:
- resting;
- when stretched;
- with an erection.
The measurement is taken in a room at room temperature immediately after undressing to prevent tissue contraction due to cooling.You can stretch the penis as much as possible by gently grasping it and pulling it by the head.
An organ is measured along its 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. 5cm, it can be said that the man has a small penis.
But, unfortunately, not all representatives of the stronger sex who expressed such a desire can resort to this operation.There are a number of contraindications specific to phalloplasty.These include:
- irreversible organ pathologies;
- inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- mental disorders;
- 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 consult first a sexologist, then a urologist-andrologist.After receiving a sufficient amount of information and passing the examination, you can directly turn to a surgeon who is experienced in performing operations on the male genital organ.
The main types of penis enlargement surgeries
There are different options for surgery to change the size of the penis. Among them, several procedures can be distinguished, leading in most cases to the desired effect. Learn more about them in more detail.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is a fairly simple cosmetic operation, the goal of which is to increase the length of the penis.
Reference.It should be noted 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 his genital organ may even be within the normal range.
On the eve of the operation, the specialist conducts a comprehensive examination and assigns a number of studies. Most often we are talking about analyzes, which include: identification of group affiliation, CBC + clotting time, analysis of HIV, hepatitis B and C and ECG.
If all the tests are normal, the doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. So, in the evening 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 does not take 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 supports the penis, and dissects them.
- The hidden part of the penis is pulled out, then the incision is sutured.
Keep in mind that penis enlargement will not magically happen as a result of the operation. A positive result can only be obtained with the correct and long-term wearing of a special support device.
In the postoperative period during a hospital stay, the patient should adhere to bed rest and be periodically examined by a doctor.After discharge, several rules must be strictly followed:
- exclude physical activity for a while;
- refrain from sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks after the operation;
- take prescribed medications in a timely manner for full and speedy recovery;
- do not forget about personal hygiene;
- exclude wearing tight underwear;
- use the extension to wear for 3 months.
Full recovery after surgery occurs in about six months.If you follow all the rules and recommendations, you can achieve the desired result.
A few words on the prices of the operation. 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 whichthe patient spends time in the clinic. postoperative period.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is an operation designed not to lengthen the penis, but to make it thicker.The desired effect is obtained by the introduction of a subcutaneous injection.In the case of lipofilling, the fatty tissue of the patient is used, removed from the area where its quantity is excessive, for example, from the abdomen, lower back, thighs, etc.
- The removal of fatty tissue is completely painless and quite quick. Then it is injected subcutaneously at the desired location, while forming a new penis size. After this operation, the risk of manifestation of such a terrible complication as the rejection of tissue is unlikely, since the patient's equipment is used.
Warning.It should be borne in mind that in the postoperative period there will be a gradual change in the size of the organ downward, which will eventually stop.
The fact is that the fat after injection decreases by 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 end, small bruises, swelling will remain on the body, but there will be no scars,
since the procedure is done gradually, the fat is injected in small doses. - On the eve of the operation, an examination is carried out by a specialist and a number of tests are prescribed, which is almost identical to the list described in the previous operation; in addition, urine can be collected for analysis.
- It is recommended to eat only correctly a few weeks before the operation (it is advisable to follow a low-calorie diet), to refrain from drinking alcohol, nicotine and a few days before the operation to minimize activityphysical.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with an isolated fragment of the larger back 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 has been damaged or cannot even be classified as a small genital organ, that is, its length isless than 2. 5 cm. transsexual or hermaphrodite people.
To carry out this operation, a number of preparatory procedures are carried out.and many analyzes are carried out. The main condition for performing an operation for transplanting tissue into the genital organ is the absence of contraindications for performing self-transplantation (there must be sufficient tissue in the organ and the patient's condition must allowmany hours of operation, which, by the way, lasts about 6-8 hours). . .
Potential risks and 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 several complications, such as:
- bleeding;
- erectile disorder;
- infection;
- deformation of the penis.
This is possible if certain technical difficulties arose during the operation, as it was performed by an unqualified surgeon.
After lipofilling, the risk of obtaining a result different from that in question is less than with a ligamentotomyand most often comes down to the possibility of infection, the appearance of 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 should have a realistic understanding of the outcome to be expected after the operation.
Such procedures can increase the length of the penis by a maximum of 3-5 cm, everything else is either deceptive or fraudulent.
To sum up all of the 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 in size considerably. In addition, there is a huge 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.
