Ligamentotomy
One of the most common operations to increase the length of the penis is a ligamentotomy. It is performed in all clinics; often it is not performed for medical reasons, but at the request of men.
Gasoline operation:
- The doctor surgically cuts the ligaments that attach the penis to the pelvic bones. Penis lengthening occurs by pulling on the inner part of the penis and fixing it in a new position.
- To prevent poor ligament healing after surgery, doctors recommend using a stretcher. You should wear it 2 to 8 hours a day.
- Sexual activity is contraindicated for 2 weeks after surgery.
The operation is not very traumatic, it is performed through a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia, it lasts less than an hour.
Penis enlargement can be up to 5cm. Lengthening can be continued using a stent for up to 6 months upon recommendation by the surgeon.
Lipofilling
This method will surgically increase the thickness of the penis by 2 to 3 centimeters.
Made for aesthetic reasons of a man who considers his organ to be thin. An important condition is the correspondence of the length and thickness of the intimate dignity.
How will this be done? Surgically, it is not complex:
- Fat tissue is taken from the pubis or other area of a man, processed and injected with a syringe under the skin of the penis.
- It is technically important to introduce the fatty tissue evenly in order to avoid disturbing the correct shape of the penis.
- Anesthesia - anesthesia. Pubic seam is cosmetic.
- In the postoperative period, avoid physical activity for 1 month, sexual rest for two months.
The downside of lipofilling is the need for surgical correction after 2 years.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
This penis enlargement surgery is performed for medical and cosmetic reasons.
Medical indications due to:
- post-traumatic conditions;
- congenital pathology;
- past illnesses of the limb;
- change of sex in case of hermaphroditism;
- micropenis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia for several hours:
- At the first stage, the penis is prepared,
- then the muscle tissue is taken from the pectoral muscles or the abdomen.
- The flap is sutured to the tissues of the penis, the vessels and nerves are sutured.
Rehabilitation lasts between 1, 5 and 2 months.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics was first performed in 1936. Inspired by the presence of a special bone in the penis in walruses and seals, the surgeon transplanted costal cartilage into the patient's cavernous body.
In modern clinics, other materials are used for plastic.
Falloprosthetics illustrated:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- full plastic for penis removal, sex change.
Dental prostheses are:
- Rigid - silicone tubes implanted in the corpora cavernosa, ensuring a permanent erection.
Such prostheses are uncomfortable - the penis is still standing.
- Semi-rigid - have a special design that allows you to move the penis from a hanging position to a standing position with a slight movement of the hand.
Inflatable and self-filling prostheses are more physiological. Pressure on the scrotum activates a special pump that fills the prosthesis with air or fluid from a hidden balloon.
Insertion of implants
The increase in the thickness of the male organ involves the use of implants encapsulated in gel or silicone instead of those obtained from the man's own tissues.
Requirements for them:
- implants must be synthetic;
- possess load properties, that is, elasticity and softness;
- the possibility of a stable fixation in the phallus.
The augmented stent has a number of advantages:
- security;
- convenience;
- efficiency;
- no contraindications;
- does not require any special training;
- there is no negative effect on erectile and reproductive function.
To perform such an operation, an incision 2. 5-3 cm long is made along the coronal groove, channels are formed at the root of the penis, encapsulated implants are inserted and their attachment to the tunicalbuginea is allowed.
Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections will increase the length by 1 to 3 cm and the thickness by 3 to 5 cm. First of all, you need a minimum general clinical examination. This surgical treatment is performed on an outpatient basis:
- Under local anesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected with a cannula or needle, which causes some discomfort.
- The manipulation takes about 10 minutes.
- The effect of the increase lasts for up to a year and a half, then the injection is repeated at lower doses.
Collagen matrix
Perform the operation at the request of the man. Instead of its own tissues, special capsules are inserted into the penis, which stimulate the organ's production of its own connective tissue.

- small penis and micropenis;
