Penis enlargement surgery is a fairly common procedure that comes with some risks and should only be done if there are clear indications. Many patients are happy with the result and some have complications that require further recovery.
Benefits of surgery
Plastic surgery for penis enlargement has a considerable number of advantages, which makes men want to perform this manipulation:
- No need to constantly take pills with a short-term effect, which have a negative effect on the body;
- During the operation, modern technologies are used that minimize the risk of negative consequences;
- Improve the quality of intimate relationships between sexual partners;
- Exclusion of the formation of various scars and scars on the body.
In order for the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations to prepare for the operation.
Indications for the operation
Penile augmentation surgery requires real indications. If the patient wishes to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty about his own abilities, then the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is required.
The list of the main indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organic pathologies;
- Compaction of tissues in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ that is not able to perform full-fledged intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). In addition, the surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of normal and regular sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for the operation:
- A large amount of fatty tissue, located in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Contraindications and possible complications
During a penis enlargement operation, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average erect penis size;
- Minor age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in a progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STDs;
- Dermatological diseases with spread to the skin of the organ;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during the operation or gross non-compliance with the recommendations for recovery can lead to the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Reduced sensitivity of the organ head.
After the operation, erectile dysfunction can be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Instability of the penis during intercourse;
- Inclination of the angle of the organ during an erect state;
- Reduce the size of the penis;
- Severe deformity;
- Problems with the appearance of an erection;
- Death of necrotic tissue.
Operating modes
The methods for penis enlargement operations are based on the use of different methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed under spinal anesthesia (injection of analgesics into the spinal cord). Manipulation is carried out using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the period of rehabilitation.
The duration of the procedure is approximately 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures an elongation of its size. With real measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovers at home. Pain relief is needed for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this period of time, there is an addiction to the organ and the healing process of the tissues, which are gradually scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to wear an extender at all times in order to permanently fix the result obtained.
The cost of the ligamentotomy is average. The pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of obvious indications and subject to the preparation of the body for surgery.
Falloprosthetics
The falloprosthesis is one of the most difficult operations, because it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often carried out during sex change and involves a considerable number of complications. It therefore requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
For the operation, rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we are talking about cost, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible for the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is plastic surgery in which the penis is thickened. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to achieve the desired effect.
With adipose tissue transplant, a gradual addiction occurs and the genital organ functions normally. In order for the procedure to give the right result, it should be carried out 2-3 times a year, as the fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms appear, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm. The patient goes home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts for 4 weeks (privacy is prohibited to avoid the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is used quite rarely, since it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a flap of tissue and suture the vessels, thereby increasing its size. The duration of the procedure is approximately 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin roots well and hardly causes rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is released after 5-6 days. The convalescence lasts 3 months, provided that all the prescriptions of the attending physician are respected. Pain in the penis is noted within 20-25 days.
Penis prosthesis surgery
Penile replacement surgery is a manipulation that is used in the absence of a result of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Directions for driving:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Inappropriate surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which appeared against the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you need to undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), contraindicated for prostheses. In this case, a full examination of the patient is carried out;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist should prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. After surgery, it is contraindicated to take food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days, then recovers at home for about 3 months. The absence of an erection lasts up to 20 days, and intimate relations are prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are rejection of the installed prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and infection of the wound. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and perform repeated manipulations to correct the situation that has occurred.
When making prostheses, it is important to find a good surgeon who will select the most suitable implant and exclude the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical penis enlargement methods
Doctors identify certain non-surgical techniques for enlarging the penis, which are discussed in the list below.
- Use of a vacuum pump.This technique increases blood circulation in the organ and has an instant but short-term effect. The impact is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump, where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used according to the instructions. Among the negative consequences of such use is a darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, increased trauma of the organ.
- Use of an extender.A special device of mechanical action, which helps to enlarge the penis. To achieve a tangible effect, it should be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (impaired blood circulation, leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noted when using the device (suspending a load on an organ causing its bending and deformation).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.The opinions of doctors on this issue differ, since many experts consider such therapy only as auxiliary therapy. Therefore, the patient should clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ by taking pills. These funds can be used to improve potency in general.
