Nature does not give everyone the same gifts: one - generous, the other - not very much. Women often do not like their small breast size, and the main complex of men is the size of their dignity. The man who says he has never compared his penis to anyone else will be sluggish. And statistics say that around 80% of men are not satisfied with the length of their penis.
Modern medicine has learned to correct human imperfections with the help of plastic surgery. Almost anything can be changed today, the male member is no exception. How does penis enlargement surgery work, how effective is it and when do the indications for it appear?
Correction methods
Men have paid more attention to the length of the penis since ancient times. The phallus was raised to a cult and its enlargement was carried out through a ritual ceremony. Boys entering puberty were hung by their penis with weights. Some have worn them all their lives. The effectiveness and safety of this method is controversial. The operation to resize a member is now in the Individuals category.
For reference!There are a total of 3 methods of length correction: surgical, non-surgical, combined.
Ligamentotomy
The main and universal way to change the size of the penis is by ligamentotomy. This surgery for cosmetic purposes was first performed in 1990 by a Chinese scientist, further improved and spread worldwide. The principle of the operation is to cut the ligament that hangs the penis. It is she who anatomically holds the penis in the man's body.
The surgical procedure is performed under both general and local anesthesia and usually takes no longer than an hour. The recovery period lasts 2-3 weeks, during which the patient is advised to wear an extender to consolidate the result. The operation allows you to change the size by 3-5 cm without affecting the vessels, muscles and veins responsible for erection.
Important!There are several options for performing the operation, depending on the type of access: suprapubic, transscrotal, subcoronary.
Lipofilling
Most of the operations (90 out of 100 cases) are done to increase the length of the penis, and 10 - for volume or thickness. How is the penis made thicker?
- A special needle is used to collect fatty material from the thighs or abdomen.
- Then the resulting material is processed and fat-free tissue is removed from it.
- Some specialists put the penis into an artificial erection state, which ensures an even distribution of material throughout the organ. Lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia.
- A small incision is made in the penis. Fat is slowly injected under the skin with a needle or a special injector. The surgeon will help distribute the material properly so that the penis is enlarged evenly.
The result of the lipofilling is noticeable immediately after completion: the penis enlarges by around 30%.This surgical method has a number of advantages over others: it is safer, the patient's own cells are used, and rehabilitation takes place in a short time. However, after a while, the process will have to be repeated, as the result will be short-lived.
Fallo prosthetics
Fallo prosthetics are recommended for men who have erection problems, as well as congenital abnormalities of the genitals.
During the operation, special prostheses are inserted into the erectile tissue of the penis, of which there are several types:
- One-piece plastic prostheses;
- Inflatable two-part prostheses;
- Three-part prostheses.
Dentures are elastic (rigid) and hydraulic.Elastic prostheses are cheaper. The erection of the penis occurs due to targeted effort, but the constant, semi-erect state of the penis can cause discomfort to a man. Inflatable or hydraulic prostheses are more technological, they allow the penis to be calm and erect. All types of implants allow the penis to return to its correct shape.
The prosthesis implantation operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1. 5-2 hours. After the operation, there is no risk of bringing the organ back to its previous size. The disadvantages of fallo prosthetics include:
- High risk of prosthesis rejection,
- Formation of fibrous tissue around the prosthesis,
- Length can be shortened by 1-2 cm.
Microsurgical muscle transplant
It is possible to enlarge the penis by transplanting a flap of skin and fat. The material (skin with fat content) is taken from the buttocks area and sewn around the torso.
With the help of microsurgical muscle transplantation, it is possible to enlarge the penis by 3-4 cm, but such an operation is considered one of the most difficult and expensive. The patient is under general anesthesia for more than 3 hours and the recovery period takes a long time.
Indications and contraindications for surgery
Not all men are completely satisfied with their penis size. On this basis, some people experience penile dysmorphophobia caused by obsessive-compulsive thoughts that something is wrong with the penis. A mental disorder leads to a lack of self-confidence in a man, which affects his communication with women and behavior in society. These fears are mostly unfounded.
For reference!The average penis size in an adult male is 9. 5 or more, the small penis is discussed when the size of the penis is less than 9. 5 cm. If the size of the penis when stretched is no more than 3 cm, then it is called a micropenis.
If the sex organ is working properly and satisfying both men and women, surgery is not necessary.The operation can be performed for cosmetic and surgical purposes. The first group of operations is the most common. Penile plastic surgery is necessary:
- with a decrease or absence in potency;
- with congenital abnormalities in the development of the penis, its curvature and deformation, also as a result of diseases;
- with hypertrophy of cartilage and cavernous bodies of the penis;
- from dissatisfaction with size, both too small and too big;
- when the patient decides to change gender;
- with injuries and damage to the penis.
Most of the patients who see the surgeon are mature men who knowingly go under the knife to adjust their dignity.
Complications
Like other surgical procedures, penis enlargement surgery can lead to complications. Modern medical technology makes it possible to reduce their number. Most often, unpleasant consequences arise due to the unprofessional nature of the doctor.
A failed operation can result in:
- decreased penile sensitivity and impotence,
- Change in normal erection angle,
- Scar,
- Infection,
- a decrease in penis length due to the accumulation of the incised tissue on the pelvic floor, which may cause some of it to be inside;
- Painful urination or erections,
- Discomfort during sex.
The listed complications occur in the first year after an unsuccessful operation and become a reason for repeated medical interventions.

Under the influence of constant exertion (at least 8 hours a day for 3 or more months), the penis can increase in size by 2-3 cm. This method is considered the most popular due to its effectiveness and the absence of side effects.
- Hanging loads.Let this way of dealing with what is given by nature be a thing of the past.
- Vacuum pumpor a vacuum pump will help increase the length and thickness of the penis. However, the changes are temporary, so it is recommended to use it immediately before intercourse.

If none of the above methods have produced the desired result and the need for penis enlargement has not gone away over time, penis plastic surgery will help solve the problem.
