Penis enlargement surgery is a fairly common procedure that involves certain risks and should only be performed if there are clear indications. Many patients are happy with the result, and some develop complications that require additional recovery.
Advantages of the operation
Plastic surgery for penis enlargement has a significant number of benefits that draw men into performing this manipulation:
- No need to constantly take pills with short-term effects that negatively affect the body;
- During the operation, modern technologies are used that minimize the risk of negative consequences;
- Improving the quality of intimate relationships between sexual partners;
- Eliminate 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 for preparing for the operation.
Indications for the operation
Penis enlargement surgery requires real indications. If, due to psychological uncertainty in his own abilities, the patient wants to change the size of the penis, then the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is required in this case.
The list of the main indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Densification 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 size organ that is unable to perform full-fledged sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). In addition, surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the existence of normal normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for surgery:
- A large amount of adipose tissue that is located in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing surgery for penis enlargement, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average size of the penis in an erect state;
- Minor of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in a progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- 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 cause the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Reduced sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After the operation, erectile dysfunction can be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Instability of the penis during sexual intercourse;
- Inclination of organ angle during an upright state;
- Reduction in penis size;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with getting an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Operating methods
Methods of penis enlargement 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 with spinal anesthesia (injection of painkillers into the spinal cord). The manipulation is carried out with an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissue and significantly shortens the rehabilitation time.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon will push the penis forward, which will increase its size. In actual 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 required for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the cut.
Rehabilitation takes up to several months. During this time there is a dependency on the organ and the healing process on tissues that gradually become scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly wear an extender to definitively fix the result obtained.
The cost of a ligamentotomy is in the medium range. The pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this type and is fully justified if the operation is carried out in the presence of obvious indications and subject to the readiness of the body for surgical intervention.
Fallo prosthetics
Fallo prosthetics is one of the most difficult surgeries because the genitals are replaced with an implant. Such manipulation is often carried out when changing sex and has a significant number of complications, therefore it requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
Rigid, inflatable, and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation takes place under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is inserted into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about cost, the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible to the main group of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery that thickens the penis. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to achieve the desired effect.
When adipose tissue settles in, a gradual addiction occurs and the genital organ functions normally. In order for the procedure to give the right result, it must be done 2-3 times a year, as fat can be absorbed and create empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, so this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise if symptoms are negative.
The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm, the patient is discharged home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (intimacy is forbidden to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplant
A penis enlargement is possible through microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is used quite rarely because of its high cost.
The essence of the operation consists in wrapping the penis with a flap of tissue and suturing the vessels, which increases its size. The procedure takes about 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin has good roots and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery takes 3 months, provided all doctor's prescriptions are followed. Pain on the penis is noted within 20-25 days.
Penile prosthesis surgery
Penile replacement surgery is a manipulation that is applied without the result of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for implementation:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not match the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Improper surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which arose against the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you need to complete special training:
- Exclusion of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology) that are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a full examination of the patient is carried out;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must 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 pubic bone. After surgery, it is contraindicated to eat any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for about 3 months. The lack of erection lasts up to 20 days and intimate relationships are prohibited for 60 days.
Possible complications of the operation include rejection of the inserted prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and wound infections. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and carry out repeated manipulations to correct the situation that has arisen.
In prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who will select the most suitable implant and rule out possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods of penis enlargement
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for enlarging the penis that are discussed in the list below.
- Use of a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood flow to the organ and has an immediate but short-term effect. The impact is achieved 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 as directed. The negative consequences of such use include darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, increased trauma to the organ.
- Use an extender.A special device with mechanical action that helps to enlarge the penis. To have a noticeable effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: High risk of injury to the penis (circulatory disorders that lead to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noted when using the device (hanging a load on an organ that causes its curvature and deformation).
- Dietary supplements and other herbal preparations.Doctors' opinions on this topic differ, as many experts consider such therapy only as an auxiliary therapy. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking pills. Such funds can be used to improve potency in general.
Reviews from doctors and patients
The reactions of doctors and patients are different, since in this regard a lot depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its readiness for surgery.
The surgeon's criticism: "As a qualified surgeon, I would like to say that penis enlargement operations must be carried out if there are compelling indications. Most often, such manipulations are carried out with severe organ deformations, congenital anomalies and very small penis sizes, it is important to correctly assess the general condition of the patient and exclude the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient report: "Yes, I also have problems because I have a small penis. I have been to the hospital several times, but the doctors say there is no indication and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to get fallo prosthetics. "but I don't know how safe this operation is. "
