Which doctor to go to
Since male penis enlargement surgeries fall into the category of plastic surgery, namely intimate plastic surgery, it is advisable to seek the help of a plastic surgeon specializing in urology or andrology.
Before contacting a correction center, consult an andrologist or urologist, you may suggest less traumatic manipulations to exacerbate the problem - such as injecting hyaluron into the penis.
The level of development of plastic surgery effectively increases the penis in modern clinics.
More than 10, 000 such operations are performed worldwide each year, and the number of interventions is increasing.
Types of actions
Penis enlargement - the lengthening or thickening of the penis.
The following surgeries exist for surgical resizing of male dignity:
- ligamentotomy;
- lipofilling;
- microsurgical muscle transplantation;
- oocytes; introduction of
- implants; Introduction of
- collagen matrix.
Non-surgical technique - injections into the penis with hyaluronic acid.
We will examine in more detail what the intervention will cost, how much the operation will cost a member, how it will occur, and what the consequences will be.
Ligamentotomy
One of the most common operations to increase penis length is ligamentotomy. They are performed in all clinics, often not for medical reasons but at the request of men.
The essence of the operation is
- The doctor will surgically cut the ligaments that bind the penis to the pelvic bones. The penis is extended by tightening the inside of the penis and repositioning it.
- To prevent the tapes from healing properly after surgery, doctors recommend stretchers. You have to wear it for 2-8 hours a day.
- Sexual activity is contraindicated for 2 weeks after surgery.
Surgery is less traumatic, is performed under anesthesia with a small incision in the scrotum, and lasts within an hour.
The size of the penis should not exceed 5 cm. The extension can be continued with an extension cord for 6 months at the surgeon’s recommendation.
Lipofilling
This method surgically increases the thickness of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
It is performed for aesthetic reasons by a person who considers his organ to be thin. An important condition is the adequacy of the length and thickness of intimate dignity.
How will this work? Surgically uncomplicated:
- Adipose tissue is taken from a person’s vulva or other zone, processed, and injected under the skin of the penis with a syringe.
- It is technically important to introduce adipose tissue evenly to avoid disturbing the proper shape of the penis.
- Anesthesia - anesthesia. The pubic suture is cosmetic.
- In the postoperative period, avoid physical activity for 1 month and sexual rest for two months.
The disadvantage of lipofilling is that surgical correction is required after 2 years.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
This penis enlargement surgery is performed for medical and aesthetic reasons.
Medical indications for
- post-traumatic conditions;
- congenital pathology;
- previous illnesses of the member;
- non-change in hermaphroditism;
- micropenis.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for several hours:
- The penis is completed in the first stage, The
- muscle tissue is then taken from the pectoral muscles or the abdomen.
- The lid is sewn to the tissues of the penis, the blood vessels and nerves are sutured.
Rehabilitation takes 1, 5 - 2 months.
Fall Prosthetics
Fall prosthetics were first performed in 1936. In the presence of special bone in the penis in the walruses and seals, the surgeon transplanted the coastal cartilage into the patient’s corpus cavernosum.
Other clinics use other materials for plastics.
Fall prosthesis visible:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- full plastic for penis removal, gender reassignment.
The dentures:
- Rigid - silicone tubes implanted in the corpora cavernosa that provide a permanent erection.
Such dentures are uncomfortable - the penis is always standing.
- Semi-rigid - specially designed to allow the penis to be moved to a suspended position with a slight movement of the hand.
Inflatable and self-inflating prostheses are more physiological. Pressing on the scrotum turns on a special pump that fills the prosthesis with air or fluid from a hidden balloon.
Inserting implants
Increasing the thickness of the male organ involves using gel or silicone encapsulated implants instead of implants obtained from the man's own tissues.
Requirements for them:
- implants are synthetic;
- has filler properties, i. e. flexibility and softness;
- Possibility of stable fixation in the phallus.
Extended endoprosthetics have several benefits:
- security;
- convenience;
- efficiency;
- there are no contraindications;
- does not require special training;
- has no negative effect on erectile and reproductive functions.
To perform such an operation, a 2. 5- to 3-cm-long incision is made along the coronal groove, forming channels to the root of the penis, inserting implanted implants, and allowing them to be attached to the tunica albuginea.
Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections allow you to increase the length by 1-3 cm and the thickness by 3-5 cm. First, a minimal general clinical examination is required. 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.
- Manipulation takes about 10 minutes.
- The effect of the increase lasts for a year and a half, and then the injection is repeated in smaller doses.
Collagen Matrix
Perform the operation at the person's request. Instead of its own tissues, special capsules are placed in the penis that stimulate the production of the organ’s own connective tissue.

- small penis and micropenis;
- disorders (epi- and hypospadias);
- genital trauma;
