Penis enlargement surgery is a fairly common procedure that involves certain risks and should only be performed in clear indications. Many patients are happy with the result and some get complications that require further healing.
Benefits of surgery
Penis enlargement plastic surgery has several benefits that make men want to perform this manipulation:
- You do not need to constantly take short-acting tablets that have a negative effect on your body;
- The operation uses modern technologies 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, you need to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations to prepare for the operation.
Indications for operation
Penis enlargement surgery requires real signals. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to the psychological uncertainty of their own abilities, then in this case it is necessary to recommend a qualified psychologist.
List of main indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Compression of genital tissues;
- Congenital disorders of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often, the operation is performed on a small organ size that is unable to have full sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). In addition, the surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a regular normal sex life.
Physicians are considering additional indications for the operation:
- Large amounts of adipose tissue found in the genitals;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing an operation to enlarge the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- Presence of the average size of the penis in an erect state;
- Age of young minor;
- Diabetes mellitus in progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitals;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases which spread to the skin of the organ;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during the operation or severe non-compliance with recovery recommendations can lead to the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain in case of erection;
- Decreased sensitivity of the organ head.
Erectile dysfunction may be observed for some time after surgery with the following symptoms:
- Penile instability during intercourse;
- The angle of the organ angle when erect;
- Reducing penis size;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Methods of operation
The methods of penis enlargement are based on the use of different methods depending on the indications available and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This surgery is performed under spinal anesthesia (painkillers are injected into the spinal cord). Manipulation is performed with an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, ensuring an extension of its size. In the actual measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but the 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 surgery, the scar of the vulva remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation takes several months. During this period, there is dependence on the organ and the healing process of gradually scarring tissues. For recovery, an extension cord must be worn continuously to permanently record the result obtained.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the mid-range. Pricing policy has an average value among such procedures, and it is entirely justified that the operation be performed in the presence of obvious indications and depending on whether the body is ready for surgery.
Falloprotetics
A wall prosthesis is one of the most difficult operations as it involves the replacement of the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed when the sex is changed and has a significant number of complications and therefore requires long recovery and adherence to medical recommendations.
Rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about costs, the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible to the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a 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.
During adipose tissue implantation, a gradual dependence develops and the genitals function normally. In order for the procedure to give a proper result, it should be done 2-3 times a year, as fat can be absorbed and form voids, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, so if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm. The patient is discharged for 2 days and the rehabilitation process lasts for 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible using microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is used quite infrequently because of its high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a tissue wing and sew on the blood vessels, thereby increasing its size. The duration of the procedure is about 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin is well rooted and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After surgery, the patient is released 5-6 days later. Healing takes 3 months, provided all the instructions of your doctor are followed. Penis pain is detected within 20-25 days.
Penis 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 correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Improper surgery;
- Impotence, which developed in the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform this operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the prosthesis is contraindicated in diseases (heart disease, tuberculosis, oncology). In this case, a full examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for a lack of erection for several months after surgery);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted using the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. It is contraindicated to consume any food for 10-12 hours after surgery.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Lack of erection lasts up to 20 days and intimate intercourse is prohibited for 60 days.
Possible complications of the surgery include rejection of the implanted prosthesis, development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and wound infection. With such symptoms, you should go to the hospital immediately and repeat manipulations to correct the situation.
When performing dentures, it is important to look for a good surgeon who will select the most appropriate implant and rule out the possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods to enlarge the penis
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for penis enlargement, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the organ and has an immediate but short-term effect. The blow is provided by changing the pressure at the airless location of the pump where the penis is located. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence and should only be used as directed. The negative consequences of such use include darkening of the organ due to a number of bruises and contusions, increased trauma to the organ.
- Using an extension cord.A special mechanical device that helps to enlarge the penis. It must be used for several years to achieve a tangible effect. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of penile damage (impaired blood flow leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences can also be observed during the use of the device (hanging of a load on an organ, which causes its curvature and deformation).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.Physicians have differing views on this issue, as many experts see such therapy only as an aid. Therefore, the patient should clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking tablets. Such funds can usually be used to improve potential.
Opinions of doctors and patients
Physicians and patients respond differently, as much in this regard depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body, and readiness for surgery.
Surgeon's review: "As a trained surgeon, I want to say that penis enlargement operations should be performed if there are convincing indications. Most often, such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformities, congenital abnormalities, and very small penis sizes. Appropriate technique, it is important to properly assessand to rule out the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient report: "Yes, I also have problems because my penis is small. I've been to the hospital several times, but the doctors say there is no sign and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to get an ovum protector, but I don't know how muchthis operation is safe. "
