The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his heredity. In some cases, insufficient penis size is due to hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
At the moment, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on an operation, the man must take into account all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, penis enlargement can be achieved in length and width. Men often resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques for changing your penis size:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and safe, but it is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence is in the incision of the suspension ligament (deligation suspensorium penis - ligament of suspension of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and the subsequent use of a special orthopedic device (expander) enlarges the penis by 4-6 years. After ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and align the shape of the penis.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by introducing the patient's fatty tissue under the skin of the genital organ. The operation can enlarge the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. It does not require much recovery time, however, the effect is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgical procedure that aims to increase the diameter of the penis. The transplant uses tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia. The flap is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are sutured. As a result, the diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
- The phalloprosthesis is performed exclusively according to strict indications, including not only an insufficient size of the penis, but also its dysfunction. Cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used for the prosthesis.
Readings
With the exception of developmental anomalies, when penis enlargement is necessary to have a normal sex life, this operation is performed for aesthetic reasons.
If the penis is functioning normally and the man is able to reproduce, there are no direct indications for surgical intervention. How much phalloplasty is needed - the specialist will decide.
Contraindications
Penis enlargement surgery is contraindicated if the patient has serious illnesses, injuries to internal organs, blood clotting disorders, diabetes mellitus, oncology, etc.
The decision on the possibility of phalloplasty will be made by the attending physician, based on the test results and the patient's health status.
Preparation for surgery
Before the operation, the surgeon consults the patient. The doctor will inform you of all possible risks and consequences, as well as selecting the most appropriate surgical technique.
In the preparatory phase, the man should undergo a complete examination of the body with the aim of possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, undergo an ECG and X-ray procedure and be examined by a urologist.
Progress of the operation
Regardless of the method chosen at the clinic, the operation will be performed under general anesthesia. The course of the operation depends on the desired result, as well as the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take about an hour on average. Muscle transplant - about 3 hours. The duration of the prosthetic operation is 1-2 hours.
Recovery
The rehabilitation period after ligamentotomy is relatively short: after the operation, the patient will have to stay in the hospital for about 2 days. After discharge, you must attend regularly for examination and dressing. After 2-3 weeks, the seam becomes invisible. You will have to use the extender for at least 6 months.
Falloprothesis will require a longer and more serious recovery period. Its duration depends on the man's body.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will take at least 5 weeks.
A small penis is a very delicate problem that prevents a man from leading a normal life. The specialists of the medical center "CM-Clinic" have the necessary qualifications for the penis enlargement operation. To learn more about phalloplasty, make an appointment with a surgeon.
