The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his heredity. In some cases, the insufficient size of the penis is due to hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
Currently, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on surgery, the man should consider all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, an increase in the length and width of the penis can be achieved. Men often resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques for resizing the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and safe, but is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the section of the suspension ligament (otligamentum suspensorium penis - suspending ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and the subsequent wearing of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6 see After ligamentotomy, our clinic may 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 inserting the patient's adipose tissue under the skin of the genital organ. The operation can enlarge the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. However, it does not require long-term recovery, its effect is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgical procedure aimed at increasing the diameter of the penis. Transplantation uses tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia. The valve is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are sutured. As a result, the diameter of the penis can increase by 3-4 cm.
- Phalloprosthetics are performed exclusively under strict indications, including not only insufficient penis size, but also its dysfunction. Cartilage or elastic materials are used for the prosthesis.
Indications
With the exception of developmental abnormalities, when penis enlargement is necessary for 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 surgery. How much phalloplasty is needed - the specialist will decide.
Contraindications
Penis enlargement surgery is contraindicated if the patient has serious diseases, lesions of the internal organs, blood clotting disorders, diabetes, oncology and others.
The decision on the possibility of phalloplasty will be made by the attending physician based on the results of the examinations and the patient's health condition.
Preparing for operation
Before the operation, the surgeon consults with the patient. The doctor will tell you about all possible risks and consequences, as well as choose the most appropriate technique of surgery.
At the preparatory stage, the man will have to undergo a thorough examination of the body for possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, undergo an ECG and X-ray procedure and be examined by a urologist.
Operation progress
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 on the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take an average of about an hour. Muscle transplantation - 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 will need to come regularly for an examination and dressing. After 2-3 weeks the seam becomes almost invisible. You will need to wear the extension cord for at least 6 months.
Phalloprosthetics 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.
The 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 operation for penis enlargement. To learn more about phalloplasty, make an appointment with a surgeon.
