Men often think about the question of what constitutes a surgical penis enlargement. It should be remembered: this intervention refers to the methods of surgical treatment. Therefore, it is impossible to change the size of the organ to everyone who does not have indications for such a procedure.
Penis Enlargement Surgery: How is the change of the penis surgically
The normal size of the erect penis is considered to be from 11 to 19 centimeters. A penis less than 10 centimeters in length is considered small, and less than 5 cm is considered a micropenis (this is an anatomical pathology). With deviations from the norm that interfere with normal life, a man is recommended plastic surgery. A man with normal dimensions of manhood can also resort to the operation - although there is no need, there are no prohibitions on this either, and the owner of the penis decides everything. In this article, we will tell you how it is carried out, how much penis enlargement surgery costs, what reviews are left by men who decide on surgical resizing.
Changing the size of the penis by ligamentotomy
Now, the main operation is to lengthen the penis using the ligamentotomy method. At the same time, the penis itself, in fact, does not change in size, but visually it seems longer, as there is a redistribution of centimeters towards the visible part. This operation was first performed in 1990.
The penis enlargement by surgery occurs according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligaments at the base of the penis.
- Releases the cavernous bodies to the point where the arteries enter them.
- Fixes the cavernous bodies in a changed position at the level of cut off ligaments.
- After removing the surgical sutures and the swelling subsides, the penis will appear 3-5 cm longer.
There are several types of surgical operation depending on the location of the incision (it is possible to achieve penis enlargement through the suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronary incision). Which type will be chosen depends on the morphological features of the man's penis - it is determined after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
This is not to say that penis lengthening by surgery is a simple and painless procedure. Plastic augmentation surgery is performed only under general anesthesia. If the patient has contraindications for anesthesia, then this operation will not be performed.
You also need to remember that a couple of months after the operation, the penis will have to be fixed with bandages or a plastic expander so that the ligaments remember the new position. The photo shows one of the options for the expander that can be worn with the combined method of penis enlargement.
"Does it hurt to lengthen a penis with an operation, will there be consequences? "many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure that the surgical procedure is not pleasant. The operation itself, as already mentioned, takes place under anesthesia, but after it the man will have to endure pain (it lasts a couple of days), and then discomfort due to an uncomfortable, unusual condition. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the clamps or the expander, slight discomfort is also possible, then everything returns to normal.
Introduction of the prosthesis into the organ
Another type of penis enlargement surgery is the placement of a prosthesis through a transverse incision of the albuginea (this penis enlargement operation is also called a corporotomy). Enlargement of the penis occurs due to the fact that a prosthesis of obviously greater length is placed in the intracavernous space. This leads to stretching of the skin on the penis. To enhance the effect, in addition to the operation to increase the penis, a mechanical stretching of the tissues of the penis is done (using an expander).
Various "parts" can be used as an implant. For example, many clinics now use a silicone implant that increases the length of the penis by 5 centimeters. The implant is inserted through a small incision in the groin. The whole procedure takes place under local anesthesia.
Recovery after such an operation takes several weeks. A man can walk and sit in 4-5 days, but the erection will return only after 1-2 months.
There is a disadvantage to the introduction of a silicone implant - it may not take root after the operation. To avoid this, surgical augmentation can be ordered, in which fat is pumped in instead of an artificial implant. Adipose tissue is considered the most natural and safe type of penile filler. It is 100% compatible with male tissues, which reduces the risk of inflammation to a minimum. After insertion, it does not move (the fat implant is stable), in addition, it looks the most natural.
Penis enlargement by a surgical method with the help of a certain amount of adipose tissue has another plus - recovery after surgery takes about 5-6 days, and its results are immediately visible. According to doctors, the operation allows you to increase the size of the penis up to 40% - and this can be both an operation to thicken the penis and an operation to change the length.
The downside is that part of the fat cells dissolves after a year or two, and the skin begins to gather due to stretching and voids formed. This is not very beautiful - you will have to do an additional cosmetic operation to pump in new fat or cut off sagging skin.
Changing the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
Operations to increase the penis according to the method of Savva Perovich is a complex procedure, but it allows to achieve quite tangible changes in the size of a man's penis. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The scheme of the procedure is as follows:
- The surgeon conducts a cardinal division of the organ into its component parts - the doctor surgically separates the cavernous bodies along the entire length of the hanging part of the male penis (from the spongy body to the glans penis).
- Between the cavernous bodies and the head, pieces of costal cartilage of a man are placed or an artificial (silicone or helium) prosthesis is inserted.
- As a result, the elements of the penis are lengthened to the desired size (maximum - up to 7 centimeters).
It is worth carrying out this enlargement operation, only after carefully weighing the pros and cons, it will be impossible to return the previous state of the penis after surgery. It is also worth preparing for a long recovery period. For example, a full erection after surgery will return only after 2-3 months.
Lipofilling of male dignity
Lipofilling of a male penis is a microsurgical non-invasive procedure that does not require open incisions. This penis enlargement surgery is a staged subcutaneous injection of the patient's own tissue. It is not used to increase the length - with the help of it, you can only correct the diameter of the penis (by 5-15 millimeters). The material required for the procedure is extracted by lipoaspiration from the places of its excessive deposition in the body of a man: in the suprapubic zone, on the hips, abdomen, buttocks.
Since this is not really an operation to thicken the penis, but rather a cosmetic procedure, the recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only one day, and then he is discharged, but the patient will have to refrain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks.
The disadvantage of the procedure is that, as with fat implantation, the result will not be eternal. The tissue injected into the penis during this procedure tends to dissolve. You will have to repeat the injections every two to three years.
Transplantation of muscle tissue from the abdomen
There is another type of surgery that can be used to enlarge the penis - a muscle flap transplant. A part of the rectus abdominis muscle of a man with fragments of the vascular system adjacent to it is used as the starting material. During the operation, the muscle is retracted towards the penis, where it is fixed to its natural tissues.
Summarize. In the article, we have listed the main methods of how to enlarge a penis in a surgical way. Many men think about this, but they should remember that augmentation operations can be successful, and complications can occur, so you need to weigh the pros and cons before you lie down on the surgeon's table. In half of the cases, surgery is not required, and the size of the man is normal (the desire to lengthen or increase the thickness is just a whim). Still, doctors in their reviews are unanimous: operations should be done only according to medical prescriptions - but it is still a man who makes the final decision on surgical penis enlargement.
