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 birth defects.
At the moment, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is through surgery. However, before deciding on an operation, a man should 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 both length and width. Men often use combination surgery. There are several techniques to change the size of the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and the safest, but it is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the incision of the suspension ligament (deligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1 to 2 cm and the subsequent wearing of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis from 4 to 6 see After ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness andalign the shape of the penis.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by introducing the fatty tissue of the patient under the skin of the genital organ. The operation can enlarge the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. It does not take long for recovery, however, its effect is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgery 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. Therefore, the diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
- Falloprosthetics is carried out exclusively according to strict indications, including not only 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 abnormalities, when penis enlargement is necessary for a normal sex life, this operation is performed for cosmetic reasons.
If the penis is functioning normally and the man is able to reproduce, there is no direct indication for surgery. How much phalloplasty is required - the specialist will decide.
Contraindications
Penis enlargement surgery is contraindicated if the patient has serious illnesses, damage to internal organs, blood clotting disorders, diabetes mellitus, oncology, etc.
The decision on the possibility of phalloplasty will be made by the attending physician, depending on the results of the examinations and the patient's state of health.
Preparing for surgery
Before the operation, the surgeon consults the patient. The doctor will inform you of all the possible risks and consequences and will select the most appropriate surgical technique.
At the preparatory stage, a man will have to undergo a full body examination with the aim of possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, have an ECG and X-ray, and be examined by a urologist.
Operation progress
Whatever method is chosen in 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 to 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 your discharge, you will need to come regularly for an exam and a bandage. After 2-3 weeks, the seam becomes almost invisible. You will need to wear the extension for at least 6 months.
Falloprosthetics will require a longer and more serious recovery period. Its duration depends on the human body.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will take at least 5 weeks.
A small penis is a very delicate problem which prevents a man from leading a normal life. The specialists of the "CM-Clinic" medical center have the necessary qualifications for the penis enlargement operation. To know more about phalloplasty, make an appointment with a surgeon.
