Men often think about the question of what constitutes surgical penis enlargement. It should be remembered: this intervention refers to surgical treatment methods. Therefore, it is impossible to change the size of the organ for everyone who does not have indications for such a procedure.
Penis Enlargement Surgery: What is the penis change surgically like?
The normal size of the erect penis is considered to be 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 masculinity dimensions can also resort to the operation - although there is no need, there are no prohibitions on it either, and the owner of the penis decides everything. In this article, we will tell you how it is performed, how much penis enlargement surgery costs, what comments 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 looks longer, as there is a redistribution of centimeters towards the visible part. This operation was first performed in 1990.
Penis enlargement by surgery takes place according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligaments at the base of the penis.
- It frees the corpora cavernosa to the point where the arteries enter them.
- It fixes the corpora cavernosa in an altered position at the level of the severed ligaments.
- After the surgical sutures are removed 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 suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronary incision). Which type will be chosen depends on the morphological characteristics of the man's penis - it is determined after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
This is not to say that surgically elongating the penis is a simple and painless procedure. Augmentation plastic surgery is performed only under general anesthesia. If the patient has contraindications for anesthesia, this operation will not be performed.
You also need to remember that a few 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 expander options that can be used with the combined penis enlargement method.
"Does it hurt to lengthen a penis with an operation, will there be consequences? "many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure the surgical procedure is not pleasant. The operation itself, as already mentioned, takes place under anesthesia, but after that the man will have to endure pain (lasts a few days) and then discomfort due to an uncomfortable and unusual condition. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the staples or 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). The 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 of the penis. To enhance the effect, in addition to the operation to enlarge the penis, mechanical stretching of the tissues of the penis is performed (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 entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
Recovery after this operation takes several weeks. A man can walk and sit up in 4-5 days, but the erection will only return after 1-2 months.
There is a downside to the introduction of a silicone implant - it may not take root after the operation. To avoid this, surgical augmentation may be requested, in which fat is pumped out instead of an artificial implant. Adipose tissue is considered the most natural and safest type of penile filler. It is 100% compatible with male tissues, which minimizes the risk of inflammation. After insertion, it does not move (the fat implant is stable), moreover, it looks the most natural.
Penis enlargement by a surgical method with the help of a certain amount of fatty tissue has another advantage - 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 by up to 40% - and this can be both an operation to enlarge the penis and an operation to change the length.
The downside is that some of the fat cells dissolve after a year or two, and the skin starts to stick together due to stretching and the voids formed. This isn't very pretty - you'll have to do an additional cosmetic operation to pump out new fat or cut sagging skin.
Changing the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
Operations to enlarge the penis according to the Savva Perovich method 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 performs a cardinal division of the organ into its constituent parts - the doctor surgically separates the corpora cavernosa along the entire length of the hanging part of the male penis (from the corpus spongiosum to the glans).
- Between the corpora cavernosa and the head, pieces of costal cartilage from a man are placed or an artificial prosthesis (silicone or helium) is inserted.
- As a result, the elements of the penis are lengthened to the desired size (maximum - up to 7 centimeters).
It is worth performing this enlargement operation, only after carefully weighing the pros and cons, it will be impossible to return to the previous state of the penis after surgery. It's also worth preparing for a long recovery period. For example, a full erection after surgery will only return after 2-3 months.
Male dignity lipofilling
Lipofilling of a male penis is a non-invasive microsurgical procedure that does not require any 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 its help you can only correct the diameter of the penis (by 5-15 millimeters). The material necessary for the procedure is extracted by liposuction from the places of its excessive deposition on a man's body: in the suprapubic zone, on the hips, abdomen, buttocks.
As this is not really a penis enlargement operation, but rather a cosmetic procedure, recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only one day and then is discharged, but the patient will have to abstain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks.
The downside of the procedure is that, as with fat implants, 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 or three years.
Abdominal muscle tissue transplant
There is another type of surgery that can be used to enlarge the penis - a muscle flap transplant. A part of a man's rectus abdominis muscle with fragments of the vascular system adjacent to it is used as a starting material. During the operation, the muscle is retracted towards the penis, where it is attached to its natural tissues.
Sum up. In the article, we list the main methods of how to enlarge the penis surgically. Many men think about this, but they should remember that augmentation surgeries 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 necessary, and the size of the man is normal (the desire to stretch or increase the thickness is just a whim). Still, doctors in their reviews are unanimous: operations should be done only in accordance with medical prescriptions - but it is still a man who makes the final decision about surgical penis enlargement.
