- lipofilling;
- microsurgical muscle transplant;
- phalloprosthetic;
- introduction of implants;
- Introduction to the collagen matrix.
Non-surgical technique: injections into the penis with hyaluronic acid.
What is the intervention, how much will the operation cost per member, how it will happen and its consequences, we will consider in more detail.
Ligamentotomy
One of the most common operations to increase the length of the penis is the ligamentotomy. It is performed in all clinics, often it is not performed for medical reasons, but at the request of men.
Essence of the operation:
- Doctors surgically cut the ligaments that attach the penis to the pelvic bones. Penis elongation is done by pulling the inside of the penis and fixing it in a new position.
- To prevent improper healing of the ligaments after surgery, doctors recommend using a stretcher. You have to wear it for 2 to 8 hours a day.
- Sexual activity is contraindicated for 2 weeks after surgery.
The operation is not very traumatic, it is performed through a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia and lasts within an hour.
Penis enlargement can be up to 5 cm. The extension can be continued using an extender for up to 6 months on the recommendation of the surgeon.
Lipofilling
This method will surgically increase the thickness of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
Performed for aesthetic reasons by a man who considers his subtle organ. An important condition is the correspondence of the length and thickness of the intimate dignity.
How will this be done? Surgically, it is not complex:
- Adipose tissue is taken from the pubic area or another area of a man, processed and injected with a syringe under the skin of the penis.
- It is technically important to introduce fatty tissue evenly to avoid disturbing the correct shape of the penis.
- Anesthesia - anesthesia. The pubic seam is cosmetic.
- In the postoperative period, avoid physical activity for 1 month, sexual rest for two months.
The disadvantage of lipofilling is the need for surgical correction after 2 years.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
This penis enlargement surgery is performed for medical and aesthetic reasons.
Medical indications due to:
- post-traumatic conditions;
- congenital pathology;
- past diseases of the member;
- sex change in case of hermaphroditism;
- micropenis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia for several hours:
- In the first stage, the penis is prepared,
- then muscle tissue is taken from the pectoral muscles or abdomen.
- The flap is sutured to the tissues of the penis, the vessels and nerves are sutured.
Rehabilitation takes 1, 5 - 2 months.
Phalloprosthesis
Phalloprosthesis was first performed in 1936. Inspired by the presence of a special bone in the penis in walruses and seals, the surgeon transplanted the rib cartilage into the patient's corpus cavernosum.
Other materials for plastics are used in modern clinics.
Phalloprosthesis shown:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- complete plastic for penis removal, sex change.
The prostheses are:
- Rigid - silicone tubes implanted in the corpora cavernosa, which provide a permanent erection.
Such prostheses are uncomfortable: the penis is always standing.
- Semi-rigid: they have a special design that allows you to move the penis from a suspended position to a standing position with a slight movement of the hand.
Inflatable and self-loading prostheses are more physiological. Pressing on the scrotum turns on a special pump that fills the prosthesis with air or liquid from a hidden balloon.
Placement of implants
Increasing the thickness of the male organ involves the use of implants encapsulated in gel or silicone instead of those obtained from human tissues.
Requirements for them:
- implants must be synthetic;
- has filling properties, ie elasticity and softness;
- the possibility of stable fixation in the phallus.
Augmented endoprosthesis has a number of advantages:
- security;
- convenience;
- efficiency;
- no contraindications;
- does not require special training;
- there are no negative effects on erectile and reproductive function.
To do this, a 2. 5-3 cm long incision is made along the coronal sulcus, canals are formed at the root of the penis, encapsulated implants are inserted and their fixation to the tunica albuginea is allowed.
Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections will allow to increase the length by 1-3 cm and the thickness by 3-5 cm. A minimum general clinical examination is required first. This surgical treatment is performed on an outpatient basis:
- Under local anesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected with a cannula or needle, which causes some discomfort.
- Handling takes about 10 minutes.
- The effect of the increase lasts up to one and a half years, then the injection is repeated in smaller doses.
Collagen matrix
Perform the operation at the request of the man. In place of its own tissues, special capsules are inserted into the penis that stimulate the production of its own connective tissue by the organ.
Indications for surgery
Medical indications for phalloplasty:
- small penis and micropenis;
- malformations (epi- and hypospadias);
- genital trauma;
- traumatic amputation;
- sex change.
The rest of the penis enlargement programs are performed at the request of the patient.
Contraindications are similar for any planned surgery:
- increase in temperature;
- acute infectious process;

- threat of erectile dysfunction;
- opposite effect, penis reduction;
- inflammatory process;
- graft rejection.
Restore
The longest recovery period is observed after phalloplasty. The hospital stay reaches 2 weeks. Physical activity and sex life are limited for 2 months. This also applies to lipofilling. The rest of the interventions allow sexual activity after 2 weeks.
- Hyaluronic acid injections - limited use of the sauna and hot baths.
