In order for the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations for preparing for the operation.
Indications for the operation
Penis augmentation surgery requires real directions. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty in their abilities, then the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is required in this case.
The list of the main indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Compaction of tissues in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ that is unable to carry out full sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). In addition, surgery is performed with severe injuries that prevent the presence of a normal normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for the operation:
- A large amount of adipose tissue, which is found in the genital organ;
- hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing an operation to enlarge the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average size of the penis in an erect state;
- Younger age of a young person;
- Progressive diabetes mellitus;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases with spread to the skin of the organ;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Mistakes during the operation or non-compliance with the recommendations for recovery can cause the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding
- Swelling of the penis
- Pain when an erection occurs
- Reduced sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After the operation, erectile dysfunction can be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Instability of the penis during intercourse;
- Tilting of the angle of the organ during an upright state;
- Reduce the size of the penis;
- severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Death of necrotic tissue.
Methods of operation
The methods for penis enlargement operations are based on the use of various methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This is done using spinal anesthesia (injection of pain relievers into the spinal cord). Manipulation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly shortens the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is approximately 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures that its size is lengthened. With actual measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but the characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital on the second day and goes home. It is necessary to relieve pain for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this period of time, there is a dependence on the organ and the healing process of the tissues, which are gradually scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly wear an extender to finally fix the obtained result.
The cost of the ligamentotomy is in the mid-range. The pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of clear indications and subject to the availability of the organism for surgery.
Phalloprosthesis
Phalloprosthesis is one of the most difficult operations, as it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed when changing sex and has a considerable number of complications, therefore, it requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
Rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about costs, the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible for the main category of the population.
lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery in which the penis is thickened. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to achieve the desired effect.
When adipose tissue grafted, a gradual dependence occurs and the genital organ functions normally. In order for the procedure to give the correct result, it must be carried out 2-3 times a year, as fat can be absorbed and form gaps, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm, the patient is discharged home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplant
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is used quite rarely, as it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a flap of tissue and suture the vessels, thereby increasing its size. The procedure takes approximately 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin takes root well and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery lasts 3 months, provided that all prescriptions of the attending physician are followed. Penis pain is noticeable within 20-25 days.
Penile prosthetic surgery
Penile replacement surgery is a manipulation that is used in the absence of a result of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Directions for carrying out:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological issues, psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Improper surgery;
- Impotence, which arose against the background of chronic progressive diseases.
To perform the operation, you need to undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (heart pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prostheses. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is carried out;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. After surgery, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days and then goes home for about 3 months. The lack of erection lasts up to 20 days, and intimate relationships are prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are rejection of the installed prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and wound infection. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and carry out repeated manipulations to correct the situation that has arisen.
When performing prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who selects the most suitable implant and excludes the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods to enlarge the penis
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for penis enlargement, which are discussed in the following list.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the organ and has an instant but short-term effect. The impact is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump, where the penis is positioned. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of such use, there is a darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, an increase in organ trauma.
- Using an extender.A special device of mechanical action, which helps to enlarge the penis. To achieve a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (impaired blood flow, leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noted when using the apparatus (hanging a load on an organ causing it to bend and deform).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.Opinions of doctors on this issue differ, as many experts consider such therapy only as an auxiliary. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ when taking pills. Such funds can be used to improve potency in general.
Reviews of doctors and patients
