Before deciding on such an unusual plastic surgery as penis enlargement, you need to have a clear idea of when it can and should be performed, as well as whether it is worth doing at all.
Further details on the most common surgical operations as well as their possible consequences and how the organ is enlarged using the method of operation.
Falloplasty: what it is, reasons for the appointment and contraindications
Penile plastic surgery involves either restoring the functions of the penis (both urine and sexual function) or altering its external characteristics.
The indications for falloplasty are the reasons why the penis failed or lacked functionality.
But in addition to the main reasons, there are several more in medicine:
- abnormal changes in the penis;
- damage caused by various damages (mechanical, thermal, chemical);
- underdevelopment of an organ or its small length / thickness;
- deformity of the genitals;
- neoplasms (malignant);
- cold sores;
- removal of an organ for any other reason
- erectile dysfunction, etc.
Men often turn to specialists who perform penis enlargement surgeries due to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis and especially with its size. There is a certain indicator of the norm, according to which the normal length of the penis fluctuates between 12-15 cm. But it is important to measure it correctly.
Penis is measured in three dimensions:
- resting;
- when stretched
- with an erection.
Measurement is performed in a room at room temperature immediately after undressing to avoid tissue contraction due to cooling.You can stretch the penis as much as possible by gently grasping and pulling on the head.
An organ is measured along the back (from the pubis to the head). In this case, it is recommended to hold the penis so that there is a right angle between it and the abdominal wall. If the penis length is less than 9, 5 cm, we can say that the man has a small penis.
But unfortunately, not all representatives of the stronger sex who have expressed such a desire can resort to this operation.There are a number of specific contraindications to faloplasty.These include:
- irreversible organ pathologies
- inflammatory processes in the genitals
- mental disorders
- autoimmune diseases;
- sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections;
- diabetes;
- leukemia, etc.
To find out more about the operation and at the same time consult a doctor about the possibility of its implementation,it is necessary to first visit a sexologist and then a urologist-andrologist.Once you have received a sufficient amount of information and have passed the examination, you can go directly to a surgeon with experience in performing operations on the male genitalia.
The main types of penis enlargement surgeries
There are various options for surgery to change the size of the penis. Among them, several procedures can be distinguished, which in most cases leads to the desired effect. Read more about them in more detail.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is a fairly simple aesthetic surgery whose purpose is to increase penis length.
Reference.It should be noted that ligamentotomy is performed in most cases in the absence of indications, but only at the request of the man. Moreover, the length of his genitals may even be within the normal range.
Before the operation, the specialist performs a thorough examination and assigns a series of examinations. Most often we talk about analyzes that include: identification of group affiliation, CBC + coagulation time, HIV analysis, hepatitis B and C and ECG.
If all tests are normal, the doctor will give detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. So in the evening on the eve of surgery it is necessary to shave the pubis carefully and wash. Food and water should not be ingested on the day of surgery.
The operation itself takes no more than half an hour and is usually performed under general anesthesia.
- The surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum, reveals the ligaments in the ligament that support the penis, and dissects them.
- The hidden part of the penis is pulled outwards, after which the incision is sewn.
Remember that penis enlargement will not magically occur as a result of the surgery. A positive result can only be achieved by proper and long-term use of a special support device.
During the postoperative period during a hospital stay, the patient should adhere to bed rest and be examined regularly by a physician.After discharge, several rules must be followed carefully:
- exclude physical activity for a period of time;
- refrain from intercourse for 3-4 weeks after surgery;
- take prescription drugs in time for complete and rapid recovery
- do not forget personal hygiene;
- exclude wearing tight underwear
- use the extender to wear for 3 months.
Full recovery after surgery is about six months.If you follow all the rules and recommendations, you can achieve the desired result.
A few words about the prices for the operation. The cost of penis enlargement surgery depends first and foremost not only on the clinic but also on the equipment used during the surgery, the professionalism of the surgeon as well as the conditions in the hospital where the patient spends time in postoperative period.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is an operation designed not to lengthen the penis, but to make it thicker.The desired effect is achieved by the introduction of a subcutaneous injection.In the case of lipofilling, the patient's adipose tissue is used, removed from the area where its amount is too large, for example from the abdomen, lower back, thighs, etc.
- Removal of adipose tissue is completely painless and fast enough. It is then injected subcutaneously into the desired site while forming a new size of penis. After this surgery, the risk of manifesting such a horrible complication as tissue rejection is unlikely because the patient's own material is used.
Attention.One must keep in mind that in the postoperative period there will be a gradual change in the size of the organ downwards, which will eventually stop.
The fact is that the fat after injection shrinks in the range of 30-45%, which is considered normal.
- The operation lasts 1-2 hours. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. After completion, small bruises remain, swelling on the body, but there will be no scars,
as the procedure is performed gradually, the fat is injected in small doses. - On the eve of surgery, an examination by a specialist is performed and a number of tests are prescribed that are almost identical to the list described in the previous surgery. In addition, urine can be taken for analysis.
- It is recommended to eat only properly a few weeks before surgery (it is recommended to go on a low calorie diet), to refrain from drinking alcohol, nicotine and a few days before the procedure to minimize physical activity.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a fragment isolated from the widest dorsal musclefollowed by the application of microscopic vessels at the surgical site to maintain an active and healthy blood circulation.
The operation is quite complex and is often indicated for use in cases where the genital organ has been damaged or it can not even be classified as a small genital organ, i. e. its length is less than 2, 5 cm. Transsexual or hermaphroditic persons.
To perform this operation, a number of preparatory procedures are performed.and many analyzes have been taken. The main condition for performing surgery to transplant tissue in the genitals is the absence of contraindications to performing autotransplantation (there must be enough tissue in the organ and the patient's condition must allow for many hours of surgery, which by the way lasts 6-8 hours). . .
Potential risks and consequences of surgery
Despite the apparent simplicity of the above operations, they can not only have a pleasant result, but also unpleasant consequences. Then we talk about ligamentotomy,it is impossible not to mention the possibility of several complications, such as:
- bleeding;
- erectile disorder
- infection;
- deformity of the penis.
This is possible if certain technical difficulties arose during the operation because it was performed by an unqualified surgeon.
After lipofilling, the risk of getting a different result than in question is less than with ligamentotomyand often comes down to the possibility of infection, the appearance of an asymmetry in the penis or insufficient correction.
It should also be understood that aesthetic surgery is primarily used to change the size of the penis as much as possible. This means that the patient must have a realistic understanding of what result he can expect after the operation.
Such procedures can increase the length of the penis by no more than 3-5 cm, everything else is misleading or fraudulent.
Summarizing all of the above, we can say that surgery to enlarge the penis is not a myth, but not a "miracle", due to which the penis will dramatically increase in size. In addition, there is a significant list of contraindications and consequences of such a decision. Therefore, if the size of the penis is within the normal range, it is worth thinking twice before deciding on an operation.
