The size of the penis depends on the structural features of the man and his inheritance. In some cases, the insufficient size of the penis is due to hormonal imbalances or congenital abnormalities.
Currently, surgery is the only effective way to enlarge the penis. However, before deciding to have surgery, a man should consider all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, penis enlargement in length and width can be achieved. Men often resort to combined operations. There are several techniques for changing penis size:
- The ligamentotomy is a procedure used to lengthen the penis. This technique is considered to be the most modern and safest, but it is contraindicated in erectile dysfunction patients. Its essence lies in the incision of the suspension tape (fromLigamentum Suspensorium Penis - suspension tape of the penis, Tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and then wearing a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6See After the ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and shapealign the penis.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by inserting the patient's fatty tissue under the skin of the genital organ. The surgery can enlarge the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. Recovery does not take long, but is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgical procedure that aims to increase the diameter of the penis. Tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia is used for transplantation. The flap is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are sutured. As a result, the diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
- Fallo prosthetics is performed 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.
Measured values
With the exception of developmental abnormalities, this surgery is performed for aesthetic reasons when penis enlargement is necessary to lead a normal sex life.
If the penis is functioning normally and the man is reproductive, there is no direct evidence of surgical intervention. The specialist decides how much phalloplasty is needed.
Contraindications
Penis enlargement surgery is contraindicated if the patient has serious illnesses, lesions of internal organs, bleeding disorders, diabetes, oncology, etc.
The decision about the possibility of a phalloplasty is made by the attending physician on the basis of the examination results and the patient's state of health.
Preparation for the operation
Before the operation, the surgeon consults the patient. The doctor will inform you of all the possible risks and consequences and select the most suitable surgical technique.
In the preparatory phase, a man must undergo a comprehensive examination of the body with the aim of possible contraindications. The patient must donate blood and urine, undergo an EKG and X-ray procedure, and be examined by a urologist.
Operational progress
Regardless of the method chosen in the clinic, the operation is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure of the operation depends on the desired result and the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take about an hour on average. Muscle transplant - about 3 hours. The duration of the prosthesis operation is 1-2 hours.
recovery
The rehabilitation time after the ligamentotomy is relatively short: after the operation, the patient has to stay in the hospital for about 2 days. After discharge, you will have to come regularly for check-ups and getting dressed. After 2-3 weeks the suture becomes almost invisible. You must wear the extender for at least 6 months.
Fallo prosthetics require a longer and more serious recovery period. Their duration depends on the man's body.
The recovery phase after a muscle transplant lasts at least 5 weeks.
A small penis is a very delicate problem that prevents a man from leading a normal life. Specialists from the medical center "CM-Clinic" have the necessary qualifications for the operation to enlarge the penis. To learn more about phalloplasty and make an appointment with a surgeon.
