Currently, penis enlargement surgery is one of the most popular in the field of intimate male plastic surgery. Nowadays, there are technologies that help solve the vast majority of problems in this area, allowing a man to enjoy life, feeling strong and confident in himself. Increasing the size of the penis by surgical intervention is possible both in length - lengthening of the penis, and in width - accordingly, its thickening. These are two different techniques that differ in the technology of operations.
The most common method of enlarging the penis today is by incising the ligament that supports it. This operation is called a ligamentotomy. In this case, the penis is lengthened (depending on the individual characteristics of the patient) from 1. 5 to 6 centimeters.
After a surgical lengthening of the penis, a special device, an extender, must be used for several months.
Penile enlargement surgery is indicated for men who are not satisfied with the length of the penis. The indications for surgery are determined by the doctor after a conversation and examination at an in-person consultation.
Lengthening - ligamentotomy. During the operation, the surgeon cuts off the ligaments by which the penis is attached to the pubic bones, which makes it possible to release the part of the penis inside the body. The corpora cavernosa are released to the site of the deep arteries and are fixed at the level of the trimmed supporting ligament in a new position. To prevent the ligaments from growing back together, it is necessary to wear a special device for several months - a stretcher, whose task is to perform a delaying function. Correct use of a stretcher and a well-performed operation will allow you to achieve the desired result.
Benefits of Ligamentotomy:
- low trauma - the operation is performed through a minimal incision in the scrotum area;
- urethra, neurovascular bundle, corpora cavernosa are not affected;
- the seam is almost invisible.
Thickening - in the classic technique, fatty tissue is transplanted into the shaft of the penis from other parts of the body (it can be taken, for example, from the buttocks). Various synthetic fillers and gels are also used. This method allows you to make the penis more massive. However, the described method in some cases can lead to complications. For this reason, more modern methods are now more often used, involving the use of special prostheses made of biocompatible synthetic materials.
Readings
- Excessive subcutaneous fatty tissue in the intimate area
- Dissatisfaction with the size or appearance of the penis
There are several reasons for a ligamentotomy:
- insufficient size of the penis in a state of erection (anatomical feature);
- Peyronie's disease;
- suffered injuries that led to deformation of the penis;
- congenital underdevelopment of the genitals.
Penile enlargement plastic surgery can be performed not only for medical reasons. Often it is performed exclusively for aesthetic purposes, at the request of the client.
In this case, the decision on the need to lengthen the penis is made directly by the patient.
Required analyzes
Before the operation to enlarge the male member, you need to undergo some clinical and instrumental examinations:
- blood tests (biochemical and general), urine;
- determination of HIV antibodies, HBs-Ag, anti-HCV;
- RW (syphilis test);
- blood glucose;
- coagulogram (assessment of the coagulation system);
- ECG;
- chest x-ray.
If the ligamentotomy is performed for medical reasons, the plastic surgeon may prescribe additional laboratory tests or consultations of “narrow” specialists. It is usually recommended to visit an endocrinologist and andrologist-urologist, ultrasound or MRI.
Contraindications
Since in most cases surgical lengthening of the penis is performed at the request of the patient for an aesthetic purpose, the contraindications are general:
- infectious and inflammatory diseases in the active phase;
- exacerbation of indolent chronic pathologies;
- severe diseases of the bronchopulmonary or cardiovascular systems;
- recent heart attack or stroke;
- unstable angina;
- some endocrine diseases;
- malignant neoplasms;
- sexually transmitted infections in the acute stage.
The specific date of the operation is determined by the attending physician after analyzing all available data.
If you have allergic reactions to any medicinal substance or previous interventions have proceeded with specific complications - you need to warn your surgeon and anesthesiologist about this.
Also, the doctor must be informed about the presence of bad habits, addictions or systematic intake of medications. A specialist's lack of all data on the patient's health can cause the development of postoperative complications.
How is the operation to increase manhood?
The operation takes 30-40 minutes and is performed using special microsurgical techniques to provide visualization of nerves and vessels. The patient remains in the hospital for a day.
No suture removal is required with absorbable sutures.
It is recommended to refrain from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks after the intervention.
The result can be assessed at least several months after the operation.
What determines the result of increasing the length of the member
Using a stretcher makes the effect of the interference much more pronounced. However, in order to obtain the best result, the relevant factors must be considered.
- Initial penis length - the larger it is, the stronger the effect.
- Anatomy of the phallus - its effectiveness depends on how well the stretcher is fixed.
- Normal hormonal balance - some patients may be recommended a course of hormone therapy.
The result of an increase in manhood by surgery, if all recommendations are properly followed, is preserved forever.
Rehabilitation period
After penile lengthening surgery, the stretcher should be worn every day for 2 hours, gradually bringing this time to 6-8 hours a day.
Incorrect use of the device can cause complications, in particular, paraphimosis, so all doctors' recommendations must be carefully followed. After successful completion of the rehabilitation course, you can count on the lengthening of manhood by 3-5 cm.
Between the corpora cavernosa of the penis and the bones of the pelvis, there are several bands of connective tissue, on which the organ is "suspended" from the bone structures. During a ligamentotomy of the penis, one of these ligaments is cut. As a result, the visible part of the penis is enlarged. This is due to the elimination of the force that pulled him into the soft tissues.
Operation steps:
- pain relief. Can be done with epidural or general anesthesia. In the first case, the patient is conscious: after a special injection into the back area, pain sensitivity below the waist is “turned off”. In the second, the patient is unconscious and wakes up after the completion of the operation.
- Making an incision in the scrotum. This access is the most non-traumatic. Discomfort after surgery and the size of the postoperative scar in this case are minimal.
- Cutting the suspension ligament with a scalpel. Damage to nerves and blood vessels, as well as impaired erectile function are excluded. The tissues of the penis itself are not affected.
- Suturing a postoperative wound with cosmetic sutures, which will subsequently be completely indistinguishable. The doctor may use ordinary surgical sutures (in this case, the sutures will need to be removed) or self-absorbable ones that do not require removal.
Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, the intervention lasts up to an hour (maximum), on average 30-40 minutes.
The stay in the clinic usually does not exceed 1-2 days, during which the general condition and dynamics of the healing of the postoperative area are monitored.
Immediately after the penis enlargement surgery, the organ is lengthened by approximately 2-2. 5 cm. In order to improve the result by a few more centimeters, a stretcher - extender should be periodically worn for several months after ligamentotomy.
Rehabilitation
After 5-7 days, the suture is almost completely healed. On the first day, the patient may be disturbed by a feeling of discomfort in the area of the operation, as well as slight swelling of soft tissues.
Penis enlargement occurs not only with the help of an operation. In the late rehabilitation period, which can last up to six months, a special medical structure is fixed on the penis for several hours a day.
The purpose of the extender is to mechanically stretch the tissues of the organ. In this case, the patient sets it up on his own: it is necessary to achieve a feeling of light stretching, pain and discomfort should be absent.
Wearing an extender will help to lengthen the penis by another 2-2. 5 cm. During this time, new ligaments will form.
If the stretcher is not used after the intervention, the intersected ligament will heal and return to its original shape and length. Penis enlargement in this case may not occur or it will be minimal.
Recommendations in the postoperative period:
- physical and sexual activity should be limited for 2-3 weeks.
- Immediately after ligamentotomy, it is necessary to stop using tight or tight underwear. This will ensure the fastest restoration of microcirculation and innervation in the operation area.
- Prevent seam wetting.
- Treat the postoperative area in accordance with the surgeon's instructions.
