Ligamentotomy
One of the most common operations to increase the length of the penis is ligamentotomy. It is performed in all clinics, often it is not carried out for medical reasons, but at the request of men.
Operation essence:
- The doctor surgically cuts the ligaments that attach the penis to the pelvic bones. Penis lengthening occurs by stretching the inner part 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 need to wear it from 2 to 8 hours a day.
- Sexual activity is contraindicated for 2 weeks after surgery.
The operation is low-traumatic, it is performed through a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia, it lasts within an hour.
Penis enlargement can be up to 5 cm. Lengthening 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 of a man who considers his organ to be thin. An important condition is the correspondence of the length and thickness of intimate dignity.
How will this operation take place? Surgically, it is not complex:
- Adipose tissue is taken from the pubic or other zone of a man, processed and injected with a syringe under the skin of the penis.
- It is technically important to introduce the fatty tissue evenly in order 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:
- At the first stage, the penis is prepared,
- then muscle tissue is taken from the pectoral muscles or from the abdomen.
- The flap is sutured to the tissues of the penis, vessels and nerves are sutured.
Rehabilitation takes 1. 5 - 2 months.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics was first performed in 1936. Inspired by the presence of a special bone in the penis in walruses and seals, the surgeon transplanted costal cartilage into the patient's corpus cavernosum.
In modern clinics, other materials are used for plastic.
Falloprosthetics shown:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- full plastic for penis removal, sex change.
Dentures are:
- Rigid - silicone tubes implanted into the corpora cavernosa, providing a permanent erection.
Such prostheses are uncomfortable - the penis is always standing.
- Semi-rigid - have a special design that allows you to move the penis from a hanging to a standing position with a slight movement of the hand.
Inflatable and self-filling 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.
Insertion of implants
Increasing the thickness of the male organ involves the use of gel or silicone encapsulated implants instead of those obtained from the man's own tissues.
Requirements for them:
- implants must be synthetic;
- possess filler properties, that is, elasticity and softness;
- the possibility of stable fixation in the phallus.
Augmented endoprosthetics has a number of advantages:
- security;
- convenience;
- efficiency;
- no contraindications;
- does not require any special training;
- there is no negative effect on erectile and reproductive function.
To perform such an operation, a 2. 5-3 cm long incision is made along the coronary groove, channels are formed to the root of the penis, encapsulated implants are inserted, and their fixation to the tunica albuginea is allowed.
Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections will allow increasing 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.
- The manipulation 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
Do the operation at the request of the man. Instead of its own tissues, special capsules are inserted into the penis, which stimulate the production of its own connective tissue by the organ.

- small penis and micropenis;
