Nature does not endow everyone equally: one - generously, the other - not very much. Women often do not like their small breast size, and the main complex of men is the size of their dignity. The man who says that he has never compared his penis with others will be sluggish. And statistics say that about 80% of men are not happy with the length of their penis.
Modern medicine has learned to correct human imperfections with the help of plastic surgery. Today, almost everything can be changed, the male member is no exception. How is penis enlargement surgery going, how effective is it, and when do the indications appear for it?
Correction methods
Men have paid increased attention to the length of the penis since antiquity. The phallus was elevated to a cult, and its enlargement was carried out using a ritual ceremony. Boys who were entering adolescence were hung with weights by their penis. Some have worn them all their lives. The effectiveness and safety of this method is debatable. The operation to change the size of a member now belongs to the category of privates.
For reference!In total, there are 3 methods of length correction: surgical, non-surgical, combined.
Ligamentotomy
The main and universal way to change the size of the penis is ligamentotomy. For the first time this operation for cosmetic purposes was performed by a Chinese scientist in 1990, and was further improved and spread throughout the world. The principle of the operation is to cut the ligament that suspends the penis. It is she who anatomically holds the penis inside the man's body.
Surgical intervention is performed under both general and local anesthesia and usually takes no more than an hour. The recovery period takes 2-3 weeks, during which and subsequently the patient is recommended to wear an extender to consolidate the result. The operation allows you to change the size by 3-5 cm without affecting the vessels, muscles and veins responsible for erection.
Important!There are several options for performing the operation depending on the type of access: suprapubic, transscrotal, subcoronary.
Lipofilling
Most of the operations (90 cases out of 100) are performed to increase the length of the penis, and 10 - for volume or thickness. How is the penis made thicker?
- Fat material is collected from the thighs or abdomen using a special needle.
- Then the resulting material is processed, removing fat-free tissue from it.
- Some specialists put the penis into a state of artificial erection, which ensures an even distribution of material throughout the organ. Lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia.
- A small incision is made in the penis. Using a needle or a special injector, fat is slowly injected under the skin. The surgeon helps to distribute the material correctly so that the penis is evenly enlarged.
The result of lipofilling is noticeable immediately after its completion: the penis increases in girth by about 30%.This surgical method has a number of advantages over others: it is safer, the patient's own cells are used, and rehabilitation takes place in a short time. However, after a while, the procedure will have to be repeated, since the result is short-lived.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics is recommended for men who have problems with erection, as well as congenital anomalies of the genitals.
During the operation, special prostheses are inserted into the cavernous bodies of the penis, which are of several types:
- One-piece plastic prostheses;
- Inflatable two-piece prostheses;
- Three-piece dentures.
Dentures are elastic (rigid) and hydraulic.Elastic prostheses are more affordable. Erection of the penis occurs due to directed effort, but the constant semi-erect state of the penis can cause inconvenience to a man. Inflatable or hydraulic prostheses are more technological, they allow the penis to be in a calm and erect state. All types of implants allow the penis to return to the correct shape.
The prosthesis implantation operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1. 5-2 hours. There is no risk of the organ returning to its original size after surgery. The disadvantages of falloprosthetics include:
- High risk of denture rejection,
- Formation of fibrous tissue around the prosthesis,
- Possible reduction in length by 1-2 cm.
Microsurgical Muscle Transplant
It is possible to increase the size of the penis by transplanting a skin and fat flap. The material (skin with fat content) is taken from the gluteal region and sewn around the trunk.
With the help of microsurgical muscle transplantation, it is possible to enlarge the penis by 3-4 cm. But such a surgical operation is considered one of the most difficult and expensive. The patient is under general anesthesia for more than 3 hours, and the recovery period takes a long time.
Indications and contraindications for surgery
Not all men are completely satisfied with their penis size. Some people, on this basis, experience penile dysmorphophobia, caused by obsessive thoughts that something is wrong with the penis. Mental disorder causes a man to lack self-confidence, which affects his communication with women and behavior in society. More often than not, these fears are unfounded.
For reference!The average penis size in an adult man is 9. 5 or more in length, the small penis is discussed when the size of the penis is less than 9. 5 cm. If the size of the penis in an extended state is not more than 3 cm, then it is called a micropenis.
If the genital organ functions correctly and satisfies the man and woman, then there is no need for an operation.The operation can be performed for cosmetic and surgical purposes. The first group of operations is the most common. Penile plastic surgery is necessary:
- with a decrease or absence of potency;
- with congenital anomalies in the development of the penis, its curvature and deformation, including as a result of diseases;
- with hypertrophy of cartilage and cavernous bodies of the penis;
- due to dissatisfaction with the size, both too small and large;
- when the patient decides to change sex;
- with injuries and damage to the penis.
Most of the patients visiting the surgeon are men of mature age who deliberately go under the knife in order to adjust the size of their dignity.
Complications
Penis enlargement surgery, like other surgical procedures, can lead to complications. Modern medical technologies make it possible to reduce their number. Most often, unpleasant consequences appear due to the unprofessionalism of the doctor.
An unsuccessful operation may result in:
- decreased sensitivity of the penis and impotence,
- change in the normal angle of erection,
- scarring,
- infection,
- a decrease in the length of the penis due to the accretion of the incised tissue to the pelvic floor, as a result of which some part of it may be inside;
- pain when urinating or erections,
- discomfort during sex.
The listed complications occur during the first year after an unsuccessful operation and become the reason for repeated medical intervention.

How to enlarge the penis without surgery?
Before agreeing to surgery, men try to increase their dignity in a non-surgical way. There are tools that can help them with this:
- Extender- a device that is used not only to correct the size, but also to eliminate a cosmetic defect, for example, with a curved penis. Under the influence of constant exertion (at least 8 hours a day for 3 or more months), the penis can increase by 2-3 cm. This method is considered the most popular due to its effectiveness and the absence of side effects.
- Suspension of loads.Let this way of dealing with what is laid down by nature remain in the past.
- Vacuum pumpor a vacuum pump helps to increase the penis in both length and thickness. But the changes are temporary, so it is recommended to use it immediately before intercourse.
- Medicines, dietary supplements, gels and lubricantsnot the most effective way to enlarge the penis. Some preparations contain special vitamins that help to strengthen men's health. They improve erectile function, help prolong sexual intercourse, but no more.
Before getting one of these "gadgets" or super potent vitamins, try to enlarge your body with massage or the ancient jelqing technique. A specially developed set of exercises is aimed at changing the length of the penis and improving its functionality. If none of the above methods has brought the desired result, and the need for penis enlargement has not disappeared over time, then penis plastic surgery will help solve the problem.
