Benefits of surgery
Plastic surgery for penis enlargement has a considerable number of advantages, which makes men want to carry out this manipulation:

In order for the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations for preparing for the operation.
Indications for the operation
Penile augmentation surgery requires real indications. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty in their own abilities, then in this case, the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is necessary.
The list of the main indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Compaction of tissues in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ size that is not able to carry out a full-fledged sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). Also, surgery is carried out with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a regular normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for the operation:
- A large amount of fatty tissue, which is located in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When carrying out an operation to increase the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average size of the penis in an erect state;
- Underage age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases with spread to the skin of the organ;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during the operation or gross non-compliance with the recommendations for recovery can cause the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Reduced sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After the operation, erectile dysfunction may be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Instability of the penis during intercourse;
- Inclination of the angle of the organ during an erect state;
- Reducing the size of the penis;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Operation methods
Methods for penis enlargement operations are based on the use of various methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed using spinal anesthesia (injecting pain relievers into the spinal cord). The manipulation is carried out using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which lengthens its size. With actual measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovers at home. Pain relief is required for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this period of time, there is an addiction to the organ and the healing process of tissues, which are gradually scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly wear an extender in order to finally fix the obtained result.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the middle range. Pricing policy has an average value among the procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is carried out in the presence of obvious indications and subject to the body's readiness for surgical intervention.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics is one of the most difficult operations, as it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often carried out when changing sex and has a considerable number of complications, therefore, it requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
For the operation, rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used. The manipulation is carried out under general anesthesia, and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about cost, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible for the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery in which the penis is thickened. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to obtain the desired effect.
When adipose tissue engrafts, a gradual addiction occurs, and the genital organ functions normally. In order for the procedure to give the proper result, it must be carried out 2-3 times a year, since fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the penis in thickness by 2 cm. The patient is discharged home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts for 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical Muscle Transplant
Penile enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. Moreover, this technique is used quite rarely, since it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a tissue flap and suture the vessels, thereby increasing its size. The duration of the procedure is about 3 hours using general anesthesia.
The skin takes root well and practically does not cause rejection, therefore this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery lasts for 3 months, provided that all the prescriptions of the attending physician are followed. Soreness of the penis is noted within 20-25 days.
Penis prosthetics surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation that is used in the absence of a result of conservative treatment and other alternative methods are used.
Indications for conducting:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Improper surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which has arisen against the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To carry out the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is carried out;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia, and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum, or pubis. After surgery, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in a hospital for 5 days, and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Lack of erection lasts up to 20 days, and intimate relationships are prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are the rejection of the installed prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation), and wound infection. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and carry out repeated manipulations to correct the situation.
When carrying out prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who will select the most suitable implant and exclude possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods of enlarging the penis
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for enlarging the penis, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the organ and has an instant but short-term effect. The impact is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump, where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of such use, there is a darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, an increased trauma of the organ.
- Using an extender.A special device of mechanical action, which helps to enlarge the penis. To obtain a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risks of damage to the penis (impaired blood flow leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noted when using the apparatus (hanging a load to an organ causing its curvature and deformation).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.The opinions of doctors on this issue differ, since many experts consider such therapy only as an auxiliary one. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking pills. Such funds can be used to improve potency in general.
Reviews of doctors and patients
The responses of doctors and patients have different responses, since in this matter a lot depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its readiness for surgery.
Review of the surgeon: "As a qualified surgeon, I want to say that penis enlargement operations must be performed if there are compelling indications. Most often, such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformation, congenital anomalies and very small penis sizes. it is important to correctly assess the general condition of the patient and exclude the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient testimonial: "Yes, I also have problems, because I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors say that there is no indication and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to get a falloprosthetics, but I don't know how safe this operation is. "
