Nature does not give everyone all the same: one - generous, the other - not much. Women often dislike their small breast size, and men's main complex is the size of their dignity. The man who says he has never compared his penis to others will be sluggish. And statistics say that about 80% of men are not satisfied with the length of their penis.
Modern medicine has learned to correct human imperfections using plastic surgery. Today, almost anything can be changed, the male member is no exception. How is penis enlargement surgery performed, how effective is it and when are the indications for it displayed?
Correction methods
Men have been paying attention to the length of the penis since ancient times. The phallus was elevated to a cult, and its expansion was performed by means of a ritual ceremony. Boys who went into adolescence were hung with weights by their penis. Some have used them all their lives. The effectiveness and safety of this method can be discussed. The action to resize a member now belongs to the category of private.
For reference!In total, there are 3 methods of length correction: surgical, non-surgical, combined.
Ligamentotomy
The most important and universal way to resize the penis is ligamentotomy. For the first time, this cosmetic surgery was performed by a Chinese scientist in 1990 and was further improved and spread around 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.
Surgery 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 then the patient is advised 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 surgeries (90 cases out of 100) are performed to increase the length of the penis and 10 - for volume or thickness. How does the penis get thicker?
- Fat material is collected from the thighs or abdomen using a special needle.
- Then, the resulting material is treated and removes fat-free tissue from it.
- Some specialists put the penis in a state of artificial erection, which ensures an even distribution of material through the organ. Lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia.
- A small incision is made in the penis. Using a needle or special injector, fat is slowly injected under the skin. The surgeon helps to distribute the material correctly so that the penis enlarges evenly.
The result of lipofilling is noticeable immediately after its completion: the penis increases in circumference by approx. 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. But after a while, the procedure should be repeated as the result is short-lived.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics are recommended for men who have erection problems as well as congenital anomalies in 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 dentures in two parts;
- Three-part prosthesis.
Dentures are elastic (rigid) and hydraulic.Elastic prostheses are more affordable. Penis erection occurs due to directed effort, but the constant semi-erect state of the penis can cause discomfort for a man. Inflatable or hydraulic prostheses are more technological, they allow the penis to be in a calm and upright position. All types of implants allow the penis to return to the right shape.
The prosthesis implantation operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1, 5-2 hours. After the operation, there is no risk of bringing the organ back to its previous size. The disadvantages of falloprosthetics include:
- High risk of rejection of prostheses,
- Formation of fibrous tissue around the prosthesis,
- Possible reduction in length by 1-2 cm.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
It is possible to increase penis size by transplanting a skin and fat flap. The material (skin with fat content) is taken from the gluteal area 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. On this basis, some people experience penile dysmorphophobia caused by obsessive thoughts that there is something 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, this fear is unfounded.
For reference!The average penis size in an adult male is 9, 5 or more in length, the small penis is discussed when the penis size is less than 9, 5 cm. If the penis size in the enlarged state is not more than 3 cm, then it is called a micropenis.
If the genitals function properly and satisfy the man and woman, surgery is not necessary.The operation can be performed for cosmetic and surgical purposes. The first group of surgeries is the most common. Penile plastic surgery is necessary:
- with a decrease or absence of strength;
- with congenital anomalies in penile development, its curvature and deformation, including as a result of diseases;
- with hypertrophy of cartilage and cavernous bodies of penis;
- due to dissatisfaction with the size, both too small and large;
- when the patient decides to change gender
- with injuries and damage to the penis.
Most of the patients who visit the surgeon are men of mature age who deliberately go under the knife to adjust the size of their dignity.
Complications
Penis enlargement, like other surgical procedures, can lead to complications. Modern medical technology makes it possible to reduce the number. Most often, unpleasant consequences appear due to the doctor's unprofessionalism.
A failed action can result in:
- decreased penile sensitivity and impotence,
- change in the normal erection angle,
- scarring,
- infection,
- a decrease in the length of the penis due to the growth of the incised tissue to the pelvic floor, as a result of which part of it may be inside;
- pain when urinating or erection
- discomfort during sex.
The listed complications occur during the first year after a failed operation and become the cause of repeated medical intervention.

How to enlarge penis without surgery?
Before men accept surgery, men try to increase their dignity in a non-surgical way. There are tools that can help them with this:
- Extender- a device 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 be increased by 2-3 cm. This method is considered the most popular due to its effectiveness and the absence of side effects.
- Suspension of cargo.Let this way of dealing with what is determined by nature remain in the past.
- Vacuum pumpor a vacuum pump helps increase the penis in both length and thickness. However, the changes are temporary, so it is recommended to use it immediately before intercourse.
- Medicines, supplements, gels and lubricantsnot the most effective way to enlarge your penis. Some preparations contain special vitamins that help strengthen men's health. They improve erectile function, help prolong intercourse, but no more.
Before you get one of these "gadgets" or superpotent vitamins, try enlarging your body with massage or the old jelqing technique. A specially developed set of exercises aims to change the length of the penis and improve its functionality. If none of the above methods have brought the desired result and the need for penis enlargement has not disappeared over time, plastic surgery with the penis will help solve the problem.
