Benefits of surgery
Plastic surgery for penis enlargement has a significant number of benefits, which makes men want to perform this manipulation:
- No need to constantly take pills with a short-term effect, which has a negative effect on the body;

For the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations for the preparation of the operation.
Indications for the operation
Penis enlargement surgery requires real indications. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty in their own abilities, the recommendation of a qualified psychologist in this case is necessary.
The list of the most important indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Compression of tissues in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the body.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ size that is not able to perform a full intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). Surgery is also performed with severe injuries that prevent the presence of a normal normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for the operation:
- A large amount of adipose tissue, which is located in the genitals;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing surgery to enlarge the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average size of penis in an upright position;
- Minor age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in a progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in 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 surgery 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;
- Decreased sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After surgery, erectile dysfunction can be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Penis instability during intercourse;
- Tilting the angle of the organ during an upright position;
- Reducing penis size;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Operating methods
Methods of penis enlargement surgery are based on the use of different 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 (injection of painkillers into the spinal cord). The manipulation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is approximately 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, ensuring elongation of its size. With actual measurements, the length of the body does not change, but characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital the second day and recovers at home. Pain relief is required for the first 3 days. After surgery, genital lesions remain from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this period, there is a dependence on the organ and the healing process of tissues, which are gradually scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly wear an extender to finally correct the result obtained.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the mid-range. Pricing policy has an average value among the procedures of this kind and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of obvious indications and subject to the body's readiness for surgical intervention.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics is one of the most difficult surgeries as it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed by gender reassignment and has a significant number of complications, therefore it requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
Rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is inserted into the area with the spongy bodies. If we talk about costs, the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible to the main category of the population.
Lipofill
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 achieve the desired effect.
When the adipose tissue penetrates, a gradual dependence occurs and the genitals function normally. In order for the procedure to give the correct result, it must be performed 2-3 times a year as fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, affecting the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, so 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 at 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 transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. Moreover, this technique is used quite rarely as it has a high price.
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 approx. 3 hours under general anesthesia.
The skin takes root well and causes virtually no rejection, therefore this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. The recovery lasts for 3 months, provided that all prescriptions from the attending physician are followed. Penis soreness is noticed within 20-25 days.
Penis prosthesis surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation used in the absence of a result of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for execution:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological issues;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Improper surgical procedure;
- Impotence that has arisen on the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prostheses. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of 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 food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in a hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for approximately 3 months. Lack of erection lasts up to 20 days and intimate relationships are prohibited for 60 days.
Possible complications of the operation include rejection of the installed prosthesis, development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and wound infection. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and perform repeated manipulations to rectify the situation that has arisen.
When performing dentures, it is important to find a good surgeon who chooses the most appropriate implant and rules out the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods to enlarge the penis
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques to enlarge 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 immediate but short-term effect. The effect is achieved by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump where the penis is located. 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 many bruises and bruises, an increased trauma of the organ.
- Using an extender.A special mechanical mechanism that helps to enlarge the penis. To achieve a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risks of damage to the penis (decreased blood flow leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noted with the use of the device (hanging a load on an organ causing its curvature and deformation).
- Dietary supplements and other herbal remedies. Doctors' opinions on this issue are different, as many experts only consider such therapy as an aid. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking pills. Such agents can be used to improve strength in general.
Reviews of doctors and patients
Doctors 'and patients' answers have different answers, as in this case much depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its readiness for surgery.
Review by the surgeon: "As a qualified surgeon, I would say that penis enlargement surgeries should be performed if there are convincing indications. Most often, such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformity, congenital anomalies and very small penis sizes. Appropriate technique, it is important to assess the patient's general conditioncorrect and rule out the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient statement: "Yes, I also have problems as I have a small penis. I have been to the hospital several times but the doctors say there is no indication and that is it. I want to go abroad and try to get onefallopian tube prosthesis, but I do not know how safe this operation is. "
