Normal erect penis size is considered to be 11 to 19 centimeters. A penis less than 10 centimeters in length is considered small, and less than 5 cm is considered a micropenis (this is an anatomical pathology). With deviations from the norm that interfere with normal life, a man is recommended plastic surgery. A man with normal dimensions of virility can also resort to the operation - although it is not necessary, there is no prohibition on this either, and the owner of the penis decides everything. In this article we will tell you how it is done, how much penis enlargement surgery costs, what reviews are left by men who decide to resize surgically.
Modification of penis size by ligamentotomy
Now the main operation is to lengthen the penis using the ligamentotomy method. At the same time, the penis itself does not actually change in size, but visually it looks longer, since there is a redistribution of centimeters to the visible part. This operation was first performed in 1990.
Penis enlargement by surgery takes place according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligaments at the base of the penis.
- Frees the corpora cavernosa to the point where the arteries enter them.
- Fixes the corpora cavernosa in a modified position at the level of the severed ligaments.
- After removing the surgical sutures and the swelling subsides, the penis will appear 3-5 cm longer.
There are several types of surgery depending on the location of the incision (it is possible to obtain penis enlargement through the suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronary incision). Which type will be chosen depends on the morphological characteristics of the man's penis - it is determined after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
This is not to say that penis enlargement surgery is a simple and painless procedure. Plastic augmentation surgery is performed only under general anesthesia. If the patient has contraindications to anesthesia, this operation will not be performed.
You also need to remember that a few months after the operation the penis will need to be fixed with bandages or a plastic expander so that the ligaments remember the new position. The photo shows one of the options for the extender that can be worn with the combined method of penis enlargement.
"Does it hurt to lengthen a penis with an operation, will there be any consequences? " many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure the surgery isn't enjoyable. The operation itself, as already mentioned, is carried out under anesthesia, but after that the man will have to endure pain (it lasts a few days), and then discomfort due to an uncomfortable and unusual condition. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the clamps or expander, slight discomfort is also possible, then everything returns to normal.
Introduction of the prosthesis into the organ
Another type of penis enlargement surgery involves placing a prosthesis through a transverse incision of the tunica albuginea (this penis enlargement operation is also called a corporotomy). The enlargement of the penis is due to the fact that a prosthesis of a noticeably greater length is placed in the intracavernous space. This leads to stretching of the skin on the penis. To enhance the effect, in addition to the operation to increase the penis, mechanical stretching of the tissues of the penis is performed (using an expander).
Various "parts" can be used as an implant. For example, many clinics now use a silicone implant that increases penis length by 5 centimeters. The implant is inserted through a small incision in the groin. The whole procedure takes place under local anesthesia.
Recovery after such an operation takes several weeks. A man can walk and sit up in 4-5 days, but the erection will return only after 1-2 months.
There is one drawback to the introduction of a silicone implant - it may not take root after the operation. To avoid this, a surgical augmentation can be ordered, in which fat is pumped out instead of an artificial implant. Adipose tissue is considered the most natural and safe type of penis filler. It is 100% compatible with male tissues, which reduces the risk of inflammation to a minimum. After insertion, it does not move (the fat implant is stable), in addition, it looks the most natural.
Penis enlargement by a surgical method using a certain amount of fatty tissue has another advantage - recovery after surgery takes about 5-6 days, and its results are immediately visible. According to doctors, the operation allows you to increase the size of the penis up to 40% - and it can be both an operation to thicken the penis and an operation to change the length.
The downside is that some of the fat cells dissolve after a year or two, and the skin begins to gather due to stretching and voids formed. It's not very pretty - you will have to do an additional cosmetic operation to pump out new fat or cut sagging skin.
Change the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
Penis enlargement operations according to Savva Perovich's method are a complex procedure, but it allows you to achieve quite tangible changes in the size of a man's penis. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The scheme of the procedure is as follows:
- The surgeon performs a cardinal division of the organ into its constituent parts - the doctor surgically separates the corpora cavernosa along the entire length of the hanging part of the male penis (from the spongy body to the glans).
- Between the cavernous bodies and the head, pieces of a man's costal cartilage are placed or an artificial prosthesis (silicone or helium) is inserted.
- As a result, the elements of the penis are extended to the desired size (maximum - up to 7 centimeters).
It is worth carrying out this enlargement operation, only after carefully weighing the pros and cons, it will be impossible to restore the previous state of the penis after surgery. It is also worth preparing for a long recovery period. For example, a full erection after surgery will return only after 2-3 months.
Lipofilling of male dignity
Lipofilling a male penis is a non-invasive microsurgical procedure that does not require open incisions. This penis enlargement surgery is a stepwise subcutaneous injection of the patient's own tissue. It is not used to increase the length - with the help of it you can only correct the diameter of the penis (from 5 to 15 millimeters). The material necessary for the procedure is extracted by liposuction from the places of its excessive deposition in the body of a man: in the suprapubic zone, on the hips, abdomen, buttocks.
Since this is not really a penis thickening operation, but rather a cosmetic procedure, recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only a day, then he is discharged, but the patient will have to abstain from sex for 4-5 weeks.
The downside of the procedure is that, as with fat implantation, the result will not last forever. The tissue injected into the penis during this procedure tends to dissolve. You will need to repeat the injections every two to three years.
Abdominal Muscle Tissue Transplantation
There is another type of surgery that can be used to enlarge the penis - muscle flap grafting. A portion of a man's rectus abdominis muscle with fragments of adjacent vasculature is used as the starting material. During the operation, the muscle is retracted to the penis, where it is attached to its natural tissues.
To sum up. In the article, we have listed the main methods by which you can enlarge a penis surgically. Many men think about it, but they should remember that augmentation operations can be successful and complications can arise. You must therefore weigh the pros and cons before lying down on the surgeon's table. In half of the cases, surgery is not necessary and the size of the man is normal (the desire to lengthen or increase the thickness is only a whim). Yet doctors in their reviews are unanimous: operations should only be performed according to medical prescriptions - but it is always a man who makes the final decision on surgical penis enlargement.
Features of operations on the penis
According to statistics, about 80% of men think about penis surgery, wanting to enlarge this organ. But as a rule, everything is limited to desires, because. basically, representatives of the stronger sex are quite satisfied with what is given to them by nature. Much less often you can meet those who want to reduce the size of the manhood due to inconvenience in sex life or other points, because. to correct excessive volumes during intercourse, special rings are used, and there are also slimming underwear.
Prerequisites for operations
Today, surgery can have the following indications:
- Different types of erectile dysfunction associated with organ curvature (Peyronie's syndrome), vascular diseases or metabolic disorders.
- Correction of the results of the previous surgery.
- Cavernous fibrosis (proliferation of connective tissues inside the cavernous bodies of the organ).
- Improper development of genitals.
- Change of sex to the opposite.
- Consequence of surgical intervention during operations (on the prostate, bladder or rectum).
The most common surgeries on the male penis involve lengthening the frenulum. The frenulum is a skin fold between the foreskin and the glans penis, and is usually long enough to allow optimal mobility of the foreskin. However, as a result of trauma or congenital pathology, the size of this element may be insufficient, causing pain during erection or problems with premature ejaculation. This problem, however, is quite easily and quickly solved by plastic surgery, when the patient's frenulum is extended to normal size under local anesthesia in 15-20 minutes with the formation of cosmetic sutures that do not need to be removed. Full recovery time after surgery is around 5-7 days.
Since the shortening of the frenulum can occur as a result of its rupture and a large blood vessel passes through it, which can cause bleeding, doctors recommend that you go to the surgeon immediately in case of rupture so thatthere is no improper fusion, which will lead to scarring.
Circumcision operations
Circumcision is also a simple surgical procedure - circumcision of the foreskin. The essence of the operation is that part of the skin of the penis covering the head is removed, and it remains completely open or partially closed. This operation on the penis is very old, originating in Eastern countries with a hot climate and low water resources. It helps prevent penile cancer, improve hygiene, reduce the risk of cystitis and pyelonephritis in boys tenfold, and reduce the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
Circumcision reduces the risk of cervical cancer in the partner of a circumcised man. the risk of transmission of papillomavirus types 16 and 18, which are the basis of the appearance of this disease, is reduced. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia (adolescence), sutured (usually with absorbable sutures, so the sutures are not removed). The operated person comes for a few dressings, resumes sexual activities in two to three weeks.
penis enlargement surgery
An operation on the genital organ is resorted to to increase it if a man at room temperature and some methods of stretching the organ is no more than 2 cm in length, which creates problems with sexual functionnormal in erection. If the erect penis reaches a size of up to 9. 5 cm, then it belongs to the group of small organs that are considered the norm (for example, in Asia, the size of penises in men averages about 11- 12 cmerect).
It is possible to increase the size of the penis with the help of vacuum devices (they are worn constantly, for a long time to stretch the penis), external stretching devices that work on the same principle as vacuum devices. empty, and by a surgical operation . The surgical procedure is based on the fact that a man cuts the ligament that attaches the organ to the pubic bone and extends the inner part of the penis. It is performed under general anesthesia, takes up to an hour, the recovery period lasts up to 5 weeks. Almost always, in addition to the operation, subsequent stretching on vacuum devices is recommended in order to develop the tissues further.
The optimal form of penis surgery to enlarge it today is ligamentotomy with scrotal access, which is somewhat more complicated than the classic one and allows you to minimize complications, reduce the time the patient remains under anesthesia andto start applying vacuum stretches. immediately after the operation. However, it should be borne in mind that an increase in length in this case can reach at best a maximum of 3-5 cm, often the organ does not lengthen in an erect state, but does notincreases only by 1-2 cm at rest, due to the dissection of the ligament, the base of the penis becomes ultra-mobile, the angle of erection becomes smaller. Therefore, you need to think several times about the suitability of the operation before going under the knife of the surgeon.
In some cases, a man's penis appears short due to a large pubic fat fold. Here, pubic plastic surgery is performed with simultaneous liposuction, although positive results can also be achieved through weight loss during sports. Besides lengthening the penis, you can also make it thicker with a surgical scalpel. In this case, the patient can be transplanted tissue from his latissimus dorsi muscle, inserted automatic fat along the shaft of the penis, removed from the pubic area by liposuction, implanted flaps of tissue from the gluteal fold under the skin of thepenis along its full length, etc. The ban on sexual activity after such manipulation lasts for two months.
A number of procedures are performed with the placement of local artificial implants of the shell or helium type, similar to those used for breast augmentation in women. This method is good for a more stable thickening result, minimal complications, no need for additional incisions to collect your own items for implantation. Surgeons believe that it is possible to increase the diameter of the male genital organ by 0. 5-1 cm on average, higher figures are unreliable and mislead potential customers.
After surgery, painkillers are usually not needed the next day. Every 2-3 days the patient goes to the dressing room, and if there are no complications, the stitches are removed after 12-14 days.
penile prosthesis
To restore the rigidity (elasticity) of the penis, in some cases, a penile prosthesis operation will be necessary. It is the implantation of inflatable or semi-rigid prostheses in the male genital area. When installing inflatable options, inflatable cylinders are introduced inside the cavernous bodies, an injection pump is introduced into the scrotum, and behind the pubis there is a reservoir (with sterile water), whichis connected to the rest of the system by tubes. The prosthesis does not affect sensitivity, ejaculation or orgasmic sensation in any way, on the contrary, it allows many sexual intercourse, and most women may not even notice the presence of a prosthesis if they do not know it.
There are more operations on the penis with the fitting of semi-rigid prostheses, because. such mechanisms are very reliable and inexpensive, and after the act the sexual organ can simply be lowered to a lower position. However, they give users a number of inconveniences due to constant erection.
Operations on veins and arteries
Erectile dysfunction is also treated with penile surgeries based on correcting the condition of blood vessels or veins. For example, in x-ray vascular vein occlusion, venous drainage of blood flow from the cavernous bodies of the penis is performed under local anesthesia. Also, as a rule, for injured young people, surgery is performed on the arteries, aimed at increasing blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.
Surgeons draw men's attention to the fact that they have only one genital organ and it should be handled carefully, entrusting surgical intervention only to qualified specialists.
