The normal size of the erect penis is considered to be from 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 manhood can also resort to the operation - although there is no need, there are no prohibitions on this either, and the owner of the penis decides everything. In this article, we will tell you how it is carried out, how much penis enlargement surgery costs, what reviews are left by men who decide on surgical resizing.
Changing the size of the penis by ligamentotomy
Now, the main operation is to lengthen the penis using the ligamentotomy method. At the same time, the penis itself, in fact, does not change in size, but visually it seems longer, as there is a redistribution of centimeters towards the visible part. This operation was first performed in 1990.
The penis enlargement by surgery occurs according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligaments at the base of the penis.
- Releases the cavernous bodies to the point where the arteries enter them.
- Fixes the cavernous bodies in a changed position at the level of cut off ligaments.
- After removing the surgical sutures and the swelling subsides, the penis will appear 3-5 cm longer.
There are several types of surgical operation depending on the location of the incision (it is possible to achieve penis enlargement through the suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronary incision). Which type will be chosen depends on the morphological features of the man's penis - it is determined after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
This is not to say that penis lengthening by surgery is a simple and painless procedure. Plastic augmentation surgery is performed only under general anesthesia. If the patient has contraindications for anesthesia, then this operation will not be performed.
You also need to remember that a couple of months after the operation, the penis will have 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 expander that can be worn with the combined method of penis enlargement.
"Does it hurt to lengthen a penis with an operation, will there be consequences? "many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure that the surgical procedure is not pleasant. The operation itself, as already mentioned, takes place under anesthesia, but after it the man will have to endure pain (it lasts a couple of days), and then discomfort due to an uncomfortable, unusual condition. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the clamps or the expander, slight discomfort is also possible, then everything returns to normal.
Introduction of the prosthesis into the organ
Another type of penis enlargement surgery is the placement of a prosthesis through a transverse incision of the albuginea (this penis enlargement operation is also called a corporotomy). Enlargement of the penis occurs due to the fact that a prosthesis of obviously 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, a mechanical stretching of the tissues of the penis is done (using an expander).
Various "parts" can be used as an implant. For example, many clinics now use a silicone implant that increases the length of the penis 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 in 4-5 days, but the erection will return only after 1-2 months.
There is a disadvantage to the introduction of a silicone implant - it may not take root after the operation. To avoid this, surgical augmentation can be ordered, in which fat is pumped in instead of an artificial implant. Adipose tissue is considered the most natural and safe type of penile 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 with the help of a certain amount of adipose tissue has another plus - 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 this can be both an operation to thicken the penis and an operation to change the length.
The downside is that part of the fat cells dissolves after a year or two, and the skin begins to gather due to stretching and voids formed. This is not very beautiful - you will have to do an additional cosmetic operation to pump in new fat or cut off sagging skin.
Changing the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
Operations to increase the penis according to the method of Savva Perovich is a complex procedure, but it allows you to achieve quite tangible changes in the size of the penis of a man. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The scheme of the procedure is as follows:
- The surgeon conducts a cardinal division of the organ into its constituent parts - the doctor surgically separates the cavernous bodies along the entire length of the hanging part of the male penis (from the spongy body to the glans penis).
- Between the cavernous bodies and the head, pieces of costal cartilage of a man are placed or an artificial (silicone or helium) prosthesis is inserted.
- As a result, the elements of the penis are lengthened 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 return 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 of a male penis is a microsurgical non-invasive procedure that does not require open incisions. This penis enlargement surgery is a staged 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 (by 5-15 millimeters). The material required for the procedure is extracted by lipoaspiration 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 an operation to thicken the penis, but rather a cosmetic procedure, the recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only one day, and then he is discharged, but the patient will have to refrain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks.
The disadvantage of the procedure is that, as with fat implantation, the result will not be eternal. The tissue injected into the penis during this procedure tends to dissolve. You will have to repeat the injections every two to three years.
Transplantation of muscle tissue from the abdomen
There is another type of surgery that can be used to enlarge the penis - a muscle flap transplant. A part of the rectus abdominis muscle of a man with fragments of the vascular system adjacent to it is used as the starting material. During the operation, the muscle is retracted towards the penis, where it is fixed to its natural tissues.
Summarize. In the article, we have listed the main methods of how to enlarge a penis in a surgical way. Many men think about this, but they should remember that augmentation operations can be successful, and complications can occur, so you need to weigh the pros and cons before you lie down on the surgeon's table. In half of the cases, surgery is not required, and the size of the man is normal (the desire to lengthen or increase the thickness is just a whim). Still, doctors in their reviews are unanimous: operations should be done only according to medical prescriptions - but it is still 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 make this organ bigger. But as a rule, everything is limited to desires, because. basically, the 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 manhood due to inconvenience in sexual life or some other points, because. to correct excessive volumes during sex, special rings are used, and there is also slimming underwear.
Prerequisites for operations
Today, surgery may have the following indications:
- Various types of erectile dysfunction associated with organ curvature (Peyronie's syndrome), vascular diseases or metabolic disorders.
- Correction of the results of the previous surgical intervention.
- Cavernous fibrosis (proliferation of connective tissues inside the cavernous bodies of the organ).
- Incorrect development of the genital organs.
- Sex change to the opposite.
- A 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 foreskin mobility. However, as a result of trauma or congenital pathology, the size of this element may be insufficient, which causes pain during erection or problems with premature ejaculation. This problem is nevertheless quite easily and quickly solved by plastic surgery, when the patient is lengthened the frenulum to a 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 about 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, damage to which can cause bleeding, doctors recommend that you immediately go to the surgeon when it breaks so that there is no incorrect fusion, which will result in scars.
Circumcision operations
Circumcision is also a simple surgical intervention - circumcision of the foreskin. The essence of the operation is that part of the skin of the penis that covers the head is removed, and it remains completely open or partially closed. This operation on the penis is very ancient, originated in eastern countries with a hot climate and little water resources. It helps prevent penile cancer, improve hygiene, reduce the risk of cystitis and pyelonephritis in boys by ten times, and reduce the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
Circumcision makes it possible to reduce the chance of cervical cancer in the partner of a circumcised man. the risk of transmission of papillomavirus type 16 and 18, which are the basis for the onset of this disease, is reduced. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia (adolescence), sutured (usually with absorbable threads, so the sutures are not removed). The operated person comes for a couple of dressings, returns to sexual activity in two to three weeks.
penis enlargement surgery
An operation on the genital organ to increase it is resorted to if a man at room temperature and certain methods of stretching the organ is no more than 2 cm in length, which creates problems for normal sexual function in an erect state. If the penis in an erect state 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 on average reaches somewhere around 11-12 cm in a state of erection).
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, and through a surgical operation. Surgical intervention 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 one 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 further build up tissues.
The optimal form of surgery on the penis in order to enlarge it today is ligamentotomy with scrotal access, which is somewhat more complicated than the classical one and allows you to minimize complications, reduce the time the patient stays under anesthesia, and start applying vacuum stretching immediately after the operation. However, it should be borne in mind that an increase in length in this case can reach a maximum of 3-5 cm at best, often the organ does not become elongated in a state of erection, but is increased only by 1-2 cm at rest, due to dissection of the ligament, the base of the penis becomesultra-mobile, the angle of erection changes to a smaller one. Therefore, you need to think many times about the appropriateness of the operation before going under the surgeon's knife.
In some cases, a man's penis looks short due to a large pubic fat fold. Here, pubic plastic surgery is performed with simultaneous liposuction, although positive results can also be achieved as a result of losing weight during sports. In addition to 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 auto-fat along the shaft of the penis, taken from the pubic region by liposuction, implanted tissue flaps from the gluteal fold under the skin of the penis along its entire length, etc. Prohibition of sexual activity after suchmanipulation lasts two months.
A certain amount of operations is performed with the introduction of artificial local 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 elements for implantation. Surgeons believe that it is possible to increase the diameter of the male genital organ by an average of 0. 5-1 cm, higher figures are unreliable and mislead potential clients.
After surgery, pain medications are usually not needed the next day. Every 2-3 days the patient visits the dressing room, and in the absence of 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 required. It is the implantation of inflatable or semi-rigid prostheses into the male genital area. When installing inflatable options, inflatable cylinders are introduced inside the cavernous bodies, a pump for injection is introduced into the scrotum, and behind the pubis is a reservoir (with sterile water), which is 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 for numerous sexual intercourses, and most women may not even notice the presence of a prosthesis if they do not know about it.
There are more operations on the penis with the installation of semi-rigid prostheses, because. such mechanisms are very reliable and inexpensive, and after the act, the sexual organ can simply be lowered to the 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 the correction of the state 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. In addition, as a rule, for young people who have been injured, surgery is performed on the arteries, aimed at increasing blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.
Surgeons draw the attention of men to the fact that they have only one genital organ, and it must be handled with care, trusting surgical intervention only to qualified specialists.
