The normal size of an erect penis is considered to be from 11 to 19 centimeters. A penis less than 10 centimeters long 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 manhood dimensions can also use surgery - although there is no need, there is no prohibition for this, 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 comments are left by men who decide to resize the surgery.
Changing penis size with 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 looks longer, because there is a redistribution of centimeters towards the visible part. This operation was first performed in 1990.
Surgical enlargement of the penis occurs according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligament at the base of the penis.
- Releases the cavernous body to the point where the artery enters it.
- Repairs the body of the cave in a changed position at the level of the torn ligament.
- After removing the surgical stitches and the swelling subsides, the penis will appear 3-5 cm longer.
There are several types of surgical operations depending on the location of the incision (it is possible to achieve penis enlargement through suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronary incisions). Which type to choose depends on the morphological characteristics of the male penis - it is determined after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
This is not to say that surgically lengthening the penis is an easy 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 few months after surgery, the penis needs to be fixed with a bandage or plastic expander so that the ligament remembers the new position. The photo shows one of the options for expanders that can be worn with the combined method of penis enlargement.
"Does it hurt to lengthen the penis with surgery, are there any consequences? "many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure that the surgical procedure is not unpleasant. The surgery itself, as already mentioned, takes place under anesthesia, but after that the man has to endure pain (lasts several days), and then discomfort due to uncomfortable and unusual conditions. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the clamp or expander, a little 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 albuginea incision (this penis enlargement operation is also called a corporotomy). Enlargement of the penis occurs due to the fact that a clearly longer prosthesis is placed in the intracavernous space. This leads to stretching of the skin on the penis. To increase the effect, in addition to the operation to increase the penis, mechanical stretching of the penile tissue is performed (using an expander).
Various "parts" can be used as implants. For example, many clinics now use silicone implants that increase the length of the penis by 5 centimeters. The implant is inserted through a small incision in the groin. The entire 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 drawback to the introduction of silicone implants - they may not take root after the operation. To avoid this, surgical augmentation can be ordered, where fat is pumped in instead of an artificial implant. Adipose tissue is considered the most natural and safest type of penile filler. It is 100% compatible with male tissue, which reduces the risk of inflammation to a minimum. After insertion, it does not move (stable fat implant), in addition, it looks the most natural.
Penis enlargement by surgical methods with the help of a certain amount of adipose tissue has another plus - recovery after surgery takes about 5-6 days, and the results can be seen immediately. According to doctors, surgery allows you to increase the size of the penis up to 40% - and this can be both surgery to thicken the penis and surgery to change the length.
The downside is that some of the fat cells dissolve after a year or two, and the skin begins to sag due to stretch marks and voids forming. This is not so pretty - you have to do additional cosmetic surgery to pump new fat or cut loose skin.
Changing the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
The operation to increase the penis according to the Savva Perovich method is a complex procedure, but it allows you to achieve a fairly significant change in the size of a man's penis. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedural scheme is as follows:
- The surgeon carries out the cardinal division of the organ into its constituent parts - the doctor surgically separates the corpus cavernosum along the entire penile part of the male penis (from the spongy body to the glans penis).
- Between the cavernous body and the head, a piece of male costal cartilage is 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 is impossible to return the previous state of the penis after the operation. 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 male dignity
Male penile lipofilling is a non-invasive microsurgical 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 its help, 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 place of its excessive deposition in the body of a man: in the suprapubic zone, in the hips, abdomen, buttocks.
Since this is not actually a penis enlargement surgery, but rather a cosmetic procedure, recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only one day, and then he is discharged, but the patient has to refrain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks.
The downside of the procedure is that, like fat implantation, the results will not last. The tissue injected into the penis during this procedure tends to dissolve. You need to repeat the injection 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 portion of the rectus abdominis muscle of a man with fragments of the vascular system adjacent to it was used as starting material. During the operation, the muscle is pulled back towards the penis, where it is attached to its natural tissue.
summarize. In the article, we have listed the main methods of how to enlarge the penis surgically. Many men think about this, but they should remember that the enlargement operation can be successful, and complications can occur, so you need to weigh the pros and cons before you lie 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). However, the doctors in their reviews are unanimous: the operation should be performed only according to the medical prescription - but it is still a man who makes the final decision about surgical penis enlargement.
Features of the operation 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 desire, because. basically, representatives of the stronger sex are quite satisfied with what is given to them by nature. More or less often you can meet those who want to reduce the size of the manhood because of difficulties in sexual life or some other points, because. to correct excessive volume during sex, special rings are used, and there are also slimming panties.
Prerequisites for operation
Today, surgery may have the following indications:
- Various types of erectile dysfunction related to organ curvature (Peyronie's syndrome), vascular disease or metabolic disorders.
- Correction of the results of previous surgical interventions.
- Cavernous fibrosis (proliferation of connective tissue in the cavernous body of the organ).
- Improper development of genital organs.
- Gender change to vice versa.
- As a result of surgical intervention during the operation (on the prostate, bladder or rectum).
The most common surgery on the male penis involves lengthening the frenulum. The frenulum is the fold of skin 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, however, is relatively easy and quickly solved by plastic surgery, when the patient lengthens 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 a rupture and a large blood vessel passes through it, damage that can cause bleeding, doctors recommend that you immediately go to a surgeon when it ruptures so that there is no wrong fusion, which will result in scarring.
Circumcision operation
Circumcision is also a simple surgical intervention - circumcision of the foreskin. The essence of the operation is that the part of the foreskin that covers the head is removed, and it remains completely open or partially closed. This operation on the penis is very ancient, originating in eastern countries with hot climates and little water resources. It helps prevent penile cancer, improves hygiene, reduces the risk of cystitis and pyelonephritis in boys tenfold, and reduces the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
Circumcision allows to reduce the possibility of cervical cancer in circumcised male partners. the risk of transmission of papillomavirus types 16 and 18, which is the basis for the onset of the disease, is reduced. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia (teenagers), sutured (usually with absorbable sutures, so stitches are not removed). The operated person comes for several bandages, returning to sexual activity in two to three weeks.
penis enlargement surgery
Surgery on the genital organ to increase it is performed if a man at room temperature and certain methods to stretch the organ is not more than 2 cm long, which creates problems for normal sexual function in an upright position. 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 the penis in men on average reaches around 11-12 cm in an erect state).
It is possible to increase the size of the penis with the help of a vacuum device (it is worn continuously, for a long time to stretch the penis), an external stretching device that works on the same principle as a vacuum device, and through surgical procedures. Surgical intervention is based on the fact that a man cuts the ligament that attaches the organ to the pubic bone and lengthens the inside 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, further stretching on the vacuum device is recommended to build up the tissue again.
The optimal form of surgery on the penis 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 is under anesthesia, and start using vacuum stretching immediately after surgery. However, it should be remembered that the increase in length in this case can reach a maximum of 3-5 cm, often the organ does not become elongated in an erect state, but only increases by 1-2 cm. at rest, due to ligament surgery, the base of the penis becomes very mobile, the angle of erection becomes smaller. Therefore, you need to think many times about the appropriateness of the operation before going under the surgeon's knife.
In some cases, the male penis appears short due to the large folds of pubic fat. Here, genital plastic surgery is performed with simultaneous liposuction, although positive results can also be achieved due to weight loss during sports. Besides lengthening the penis, you can also make it thicker with a scalpel. In this case, the patient can have tissue transplanted from his latissimus dorsis muscle, inserted auto-fat along the shaft of the penis, taken from the pubic area through liposuction, flap implant tissue from the gluteal fold under the skin of the penis along the entire length, etc. Prohibition of sexual activity after such manipulation lasts for two months.
A number of operations are performed with the introduction of local implants of the shell or helium type, similar to those used for breast augmentation in women. This method is great for more stable thickening results, 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 customers.
After surgery, pain medication is usually not needed the next day. Every 2-3 days the patient visits 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, penile prosthesis surgery will be required. It is the implantation of an inflatable or semi-rigid prosthesis into the male genital area. When installing an inflatable option, an inflatable cylinder is introduced in the cavernous body, a pump for injection is inserted into the scrotum, and behind the pubis is a reservoir (with sterile water), which is connected to the rest of the system with a tube. The prosthesis does not affect the sensitivity, ejaculation or orgasmic sensation in any way, on the contrary, it allows a lot of sexual intercourse, and most women may not be aware of the presence of the prosthesis if they do not know about it.
There are more operations on the penis with the installation of a semi-rigid prosthesis, because. such a mechanism is very reliable and cheap, and after the act, the sexual organ can only be lowered to a lower position. However, they give the user some inconvenience because of the constant stand.
Operation on veins and arteries
Erectile dysfunction is also treated with penile surgery based on correcting the condition of blood vessels or veins. For example, in X-ray vascular venous occlusion, venous drainage of blood flow from the corpora cavernosa is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, as a rule, for young people who have been injured, surgery is performed on the artery, aimed at increasing blood flow to the cavernous body of the penis.
Surgeons draw men's attention to the fact that they have only one genital organ, and it must be handled with care, trusting surgical intervention only to qualified specialists.
