Operating methods
The methods for penis enlargement surgeries 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 under spinal anesthesia (injection of analgesics into the spinal cord). The operation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the recovery period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this period, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures an extension of its size. With actual measurements, the length of the instrument does not change, but the characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovers at home. Pain relief is required for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
The restoration takes up to several months. During this time period, there is an addiction to the organ and the healing process of the tissues, which are gradually scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly wear an extension program to finally correct the result obtained.
The cost of the connection is in the medium range. Pricing policy has an average value among such procedures and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of obvious indications and is subject to the body's readiness for surgery.
Phalloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics is one of the most difficult surgeries, as it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed during 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 operation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is inserted in the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about costs, then the process is quite costly and inaccessible to the main segment of the population.
Fat supplement
Liposuction is a type of plastic surgery in which the penis is thicker. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to achieve the desired result.
When adipose tissue is implanted, a gradual addiction occurs and the genitals function normally. In order for the procedure to give the right result, it must be performed 2-3 times a year, as the fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Liposuction 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 home for 2 days and the recovery process takes 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to avoid side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is used very rarely, as it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a flap and sew the vessels, thus increasing its size. The duration of the procedure is about 3 hours with general anesthesia.
The skin is well rooted and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery lasts 3 months, provided that all the prescriptions of the treating doctor are followed. Penile pain is observed within 20-25 days.
Penile prosthesis surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation used in the absence of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for conducting:
- The presence of a penis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis.
- Psychological problems.
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis).
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ.
- Improper surgery.
- Impotence, which arose in the context of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (heart pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prostheses. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is performed.
- Consult a psychologist (the specialist should prepare the patient for the absence of an erection after surgery for several months).
- Selection of the 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 pubic area. After surgery, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Lack of erection lasts up to 20 days and close intercourse is prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are the rejection of the established prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and the infection of the wound. With such symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately and repeat the manipulations to correct the situation that has arisen.
When performing prostheses, it is important to find a good surgeon who will select the most appropriate implant and rule out the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods of penis enlargement
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for penis enlargement, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation to the organ and has an immediate but short-term effect. Impact is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used according to the instructions. Among the negative consequences of such use, there is darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, increased trauma to the organ.
- Use extension.A special device of mechanical action, which helps to enlarge the penis. To achieve a tangible result, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (disturbance of blood flow, leading to impotence). The development of adverse effects is also noted when using the device (suspension of load on an instrument causing curvature and deformation).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.Opinions of doctors on this issue differ, as many experts consider such a treatment only as an adjunct. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking pills. Such funds can be used to improve power in general.
Reviews of doctors and patients
The answers of doctors and patients have different answers, as in this matter a lot depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its readiness for surgery.
Review of the surgeon: "As a specialized surgeon, I want to say that penis enlargement surgeries should be performed if there are compelling indications. Most of the time, such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformity, congenital anomalies and very small penis sizes. to properly assess the general condition of the patient and to exclude the presence of possible contraindications ".
Patient testimony: "Yes, I also have problems, as I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors say there is no sign and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to have a vertebral prosthesis, but I do not knowhow safe is this operation ".
