Ligamentotomy
One of the most common operations to increase the length of the penis is the ligamentotomy. It is done in all clinics, many times it is not done for medical reasons, but at the request of men.
Essence of operation:
- The doctor surgically cuts the ligaments that attach the penis to the pelvic bones. Penis enlargement occurs by stretching the inside of the penis and fixing it in a new position.
- To avoid inadequate healing of the ligaments after surgery, doctors recommend using a stretcher. You should use it for 2 to 8 hours a day.
- Sexual activity is contraindicated for 2 weeks after surgery.
The operation is not very traumatic, is performed through a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia and lasts one hour.
The penis enlargement can be up to 5 cm. The lengthening can be continued using an extender for up to 6 months on the recommendation of the surgeon.
Lip filler
This method will surgically increase the thickness of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
Made for aesthetic reasons by a man who considers his organ to be thin. An important condition is the correspondence of the length and thickness of the intimate dignity.
How will this operation be carried out? Surgically, it is not complex:
- Fat tissue is removed from the pubis or other area of a man, processed and injected with a syringe under the skin of the penis.
- It is technically important to introduce the adipose tissue evenly to avoid altering the correct shape of the penis.
- Anesthesia - anesthesia. Pubic seam is cosmetic.
- In the postoperative period, avoid physical activity for 1 month, sexual rest for two months.
The disadvantage of lipofilling is the need for surgical correction after 2 years.
Microsurgical muscle transplant
This penis enlargement surgery is performed for medical and cosmetic reasons.

- congenital pathology;
- member past illnesses;
- sex change in case of hermaphroditism;
- micropenis.

- Next, muscle tissue is removed from the pectoral muscles or abdomen.
- The flap is sutured to the tissues of the penis, the vessels and nerves are sutured.
The rehabilitation takes between 1, 5 and 2 months.
Prosthesis failure
The phalloprosthesis was first performed in 1936. Inspired by the presence of a special bone in the penis in walruses and seals, the surgeon transplanted costal cartilage into the patient's corpus cavernosum.
In modern clinics, other materials are used for plastic.
Displayed prosthesis failure:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- full plastic for penis extraction, sex change.
The dentures are:
- Rigid: silicone tubes implanted in the corpora cavernosa that provide a permanent erection.
These prostheses are uncomfortable: the penis is always standing up.
- Semi-rigid: It has a special design that allows you to move the penis from a hanging position to a standing position with a slight movement of the hand.
Inflatable and self-loading prostheses are more physiological. Pressing the scrotum turns on a special pump that fills the prosthesis with air or fluid from a hidden balloon.
Implant insertion
Increasing the thickness of the male organ involves the use of implants encapsulated in gel or silicone instead of those obtained from the man's own tissues.
Requirements for them:
- Implants must be synthetic;
- has filling properties, that is, elasticity and softness;
- the possibility of a stable fixation in the phallus.
The augmented endoprosthesis has a number of advantages:

Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections will increase the length by 1-3 cm and the thickness by 3-5 cm. A minimal general clinical examination is required first. This surgical treatment is performed on an outpatient basis:
- Under local anesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected with a cannula or needle, causing some discomfort.
- The manipulation takes about 10 minutes.
- The effect of the augmentation lasts up to a year and a half, then the injection is repeated in smaller doses.
Collagen matrix
Perform the operation at man's request. Instead of its own tissues, special capsules are inserted into the penis, which stimulate the organ's production of its own connective tissue.
