Nature does not endow everyone equally: one generously, the other not much. Women often do not like the small size of their breasts, and the main complex of men is the size of their dignity. The man who says that he has never compared his penis to others will be slow. And statistics say that about 80% of men are not happy with the length of their penis.
Modern medicine has learned to correct human blemishes with the help of plastic surgery. Today, almost everything can be changed, the male member is no exception. How is penis enlargement surgery going, how effective is it and when do the indications appear?
Correction methods
Men have paid more attention to penis length since ancient times. The phallus was raised to worship and its enlargement was carried out through a ritual ceremony. Boys entering adolescence were hung from their penises with weights. Some have used them their entire lives. The effectiveness and safety of this method is debatable. The operation to resize a member now belongs to the category of private.
For reference!In total, there are 3 length correction methods: surgical, non-surgical, combined.
Ligamentotomy
The main and universal way to change the size of the penis is the ligamentotomy. For the first time this operation for cosmetic purposes was performed by a Chinese scientist in 1990, and it was improved and spread throughout the world. The principle of the operation is to cut the ligament that suspends the penis. It is she who anatomically supports the penis inside the man's body.
Surgical intervention is performed under general and local anesthesia and usually takes no more than an hour. The recovery period is 2-3 weeks, during which time the patient is recommended to wear an extender to consolidate the result. The operation allows you to change the size by 3-5 cm without affecting the vessels, muscles and veins responsible for erection.
Important!There are several options to perform the operation, depending on the type of access: suprapubic, transscrotal, subcoronary.
Lip filler
Most of the operations (90 cases out of 100) are performed to increase the length of the penis and 10 to increase the volume or thickness. How does the penis get thicker?
- Fatty material is collected from the thighs or abdomen with a special needle.
- The resulting material is then processed, removing the fat-free tissue.
- Some specialists put the penis in a state of artificial erection, which ensures a uniform distribution of the material throughout the organ. Lipofilling is done under local anesthesia.
- A small incision is made in the penis. With a needle or a special injector, fat is slowly injected under the skin. The surgeon helps distribute the material correctly so that the penis is evenly enlarged.
The result of lipofilling is noticeable immediately after its completion: the penis increases in girth by approximately 30%.This surgical method has a number of advantages over others: it is safer, the patient's own cells are used, and rehabilitation is carried out in a short time. However, after a while, the procedure will have to be repeated, as the result is short-lived.
Prosthesis failure
The phalloprosthesis is recommended for men who have erection problems, as well as congenital anomalies of the genitals.
During the operation, special prostheses are inserted into the corpora cavernosa of the penis, which are of several types:
- One-piece plastic prosthesis;
- Two-piece inflatable prostheses;
- Three-piece prosthesis.
Dentures are elastic (rigid) and hydraulic.Elastic prostheses are more affordable. The erection of the penis occurs due to a directed effort, but the constant semi-erect state of the penis can cause discomfort to the man. Inflatable or hydraulic prostheses are more technological, they allow the penis to be in a calm and erect state. All types of implants allow the penis to return to the correct shape.
The prosthesis implantation operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 1, 5 and 2 hours. After the operation, there is no risk that the organ will return to its previous size. Disadvantages of Falloprosthetics include:
- High risk of rejection of the denture,
- Fibrous tissue formation around the prosthesis.
- Possible reduction in length by 1-2 cm.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
It is possible to increase the size of the penis by transplanting a flap of skin and fat. The material (fatty skin) is taken from the gluteal region and sewn around the trunk.
With the help of microsurgical muscle transplantation, it is possible to enlarge the penis by 3 to 4 cm, but this surgical operation is considered one of the most difficult and expensive. The patient is under general anesthesia for more than 3 hours and the recovery period takes a long time.
Indications and contraindications for surgery.
Not all men are completely satisfied with the size of their penis. Some people, on this basis, experience penis dysmorphophobia, caused by obsessive thoughts that something is wrong with the penis. Mental disorder causes a man to lose confidence in himself, which affects his communication with women and his behavior in society. Most of the time, these fears are unfounded.
For reference!The average size of the penis in an adult man is 9. 5 or more in length, the small penis is commented when the size of the penis is less than 9. 5 cm. If the size of the penis in an extended state is not more than 3 cm, then it is called a micropenis.
If the genital organ works properly and satisfies both the man and the woman, then there is no need for an operation.The operation can be performed for cosmetic and surgical purposes. The first group of operations is the most common. Penile plastic surgery is necessary:
- with decrease or absence of potency;
- with congenital anomalies in the development of the penis, its curvature and deformation, even as a result of diseases;
- with hypertrophy of cartilage and corpora cavernosa of the penis;
- due to dissatisfaction with the size, both too small and large;
- when the patient decides to change sex;
- with injury and damage to the penis.
Most of the patients who visit the surgeon are middle-aged men who deliberately go under the knife to adjust the size of their dignity.
Complications
Penis enlargement surgery, like other surgical procedures, can lead to complications. Modern medical technologies make it possible to reduce their number. Most of the time, unpleasant consequences appear due to the lack of professionalism of the doctor.
A failed operation can result in:
- decreased sensitivity of the penis and impotence,
- change in the normal angle of erection,
- scars
- infection,
- a decrease in the length of the penis due to the accumulation of the incised tissue on the pelvic floor, as a result of which a part may be inside;
- pain when urinating or erections
- discomfort during sexual intercourse.
The listed complications occur during the first year after a failed operation and become the reason for repeated medical interventions.
