Penis enlargement is one of the most popular male surgeries that can be performed for both cosmetic and medical reasons.
In the latter case, we are talking about the following infringements:
- cavernous fibrosis, in which the tissues of the penis are partially replaced by cartilage;
- immaturity of the penis;
- erectile dysfunction due to penile vascular dysfunction or Peyronie's disease;
- endocrine impotence that developed in the background of diabetes mellitus;
- history of penile failure operations;
- the need to eliminate the consequences of prostate, bladder, rectal surgeries.
There are several contraindications to penis enlargement:
- severe diabetes mellitus;
- oncology;
- venereal diseases;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases of the urogenital system (prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis);
- intimate herpes;
- presence of ulcers and sores on the penis.
- violation of blood clotting;
- the patient is struggling with mental disorders.
Surgical extension of the penis
Surgical enlargement of the penis can be performed in several ways. Thus, an operation called "ligamentotomy" allows you to increase the dependent (free) section of the penis by reducing the perineal (hidden) section. In this case, the elements of the ligamental device that holds his penis in the perineal area are corrected. In fact, in this case, the original size of the penis remains unchanged because only its length is distributed.
An alternative to penis extension is implantation into the interior of the endoprosthesis organ, which is obviously long. Such endoprostheses may be accompanied by complete mobilization of the legs of the penis, but it should be borne in mind that this step causes unavoidable damage to the deep cavernous arteries and genitals. As a result, erectile dysfunction is possible, so such an operation to enlarge the penis is not recommended for completely healthy men who are not associated with erectile dysfunction.
Thickening of the penis
Currently, the most popular technique is to increase the thickness of the penislipofilling(own adipose tissue transplantation). This penis enlargement operation is performed under general anesthesia. In the first stage of the surgery, the fat cells are taken up in the donor areas (abdomen, thigh) using special syringes and a hollow needle (cannula).
Due to the rounded end of the cannula, large blood vessels and nerves are not damaged when the needle moves under the skin. Only the fat cells are absorbed in the plastic syringe, and a small amount of blood is formed when the small blood vessels are damaged. The special processing of the resulting fatty suspension makes it possible to obtain "pure" adipose tissue, which is then placed in thin layers under the skin of the penis through micropunctions.
After completion of the operation, the holes are sutured and sealed with surgical tape. Lipofilling allows the diameter of the penis to be increased by 0, 5-1, 5 cm, and due to the force of gravity, the non-erect penis may increase by 1-2 cm in the future.
Another technique for thickening the penis is to transfer an area of the rectus abdominal muscle under the skin of the penis in which axial blood flow is maintained. The wing obtained during the surgery seemed to be wrapped around its entire length around the penis. This approach significantly reduces the chance of graft rejection because the muscles simply unfold on full-fledged feeding vessels. Such an increase in the penis at the clinic means that the patient refuses physical activity for six months (violation of this recommendation can lead to the development of an injury to the anterior abdominal wall after surgery).
Penis enlargement
This manipulation can be performed both in combination with penis enlargement or as a separate procedure. The most common causes of penile head growth in the clinic are:
- differences in trunk and penis head diameters;
- impossibility to extend the penis with an extension due to insufficient size of the head (impossible to fix the device correctly);
- maintaining the correct proportions of the enlarged penis.
One popular way to enlarge the head is to introduce a special matrix between it and the corpora cavernosa, which increases the diameter of the head both at rest and at rest. The main disadvantage of this technique is the high risk of necrosis of the tissues of the penis, as the supply vessels are inevitably severed during the operation.
A safer method is to inject a gel containing hyaluronic acid into the glans of the penis. This approach allows you to achieve the desired volume when you are not standing, which is an important point when extending your penis with an extender. Unfortunately, after 1-1, 5 years, the gel gradually dissolves, so this procedure must be repeated regularly.
Penis enlargement: advantages and disadvantages
The list of arguments in favor of penis enlargement surgery includes:
- simplicity and safety of surgery;
- has a positive effect on men’s sexual and psychological health;
- improving the quality of intimate life;
- maintaining the extended life of the penis.
There are opponents to penis enlargement surgery,
which give the following arguments:
- the possibilities for surgery are rather limited - the growth of the penis thus does not exceed 5 cm in length and 6 cm in width;
- traces of surgery may remain on the operated organ;
- the short duration of the results of the operation (with the thickening of the penis, the volume obtained remains in many cases for several years);
- possible complications (bleeding, infection in the wound, pain during erection, suffocation after surgery).
Operating results
Surgical enlargement of the penis, which you can read about on many websites, allows you to extend its length between 1 and 3. 5 cm. Penis extension with a special stretcher (extension) can increase this indicator by up to 2 cm.
It is worth noting that without an extension, the operation is ineffective and the length of the penis does not change. In the vast majority of cases, the lack of results after the procedure is due to the stretcher either not being used or being used incorrectly.
The effectiveness of using an extension cord depends on the following conditions:
- the original length of the penis (the longer, the better results can be achieved). Therefore, impressive results can be achieved after ligamentotomy;
- correctness of the anatomy of the penis (affects the ability to fix the extender);
- age (the elasticity and stretching capacity of tissues decreases as they age);
- patient persistence (the more often and for longer the device is used, the better the effect is achieved).
