The normal size of the erect penis is considered to be between 11 and 19 centimeters. A penis shorter than 10 centimeters 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, plastic surgery is recommended to a man. Even a man with normal manhood size can resort to the operation - although there is no need for it, there are also no prohibitions on this and the owner of the penis decides everything. In this article we will tell you how it is performed, how much penis enlargement surgery costs, what reviews leave men who decide on surgical scaling.
Changing the size of the penis by 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 seems longer, as there is a redistribution of centimeters towards the visible part. This operation was first performed in 1990.
Penis enlargement by surgery occurs according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligaments at the base of the penis.
- It releases the corpora cavernosa to the point where the arteries enter it.
- Fix the corpora cavernosa in a modified position at the level of the severed ligaments.
- After the surgical sutures are removed and the swelling subsides, the penis will appear 3-5 cm longer.
There are different types of surgery depending on the location of the incision (penis enlargement can be achieved through the suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronary incision). Which type will be chosen depends on the morphological characteristics of the man's penis: it is determined after consulting a plastic surgeon.
This is not to say that penis enlargement by surgery is a simple and painless procedure. Plastic augmentation surgery is performed only under general anesthesia. If the patient has contraindications for anesthesia, this operation will not be performed.
It is also necessary to remember that a couple of months after the operation, the penis will need to be fixed with bandages or a plastic expander so that the ligaments remember the new position. The photo shows one of the options for the expander that can be worn with the combined method of penis enlargement.
"Does it hurt to lengthen a penis with an operation, will there be any consequences? " Many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure the surgical procedure isn't pleasant. The operation itself, as already mentioned, takes place under anesthesia, but after it the man will have to endure the pain (it lasts a couple of days), and then the discomfort due to an uncomfortable and unusual condition. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the clamps or expander, even a slight discomfort is possible, so 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 incision of the albuginea (this penis enlargement operation is also called a corporotomy). Penis enlargement occurs due to the fact that a prosthesis of obviously greater length is placed in the intracavernous space. This leads to stretching of the skin of the penis. To enhance the effect, in addition to the operation to increase the penis, a mechanical stretching of the tissues of the penis is performed (using an expander).
Various "parts" can be used as a plant. For example, many clinics now use a silicone implant that increases the length of the penis by 5 centimeters. The implant is inserted through a small incision in the groin. The whole procedure takes place under local anesthesia.
Recovery after this takes several weeks. A man can walk and sit in 4-5 days, but the erection will only return after 1-2 months.
There is a disadvantage to the introduction of a silicone prosthesis: it may not take root after the operation. To avoid this, a surgical augmentation can be ordered, in which fat is pumped instead of an artificial implant. Fatty tissue is considered to be the safest and most natural type of penis filler. It is 100% compatible with men's tissues, which minimizes the risk of inflammation. After insertion, it does not move (the fat implant is stable), moreover, it looks the most natural.
Penis enlargement by a surgical method with the help of a certain amount of fatty tissue has another advantage: recovery after surgery takes about 5-6 days, and its results are immediately visible. According to doctors, the operation allows you to increase the size of the penis by up to 40% - and this can be both an operation to thicken the penis and an operation to change its length.
The downside is that some of the fat cells dissolve after a year or two, and the skin begins to form due to stretching and void formation. This is not very nice - you will have to perform an additional cosmetic operation to pump out new fat or cut sagging skin.
Changing the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
Operations to increase the penis according to the Savva Perovich method are a complex procedure, but it allows you to achieve quite tangible changes in the size of a man's penis. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The scheme of the procedure is as follows:
- The surgeon performs a cardinal division of the organ into its constituent parts: the doctor surgically separates the corpora cavernosa along the entire length of the suspended part of the male penis (from the spongy body to the glans).
- Between the corpora cavernosa and the head, pieces of a man's rib cartilage are placed or an artificial prosthesis (silicone or helium) is inserted.
- As a result, the elements of the penis are stretched to the desired size (maximum - up to 7 centimeters).
It is worthwhile to carry out this enlargement operation, only after carefully weighing the pros and cons, it will be impossible to restore the previous state of the penis after surgery. It is also worth preparing for a long recovery period. For example, a full erection after surgery will only return after 2-3 months.
Lipofilling of male dignity
Lipofilling of a male penis is a non-invasive microsurgical procedure that does not require open incisions. This penis enlargement surgery is a gradual subcutaneous injection of the patient's tissue. It is not used to increase the length: with the help of it, you can only correct the diameter of the penis (by 5-15 millimeters). The material necessary for the procedure is extracted by lipoaspiration from the places of its excessive deposition in the body of a man: in the suprapubic area, on the hips, abdomen, buttocks.
Since this is not really an operation to thicken the penis, but rather a cosmetic procedure, recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only one day, then he is discharged, but the patient will have to refrain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks.
The disadvantage of the procedure is that, as with the fat implant, the result will not be eternal. The tissue injected into the penis during this procedure tends to dissolve. You will need to repeat the injections every two to three years.
Muscle tissue transplant from the abdomen
There is another type of surgery that can be used to enlarge the penis: a muscle flap transplant. A part of a man's rectus abdominis muscle with fragments of the adjacent vascular system is used as the starting material. During the operation, the muscle is retracted towards the penis, where it attaches itself to its natural tissues.
Recap. In the article we have listed the main methods to enlarge a penis surgically. Many men think about it, but they should remember that augmentation operations can be successful and complications can occur, so you need to weigh the pros and cons before lying down on the surgeon's table. In half of the cases, surgery is not necessary and the man's size is normal (the desire to stretch or increase the thickness is just a whim). However, doctors in their reviews are unanimous: operations should only be performed according to medical prescriptions - but it is still a man who makes the final decision on surgical penis enlargement.
Features of operations on the penis
According to statistics, about 80% of men think about penis surgery, wanting to enlarge this organ. But as a rule, everything is limited to desires, because. Basically, the representatives of the stronger sex are quite satisfied with what is given to them by nature. Much less often you can meet those who want to reduce the size of manhood due to discomfort in sexual life or in other places, because. to correct excessive volumes during sex, special rings are used, and there is also slimming underwear.
Prerequisites for operations
Today, surgery can have the following indications:
- Various types of erectile dysfunction associated with organ curvature (Peyronie's syndrome), vascular disease or metabolic disorders.
- Correction of the results of the previous surgery.
- Cavernous fibrosis (proliferation of connective tissues within the corpora cavernosa of the organ).
- Incorrect development of the genital organs.
- Gender changes in reverse.
- A consequence of surgery during operations (on the prostate, bladder or rectum).
The most common surgeries on the male penis involve stretching the frenulum. The frenulum is a skin fold between the foreskin and the glans penis and is usually long enough to allow for optimal mobility of the foreskin. However, due to trauma or congenital pathologies, the size of this element may be insufficient, causing pain during erection or problems with premature ejaculation. This problem is however quite easily and quickly solved by plastic surgery, when the patient is stretched the frenum 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 approximately 5-7 days.
Since shortening of the frenulum can occur due to its rupture and a large blood vessel passes through it, the damage of which can cause bleeding, doctors recommend going to the surgeon immediately when it ruptures so that there is no incorrect fusion, which it will result in scars.
Circumcision operations
Circumcision is also a simple surgery: circumcision of the foreskin. The essence of the operation is that the part of the skin of the penis that covers the head is removed and remains completely open or partially closed. This operation on the penis is very ancient, it originates in eastern countries with a hot climate and scarce water resources. It helps prevent penile cancer, improves hygiene, reduces the risk of cystitis and pyelonephritis in boys ten times, and reduces the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
Circumcision reduces the chance of cervical cancer in the partner of a circumcised man. the risk of transmission of papillomavirus types 16 and 18, which underlie the onset of this disease, is reduced. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia (adolescence), sutured (usually with absorbable threads, so the sutures are not removed). The operated person comes for a couple of dressings, returns to sexual activity in two or three weeks.
penis enlargement surgery
An operation on the genital organ is resorted to to increase it if a man at room temperature and some methods of stretching the organ do not exceed 2 cm in length, which creates problems for normal sexual function in an erect state. If the erect penis 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 averages about 11-12 cm in state of erection).
It is possible to increase the size of the penis with the help of vacuum devices (they are worn constantly, for a long time to lengthen the penis), external stretching devices that work on the same principle as vacuum devices and through surgery. The surgery is based on the fact that a man cuts the ligament that attaches the organ to the pubic bone and extends the inner part of the penis. It is performed under general anesthesia, lasts up to an hour, the recovery period lasts up to 5 weeks. Almost always, in addition to the operation, a subsequent stretch on vacuum devices is recommended to further construct the tissues.
The optimal form of surgery on the penis to enlarge it today is the ligamentotomy with scrotal access, which is a little more complicated than the classic one and allows you to minimize complications, reduce the patient's stay time under anesthesia and start applying vacuum stretching immediately after the operation. However, it should be borne in mind that an increase in length in this case can reach a maximum of 3-5 cm, often the organ does not stretch in an erect state, but is only increased by 1-2 cm at rest, due to dissection of the ligament, the base of the penis becomes ultra mobile, the angle of erection changes to a smaller one. Therefore, it is necessary to think many times about the adequacy of the operation before going under the surgeon's knife.
In some cases, a man's penis looks short due to a large fold of pubic fat. Here, pubic plastic surgery is performed with simultaneous liposuction, although positive results can also be obtained as a result of weight loss during sports. In addition to lengthening the penis, you can also make it thicker with a surgical scalpel. In this case, the patient can be transplanted tissue from the great dorsal muscle, inserted self-fat along the shaft of the penis, taken from the pubic region by liposuction, flaps of tissue implanted from the gluteal fold under the skin of the penis along its entire length, etc. The ban on sexual activity after such manipulation lasts for two months.
A certain amount of operations are performed with the introduction of artificial local prostheses of the shell or helium type, similar to those used for breast augmentation in women. This method is good for a more stable thickening result, 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 clients.
After surgery, pain medications are usually not needed the next day. Every 2-3 days the patient visits the dressing room, and in the absence of complications, the stitches are removed after 12-14 days.
penile prosthesis
To restore the stiffness (elasticity) of the penis, in some cases, penile prosthesis surgery will be required. It is the implantation of inflatable or semi-rigid prostheses in the male genital area. When installing inflatable options, inflatable cylinders are introduced into the corpora cavernosa, an injection pump is introduced into the scrotum, and behind the pubis there is a reservoir (with sterile water), connected to the rest of the system via tubes. The prosthesis does not in any way affect the sensitivity, ejaculation or orgasmic sensation, indeed it allows numerous sexual intercourse and most women may not even notice the presence of a prosthesis if they are not aware of it.
There are more operations on the penis with the installation of semi-rigid prostheses, because. such mechanisms are very reliable and inexpensive, and after the act, the sexual organ can simply be lowered to the lowest position. However, they give users a number of inconveniences due to constant erection.
Interventions on veins and arteries
Erectile dysfunction is also treated with penile surgeries based on correcting the state of blood vessels or veins. For example, in X-ray vascular vein occlusion, venous drainage of blood flow from the corpora cavernosa of the penis is performed under local anesthesia. Also, as a rule, for young people who have been injured, arterial surgery is performed, aimed at increasing blood flow to the corpora cavernosa 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, entrusting the surgery only to qualified specialists.
