Ligamentotomy
One of the most common operations to increase the length of the penis is a ligamentotomy. It is performed in all clinics, often not for medical reasons, but at the request of men.
Nature of the operation:
- The doctor surgically cuts the ligaments that attach the penis to the pelvic bones. Penis lengthening is done by stretching the inside of the penis and fixing it in a new position.
- To prevent improper healing of the joints after surgery, doctors recommend the use of a stretcher. You should wear it for 2 to 8 hours a day.
- Sexual activity is contraindicated for 2 weeks after surgery.
The operation is slightly traumatic, performed through a small incision in the scrotum under anesthesia and lasts for one hour.
Penis enlargement can be up to 5 cm. Extension can be continued with the help of an extender for up to 6 months on the recommendation of the surgeon.
Lipofilling
This method will surgically increase the thickness of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
Performed for aesthetic reasons by a person who thinks his organ is thin. An important condition is the correspondence of the length and thickness of the intimate dignity.
How will this operation work? Surgically, it's not complicated:
- Adipose tissue is taken from a man's pubic or other area, treated and injected with a syringe under the skin of the penis.
- It is technically important to introduce adipose tissue evenly to avoid disturbing the correct shape of the penis.
- Anesthesia - anesthesia. The pubic suture 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 transplantation
This penis enlargement operation is performed for medical and aesthetic reasons.
Medical indications due to:
- post-traumatic conditions;
- congenital pathology;
- past diseases of the member;
- gender reassignment in case of hermaphroditism;
- micropenis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia for several hours:
- In the first stage the penis is prepared,
- muscle tissue is then taken from the chest muscles or abdomen.
- The valve is sutured to the tissues of the penis, vessels and nerves are sutured.
Rehabilitation takes 1, 5 - 2 months.
Phalloprosthesis
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 the rib cartilage into the patient's corpus cavernosum.
Other materials are used in modern plastic clinics.
Phalaprostheses shown:
- for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
- full plastic penis removal, gender reassignment.
The prostheses are:
- Hard - silicone tubes implanted in the corpora cavernosa to ensure a permanent erection.
Such prostheses are uncomfortable - the penis is always straight.
- Semi-rigid - have a special design that allows you to move the penis from hanging to an upright position with a slight movement of the hand.
Inflatable and self-filling prostheses are more physiological. When pressing on the scrotum, a special pump is turned on, which fills the prosthesis with air or liquid from a hidden balloon.
Implant placement
Increasing the thickness of the male organ involves the use of encapsulated implants in gel or silicone instead of those obtained from the man's own tissues.
Requirements:
- implants must be synthetic;
- have filling properties, ie elasticity and softness;
- the possibility of stable fixation in the phallus.
The extended endoprosthesis has a number of advantages:
- security;
- convenience;
- efficiency;
- has no contraindications;
- does not require special training;
- has no negative effect on erectile and reproductive function.
To perform such an operation, an incision 2, 5-3 cm long is made along the coronal sulcus, canals are formed at the root of the penis, encapsulated implants are placed and they can be fixed to the tunica albuginea.
Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections will increase the length by 1-3 cm and the thickness by 3-5 cm. A minimum general clinical examination is required first. This surgical treatment is performed on an outpatient basis:
- Under local anesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected through a cannula or needle, causing some discomfort.
- The manipulation takes about 10 minutes.
- The effect of the increase lasts up to a year and a half, after which the injection is repeated in smaller doses.
Collagen Matrix
Perform the operation at the request of the person. Instead of its own tissues, special capsules are inserted into the penis, which stimulate the production of its own connective tissue by the body.
Indications for operation
Medical indications for the danger of phalloplasty:
- small penis and micropenis;
- malformations (epi- and hypospadias);
