Nature does not give everyone equally: one - generously, the other - not much. Women often do not like their small breast size, and the main complex of men is the size of their dignity. A man who says he has never compared his penis to others will be sluggish. And statistics say that about 80% of men are not happy with the length of their penis.
Modern medicine has learned to correct human imperfections with the help of plastic surgery. Today almost everything can change, the male member is no exception. How is penis enlargement surgery performed, how effective is it and when do the indications for it appear?
Correction methods
Men have been paying close attention to the length of the penis since ancient times. The phallus is elevated to a cult and its expansion is done with the help of a ritual ceremony. The boys entering adolescence were hanged with weights on their penises. Some wear them all their lives. The effectiveness and safety of this method are controversial. The operation to change the size of a member already belongs to the category of private individuals.
For reference!There are a total of 3 methods for length correction: surgical, non-surgical, combined.
Ligamentotomy
The main and universal way to change the size of the penis is a ligamentotomy. This cosmetic operation was first performed by a Chinese scientist in 1990 and has been further improved and disseminated worldwide. The principle of the operation is to cut the ligament that hangs the penis. It is the one that anatomically holds the penis in a man's body.
The surgery is performed under both general and local anesthesia and usually takes no more than an hour. The recovery period takes 2-3 weeks, during which the patient is advised to wear an extension 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 the erection.
Important!There are several options for surgery, depending on the type of access: suprapubic, transcrotal, subcoronary.
Lipofilling
Most of the operations (90 cases out of 100) are performed to increase the length of the penis, and 10 - for volume or thickness. How to make a thicker penis?
- The fat material is collected from the thighs or abdomen with the help of a special needle.
- The resulting material is then processed by removing degreased tissue from it.
- Some specialists place the penis in a state of artificial erection, which ensures an even distribution of the material throughout the body. Lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia.
- A small incision is made in the penis. Using a needle or a special injector, the fat is slowly injected under the skin. The surgeon helps to distribute the material properly so that the penis is evenly enlarged.
The result of lipofilling is noticeable immediately after its completion: the penis increases by about 30%.This surgical method has a number of advantages over others: it is safer, the patient's own cells are used, and rehabilitation is performed in a short time. After some time, however, the procedure will have to be repeated, as the result is short-lived.
Phalloprosthesis
Falloprosthetics 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 cavernous bodies of the penis, which are of several types:
- One-component plastic prostheses;
- Inflatable prostheses in two parts;
- Three-part prostheses.
The prostheses are elastic (rigid) and hydraulic.Elastic dentures are more affordable. The erection of the penis is due to targeted efforts, but the constant semi-upright condition of the penis can cause discomfort to the man. Inflatable or hydraulic prostheses are more technological, they allow the penis to be relaxed and upright. All types of implants allow the penis to return to proper shape.
The operation to implant the prosthesis is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1, 5-2 hours. After the operation there is no risk of returning the organ to its previous size. Disadvantages of phalloprosthetics include:
- High risk of prosthesis rejection,
- Formation of fibrous tissue around the prosthesis,
- Possible reduction of the length by 1-2 cm.
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
It is possible to increase the size of the penis through a skin and fat valve transplant. The material (skin containing fat) is taken from the gluteal area and sewn around the trunk.
With the help of microsurgical muscle transplantation it is possible to enlarge the penis by 3-4 cm. But such surgery 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 happy with the size of their penis. On this basis, some people experience dysmorphophobia of the penis, caused by obsessive thoughts that something is wrong with the penis. The mental disorder causes the man a lack of self-confidence, which affects his communication with women and behavior in society. More often than not, these fears are unfounded.
For reference!The average penis size in an adult male is 9, 5 or more in length, the small penis is discussed when the size of the penis is less than 9, 5 cm. If the size of the penis in the enlarged state is not more than 3 cm, thenit is called the micropenis.
If the genital organ functions properly and satisfies the man and the woman, then there is no need for surgery.The operation can be performed for cosmetic and surgical purposes. The first group of operations is the most common. Penile plastic surgery is required:
- with reduced or no potency;
- with congenital anomalies in the development of the penis, its curvature and deformation, including as a result of disease;
- with hypertrophy of the cartilage and corpora cavernosa of the penis;
- due to dissatisfaction with the size, both too small and too large;
- when the patient decides to change gender;
- with injuries and damage to the penis.
Most patients who visit the surgeon are elderly 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 often, unpleasant consequences occur due to the unprofessionalism of the doctor.
A failed operation can lead to:
- reduced penis sensitivity and impotence,
- change in the normal angle of erection,
- scars,
- infection,
- reduction in the length of the penis due to the growth of the incised tissue to the pelvic floor, as a result of which part of it may be inside;
- pain when urinating or having an erection,
- discomfort during sex.
The listed complications occur in the first year after a failed operation and become the reason for repeated medical intervention.

Before agreeing to surgery, men try to increase their dignity in a non-surgical way. There are tools that can help them with this:
- Extension cord- a device used not only to correct the size but also to remove a cosmetic defect, for example with a curved penis. Under the influence of constant effort (at least 8 hours a day for 3 or more months) the penis can increase by 2-3 cm. This method is considered the most popular due to its effectiveness and lack of side effects.
- Suspension of loads.Let this way of dealing with what is set by nature remain in the past.
- Vacuum pumpor a vacuum pump helps to increase the penis in both length and thickness. But the changes are temporary, so it is recommended to use immediately before intercourse.
- Medicines, food supplements, gels and lubricantsis not the most effective way to enlarge your penis. Some preparations contain special vitamins that help strengthen men's health. They improve erectile function, help prolong sexual intercourse, but no more.
Before taking any of these "gadgets" or super powerful vitamins, try to enlarge your body with massage or the ancient technique of jelking. A specially designed set of exercises is aimed at changing the length of the penis and improving its functionality. If noneof the above methods did not bring the desired result and the need for penis enlargement has not disappeared over time, then plastic surgery of the penis will help solve the problem.
