- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often the operation is performed with a small size of the organ, which is not able to perform full sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). Also, the operation is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a normal normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for surgery:
- A large amount of adipose tissue that is located in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- The membrane organ.

- Juvenile age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary system;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STIs;
- Dermatological diseases with spread on the skin of the organ;

- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Decreased sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After surgery, erectile dysfunction may occur for some time with the following symptoms:

- Reducing the size of the penis;
- Severe deformation;
- Erection problems;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Methods of work
Methods of penis enlargement surgery are based on the use of different methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed with the help of spinal anesthesia (injection of painkillers into the spinal cord). The manipulation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures an extension of its size. In the actual measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but the characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient was discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovered at home. Pain relief is needed during the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this period of time there is an addiction to the organ and the healing process of the tissues, which are gradually scarring. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly wear an extension cord to fix the final result.
The cost of a ligamentotomy is in the middle range. The pricing policy has an average value among the procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of obvious indications and when the body is ready for surgery.
Phalloprosthesis
Phalloprosthesis is one of the most difficult operations because it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed during gender reassignment and has a significant number of complications, which is why it requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
Solid, inflatable and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia, and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about price, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible to the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery in which the penis is thickened. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to obtain the desired effect.
When fat is transplanted, it gradually becomes addictive and the genitals function normally. In order for the procedure to give a suitable result, it should be performed 2-3 times a year, as fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm. The patient is discharged at home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is used quite rarely, as it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a tissue valve and sew the vessels, thus increasing its size. The duration of the procedure is about 3 hours with general anesthesia.
The skin is well rooted and practically does not cause rejection, which is why this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery lasts 3 months, provided that all prescriptions of the attending physician are followed. The soreness of the penis is noted within 20-25 days.
Penis prosthesis surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation that is used in the absence of the result of conservative treatment and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for conducting:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Impaired blood circulation in the body;
- Improper surgery;
- Impotence, which arose against the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclude the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a complete examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for lack of erection after surgery for several months);
- Selection of a suitable model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia, and the prosthesis can be placed through the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. After the operation, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Lack of erection lasts up to 20 days, and intimate intercourse is prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are the rejection of the prosthesis, the development of necrosis (fever, inflammation) and wound infection. In case of such symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately and perform repeated manipulations to correct the situation.
When performing prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who will choose the most appropriate implant and rule out the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods for penis enlargement
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques for penis enlargement, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the body and has an immediate but short-term effect. The effect is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of such use is darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, increased trauma to the organ.
- Using an extension cord.A special device for mechanical action that helps to enlarge the penis. To achieve a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (impaired blood flow leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also noted when using the device (attaching a load to an organ, causing its distortion and deformation).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.Opinions of doctors on this issue differ, as many experts consider such therapy only as an adjunct. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the body while taking the pill. Such agents can be used to improve potency in general.
Examinations of doctors and patients
The answers of doctors and patients have different reactions, as in this matter much depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its readiness for surgery.
Surgeon's Review: "As a qualified surgeon, I want to say that penis enlargement surgeries should be performed if there are convincing indications. Most often, such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformity, congenital anomalies and very small penis size. Appropriate technique, it is important to properly assess the general condition of the patient and to exclude the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient testimony: "Yes, I also have problems because I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors say there are no indications and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to do a phallo prosthesis, butI don't know how safe this operation is. "
