The benefits of the operation
There are many advantages of plastic surgery for penis enlargement, which makes men want to perform this manipulation:
- There is no need to take pills that always have a short-term effect on the body;

Tips for surgery
Penis enlargement surgery requires real tips. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty in their abilities, then the advice of a qualified psychologist is needed.
List of key indicators for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Congenital and congenital organ pathologies;
- Compression of tissues in the genitals;
- Congenital defects of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
In most cases, the operation is performed with a small organ size that does not allow full sexual intercourse (this occurs in 2% of pathological men). In addition, surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent a normal sexual life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for surgery:
- Excessive fatty tissue in the genitals;
- Hidden penis;
- Membrane organ.
Possible contraindications and complications
When performing an operation to enlarge the penis, it is important to learn the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The average size of the penis in the case of an erection;
- The puberty of a young man;
- Diabetes mellitus in advanced form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases of the skin;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during operation or strict non-compliance with the recommendations for recovery can lead to the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain during erection;
- Decreased sensitivity of the head of the body.
Erectile dysfunction after surgery may be accompanied by the following symptoms for some time:
- Penile instability during sexual intercourse;
- Inclination of the body angle during erection;
- Reducing the size of the penis;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Methods of operation
Methods for 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 under 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 duration of rehabilitation.
The procedure takes about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward to extend its size. With actual dimensions, body length does not change, but characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient was discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovered. Painkillers are required for the first 3 days. A postoperative incision leaves a pubic scar.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this period, there is a gradual dependence on the healing process of the body and tissues with scars. It is always necessary to wear an extension cord to finally correct the result obtained for recovery.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the middle range. The evaluation policy is of average value between these procedures and is fully justified if the operation is open and the body is ready for surgery.
Falloprosthesis
Phalloprosthetic surgery is one of the most difficult surgeries because the genitals need to be replaced with an implant. This type of manipulation is often performed during sex reassignment and has a number of complications, so it requires a long recovery and adherence to all medical recommendations.
Hard, swollen and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is inserted into the area of the sponge bodies. Speaking of costs, the procedure is very expensive and inaccessible to the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic operation in which the penis thickens. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (oil) under the skin to achieve the desired effect.
When adipose tissue is removed, addiction gradually develops and the genitals function normally. For the procedure to give the right result, it should be done 2-3 times a year, because the fat is absorbed and there are gaps that affect the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, so if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows the penis to grow to a thickness of 2 cm. The patient is discharged 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 microsurgical muscle transplantation. In addition, this technique is rarely used because of its high cost.
The essence of the operation is to close the penis with a tissue cap and increase its size by suturing the veins. The duration of the procedure using general anesthesia is about 3 hours.
The skin is well rooted and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective methods.
The patient is discharged home 5-6 days after the operation. Healing lasts 3 months, provided you follow all the doctor's prescriptions. Penile pain is noted for 20-25 days.
Penile prosthesis surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation used as a result of conservative treatment and in the absence of other alternative methods.
Tips for conducting:
- Presence of a micropenis that does not fit the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Disorders of blood circulation in the body;
- Improper surgical intervention;
- Impotence against the background of progressive chronic diseases.
You must undergo special training to perform the operation:
- Exclude the presence of diseases (heart pathology, tuberculosis, oncology) that are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a full examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (specialist should prepare the patient for the absence of an erection for several months after surgery);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implantable prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted through a circumcision, scrotum or pubis. It is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours after surgery.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days, and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Absence of an erection lasts up to 20 days, and intimate intercourse is prohibited for 60 days.
Possible complications of the operation include rejection of the implanted prosthesis, the development of necrosis (fever, inflammation) and wound infection. With such symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately and repeat the manipulations to correct the situation.
When making a prosthesis, it is important to find a good surgeon who will choose the most suitable implant and rule out the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods of penis enlargement
Doctors prescribe some non-surgical methods for penis enlargement, which are discussed in the list below.
- Use of vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the body and has a sudden but short-term effect. The shock is provided by a change in pressure in the airless cavity of the pump in which 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 are the darkening of the body due to numerous bruises and caries, an increase in organ trauma.
- Using an expander.A special mechanical movement device that helps to enlarge the penis. It must be used for several years to achieve a material effect. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (impaired blood flow, causes impotence). The development of adverse effects is also noted when using the device (hanging on a body that causes the load to bend and deform).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations. Doctors have different opinions on this issue, because many experts consider such treatment only as an adjunct. Therefore, the patient should clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the body while taking the drug. Such funds can generally be used to improve capacity.
Opinions of doctors and patients
The answers of doctors and patients have different answers, because a lot depends on the availability of certain indicators, the general condition of the body and readiness for surgery.
Surgeon's review: "As a qualified surgeon, I would say that if there are convincing indications, penis enlargement should be performed. Often such manipulations are performed with severe organ deformity, congenital anomalies and very small penis sizes. It is important to rule out the possibility of contraindications. "
Patient's statement: "Yes, I also have problems because I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors said there were no instructions and it was over. I want to go abroad and try to get a falloprosthesis. But I don't know how safe this operation is. . "
