The normal size of an erect penis is considered to be between 11 and 19 cm. A penis less than 10 cm in length 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, a man is recommended plastic surgery. A man with normal manhood dimensions can also resort to the operation - although there is no need, there are no prohibitions, and in this the owner of the penis decides everything. In this article, we will tell you how it is carried out, how much does penis enlargement surgery cost, what reviews are left by men who decide on surgical resizing.
Changing the size of the penis with a conjunctotomy
Now, the main operation is the lengthening of the penis by the method of syndesmotomy. 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 performed for the first time in 1990.
The enlargement of the penis by surgery is done according to the following scheme:
- The surgeon cuts the ligaments at the base of the penis.
- It frees the corpora cavernosa to the point where the arteries enter them.
- Fixes the corpora cavernosa in altered position at the level of severed ligaments.
- After the surgical stitches 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 (it is possible to enlarge the penis through the suprapubic, scrotal, subcoronal incision). Which type will be chosen depends on the morphological characteristics of the male penis - it is determined after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
This does not mean 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, then this operation will not be performed.
You must also remember that a few months after the operation, the penis should 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 penis lengthening with an operation hurt, will there be consequences? "»many men ask. Read the reviews and make sure that the surgical procedure is not pleasant. The operation itself, as already mentioned, is carried out under anesthesia, but after it the man will have to endure pain (lasts a few days) and then discomfort due to an uncomfortable, unusual situation. Ideally, the healing process takes at least two to three weeks. After removing the clamps or expander, a slight discomfort is also possible, then everything returns to normal.
Introduction of the intention to the instrument
Another type of penis enlargement surgery is the placement of a prosthesis through a transverse incision of the albuginea (this penis enlargement surgery is also called a somatotomy). The enlargement of the penis is due to the fact that a significantly longer prosthesis is placed in the intramuscular space. This leads to stretching of the skin on the penis. In order to enhance the effect, in addition to the penis enlargement operation, mechanical stretching of the penile tissues is also performed (using a dilator).
Various "components" can be used as an implant. 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 is done with local anesthesia.
Recovery after such an operation takes several weeks. A man can walk and sit in 4-5 days, but the erection will return only after 1-2 months.
There is a downside to inserting a silicone implant - it may not take root after surgery. To avoid this, surgical augmentation may be ordered, in which fat is pumped instead of an artificial implant. Adipose tissue is considered the most natural and safest type of penile filler. It is 100% compatible with male tissues, which reduces the risk of inflammation to a minimum. After insertion, it does not move (the fat implant is fixed), moreover, it looks the most natural.
Enlargement of the penis by a surgical method with the help of a certain amount of adipose tissue has another advantage - recovery after the operation 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 a penis thickening operation and a length change operation.
The downside is that some of the fat cells break down after a year or two and the skin begins to sag due to stretching and voids form. This is not very pretty - you will have to have an additional cosmetic procedure to pump out new fat or cut away damaged skin.
Changing the size of the penis according to the Perovich method
Operations to increase the penis according to the method of Savva Perovich is a complex procedure, but it allows you to achieve quite tangible changes in the size of a man's penis. The penis enlargement operation is performed under general anesthesia. The scheme of the process is as follows:
- The surgeon performs a basic division of the organ into its component parts - the doctor surgically separates the corpora cavernosa along the entire length of the pendulous part of the male penis (from the corpus spongiosum to the glans penis).
- Between the corpora cavernosa and the head, pieces of a man's costal cartilage are placed, or an artificial prosthesis (silicone or helium) is placed.
- As a result, the elements of the penis are lengthened to the desired size (maximum - up to 7 centimeters).
It is worth carrying out this enlargement operation, only after carefully weighing the pros and cons, it will be impossible to return to 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 return only after 2-3 months.
Lipofilling of male dignity
Male penile liposuction is a microsurgical non-invasive procedure that does not require open incisions. This penis enlargement surgery is a gradual subcutaneous injection of the patient's own tissue. It is not used to increase the length - with its help, you can only correct the diameter of the penis (by 5-15 millimeters). The material required for the procedure is extracted by liposuction from the places of its excessive deposition on a man's body: in the suprapubic zone, hips, abdomen, buttocks.
Since this is not actually a penile thickening operation, but rather a cosmetic procedure, recovery is quick. A man stays in the hospital for only one day and then is discharged, but the patient should abstain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks.
The disadvantage of the procedure is that, as with fat grafting, the result will not be eternal. The tissue injected into the penis during this procedure tends to dissolve. You should repeat the injections every two to three years.
Transplantation of muscle tissue from the abdomen
There is another type of surgery that can be used to enlarge the penis - a muscle flap transplant. A section of the rectus abdominis muscle of a man with fragments of the vascular system next to it is used as raw material. During the operation, the muscle is retracted towards the penis, where it is attached to its natural tissues.
Sum up. In the article, we have listed the main methods on how to enlarge a penis surgically. Many men think this, 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 on the surgeon's table. In half of the cases, no surgery is required and the man's size is normal (the desire to grow taller or fatter is just a whim). However, the doctors in their evaluations are unanimous: operations should be done only according to medical prescriptions - but it is still a man who makes the final decision on surgical penis enlargement.
Characteristics of operations on the penis
According to statistics, about 80% of men think about penis surgery, wanting to make this organ bigger. But as a rule, everything is limited to desires, because. basically, representatives of the stronger sex are quite satisfied with what nature gives them. Much less often you can meet those who want to reduce the size of the manhood due to discomfort in sexual life or some other signs, because. To correct excessive volumes during sex, special rings are used, and there are also slimming underwear.
Conditions for operations
Today, surgery can have the following indications:
- Various types of erectile dysfunction related to organ curvature (Peyronie's syndrome), vascular diseases or metabolic disorders.
- Correction of the results of previous surgery.
- Cavernous fibrosis (proliferation of connective tissues within the cavernous bodies of the organ).
- Improper development of the genitals.
- Change gender to the opposite.
- Consequence of surgery during operations (on the prostate, bladder or rectum).
The most common surgical procedures on the male penis include lengthening of the frenulum. The frenulum is a fold of skin between the foreskin and glans penis and is usually long enough to allow optimal foreskin mobility. However, as a result of trauma or congenital pathology, the size of this element may be insufficient, which causes pain during erection or problems with premature ejaculation. However, this problem is solved quite easily and quickly with plastic surgery, when the patient lengthens the fringe to a normal size under local anesthesia in 15-20 minutes with the formation of cosmetic stitches that do not need to be removed. Full recovery time after surgery is approximately 5-7 days.
Since the shortening of the frenulum can occur as a result of its rupture, and a large blood vessel passes through it, damage to which can cause bleeding, doctors recommend that you immediately go to the surgeon when it breaks, so that there is no wrong fusion. which will result in scarring.
Circumcision operations
Circumcision is also a simple surgery - circumcision of the foreskin. The essence of the operation is that 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, originating from eastern countries with a hot climate and few water resources. It helps prevent penile cancer, improve hygiene, reduce the risk of cystitis and pyelonephritis in boys by ten times, and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
Circumcision makes it possible to reduce the chance of cervical cancer in the partner of a circumcised man. the risk of transmission of the papillomavirus type 16 and 18, which are the basis for the appearance of this disease, is reduced. The operation is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia (adolescence), suturing (usually with absorbable threads, so the stitches are not removed). The operated person comes for two dressings, returns to sexual activity in two to three weeks.
penis enlargement surgery
An operation on the genital organ to increase it is resorted to if a man at room temperature and certain methods of stretching the organ does not have a length of more than 2 cm, which creates problems for normal sexual function in an upright position. If the penis in an erect position 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 reaches an average of somewhere around 11-12cm when erect).
It is possible to increase the size of the penis with the help of vacuum devices (worn continuously, for a long time to stretch 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 connects the organ to the pubic bone and expands the inner part of the penis. It is done under general anesthesia, takes up to an hour, the recovery period lasts up to 5 weeks. Almost always, in addition to surgery, subsequent stretching in vacuum devices is recommended to further tissue build-up.
The optimal form of surgery on the penis for its enlargement today is scrotum access sphincterotomy, which is somewhat more complicated than the classic one and allows you to minimize complications, reduce the time the patient remains under anesthesia and startapply vacuum stretching immediately after surgery. However, it should be taken into account that the increase in length in this case can reach a maximum of 3-5 cm in the best case, often the organ does not lengthen in an erect state, but only increases by 1-2 cm at rest, due to dissectionof the ligament, the base of the penis becomes hypermobile, the angle of erection changes to a smaller one. Therefore, you need to think many times about the appropriateness of the operation before going under the surgeon's knife.
In some cases, a man's penis appears short due to a large pubic fat fold. Here, pubic plastic surgery is performed with simultaneous liposuction, although positive results can also be achieved as a result of weight loss during sports. In addition to lengthening the penis, you can also make it thicker with a scalpel. In this case, the patient can have tissue transplanted from his latissimus dorsi muscle, autologous fat inserted along the shaft of the penis, taken from the pubic area by liposuction, flaps of tissue from the gluteal fold implanted under the skinof the penis along the entire length etc. The prohibition of sexual activity after such manipulations lasts for two months.
Some procedures are performed by inserting artificial local implants of the shell or helium type, similar to those used for breast augmentation in women. This method is good for more stable thickening effect, minimal complications, no extra incisions are needed 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 customers.
After surgery, pain medication is 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.
penis prosthesis
To restore penile stiffness (elasticity), 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 inserted into the corpora cavernosa, a pump for infusion is inserted into the scrotum, and behind the pubic cavity there is a reservoir (with sterile water), which is connected to the rest of the system with tubes. The condom does not affect sensitivity, ejaculation or the feeling of orgasm in any way, instead it allows for many sexual contacts and most women may not even notice the presence of a condom if they are not aware of it.
More operations are performed on the penis with the placement of semi-rigid prostheses, because. such mechanisms are very reliable and cheap, and after the act, the sexual organ can simply be lowered to the bottom position. However, they offer users a number of inconveniences due to constant erection.
Operations on veins and arteries
Erectile dysfunction is also treated with penile surgeries based on correcting the condition of blood vessels or veins. For example, in X-ray veno-occlusion, venous drainage of blood flow from the corpora cavernosa of the penis is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, as a rule, for young people who have been injured, surgery is performed on the arteries, with the aim of 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 should be treated with care, entrusting surgery only to qualified specialists.
