Often men are dissatisfied with the size of their penis, which results in psychological and complex concerns in the field of sexual life. To increase self-esteem and improve sexual relations with a partner, the male population turns to penis enlargement.
Modern medicine offers the following methods of penis enlargement:
- ligamentotomy - lengthening of the penis;
- lipofilling - thickening of the penis.
To determine whether you need surgery to lengthen or thicken the penis, you should consult a specialist doctor. You should undergo an examination and tell the doctor your problem, as well as the desired result.
Penis enlargement
Ligamentotomy (enlargement of the penis) is a surgical operation during which the ligamentous apparatus that holds the penis in the perineum is interrupted, that is, the free part of the penis is enlarged by reducing its hidden part (the part of the penis inside the body). . Before the operation, it is necessary to undergo a series of tests (urine and blood tests, tests for hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, EKG) and consult an anesthesiologist (since the operation is performed under general anesthesia, it takes approximately one hour. ). After the operation, it is necessary to wear an extender for 2-3 months (a special device that allows not only the consolidation of the result of the operation, but also prevents the formation of adhesions, promotes the physiological growth of the membranes and tissues of the penis). It is also necessary to carefully observe the rules of personal hygiene and observe some precautions (limit physical activity, sexual abstinence, etc. ).
Thickening of the penis
Lipofilling (penile thickening) is an injection of fatty tissue into the penis to increase its diameter and give it the desired shape. Fat tissue that is removed from areas of excessive storage (abdomen, buttocks, etc. ) by means of liposuction must belong directly to the patient. This helps to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions that are observed when a foreign implant is inserted. Adipose tissue is injected into micro-punctures on the penis, then a surgical pad is applied and a bandage is placed on top. The main requirement in the post-surgery period is abstinence from sexual intercourse. The disadvantage of this method is that the transplanted fatty tissues tend to dissolve due to the fact that they are deprived of the vessels that feed them. As a result, the tissues can be distributed unevenly and this leads to deformation of the penis.
Popular questions from customers
How long after surgery is it safe to resume sexual activity?
In this matter, everything is individual. In some cases, 2 months are enough for recovery, in others, recovery takes about six months. It all depends on individual indicators and how quickly the implants take root. Resuming sexual activity after penile lengthening or thickening surgery should be discussed with your urologist during a consultation. The doctor will be able to give more accurate recommendations in this matter, based on your individual data.
What is an extender and why is it so important during the recovery period?
An extender is a special stretching device used for rehabilitation after surgery. The patient is recommended to wear the extender for 2-3 months until complete recovery. It will not bring discomfort in everyday life, but it will affect the result - this procedure will serve to consolidate the operation.
An extender is also used to enlarge the penis without surgery, but in this situation it is better to consult a urologist in advance and follow his recommendations in this procedure.
It is worth noting that wearing an extender will not affect reproductive potency or function in any way.
Will penis enlargement surgery affect my ability to have children?
No. Reproductive function remains the same as before the operation. However, after penile enlargement surgery, it is worth having tests to check this possibility. It would not be superfluous to pay attention to this before the operation, in order to compare the results before and after in this regard.
What are the possible negative consequences after surgery?
In many ways, the quality of the operation depends on the experience of the urological surgeon, as well as on the quality of the materials he uses. Plus, there may be some individual contraindications for this procedure. First of all, they are determined at the consultation stage by your doctor, but in general, contraindications include diseases of internal organs, blood coagulation disorders, diabetes mellitus, cancer, etc. Acute infectious diseases during surgery can also negatively affect the outcome of the procedure, so be sure to inform your urologist about them.
