Often men are dissatisfied with the size of their penis, which results in psychological discomfort and complexes in the area of sexual life. To increase self-esteem and improve sexual relations with a partner, the male population resorts to penis enlargement.
Modern medicine offers the following methods of penis enlargement:
- ligamentotomy: penis lengthening;
- lipofilling - thickening of the penis.
To determine whether surgery to lengthen or thicken the penis is necessary, you should consult a specialized doctor. You need to undergo an examination and inform the doctor about your problem, as well as the desired result.
Penis enlargement
Ligamentotomy (penis enlargement) is a surgical operation during which the ligament system that holds the penis in the perineum is intersected, i. e. the free portion of the penis is widened, reducing the hidden part (the part of the penis inside the body). . Before the operation it is necessary to undergo some tests (urine and blood tests, tests for hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, ECG) and consult an anesthetist (since the operation is performed under general anesthesia, it lasts about an hour). After the operation it is necessary to wear an extender for 2-3 months (a special device that not only allows you to consolidate 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 adhere to certain precautions (limit physical activity, sexual abstinence, etc. ).
Thickening of the penis
Lipofilling (penis thickening) is an injection of adipose tissue into the penis to increase its diameter and give it the desired shape. The adipose tissues removed from excess storage areas (abdomen, buttocks, etc. ) by liposuction must belong directly to the patient. This helps to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions that are observed when a foreign implant is introduced. Adipose tissue is injected through micropunctures into the penis, then a surgical patch is applied and a bandage is applied on top. The main requirement in the postoperative period is abstinence from sexual intercourse. The disadvantage of this method is that the transplanted adipose tissues tend to dissolve because they are deprived of the vessels that nourished them. As a result, the tissue can dissolve unevenly, which leads to deformation of the penis.
Frequently asked 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 is enough for recovery; in others, recovery takes about six months. It all depends on the individual indicators and the speed with which the plants 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 precise recommendations on this issue, based on individual data.
What is an extender and why is it so important during the recovery period?
An extensor is a special stretching device used for rehabilitation after surgery. The patient is advised 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 beforehand and follow his recommendations in this procedure.
It is worth noting that wearing an extender will not affect potency or reproductive function in any way.
Will penis enlargement surgery affect my ability to have children?
NO. The reproductive function remains the same as before the operation. However, after penis enlargement surgery, it is worth having tests done to check this possibility. It would not be superfluous to pay attention to this before the operation so that you can compare the results before and after in this direction.
What negative consequences are possible after the operation?
The quality of the operation largely depends on the experience of the urological surgeon and the quality of the materials used. In addition, there may be some individual contraindications to this procedure. First of all, they are determined during consultation by the doctor, but in general contraindications include diseases of internal organs, blood clotting disorders, diabetes mellitus, cancer and so on. Acute infectious diseases during the operation can also negatively affect the outcome of the procedure, so be sure to inform your urologist about this.
