Often men are dissatisfied with the size of their penis, which leads to psychological discomfort and complexes in the field of sexual life. In order to increase self-esteem and improve sexual relations with a partner, the male population resorts to penis enlargement.
Modern medicine offers the following methods for penis enlargement:
- ligamentotomy - penis lengthening;
- lipofilling - thickening of the penis.
To determine whether you need surgery to lengthen or thicken the penis, you should consult a specialized doctor. You must undergo an examination and inform the doctor of your problem, as well as the desired result.
Penis lengthening
Ligamentotomy (penis enlargement) is a surgical operation during which the ligamentous apparatus that holds the penis in the perineum is cut, 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 number of analyzes (urine and blood tests, tests for hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, ECG), and consult an anesthesiologist (the operation is carried out under anesthesiaGenerally, it lasts about an hour). ). After the operation, it is necessary to wear an extender for 2-3 months (a special device that allows not only to consolidate the result of the operation, but also prevents the formation of adhesions, promotes physiological growth of membranes andtissues of the penis). It is also necessary to scrupulously respect the rules of personal hygiene and observe certain precautions (limiting physical activity, sexual abstinence, etc. ).
Penis thickening
Lipofilling (penis thickening) is an injection of fatty tissue into the penis in order to increase its diameter and give it the desired shape. Adipose tissue removed from areas of excessive deposition (abdomen, buttocks, etc. ) by liposuction must belong directly to the patient. This helps prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions observed when a foreign implant is introduced. Adipose tissue is injected into micro-punctures of the penis, then a surgical patch is applied and a bandage is applied over the top. The main requirement of the postoperative period is abstinence from sexual intercourse. The disadvantage of this method is that the transplanted adipose tissues tend to dissolve due to the fact that they are deprived of the vessels which nourished them. As a result, tissues may dissolve unevenly, leading to deformity 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 are enough for healing; in others, recovery takes about six months. It all depends on individual indicators and how quickly the implants take root. Resumption of sexual activity after penis 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 subject, 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 expander for 2-3 months until complete healing. It will not bring discomfort in everyday life, but 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 should be noted that wearing an extension cord will not affect potency or reproductive 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 penis enlargement surgery, it is worth taking tests to check this possibility. It would not be superfluous to pay attention to this before the operation in order to be able to compare the results before and after in this direction.
What negative consequences are possible after the operation?
In many respects, the quality of the operation depends on the experience of the urological surgeon, as well as the quality of the materials he uses. In addition, there may be individual contraindications to 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 clotting disorders, diabetes mellitus, cancer, etc. Acute infectious diseases during the operation can also negatively affect the result of the procedure, so be sure to inform your urologist about this.
