Penis thickening - methods, indications and benefits of penis enlargement surgery

The first problems with the size and thickening of the penis arose in ancient phallic cults. Thus, in the sculptures and crafts of the ancient Hindus, the male gender with rather long genitals predominated.

On the island of Corsica, phallic monuments from the Bronze Age with a length of 15 to 25 centimeters were found. At the moment, there is a fairly large increase in interest in surgical interventions that can increase and thicken the size of the male reproductive organ.

Basically, people with rather small genitals who are not satisfied with the quality of their life in a sexual sense come to us on such an issue as thickening of the genital organ.

Types of operations

With the help of plastic surgery, it is possible to increase the length and width of the penis. Often men resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques aimed at changing the size of the penis:

• Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and safe, but it is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the incision of the suspensory ligament (from ligamentum suspensorium penis - suspensory ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and subsequent wearing of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6 cm. After ligamentotomy, our clinic may recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and straighten the shape of the penis.
• Fat grafting is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by introducing the patient’s fat tissue under the skin of the genital organ. With the help of surgery, the penis can be enlarged by approximately 1 cm in diameter. It does not require long-term recovery, but its effect is short-lived.
• Muscle tissue transplantation is a complex surgical procedure, the purpose of which is to increase the diameter of the penis. Tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia is used for transplantation. The flap is placed on the genital organ and the vessels are sutured. As a result, the diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
• Penile prosthetics is carried out exclusively for strict indications, including not only insufficient penis size, but also its dysfunction. Cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used for the prosthesis.

When there is a size problem

People can escape from the complex by undergoing microsurgical thickening of the genital organ. Thanks to this, it becomes clear that the main motive for a person to enlarge the sexual organ is considered to be the desire to correspond to the symbol of sexuality and masculinity.

This symbol has been formed since historical times and has recently become a cult among the media. Also, an equally important reason is that a large penis is an additional reason for visual erogenous stimulation. A parallel can also be drawn with breast sizes, to increase which endoprostheses are widely implanted.

Because as stated above, it becomes clear that there are no clear medical indications for surgical intervention to increase the size of the penis, and they are not conditional. The only reason for people without mental disorders is their persistent desire to change the size of the genital organ.

Thickening of the organ is possible due to:

• Use of gels;
• Using synthetic implants;
• Microsurgical autotransplantation of human tissues;
• Corporotomy with replacement aplotransplantation and autotransplantation;
• Using a de-epidermalized free flap of skin-adipose tissue;
• Using rotated pedicle flaps;
• Introduction of free auto fat under the skin.

Recovery

The rehabilitation period after ligamentotomy is relatively short: after the operation, the patient will have to stay in the hospital for about 2 days. After discharge, you will need to come back regularly for examination and dressing changes. After 2-3 weeks, the seam becomes almost invisible. You will have to wear the extender for at least 6 months.

Penile prosthetics will require a longer and more serious recovery period. Its duration depends on the man’s body.

The recovery period after muscle transplantation will take at least 5 weeks.

Small penis size is a very delicate problem that prevents a man from leading a normal life. Medical specialists have the necessary qualifications to perform penis enlargement surgery. To learn more about phalloplasty, schedule a consultation with a surgeon.

Possible complications and contraindications

Lipofilling of the penis is an operation and therefore, when agreeing to the procedure, you need to know that unpleasant consequences may appear after it:

• formation of lumps of fat under the skin of the penis;
• inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin area;
• swelling of the genitals, legs;
• genital suppuration (purulent accumulations under the skin of the groin, penis);
• fibrosis (scarring of cavernous tissue);
• pain when urinating.

Complications of lipofilling
In some cases, all side effects of lipofilling go away on their own within 2-3 days, but often the patient cannot do without the help of a surgeon. The doctor will examine the genital organ and decide how to deal with the consequences of the operation. In this case, there are only two options:

• drug treatment;
• repeat surgery to correct the results obtained.

Important! To avoid any complications, you need to be responsible when choosing a clinic where the procedure will be performed. You should not give preference to cheap, dubious establishments. Saving in this case can result in serious health problems, including complete loss of potency.

Contraindications

Lipomodeling of the penis has a number of prohibitions. These include:

• diabetes mellitus type l, ll, lll;
• diseases of blood vessels or arteries (mainly atherosclerosis and varicose veins)
• congenital or acquired deformity of the penis;
• urinary tract infections;
• sexually transmitted diseases of any complexity;
• oncology and purulent rashes on the surface of the phallus;
• mental illness;
• weakened immunity.

Some contraindications to the procedure are relative, but most of them are an absolute prohibition. Therefore, before lipofilling, you need to undergo an examination and cure any detected pathologies.

Popular questions about phalloplasty

Where is the incision made for ligamentotomy?

Access to the operated area can be realized either in the pubic area or along the midline of the scrotum. The latter method is less traumatic and does not leave scars. The pubic method of access is used if maximum release of the part of the penis hidden in the body is necessary.

Will dressings be required after ligamentotomy?

Yes, the first dressing will be done on the day of discharge (the day after the operation). Subsequent ones are in accordance with the surgeon’s recommendations.

Is it necessary to wear an extender after ligamentotomy?

It is not necessary to wear an extender, but its use gives better results. The decision to use the device is made by the doctor on an individual basis.

Is wearing an extender harmful?

No, if the rules of use are followed: wear no longer than 3 hours in a row, do not squeeze the fabric. Before use, you should definitely consult your doctor.

Effect of facial lipofilling

Lipofilling allows you to get rid of deep wrinkles and folds on the face. Pronounced tear troughs and retracted scars can also be corrected with lipofilling. The natural correct contour of the face returns, the skin is smoothed. You can also slightly enlarge your chin and add volume to your cheeks and cheekbones. The effect of the procedure is long lasting.

Let's consider several areas on the face where the lipofilling procedure is most often performed:

• Lipofilling of temples. The fat layer in this area disappears primarily due to age-related changes. After the lipofilling procedure of the temples, the eyebrows are raised and the skin in the corners of the eyes is smoothed.
• Lipofilling of the cheeks and cheekbones. Sunken cheeks return to their natural volume. The results last a lifetime.
• Lipofilling of the upper and lower eyelids. Due to the decrease in fat layer, the folds of the upper eyelids and tear troughs deepen. Lipofilling of the upper and lower eyelids restores lost volume and smoothes out wrinkles.
• Lipofilling of nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds and wrinkles smooth out and become less noticeable.
• Chin lipofilling. The subcutaneous fat layer of the chin is restored, the skin becomes more elastic.

Hello. Tell me, how much does it cost to increase the diameter of the trunk using a flap? Age restrictions?

Reviews

Evgeniy, 36 years old: “Almost my entire adult life I had a complex about the modest size of my penis, and in the end I decided to get fillers. Both the barrel itself and the head were chipped. Despite the anesthesia, discomfort was present, but quickly passed. He started having sex within a month. As a result of the operation, the penis became 2 cm thicker and 0.5 cm longer, and sexual intercourse almost doubled without loss of pleasure from the process.”

Dmitry, 29 years old: “Due to premature ejaculation, I decided to have the head injected with hyaluronic acid and did not regret it: sexual intercourse lasts 20-30 minutes, and the head itself has become clearly thicker. The effect lasted not for a year, as the doctor promised, but for two.”

Preparation for the procedure

Lipofilling is a technique of intimate plastic surgery. First, you need to get an appointment with an appropriate medical specialist who will decide whether you should undergo this operation, and will also tell you about the possible results after lipofilling and correlate them with your desires. During the examination, the surgeon will also be able to determine the areas where your fat tissue will be harvested and will tell you whether there will be enough of it for the procedure to be successful.

If the decision to undergo surgery is positive, you will need to follow a number of medical recommendations:

• Two weeks before the procedure, if possible, you should stop drinking alcohol and smoking. It is recommended to spend this period in a state of rest and absence of stress; • During the same two weeks, you should not take blood thinning medications, for example, aspirin, citramon, paracetamol and other substances containing acetylsalicylic acid; • For the same reason, you should not use dietary supplements containing ginkgo biloba plant extract and vitamin E for two weeks; • As prescribed by a medical specialist, the day before surgery it is possible to take a sedative; • Before the operation itself, you must also undergo a series of tests that the doctor will prescribe. These include general blood and urine tests, as well as tests for HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis.

On the eve of the procedure, it is advisable to:

• Take a shower and wash your hair, since it will be problematic to do this immediately after the operation;
• Surgery is performed on an empty stomach; Accordingly, 6-8 hours before the procedure you must not eat or drink.

You will learn more about these and other recommendations at an appointment with a medical specialist.

results

After completion of the operation, the patient is prohibited from moving sharply for about 4-6 days, so as not to damage the sutures. Sometimes a strict pastel regime may be required for three days, which will take place with a boat and a dropper. It will be possible to occupy a sitting position only after the doctor's permission. In terms of duration, the rehabilitation period after intimate surgery lasts no more than two weeks. At this time, difficulties with erection arise. But this is a completely expected reaction of the body, which will disappear completely after two months. There may also be difficulty urinating due to scarring of the stitches. This phenomenon disappears after 7-9 days. It is important to carefully care for the suture area throughout the entire recovery period of the penis.

What is the result and how long does it last?

Don’t believe those who promise to admire your growing girth for life. The safety of the result depends on the characteristics of each organism . The fact is that fat cells love to dissolve, since they initially open from blood vessels and do not receive nutrition.

For some men the process is rapid, for others it is barely noticeable. Dispersion occurs especially clearly in those who are sexually active. As a result, there is a reduction in the achieved volume, which requires correction and costs.
