There are two types of penis enlargement surgery: some add length, others add girth. Consider each type for suitability, effectiveness and harm to the patient's body. Particular attention is paid to the recovery period in the article, because the consolidation of the results of surgical intervention depends on the recovery.
Lengthening, ligamentotomy
Operation to increase the length of the penis - ligamentotomy. The suspensory ligament is transected, after which the penis must be stretched down during the recovery period, otherwise the ligament may fuse in its original position. The penis is kept taut with an elastic band stretcher. As a result, the angle between the penis and the uterus opens (increases). Also, the inside of the penis is pulled out a little, and it is rooted in a new position.
If you follow the recommendations during the recovery period, you can get a penis lengthening from 1 to 2 cm. If without surgery it is guaranteed to reach an increase of up to 3 cm, which is confirmed by the results of international studies, then with surgery it will be up to 4-5 cm, but withcertain risks.
Guidance
The main indication is the patient's desire to improve aesthetic performance.
Estimated feasibility:
- with an erection length of up to 10-12 cm - there are medical indications,
- at 12-15 - carried out at the request of the patient,
- more than 16 - it makes no sense.
Analyze
Before surgery, only a testosterone test is usually needed. The rest of the necessary studies will be carried out in the clinic immediately before the surgery. However, please check with your surgeon. Talk to the doctor. Therefore, you will understand how efficient and sufficient the specialist is. If you can't get complete information from him, the person already refuses to communicate, think about what will happen in the event of some kind of complication - you have to solve your own problems.
Contraindications
Contraindications are:
- skin diseases in the operation area,
- diseases of the genitourinary system,
- urological diseases,
- inflammation of the urethra and other similar problems.
Also, most likely, you need to undergo a psychological consultation: if abnormalities are detected, they may be contraindicated.
Operation cost
Inspections and bandages are free.

Types of ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is performed either through genital or scrotal access. The ligament is cut through an incision.
Genital access is an outdated method of operation, after which a fairly noticeable scar remains. This operation takes longer, which increases the risk of infection and prolongs the patient's stay under anesthesia.
A more recent technique is ligamentotomy through scrotal access: an incision is made in the scrotum, through which access to the ligament is opened. Ligamentotomy through scrotal access reduces operative time from 1-1. 5 hours (standard ligamentotomy) to 20-30 minutes. The scar on the scrotum is almost invisible. The less tissue is damaged, the shorter the recovery period.
A side effect of ligamentotomy is a change in the angle of erection. An erect penis will not be directed forward and upward, but forward and downward. The operation should not affect the level of erection.
Restoration
In ligamentotomy, the recovery period is very important. Cruciate supporting ligaments. To prevent the ligament from joining in its original position, the penis must be stretched downward during the recovery period. For this, a stretcher is used - a stretcher based on an elastic belt. As a result, the angle between the penis and the uterus opens (increases). Also, the inside of the penis is pulled out a little, after which it is rooted in a new position. If you do not fix the penis in the right position, it will gradually retract and take its original place.
The stretcher is worn for several hours a day at maximum traction. The device will not put pressure on the seams, it is compact, invisible under clothes, you can wear it outdoors. You can start using it in the early postoperative period, which helps to eliminate differences in stitches and scar formation.
The results of the operation are improved and improved over several months. But the first or second week will be critical. If the patient fails to use the stretcher in these first days, then the ligamentotomy will be useless.
After the operation, pressure and pain are possible. If you do not get used to stretchers and extenders in advance, do not choose an easy option to wear the device, do not adapt to wearing it, then it will be very problematic to experiment after the operation. Patients often refuse to wear the device because of this or wear it for an insufficient amount of time.
The stretcher should be worn for the first 3 weeks, then gradually add the extender, as you feel. The use of extenders after surgery improves the results. After the ligamentotomy, the extensor stretches both the outer and inner parts of the penis. At this time, you can have sex. Your doctor should be more specific about these and other precautions after surgery.
Often you can hear complaints that the operation does not work. This is only the case when the patient does not follow the above recommendations.
Ask the surgeon what type of rehabilitation program he has planned. If there is no stretcher after the operation, it is better to refuse it.
Which extender should be chosen for ligamentotomy
Extenders are an alternative to surgery. Without using a scalpel, it is possible to increase the length of the organ up to 3-4 cm. But in this article, we will consider the extender as a method used in postoperative therapy. A cheap device from a sex shop will not work for this purpose. It must meet several requirements:
- Comes with an elastic strap.
- The extension should be comfortable so that it can be left for 1. 5-2 hours in a row.
An extension cord from a German manufacturer is ideal. The set includes an elastic stretcher belt to wear after surgery. The attachment of the extender to the penis is a vacuum adhesive. This type of fixation is the most comfortable of the existing ones and allows you to wear an extender or stretcher for up to 3 hours in a row. A long wearing period is necessary for the penis to settle into a new position.
After the penile engraftment period, you can continue to wear the extender, getting additional results due to penile growth. Therefore, if you are thinking about surgery, start training with extenders before then.
This is the only extender where the attachment does not come into contact with the hard part of the penis. It has several modifications: extenders on bars, on elastic belts, stretchers, and with weights - hangers.
Increased thickness
Increasing the thickness of the penis is not easy. Unlike ligamentotomy, thickening operations are complex and may come with side effects.
One of the most popular is the transfer of a patient's fat flap under the skin of the penis. At the same time, the number increased by 1-1. 5 cm. But there is always a risk of rejection of adipose tissue, even if it is your own tissue. In addition, fat will be gradually and, most importantly, unevenly absorbed. Therefore, tuberosity may appear on the surface of the organ.
Transplanting a section of muscle tissue under the skin of the penis, where the shaft wraps around the muscle flap, is another method. Muscle transfer to the penis is a complicated and expensive manipulation, and threatens with complications, even if done perfectly. Necrosis and ischemia of the muscle flap are complications that occur in some cases. Then, to save the patient's life, the flap is immediately removed. The muscle part for transplantation is taken from the back. Many doctors believe that this is detrimental to posture, because the muscles support the bones, and the graft site is not compensated by anything.
The third popular method is the introduction of hyaluronic acid under the skin of the penis. This is a special gel that can give body thickness. The gel is injected quickly. The cost of this operation is low compared to other surgical methods. Usually done by a cosmetologist. After a year, the acid disappears, and the procedure must be repeated. Often, the injected gel is collected in small chunks and packaged. The seal is felt on the penis, the relief of the skin becomes uneven.
All three types of surgery can give more or less the same side effects: weakening of the erection, decreased sensitivity of the head, curvature of the penis. In addition, after any intervention, the organ may retain an unusually swollen appearance for a very long time.
Any operation is a risk. There are fewer and fewer risky interventions. Ligamentotomy is relatively safe and effective when used with an extender. Thickening operations are more dangerous and usually have temporary effects.
It's never too late to go under the scalpel. Try non-surgical penis enlargement methods.
