There are two types of penis enlargement surgeries: some increase length and others increase thickness. Consider each type for suitability, effectiveness and danger to the patient's body. The article pays special attention to the rehabilitation period, because consolidation of the results of surgical intervention depends on rehabilitation.
Extension, ligamentotomy
Operations to increase the length of the penis - ligamentotomy. The suspensory ligament is cut, after which the penis must be kept in an extended position during the rehabilitation period, otherwise the ligament may dissolve in its original position. The penis is kept stretched by an elastic stretcher. As a result, the angle between the penis and the uterus opens (increases). Also, the inside of the genital organ is stretched a little and it takes root in the new position.
If you follow the recommendations during the rehabilitation period, you can get an extension of the penis from 1 cm to 2 cm. It is guaranteed to achieve growth of up to 3 cm without surgery, which is confirmed by the results of an international study. , then with surgery it will be up to 4-5 cm, but with certain risks.
Indications
The main indicator is the patient's desire to improve aesthetic performance.
Estimated feasibility:
- erection length up to 10-12 cm - there are medical indications,
- at 12-15 - carried out at the request of the patient,
- More than 16 - it doesn't make much sense.
Analyzes
Only a testosterone test is usually required before surgery. The remaining necessary studies will be carried out in the clinic immediately before the operation. However, check with your surgeon. Talk to the doctor. Thus, you will understand how competent and adequate the specialist is. If you cannot get full information from him, the person is already reluctant to communicate, think about what will happen in case of some kind of complication - you will have to solve the problems yourself.
Contraindications
Contraindications are:
- skin diseases in the operative field,
- diseases of the genitourinary system,
- urological diseases,
- inflammation of the urethra and other similar problems.
Also, most likely, you will have to undergo a psychological consultation: if abnormalities are detected, there may be a contraindication.
Operating cost
Viewing and dressing are free.

Types of ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is performed through either pubic or scrotal access. The ligament is cut through the incision.
Public access is an outdated method of operation, after which a very noticeable scar is left. 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 over the scrotum through which access to the ligament is opened. Ligamentotomy through scrotal access reduces the operating time from 1-1. 5 hours (standard ligamentotomy) to 20-30 minutes. The scar on the scrotum is almost invisible. Less tissue is damaged, the rehabilitation period is shorter.
A side effect of ligamentotomy is a change in the angle of erection. An erect penis will point forward and down, not forward and up. The operation should not affect the level of erection.
Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation period in ligamentotomy is extremely important. The supporting ligament is cruciate. The penis should be kept in an extended position during the rehabilitation period to prevent the ligament from joining in its original position. A stretcher is used for this - a stretcher based on an elastic belt. As a result, the angle between the penis and the uterus opens (increases). Also, the inner part of the penis is slightly stretched, after which it takes root in a new position. If you do not fix the penis in the right position, it will gradually retract and take its original position.
The stretcher is worn for several hours a day with maximum traction. The device will not put pressure on the seam, it is compact, it is not visible under the clothes, you can wear it outside the house. You can start using it in the early postoperative period, it helps to eliminate the difference of stitches and the formation of scars.
The result of the operation is fixed and improved within several months. But the first or second week will be critical. If the patient cannot apply the stretcher in these first days, the ligamentotomy will be pointless.
Stress and pain are possible after surgery. If you are not familiar with the stretcher and expander in advance, if you do not choose a convenient option for wearing the devices, if you do not adapt to wearing them, it will be quite problematic to practice after the operation. Patients often refuse to wear the devices for this reason or wear them for insufficient time.
The stretcher should be worn for the first 3 weeks, then gradually integrate the expander, following your sensations. Wearing an expander after surgery improves the result. After ligamentotomy, the expander lengthens both the external and internal parts of the penis. At this time, you can already have sex. Your doctor should provide more specific information about these and other precautions after surgery.
You can often hear complaints that the operation did not work. These are only cases where the patient does not follow the above recommendations.
Ask the surgeon what rehabilitation program he has planned. If the stretcher is not worn after the operation, it is better to abandon it.
Which expander to choose for ligamentotomy
It is an alternative to expanding surgery. It is possible to increase the length of the organ up to 3-4 cm without resorting to a scalpel. 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 these purposes. It must meet a number of requirements:
- Comes with an elastic stretcher strap.
- The expander should be comfortable to stay for 1, 5-2 hours in a row.
The expander of the German manufacturer is ideal. The kit includes an elastic stretcher strap for wearing after surgery. The attachment of the expander to the penis is vacuum-glued. This type of fixation is the most comfortable among those available and allows you to wear a stretcher or stretcher for up to 3 consecutive hours. It takes a long time 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 the growth of the penis. Therefore, if you are thinking about surgery, start practicing with the expander before that.
This is the only extender where the attachment does not come into contact with the hard parts of the penis. It has several modifications: an extension on the rods, an elastic belt, a stretcher and weights - a hanger.
Increase in thickness
Increasing the thickness of the penis is not easy. Unlike ligamentotomy, thickening operations are complicated and may have side effects.
One of the most popular is the transplantation of fat flap under the skin of the patient's penis. At the same time, the volume increases by 1-1. 5 cm. But even if you have your own tissue, there is always a risk of adipose tissue rejection. In addition, fat will be absorbed gradually and, most importantly, unevenly. Therefore, tuberose can be seen on the surface of the organ.
Another method is to transfer part of the muscle tissue under the skin of the penis, wrapping the shaft around the muscle cap. Transplantation of the muscle to the penis is a complex and expensive manipulation, and even if performed flawlessly, it threatens with complications. Necrosis and ischemia of the muscle flap are complications that occur in a number of cases. Then the valve is urgently removed to save the patient's life. For transplantation, the muscle part is taken from the back. Many doctors believe that this is harmful to the posture, because the muscles support the bones, and the transplant site is not compensated by anything.
The third popular method is the injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin of the penis. This is a special gel that can give body thickness. The gel is quickly absorbed. The cost of this operation is low compared to other surgical methods. It is most often performed by a cosmetologist. After a year, the acid dissolves and the procedure must be repeated. Often the injected gel is packed into small pieces and encapsulated. Seals are felt on the penis, skin relief is uneven.
All three types of surgery can cause almost the same side effects: weakening of the erection, decreased sensitivity of the head, curvature of the penis. In addition, after any intervention, the body can retain an unnaturally swollen appearance for a very long time.
Any operation is a risk. There are fewer and more risky interventions. Ligamentotomy is relatively safe and effective when worn with an expander. Solidification operations are more dangerous and usually have a temporary effect.
It's never too late to go under the scalpel. Try non-surgical penis enlargement methods.
