The penis is traditionally regarded as a symbol of male power, so its size has always been a concern for men. Many of them still believe that a large penis is the main sign of sex and superiority. Under normal circumstances, the length of the penis at rest is 7-13 cm, and the length when erect is up to 12-20 cm. If the size of the penis is less than 12 cm, it is considered a small penis, if the length is less than 2-3 cm, it is a small penis.
Insufficient penis length usually leads to a decrease in male self-esteem, and in some cases, it can also lead to serious problems in intimate life (up to the complete inability to have sexual intercourse).
In order to solve this thorny problem, the surgeon recommends ligamentotomy-an operation to increase the length of the penis.
The increase in penis length includes two stages:
- Stage 1-Surgery (Ligamentotomy). During the operation, the urologist dissects the supporting ligaments of the penis.
- Phase 2-Use the extender for at least 2-3 hours a day for 4-6 months.
Indications
Normally, a small penis does not impair function, nor does it cause infertility. In this case, penis enlargement surgery is performed entirely according to the requirements of men and aesthetic reasons. If the organ is abnormal (for example, a small penis), a ligamentotomy is performed for medical reasons.
Contraindications
Penis extension surgery, like any surgical operation, has many contraindications: bleeding disorders, cancer, diabetes, internal infections and inflammatory processes.
The possibility of surgical intervention is determined by the doctor based on the results of the preoperative examination.
Preparation for ligamentotomy
In order to exclude surgical contraindications, it is necessary to carry out pre-operative preparations (maybe at us or any place that is convenient for the patient):
- Clinical blood test;
- General urinalysis;
- 4 mandatory tests (syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C);
- Biochemical blood test (glucose, AST, ALT, creatinine, total bilirubin);
- Coagulation Chart No. 1;
- Electrocardiogram (before intravenous anesthesia for patients over 45 years of age or chronic heart disease).
In some cases, you may also need the conclusion of a professional expert (for example, an endocrinologist, if you suspect diabetes).
The process of surgical intervention
The operation can be performed under local anesthesia or intravenous combined anesthesia. The second option is more commonly used to rule out unpleasant sensations during ligamentotomy.
The essence of the operation is to redistribute the length of the penis in the direction of increasing the overhanging part by dissecting the ligaments, thereby extending the penis.
During the operation, the surgeon dissects the penis's dangling (supporting) ligaments, whose function is to fix part of the penis in the body. Surgery can be performed by scrotal or pubic method. The duration of all phases of the surgery is usually 30 to 60 minutes.
Operation result
Due to the ligament incision, the length of the penis dangling part is increased by 3-5 cm. The final result depends on the anatomical characteristics of the patient's body structure (the size of the latent part of the penis) and physiological characteristics (the ductility and elasticity of the tissue). In order to get the maximum effect after the operation, it is necessary to wear the extender every day for 4-6 months, 2-3 hours a day.
Characteristics of the rehabilitation period
Penis extension surgery is a minimally invasive surgery. After the operation, the patient needs to be under the supervision of medical staff for several hours before leaving the clinic on his own.
Before leaving the hospital, the urologist will give all necessary advice, including wearing an extension device to improve the outcome of the operation, as well as genital care, dressing and follow-up. The recovery period after ligament amputation is only 2-3 weeks. After this period of time, the wound was completely healed and the sutures were completely invisible after the operation.
The most common questions in plastic surgery for penis enlargement surgery:
How much does the length of the penis increase after ligamentectomy?
The final result of the operation directly depends on the person's anatomical and physiological characteristics. After the operation, wear an extender every day (2-3 hours a day), and the length of the penis will increase by an average of 3-5 cm in the state of rest and sexual arousal.
How long can I not have sex after the operation?
Due to tissue trauma, sexual intercourse may be painful for several days. The wound is completely healed after 2-3 weeks, after which the man can resume sexual life.
Will there be reproductive problems after ligament incision?
After the operation, there are no side effects in the form of impaired efficacy or male reproductive function, because the surgeon does not affect the anatomy responsible for erection during ligamentotomy.
How much does a ligament incision cost?
The cost of ligamentotomy varies from clinic to clinic and depends on various factors.
The total cost of penis enlargement includes:
- Initial consultation with a urologist;
- Preoperative analysis;
- Surgery-ligament incision;
- Anesthesia (local anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia);
- Extenders (Patients should buy them by themselves and consider the recommendations of the urologist).
- See a urologist after surgery (2-3 times).
The final cost of penis enlargement surgery can only be informed by the doctor after consultation and examination.
