Penis enlargement surgery: characteristics and consequences of ligamentotomy

An increase in the length or width of the penis can affect a man's psycho-emotional health. A small penis often provokes the ridicule of the beautiful half of humanity, and is also capable of causing neurotic states and serious mental illness in most patients. One of the effective methods to change the size of the virility is the ligamentotomy, an operation to enlarge the penis.

What are the methods of penis enlargement?

There are many fictitious rumors and legends surrounding the male penis, but it must be understood that from a physiological point of view, the normal length of the penis falls within the 12-18 cm frame when erect.

Effective penis enlargement is possible not only through surgery, but also through various methods that do not require surgical intervention on the man's body. These include:

  • The use of vacuum pumps promotes significant blood flow to the man's penis. After achieving a stable erection, the penis is squeezed at the base by all kinds of devices, for example, latex rings. This technique prevents the exit of blood from the corpora cavernosa of the penis and its length increases several centimeters compared to a normal physiological erection without various aids. However, it should be remembered that the use of vacuum pumps is not a therapeutic method, but is based on the physiological characteristics of the male body. After stopping using vacuum devices, the penis instantly becomes its usual size. Note that the disadvantage of using pumps can be the swelling of the organ, the presence of bruises due to the rupture of blood vessels and the impaired erectile capacity of the penis.
  • The use of all kinds of "special" weights, devices and exercises aimed at increasing the penis is nothing more than advertising campaigns by dubious manufacturers that produce "effective" devices that guarantee instant results. Male genitalia cannot be pumped or stretched with weights or dumbbells. Its use can damage the organ or cause the ligaments that hold the penis to tear. "Pulling" of the penis can only be performed after surgical treatment under the supervision of a treatment specialist using special extenders (combined method of enlargement). These devices can be used without surgery. Its effectiveness is quite high.

Advice:To avoid wasting money and disappointment later, you shouldn't buy all kinds of topical creams and other "healing" medications designed to enlarge the penis in volume. They have no therapeutic burden and are completely ineffective.

Ligamentotomy

by how many centimeters can you increase the penis

Ligamentotomy can be justified if the length of the penis does not exceed 10 cm in the erect state.

This operation aims to increase the male genital organ through transection and subsequent fixation of the pelvic ligament, which is responsible for holding the penis. Thanks to this method, doctors manage to free about 3-5 cm of the inner part of the penis. Previously, similar surgical techniques were performed with circumcision of the foreskin of the penis in men. Modern methods allow you to avoid this and preserve it with a parallel increase in the genital organ.

Ligamentotomy is considered a simple operation (not as difficult as amputation of the penis) and takes about half an hour. It should be noted that with an increase in the genital organ, an operation on the testicles in men can be performed in parallel (for example, if pathologies are found, an operation on a varicocele may be prescribed), however, the expediency of suchan intervention can only be determined by the treating physician. After penile plastic surgery, the patient can stay in the urology department hospital for about a day. After a period of two weeks after the ligamentotomy, the stitches are removed.

Advice:To avoid divergence of surgical sutures on the penis, it is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse after ligamentotomy for up to 3 weeks.

Is it possible to increase the thickness of the penis?

For 4-5 weeks it is necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse so as not to damage the penis.

An increase in the thickness of the male genital organ is possible. For this, a low-traumatic operation is carried out: a puncture of the skin of the penis is made with a special tool to inject the patient's own fatty tissue or a special gel. After it is done, a protective bandage is applied to the penis.

Note that this operation can lead to the localization of adipose tissue in a certain place on the penis, which leads to its irregularities and tuberosity of the organ. To avoid complications and inflammation of the tissues, various polymer phalloprostheses are used to increase the thickness of the penis, providing an aesthetic appearance of the organ and not affecting the deterioration of the quality of its functionality.

Postoperative characteristics.

The most effective way to lengthen the penis is considered to be a combined technique, which involves the use of an extender after surgery and the use of jelqing (performing special massages so that the genital organ changes its length). Consider the characteristics of these methods:

  • Wearing an extender after surgery can significantly enhance the effect of organ enlargement. In addition, this device helps to correct its curvature and restore the correct anatomical position. The younger the patient, the more noticeable the effect of using the combined method.
  • As for jelqing, this massage technique should be performed after the operative lengthening of the organ for 2-3 months every day for at least 1 hour a day. Massage manipulations on the penis are performed by the patient with his hands in an erect state of the organ and consist of stretching it. With jelqing, there is an increased supply of blood to the penis and its size increases.

Before deciding on a step as cardinal as an increase in penis volume through surgery, one must think about the fact that, despite its effectiveness, no specialist will be able to predict the final result. Possible postoperative complications include scarring of the penile tissues and infection. In addition, there is often a decrease in the sensitivity of the organ, it is possible to change the position of the penis during erection, as its initial anatomical position is disturbed and even the development of impotence (extremely rare).

No more than a third of all patients are satisfied with the result of surgical enlargement of the male genital organ. As practice shows, an organ can be lengthened by an amount of 1 to 4 cm. No practicing surgeon can give precise guarantees.
