More than 11 thousand operations to increase the penis are made annually in the world, and their number is constantly growing. Surgical intervention itself lasts no more than half an hour, and after three weeks a man can begin an active sex life. Most of the operations take place in Thailand - the world leader in plastic surgery. In this text - a story about how an operation to increase the penis occurs
Plastic surgery around the world is more psychotherapy than a solution to real problems. This is also true in relation to the operations to increase the penis. Many men believe that their penis is less than it should be, while the doctors are sure: most are underestimating their size. Why is this happening? Paradoxically, the idea that the penis is too small is often formed in childhood, when a mental comparison with a father or older brother can naturally discourage.
It is believed that men often have a false idea of the size of their own genital organs, since they are incorrectly measured or evaluate them. The penis may look shorter if you look from above. To adequately assess the size, it is better to undress in front of the mirror in which you can see your reflection in full growth. According to a study, the participation of more than 15 thousand people took the participation, the average size of an erect penis is about 13 centimeters. Medium -sized boundaries range from 11 to 18 centimeters. Doctors diagnose a small penis if its size is less than eight centimeters in an erect state.
How is the patient solved for surgery?
A fairly large range of questions can push a man for an operation: unsuccessful sexual experience, internal beliefs, incorrect information in open sources on the Internet. Plastic surgeon, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Plastic Surgery.
"Now the age of the Internet: people look at the pictures, not really delving into where they came from and how much they correspond to reality. Most often, it is with pictures from the Internet that people come to surgeons, showing that they want "exactly as it is depicted here".
Imagine if you are constantly coming to the spam-mailing "Iron Erections and a hundred more fantastic ways to increase the member". Here, even a normal sensible person begins to think: maybe something is wrong with him, if he constantly receives letters "You need to do this! "I often recall the film "Man from Kapucin Boulevard", when following a certain culture completely changes the behavior of people. First, they throw a hooligan, drink milk and behave like gentlemen. And then, having seen enough other films, they begin to arrange lawlessness, drunkenness and shooting. And here the same thing: society affects people, and specific people, films, cultural patterns give rise to some ideas.
In general, male patients who want to increase the penis are no different from other patients of plastic surgery-for example, from women who want to correct the size or shape of the chest or make intimate plastic, fix the shape of the ears or nose. "
Is it possible to do without surgery?
There are many procedures and means that, according to manufacturers, are able to increase the length and diameter of the penis: lotions, dietary supplements, exercises, vacuum pumps, and injections of polymer gels. But most of these funds have not proved their effectiveness, in addition, the use of some of them can actually lead to damage to the penis. If it seems to you that additional funds are needed, it is better to consult a specialist doctor: a urologist, andrologist or plastic surgeon, to discuss whether this or that method should be used.
There are tablets and lotions. They usually contain vitamins, minerals, herbs and hormonal drugs. However, there are no studies that confirm that at least one of this works.
There are vacuum pumps that are usually used to treat erectile dysfunction. They are able only to visually increase the size, but too frequent or long use can lead to damage to tissues and worsen the quality of the erection.
There are exercises that have developed over the centuries for some peoples: Jelly’s method has been used from 9-11 years of age of Sudanese boys. The movements are simple: with your hand you need to make movements from the base of the penis to the head, restraining ejaculation. It sounds quite safe, but in fact it can cause pain, lead to the formation of scars and change the shape of the genitals.
There are also injections, but the risks are very high here, and the effectiveness is doubtful. The introduction of polymer, polyacrylamide gels under the skin of the penis can lead to almost disability, doctors warn. The polymer does not hold on-under the influence of gravity, due to physical exertion, the gel migrates, often causes inflammation, this can follow the infection even up to the necrosis of tissues with the complete or partial loss of the penis.
There is a way to increase the penis with lipofilling, when adipose tissue is administered through punctures under the skin. However, the effect is visible only immediately after the procedure, then the fat is absorbed (and often unevenly), turning into seals and irregularities. The consequences are corrected already in the operating room.
There is only one non -surgical method of increasing the penis that showed its effectiveness - a long -term wearing of the extender. These are two rods with adjustable length, which are installed between the head and the base of the penis. The rods need to be very gradually extended, stretching, stretching the penis-it turns out something like the Ilizarov apparatus, only without knitting needles. The extender will have to be worn for a long time, the result of wearing will increase the length of the penis by a couple of centimeters.
Does the size have a value?
From the point of view of physiology - no. But sex is not a mechanical grinding of two partners, this is a whole complex of human experiences. There plays a role and self -confidence, and the desire to make his partner happy, and sexual habits, and much more.
"The point is that the scatter in the" norm "is large enough. 11 or 18 centimeters is still a significant difference, says the plastic surgeon. - The size matters in the sense that much depends on the partner, its adaptation, sexual experience. And we are not talking about what size the penis had the previous man of your partner, as well as in her reactions and expectations. In women, receptors can concentrate in different areas of the genitals: in the clitoris, entrance to the vagina, its front surface or somewhere next to the cervix. The diameter of the penis matters if the receptors are concentrated at the entrance or along the walls of the vagina, the length is if there is a cervix. And this means that the skill of a man, position, understanding between partners are important as the size. There is no universal penis with which any woman can be satisfied. "
How does the operation work?
"Usually a man comes and says: " Doctor, I want me to have a big one. "Then we talk, discuss everything in detail, we must talk about sexual needs. It happens that they are conceived about the operation because of the impossibility of implementing their dreams or sexual fantasies: for example, having sex with a woman of outstanding forms, "the doctor says.
It is very important, as with other plastic operations, to adequately evaluate whether surgical intervention will help to achieve a specific goal. Each doctor will try to avoid surgery if he sees that the patient’s expectations do not correspond to the real possibilities of surgery or that the actions of the doctor will be ineffective, the specialist believes.
Using the operation, you can increase both the length and diameter of the penis.
With the length, the easiest way. This operation is in the scientific called ligamentotomy, and it means a dissection of the suspending ligament of the penis.
"Today, ligamentotomy is the main operation that we offer to extend the penis, " says the surgeon. - From my point of view, it is optimal in risk for the patient, trauma and the result. Although, in fact, it does not apply to true lengthening operations. We simply increase the angle between the penis and the pubis, hooking the bunch. Thus, the penis simply extends forward and the effect of an increase is obtained. "
The effectiveness of this operation largely depends on the supplement of tissues, therefore, in order to increase the chances of success and so that there is no scarring, doctors will recommend that the patient be worn by an extender before and after surgery in combination with the use of drugs affecting tissue stretching.
That is, the timing is as follows: 2 months before the ligamentotomy begin to wear an apparatus, then a half -hour operation, and then three more weeks with an extender. Total - slightly less than 3 months for everything.
With diameter, everything is more difficult for the patient, but more interesting for the reader.
You can increase the diameter of the penis by 2 centimeters, which is quite significant. Two methods are widely used. The first, the most common - due to the patient's own tissues.
This is arranged like this: a fragment of muscle tissue from the back or rectus of the abdomen is taken and transplanted to the penis. In fact, the penis is wrapped with a fragment of the muscles, and then the vessels are sewn to restore blood supply - this is called revascularization.
A similar operation is attributed to microsurgical. After it, the patient needs peace for a week.
The second method looks like this: take dermatowlacks from the inguinal region and are located along the cavernous bodies. In other words, they wrap the penis as when transplanting muscle tissue, but in this case, doctors do without microsurgical technology, so the recovery period passes easier: a strict bed rest is needed, and in the clinic the patient spends only a few days.
There is a way to increase the thickness of the penis using silicone implants - augmentation endoprosthetics of the penis. This is the least traumatic way, and the operation itself resembles breast plastic, only implants are individual, they are made specifically for the patient.
In all cases, the choice of the method depends solely on the preferences of the patient. The doctor is obliged to warn where the scar will be, what complications and consequences are possible so that a person can make a balanced decision.
What are the risks?
Despite the apparent simplicity of the operation and the ease of recovery, in addition to standard risks accompanying any surgical intervention, there is a risk of serious complication: if the doctor is excessively carried away, act inaccurately, he can damage the artery, thereby doom the patient to impotence. Therefore, the choice of the clinic and the doctor guaranteeing the result is the most important part of the operation.
The main thing to pay attention to when you choose a clinic is a balanced conversation with a doctor. He has no right to promise an increase in the penis three times or offhand to tell how many centimeters it will become larger. The doctor’s caution is the key to the success of the operation.
Ligamentomia is often combined with liposuction of the pubic area, in conjunction, this gives the best effect in patients with excess weight. The doctor says that based on his personal experience, patients are more satisfied with the extension of the penis. As for the probability of repeated operations, such a need often arises when an extension operation is combined with an increase in the diameter, and usually such a desire occurs in the patient in a distant postoperative period.
However, in addition to the risks related to health, patients are also worried about their own reputation, the anonymity of the operation. The plastic surgeon is convinced that this issue is solved simply: "In addition to the law that protects the patient, who states that the doctor cannot advertise any intervention, there is also an important point in contact of the patient and the doctor. Did trust arose between you? Do you think that the doctor has worthy moral qualities that will not allow him to spread about the operation in principle? Does he tell you in detail about other patients? Does he call their names? Or just gives examples similar to yours? By default, the doctor has no right to discuss your operation with anyone. However, if the patient is excessively worried about this, then, from the point of view of psychological comfort, he can specifically say that he is not interested in advertising this story. "
