There are two types of penis enlargement surgery: some increase length, others increase thickness. Consider each type in terms of expediency, effectiveness and danger to the patient's body. In the article, special attention is paid to the rehabilitation period, since the consolidation of the results of the surgical intervention depends on the rehabilitation.
Lengthening, ligamentotomy
Operations to increase the length of the penis - ligamentotomy. The suspensory ligament is cut, and during the rehabilitation period the penis must be kept taut, otherwise the ligament may fuse in its original position. The penis is kept taut with an elastic tensioner. As a result, the angle between the penis and the uterus opens (increases). In addition, the inside of the penis is slightly stretched and rooted in a new position.
If you follow the recommendations during the rehabilitation period, the penis can be lengthened from 1 to 2 cm, if without surgery it is guaranteed to grow up to 3 cm, which is confirmed by an international study, then with surgery it will be up to 4-5 cm, but with certain risks.
Indications
The main indication is the patient's desire to improve aesthetic performance.
Estimated Feasibility:
- With an erection length of 10-12 cm - there are medical indications,
- between 12-3 p. m. - at the patient's request,
- over 16 - doesn't make much sense.
Analyzes
Usually only a testosterone test is needed before surgery. The other necessary tests are carried out in the clinic immediately before the operation. However, please ask your surgeon. Chat with a doctor. This way you will understand how competent and appropriate the specialist is. If you cannot get complete information from him, then the person is no longer willing to communicate, think about what will happen if some complications arise - you will have to solve the problems on your own.
Contraindications
Contraindications are:
- skin diseases in the surgical area,
- diseases of the urogenital system,
- urological diseases,
- urethritis and other similar problems.
You will probably need to undergo a psychological consultation: if abnormalities are detected, they may become a contraindication.
Operating cost
Inspections and dressings are free.

Types of ligamentotomy
The ligamentotomy is performed through the pubis or the scrotum. The tape is cut through the incision.
Pubic access is an outdated procedure that leaves quite a noticeable scar. This surgery takes longer, which increases the risk of infection and prolongs the patient's stay under anesthesia.
A newer technique is ligamentotomy through the scrotal access: an incision is made in the scrotum and through this access to the ligament is opened. Ligamentotomy through the scrotum reduces the operating time from 1-1. 5 hours (standard ligamentotomy) to 20-30 minutes. The scar on the scrotum is almost invisible. Fewer tissues are damaged, the rehabilitation period is shorter.
A side effect of ligamentotomy is a change in the angle of erection. An erect penis is not directed forward and upward, but forward and downward. The operation should not affect the level of erection.
Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation period is extremely important in ligamentotomy. We cross the support strip. To prevent the ligament from fusing in its original position, the penis must be down during the rehabilitation 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 slightly pulled out and then rooted to 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 with maximum traction. The device will not put pressure on the seam, it is compact, invisible under clothes, and can be worn outside the home. You can start using it in the early postoperative period, which helps to eliminate the deviation of the sutures and the formation of scars.
The result of the operation is fixed and improves for several months. But the first or second week will be critical. If the patient does not use the stretcher in these first days, the ligamentotomy will be pointless.
Stress and pain are possible after surgery. If you do not familiarize yourself with the stretcher and extender in advance, do not choose comfortable clothing for wearing the devices, and do not adapt to wearing them, then experimenting after the operation will be extremely problematic. As a result, patients very often refuse to wear the devices or do not wear them long enough.
The stretcher should be worn for the first 3 weeks, then gradually connect the extension, following your feelings. Wearing an extender after surgery improves the result. After the ligamentotomy, the extender lengthens both the outer and inner parts of the penis. You can have sex around this time. Your doctor should be more specific about this and other precautions after surgery.
You often hear complaints that the operation did not work. These are only cases where the patient did not follow the above recommendations.
Ask the surgeon what rehabilitation program he plans. If it does not include wearing a stretcher postoperatively, it is still better to refuse.
Which extension to choose for ligamentotomy
The extender is an alternative to surgery. It is possible to increase the length of the organ to 3-4 cm without a scalpel, but in this article we consider the extender as a method used in postoperative therapy. A cheap device from a sex shop will not work for such purposes. It must meet several requirements:
- Supplied with an elastic strap.
- The extension should be comfortable enough to be left on for 1. 5-2 hours straight.
An extension cord from a German manufacturer is ideal. The set includes a flexible stretcher for wearing after surgery. The extender is attached to the penis with vacuum glue. This type of attachment is the most comfortable of the existing ones and allows you to wear the extension or stretcher for up to 3 hours in a row. It has to be worn for a long time to get the penis into a new position.
After the penile implantation period, you can continue to wear the extender, which will achieve additional results thanks to the growth of the penis. Therefore, if you are thinking about surgery, start practicing with the extender beforehand.
This is the only extender in which the attachment does not come into contact with the hard parts of the penis. It has several modifications: an extension on the bars, an elastic belt, a stretcher and with weights - a hanger.
Increasing thickness
Increasing the thickness of the penis is not easy. Unlike ligamentotomy, thickening operations are complex and can have side effects.
One of the most popular is to transplant the patient's fat flap under the skin of the penis. At the same time, the volume increases 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 is absorbed gradually and, most importantly, unevenly. Therefore, tubercles may appear on the surface of the organ.
Another method involves transferring a section of muscle tissue under the skin of the penis, where the shaft wraps around a flap of muscle. Insertion of the muscle into the penis is a complicated and expensive manipulation, and even if performed flawlessly, it is fraught with complications. Necrosis and ischemia of the muscle flap are complications that occur in many cases. The wing is then urgently removed to save the patient's life. The muscle part required for transplantation is taken from the back. Many doctors believe that this worsens posture, since the muscles support the bones, and there is nothing to compensate for the location of the implant.
The third popular method is the introduction of hyaluronic acid under the skin of the penis. This is a special gel that can add thickness to the body. The gel is injected quickly. The cost of this surgery is low compared to other surgical methods. It is most often done by a beautician. After a year, the acid dissolves and the procedure must be repeated. The injected gel is often collected in small clumps and encapsulated. Seals can be felt on the penis, the topography of the skin becomes uneven.
All three types of surgery can have approximately 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 its unnaturally swollen appearance for a very long time.
All operations involve risk. There are more and more risky interventions. Ligamentotomy is relatively safe and effective when worn with an extender. Compression operations are more dangerous and usually have a temporary effect.
It's never too late to go under the knife. Try non-surgical penis enlargement methods.
