A rare person did not think about the measure of his own merit. Among Europeans, the average penis is between 13 and 16 centimeters. Some representatives of the stronger sex are thinking about surgical intervention.
Penis enlargement surgery aims to eliminate penile defects: curvature, small size. It is possible not only to lengthen the genital organ, but also to increase its volume.

How plastic surgery is done on the penis
At the first stage, men consult a doctor. Assesses the patient's condition. If there are no visible deformities and problems, then the doctor will try to explain that there is no need for surgical intervention. Some young people refuse plastic surgery after talking with the surgeon, while others decide to enlarge their genitals.
In the second stage, men collect the necessary tests, undergo an examination by narrow specialists. They should be referred to a urologist, cardiologist, therapist (if necessary, other doctors). For the operation, you need the results of blood tests, urine tests, coagulogram, electrocardiogram.
Later, patients go to surgery, stay in the hospital for 1-2 days after the surgery, regain their strength and get rid of anesthesia. Depending on the type of intervention, the rehabilitation process takes place within 1-3 months.
There are three types of phalloplasty:
- penis length and thickness remain unchanged;
- thickening of the phallus, but the length will not change;
- Prosthesis is a serious plastic surgery on the penis. It is performed only according to indications, but not every doctor will agree to surgical intervention. Like prostheses, surgeons implant cartilage tissue or an elastic material similar to its features.
Attention! Only one transaction type can be selected. It is impossible to increase the size and thickness of the penis at the same time. If desired, the patient should undergo plastic surgery, undergo rehabilitation, and then undergo a new operation.
Extension
![With the help of ligamentotomy, you can increase the length of the penis](/images/articles/632/With%20the%20help%20of%20ligamentotomy,%20you%20can%20increase%20the%20length%20of%20the%20penis.jpg)
Ligamentotomy is a surgical operation aimed at lengthening the penis. It is often done for medical reasons. If a man is adult and mentally healthy, he can have plastic surgery. During the operation, surgeons cut the upper ligament that supports the penis. Thus, the length of the penis does not change, but its size increases due to the elongation of the cavernous bodies.
The postoperative period plays an important role, with proper rehabilitation, the penis will grow. If the patient does not follow the doctor's recommendations, then there will be no positive result.
Ligamentotomy is performed under general or epidural anesthesia and takes 30 minutes. No prior hospitalization is required. The member is extended by 3-6 centimeters. On the first day after the operation, you can see that the penis has grown by 1-1. 5 centimeters. Further growth occurs during the rehabilitation process.
The penis will have to gradually and regularly lengthen. Some require three months to consolidate the results, others - at least six months. It is necessary to wear extension devices for 2-4 hours a day. First a stretcher, no later than a month - expander. If the rehabilitation is done correctly, the penis will be longer and will not return to its place.
Thickening

Phalloplasty in which the penis is enlarged is called lipofilling. This is a common minimally invasive surgery. It is performed only under general anesthesia and lasts up to 3 hours. The operation is performed according to absolute indications, when the penis is curved or wide enough. If you want to improve the appearance of the reproductive organ and there are no contraindications, lipofilling is performed for men over 18 years old.
The patient's natural fat is injected under the skin of the penis. It is taken from the hips, abdomen, thighs. Biological material is purified from fractions, injected into the penis, evenly distributed along its entire length. Surgeons sew puncture sites, close them with a special plaster. An implant or silicone may also be placed.
For 1-2 months, doctors advise to refrain from sports and serious physical exertion. Also, you cannot have sex at this time, otherwise the effect of the plastic surgery will be wasted.
The main advantages of the procedure:
- an increase in volume of 1-1. 5 centimeters;
- minimal risk of complications as natural biological material is obtained;
- you cannot wear extenders during rehabilitation.
The main disadvantage of plastic surgery is that it is temporary. After a few years, the procedure should be repeated, because the penis will be the same size.
Attention! In the case of an unsuccessful operation, there is a possibility of deformation of the penis, the appearance of irregularities and seals.
Complications

If a man does not have serious indications for surgery, if the length and shape of the genital organ does not affect sexual intercourse, then plastic surgeons will try to dissuade him from surgery. Often they show documentaries about how the operation is done. Some young men immediately refuse to enlarge their penis.
If the decision is final, then it is worth familiarizing yourself with possible complications. Among them are the following:
- pain during intercourse and during erection;

After a few days, swelling and redness will disappear. After a few weeks, surgeons remove the stitches. The rehabilitation process begins.
