The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his heredity. In some cases, insufficient penis size is the result of hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
Currently, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on surgery, a man should consider all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, an increase in the length and width of the penis can be achieved. Men often resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques for resizing the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and safest, but is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the incision of the suspension ligament (odligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and subsequently wearing a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6 look after ligamentotomy, our clinic may recommend lipophilization to increase the thickness and align the shape of the penis.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by introducing the patient's adipose tissue under the skin of the genital organ. Surgery can increase the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. It does not need long recovery, however, its effect is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgical procedure aimed at increasing the diameter of the penis. Transplantation uses tissue of the abdominal wall or fascia. The lobe is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are sutured. As a result, the diameter of the penis can increase by 3-4 cm.
- Falloprosthetics are performed exclusively according to strict indications, including not only insufficient penis size, but also its dysfunction. Cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used for dentures.

If the penis is functioning normally and the man is capable of reproduction, then there is no direct indication for surgical intervention. How much phalloplasty is needed - will be decided by a specialist.
Contraindications

Preparing for surgery
Before surgery, the surgeon consults the patient. The doctor will tell you about all the possible risks and consequences, as well as choose the most appropriate surgical technique.
In the preparatory phase, the man will need to undergo a comprehensive examination of the body with a view to possible contraindications. The patient will need to donate blood and urine, undergo an ECG and X-ray procedure and be examined by a urologist.
Operation progress
Regardless of the method chosen in the clinic, the operation will be performed under general anesthesia. The course of the operation depends on the desired result, as well as the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipophilization take about an hour on average. Muscle transplantation - about 3 hours. The duration of prosthetic surgery is 1-2 hours.
Recovery
The rehabilitation period after ligamentotomy is relatively short: after the operation the patient will have to stay in the hospital for about 2 days. After discharge, you will need to come for regular checkups and dressing. After 2-3 weeks the seam becomes almost invisible. You will need to wear the extension cord for at least 6 months.
Falloprosthetics will require a longer and more serious recovery period. Its duration depends on the human body.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will last at least 5 weeks.
