The size of the penis depends on the structural characteristics of the man and his heredity. In some cases, insufficient size of the penis is due to hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
At the moment, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on an operation, a man should take into account all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, penis enlargement can be achieved in length and width. Men often resort to combined surgery. There are several techniques for changing the size of the penis:
- Ligamentotomy is a procedure to increase the length of the penis. This technique is considered the most modern and safe, but it is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence lies in the incision of the suspension ligament (fromligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and the subsequent wearing of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6see After ligamentotomy, our clinic can recommend lipofilling 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. The operation can enlarge the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. It does not require longrecovery, however, the effect of it is short-lived.
- Muscle transplant is a complex surgical procedure aimed at increasing the diameter of the penis. The transplant uses tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia. The flap is placed on the genital organ, the vessels are sutured. As a resultthe diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
- Falloprosthetics is carried out exclusively according to strict indications, including not only an insufficient size of the penis, but also its dysfunction. Cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used for the prosthesis.

After discharge, you will need to come regularly for examination and dressing. After 2-3 weeks, the seam becomesalmost invisible. You will have to wear the extender for at least 6 months.
