The size of the penis depends on the structural features of the man and his heredity. In some cases, insufficient penis size is associated with hormonal disorders or congenital anomalies.
Currently, the only effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery. However, before deciding on an operation, a man should consider all possible contraindications and consult a qualified surgeon.
Types of operations
With the help of plastic surgery, it is possible to achieve penis enlargement in length and width. Men often resort to joint surgery. There are several ways to change 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 is contraindicated in patients with erectile dysfunction. Its essence is in the cutting of the suspension ligament (ligamentum suspensorium penis - suspension ligament of the penis, tomia - dissection). The operation allows you to increase the size by 1-2 cm, and then the installation of a special orthopedic device (expander) increases the penis by 4-6. After ligamentotomy, our clinic may recommend lipofilling to increase the thickness and shape of the penis.
- Lipofilling is a procedure used to thicken the penis. This can be achieved by bringing the adipose tissue under the skin of the patient's genitals. The operating penis can grow to about 1 cm in diameter. It does not take long to recover, the effect is short-lived.
- Muscle transplantation is a complex surgical operation aimed at increasing the diameter of the penis. Tissue from the abdominal wall or fascia is used during transplantation. The lid is placed on the genital organ, the veins are built. As a result, the diameter of the penis can be increased by 3-4 cm.
- Phalloprosthetics are performed not only on the insufficient size of the penis, but also on serious indications, including dysfunction. Cartilage tissue or elastic materials are used for the prosthesis.

The decision on the possibility of falloplasty will be made by the attending physician based on the results of the examination and the patient's state of health.
Preparation for surgery

In preparation, a man should undergo a thorough physical examination for possible contraindications. The patient must give 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 and the chosen technique.
Ligamentotomy and lipofilling take an average of one hour. Muscle transplantation - about 3 hours. The duration of prosthetic surgery is 1-2 hours.
Rescue
The rehabilitation period after ligamentotomy is relatively short: the patient will have to stay in the hospital for about 2 days after the operation. After leaving the hospital, you should come regularly for examination and dressing. After 2-3 weeks, the stitches are almost invisible. You must wear the expander for at least 6 months.
Phalloprosthetics will require a longer and more severe recovery period. The duration depends on the man's body.
The recovery period after a muscle transplant will take at least 5 weeks.
