Penis enlargement surgery requires real indications. If the patient wants to change the size of the penis due to psychological insecurity in their abilities, then in this case the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is necessary.
List of key indications for surgery:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to increased fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital pathology of organs;

- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ size that is not able to perform a full sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). Also, the surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a normal normal sex life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for surgery:
- A large amount of adipose tissue, which is located in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- Membrane organs.

When performing an operation to enlarge the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that stop this procedure:
- Presence of an average penis size in an elevated position;
- The juvenile age of a young person;
- Diabetes mellitus in a progressive form;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, SST;
- Dermatological diseases with spread to the skin of the organ;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Mistakes during surgery or heavy adherence to treatment recommendations can cause the following complications to develop:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Penis enlargement;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Reducing the sensitivity of the organ head.
After surgery, erectile dysfunction may be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Penile instability during sexual intercourse;
- The inclination of the angle of the organ during an elevated position;
- Reducing penis size;
- Severe deformity;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Necrotic tissue death.
Methods of operation
Methods for penis enlargement surgeries are based on the use of different methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed using spinal anesthesia (injection of pain relievers into the spinal cord). Manipulation is performed using an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissue and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures the lengthening of its size. With current measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but the characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient leaves the hospital the second day and recovers at home. Pain relief is required for the first 3 days. After surgery, the pubic scar remains from the incision made.
Rehabilitation lasts up to several months. During this time period, there is a dependence on the organ and the healing process of the tissues, which are gradually scarred. For healing, it is necessary to constantly wear an extender in order to finally adjust the result obtained.
The cost of ligamentotomy is in the middle range. Pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is performed in the presence of visible indications and is subject to the body’s readiness for surgical intervention.
Falloprosthetics
Falloprosthetics is one of the most difficult surgeries, as it involves replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often performed when changing sex and has a considerable number of complications, therefore, requires a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
For the operation, rigid, inflated and plastic implants are used. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia, and the artificial organ is inserted into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about cost, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible to the main category of the population.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery in which the penis is thick. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to get the desired effect.
When adipose tissue is implanted, a gradual dependence occurs and the genital organ functions normally. In order for the procedure to give the right result, it should be performed 2-3 times a year, as fat can be absorbed and create empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms appear, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication to exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the penis in thickness by 2 cm. The patient is discharged home for 2 days, and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (intimacy is prohibited to prevent the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplantation
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of microsurgical muscle transplantation. Moreover, this technique is used quite rarely, as it has a high cost.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a tissue thread and sew the dishes, thus increasing its size. The duration of the procedure is about 3 hours using general anesthesia.
The skin takes root well and practically does not cause rejection, so this technique is one of the most effective.
After surgery, the patient is discharged after 5-6 days. Recovery lasts 3 months, provided that all the recommendations of the attending physician are followed. Penile pain is noticed within 20-25 days.
Prosthetic surgery of the penis
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation used in the absence of a conservative treatment outcome and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for performance:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Inappropriate surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which was born against the background of progressive chronic diseases.
To perform the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a thorough examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (specialist should prepare the patient for the absence of erection after surgery for several months);
- Selection of the appropriate model and type of implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. After surgery, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in the hospital for 5 days, and then recovers at home for about 3 months. Absence of an erection lasts up to 20 days, and intimate intercourse is prohibited for 60 days.
Among the possible complications of the operation are the rejection of the installed prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high fever, inflammation) and the infection of the wound. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and perform repeated manipulations to correct the situation that has appeared.
When performing prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who will choose the most suitable implant and rule out the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods of penis enlargement
Doctors identify some non-surgical penis enlargement techniques, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation to the body and has an immediate but short-term effect. Impact is provided by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump, where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of such use, there is a darkening of the organ due to bruising and multiple bruises, an increased trauma to the organ.
- Using an extender.A special device of mechanical action, which helps to enlarge the penis. To get a tangible effect, it should be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risks of penile damage (disruption of blood circulation, leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also observed when using the apparatus (hanging a load on an organ causing it to bend and deform).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.Opinions of doctors on this issue differ, as many experts consider such therapy only as an adjunct. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking the pills. Such funds can be used to improve power in general.
