Plastic surgeons have developed several surgical methods to achieve the desired male size. Ligamentotomy is a way to enlarge a man's penis, which, according to experts, adds 2 to 4 cm in length. It is the intersection of the ligament that fixes the penis to the pubic bones, as a result of which the organ extends from the pelvis outward several centimeters.
10 advantages
Doctors claim that the operation is very popular among men and is often performed in modern clinics.
Ligamentotomy has several advantages:
- Guaranteed result.Every man undergoing surgery has an organ that is at least 1. 5 centimeters long. Unlike folk remedies (such as soda) for penis enlargement, the procedure gives a quick and visible effect.
- Minimal trauma.A small incision is made in the skin to cross the ligament. Surgeons (when choosing a regular clinic) carry out manipulations very carefully so as not to touch the nerves and vessels located in the perineal area.
- Visual leveling of anatomical defects.During the operation, due to the lengthening, small defects become less noticeable: asymmetry or curvature of the organ. At the request of the patient, the doctor can simultaneously increase the thickness of the penis (a combination of techniques occurs).
- Lack of general anesthesia.Patients are often afraid of anesthesia or have medical contraindications for its implementation. Ligamentotomy is performed under local spinal anesthesia, which is well tolerated and causes no complications.
- Improve the aesthetics of the intimate area.After the procedure, the genital area acquires a more harmonious shape thanks to the lengthening and forward movement of the penis. This allows the man to feel more confident during sex.
- Short stay in hospital.It is not necessary to change working hours or take sick leave to perform the manipulation. A man after a ligamentotomy for the most part feels fine, he leaves the hospital after 24-72 hours.
- Short rehabilitation period.Recovery after surgery takes an average of 10-15 days. After this period, the edema disappears, the postoperative wound heals, the discomfort disappears, the man's life resumes its usual course.
- Increase length in a non-erect state.After the operation, the penis immediately becomes longer, which is also evident in the "hanging" position. This distinguishes ligamentotomy from external means for the penis, the effect of which is noticeable only under the condition of a persistent erection.
- Improve the quality of sex.After an increase in dignity, a man becomes confident, sexual desire increases, which has a positive effect on the stability of erection and on getting pleasure from intimacy.
- Lack of prolonged sexual abstinence.The procedure is not a contraindication to sexual intercourse after the wound has healed. After 2 weeks, a man is able to have sex, if this does not cause pain.
5 against
Like any surgery, penile ligamentotomy has downsides, which is important to familiarize yourself with before deciding to enlarge your penis in this way.
- Visible scar.If a skin incision is made in the pubic area, a visible scar remains after the wound is closed. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the organism: for some the scar will be small, while for others it grows and causes discomfort.
- Changes the angle of erection.After the procedure, the erect penis "looks" downward and may even deflect to one side, which causes aesthetic discomfort and also (rarely! ) discomfort during sex. This is due to the peculiarities of the anatomical structure of the pelvic organs.
- Need to use an extender.A ligament that has undergone plastic correction can return to its original state. To prevent this from happening, you need to use the extender every day for 2 to 6 months.
- Infections.If the postoperative scar is not properly maintained, there is a risk of bacteria entering the wound. This is fraught with inflammation and suppuration, and under unfavorable conditions, microorganisms can penetrate the organs of the genitourinary system, causing urethritis, orchitis and prostatitis.
- Offset member down.After dissection of the supporting ligaments, human dignity acquires excessive mobility, so it can "sag" a little. Some men complain that the organ is positioned unnaturally low in relation to the pubis.
Indications and contraindications
Surgeons recommend lengthening phalloplasty in the following situations:
- small penis (less than 10 in a state of erection);
- Peyronie's disease or other anatomical defects;
- the presence of complexes and problems with erection due to dissatisfaction with the size of the penis;
- cavernous fibrosis;
- deformation of organs after trauma;
- hypospadias or epispadias.
It should be remembered that ligamentotomy refers to surgical interventions, therefore, a number of limitations are distinguished during its implementation. The procedure should not be carried out for people allergic to local anesthetics, as this is fraught with anaphylactic shock and other serious consequences.
Penis enlargement surgery is not performed in the presence of such diseases:
- decreased blood clotting;
- diabetes mellitus;
- heart failure;
- increased intracranial pressure;
- congenital or acquired heart defects;
- mental disorders.
If at the time of ligamentotomy, infectious diseases of the genitourinary system or rashes in the intimate area are detected, the date of the operation is postponed until complete recovery.
How to do it
Before surgery, the doctor discusses the expected results with the man, carries out an examination and evaluates the individual characteristics of the anatomy. Based on the data obtained, the surgeon tells the patient what maximum increase the ligamentotomy can give him specifically. Before the procedure, a man must pass a series of tests (general blood and urine tests, tests for hepatitis and HIV viruses). Be sure to take an ECG and appoint a consultation with an anesthesiologist to select a pain relief method.
Penis enlargement surgery begins with anesthesia, followed by an incision in the pubic area or scrotum. Modern doctors prefer the second option, since the scar after it is almost invisible. The plastic surgeon then locates the supporting ligament (ligament) and cuts it, causing immediate lengthening of the penis. The specialist once again examines the operating field for the absence of bleeding and damage, sutures. Handling takes an average of 20-30 minutes.
The first day (sometimes longer) the patient is in the hospital. During this period, there is pain in the pubis and scrotum, and the temperature may rise. Doctors carefully monitor the state of health, administer the necessary drugs. After 24 hours, a bandage is made and the man is released home. The patient must visit the doctor several times: to monitor wound healing, to remove stitches, which occurs in 5-10 days.
After the scar has formed and the tissue integrity has been restored, it is necessary to start wearing the extender. The doctor tells in detail how to use it correctly so that there is no discomfort. The device is used daily for 2 to 6 hours a day. The duration of the penis extender application is selected individually and can be 2-6 months. At the same time, it is necessary to visit a doctor monthly to monitor the dynamics of the effect of therapy.
Average scores for men: "BEFORE" and "AFTER"
It is important to understand that the effect of the ligamentotomy is individual. It depends on the structure of the pelvic organs and the size of the "hidden" part of the penis, as well as on the regularity and duration of use of the extender.
The final result is practically not influenced by the initial parameters (initial size) of the penis, for example, the penis can lengthen both 1, 5 cm and 3 cm, and possibly even more, if it is initially ofat least 10 cm or 20 cm.
At a young age, the extensibility of the tissue is maximum, so a patient up to 25-30 years can count (not always! ) on + 3-4. 5 cm, then the mobility of the ligaments decreases and the increasemaximum is 1, 5-3 cm.
Price, on average - how much does the procedure cost
The average cost of a ligamentotomy is made up of the qualifications of the surgeon, the equipment and prestige of the clinic, the instruments and drugs used.
In addition, it is necessary to pay for the purchase of an extender, without which the ligamentotomy does not give a lasting effect.
