Plastic surgeons have developed several surgical methods to achieve the desired male size. A ligamentotomy is a way to enlarge the 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, from where the organ extends from the pelvis to the outside by several centimeters.
10 advantages
Doctors say the operation is very popular with men and is usually performed in modern clinics.
Ligamentotomy has several advantages:
- Guaranteed result.Every man undergoing surgery has an organ that stretches by at least 1. 5 centimeters. Unlike folk remedies (like soft drinks) for penis enlargement, the procedure has a quick and visible effect.
- Minimal trauma.A small incision is made in the skin to cross the ligament. Surgeons (when choosing a normal clinic) perform the manipulations with great care not to touch the nerves and vessels located in the perineal area.
- Visual leveling of anatomical defects.During the operation, due to stretching, small defects become less noticeable: asymmetry or curvature of the organ. At the patient's request, the doctor can simultaneously increase the thickness of the penis (a combination of techniques occurs).
- Lack of general anesthesia.Patients are generally afraid of anesthesia or have medical contraindications for its implementation. Ligamentotomy is performed under local spinal anesthesia, which is well tolerated and does not cause complications.
- Improving the aesthetics of the intimate area.After the procedure, the genital region takes on a more harmonious shape due to the lengthening and advancing of the penis forward. This allows the man to feel more confident during sex.
- Short hospital stay.You do not need to change your working hours or take sick leave to perform the manipulation. A man after a ligamentotomy feels very well, leaves the hospital after 24-72 hours.
- Short rehabilitation period.Recovery after the intervention takes an average of 10-15 days. After this period, the edema disappears, the postoperative wound heals, the discomfort disappears, the man's life follows its normal course.
- Increases the length in a non-erect state.After the operation, the penis immediately becomes longer, which is noticeable even in the "hanging" position. This distinguishes the ligamentotomy from external means for the penis, the effect of which is noticeable only in the condition of a persistent erection.
- Improving the quality of sex.After an increase in dignity, the man becomes self-confident, the sexual desire increases, which has a positive effect on the stability of an erection and on obtaining pleasure in intimacy.
- Absence of prolonged sexual abstinence.The procedure is not a contraindication for sexual intercourse after the wound heals. After 2 weeks, the man can have sex, if it does not cause pain.
5 cons
Like any surgical intervention, penile ligamentotomy has negative aspects, which it is important to become familiar with before deciding to enlarge the penis in this way.
- Visible scar.If an incision is made in the skin in the pubic area, a visible scar will remain after the wound closes. Everything depends on the individual characteristics of the organism: for some, the scar will be small, while for others it grows and causes discomfort.
- Change the erection angle.After the procedure, the erect penis "looks" downwards, and can also deviate to the side, which causes aesthetic discomfort and also (rarely! ) bothers during sexual intercourse. 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 daily for 2 to 6 months.
- Infections.If the postoperative scar is not maintained properly, there is a risk of bacteria entering the wound. This is fraught with inflammation and suppuration and, in unfavorable conditions, microorganisms can penetrate the organs of the genitourinary system, causing urethritis, orchitis, prostatitis.
- Shifting member down.After the dissection of the supporting ligaments, the dignity of man acquires excessive mobility, being able to "yield" a little. Some men complain that the organ is positioned abnormally low in relation to the pubis.
Indications and contraindications
Surgeons recommend stretching the phalloplasty in the following situations:
- small penis size (less than 10 in an erect state);
- Peyronie's disease or other anatomical defects;
- the presence of complexes and erection problems due to dissatisfaction with the size of the penis; cavernous fibrosis;
- organ deformation 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 performed on people allergic to local anesthetics, as this can result in anaphylactic shock and other serious consequences.
Penis lengthening surgery is not performed in the presence of these diseases:
- decreased blood clotting; diabetes mellitus;
- heart failure;
- increased intracranial pressure;
- congenital or acquired heart defects;
- mental disorders.
If infectious diseases of the genitourinary system or skin rashes in the intimate area are detected at the time of ligamentotomy, the date of the operation is postponed until complete recovery.
How to do
Before the operation, the doctor discusses the expected results with the man, performs an examination and evaluates the individual characteristics of the anatomy. Based on the data obtained, the surgeon informs the patient what maximum increase the ligamentotomy can specifically provide. Before the procedure, the man needs to pass several tests (general blood and urine tests, tests for hepatitis and HIV). Be sure to have an ECG and make an appointment with an anesthetist to select a method of pain relief.
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 support ligament (ligament) and cuts it off, causing the penis to lengthen immediately. The specialist again examines the operative field for the absence of bleeding and damage, sutures. Handling takes 20 to 30 minutes on average.
The first day (sometimes more) that the patient is in the hospital. During this period, there is pain in the pubis and scrotum and the temperature may increase. 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 go to the doctor several times more: to monitor the healing of the wound, to remove the stitches, which occurs on days 5-10.
After the scar is formed and tissue integrity is restored, it is necessary to start using the extender. The doctor explains 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 application of the penis extender is selected individually and can be from 2 to 6 months. At the same time, it is necessary to consult a doctor monthly to monitor the dynamics of the therapy's effect.
Average scores for men: "BEFORE" and "AFTER"
It is important to understand that the effect of ligamentotomy is individual. It depends on the structure of Organs pelvic organs and the size of the "hidden" part of the penis, as well as the regularity and duration of use of the extensor.
The final result is practically unaffected by the initial parameters (initial size) of the penis, for example, the penis can lengthen by 1. 5 cm or 3 cm, and possibly more, initially at least 10 cm or 20cm.
At a young age, the extensibility of the tissue is maximum, so a patient up to 25-30 years can count (not always! ) in + 3-4, 5 cm, so the mobility of the ligaments decreases, and the increasemaximum is 1, 5-3 cm.
Price, on average - how much the procedure costs
The average cost of a ligamentotomy consists of the qualification of the surgeon, equipment and prestige of the clinic, the instruments and medicines used.
In addition, it is necessary to pay for the purchase of an extender, without which the ligamentotomy has no lasting effect.
