Plastic surgeons have developed various 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 outwards for several centimeters.
10 advantages
Doctors say the operation is very popular with men and is often performed in modern clinics.
Ligamentotomy has several advantages:
- Guaranteed result.Every man undergoing surgery has an organ that lengthens at least 1. 5 centimeters. Unlike home remedies (such as soda) to enlarge the penis, the procedure produces 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 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 elongation, 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 often fear anesthesia or have medical contraindications to its application. The 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 area acquires a more harmonious shape due to the lengthening and forward movement of the penis. This allows the man to feel more secure during sexual intercourse.
- Short hospital stay.You don't need to change your work schedule or take sick leave to do the manipulation. A man after a ligamentotomy for the most part feels fine, he leaves the hospital after 24 to 72 hours.
- Brief rehabilitation period.Recovery after the intervention takes an average of 10 to 15 days. After this period, the edema disappears, the postoperative wound heals, the discomfort disappears, the man's life returns to its usual course.
- Increase the length in a non-erect state.After the operation, the penis lengthens immediately, which is noticeable even in the "hanging" position. This distinguishes the ligamentotomy from the external means for the penis, the effect of which is noticeable only under the condition of a persistent erection.
- Improving the quality of sex.After an increase in dignity, a man becomes self-confident, sexual desire increases, which has a positive effect on the stability of an erection and on the pleasure of intimacy.
- Prolonged lack of sexual abstinence.The procedure is not a contraindication to intercourse after the wound has healed. After 2 weeks, a man can have sex, if this does not cause him pain.
5 cons
Like any surgical procedure, the penile ligamentotomy has negative aspects, with which it is important to become familiar before deciding to enlarge the 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 "faces" downward and may also drift to the side, causing cosmetic discomfort and also (rarely! ) discomfort during 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 a plastic correction may return to its original state. To prevent this from happening, you must use the thinner daily 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 and cause urethritis, orchitis and prostatitis.
- Shift member down.After dissection of the supporting ligaments, the dignity of the man acquires excessive mobility, so it can "give way" a little. Some men complain that the organ is positioned abnormally low in relation to the pubis.
Indications and contraindications
Surgeons recommend lengthening the phalloplasty in the following situations:
- small penis size (less than 10 in 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;
- deformation of the organ after trauma;
- hypospadias or epispadias.
It should be remembered that ligamentotomy refers to surgical interventions, therefore a series of limitations are distinguished during its implementation. The procedure should not be carried out for people allergic to local anesthetics, as it 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 infectious diseases of the genitourinary system or skin eruptions in the intimate area are detected at the time of the ligamentotomy, the date of the operation is postponed until full recovery.
How to do it
Before the operation, the doctor discusses the expected results with the man, makes an examination and assesses the individual characteristics of the anatomy. Based on the data obtained, the surgeon tells the patient what maximum increase the ligamentotomy can give him in particular. Before the procedure, a man must pass a series of tests (general blood and urine tests, tests for hepatitis and HIV virus). Be sure to take an ECG and schedule a consultation with an anesthesiologist 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 posterior scar is almost invisible. The plastic surgeon then locates the supporting ligament (ligament) and cuts it, causing the penis to immediately lengthen. The specialist re-examines the operative field in search of absence of bleeding and damage, sutures. Manipulation takes 20 to 30 minutes on average.
The first day (sometimes longer) that 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 discharged. The patient must visit the doctor several more times: to monitor the wound healing, to remove the stitches, which occurs in days 5-10.
After scar formation and restoration of tissue integrity, it is necessary to start using the extender. The doctor tells you 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 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 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 the regularity and duration of use of the extender.
The final result is practically not affected by the initial parameters (initial size) of the penis, for example, the penis can be lengthened by both 1. 5 cm and 3 cm, and possibly even more, if initially it is atminus 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! ) + 3-4, 5 cm, then the mobility of the ligaments decreases andthe maximum increase is 1. 5-3 cm.
Price, on average: how much does the procedure cost
The average cost of a ligamentotomy consists of the qualifications of the surgeon, the equipment and the prestige of the clinic, the instruments and the medications used.
In addition, you have to pay for the purchase of an extender, without which the ligamentotomy does not give a lasting effect.
