A rare person has not thought about the extent of his dignity. The average European penis is between 13 and 16 centimeters long. Some representatives of the stronger sex think about surgical intervention.

How is penile plastic surgery performed?
At the first stage, men seek medical help. He assesses the patient's condition. If there are no visible deformities and problems, then the doctor will try to explain that there is no need for surgical intervention. After talking with the surgeon, some young people refuse plastic surgery, others decide to enlarge the penis.
At the second stage, men collect the necessary tests, undergo examinations by narrow specialists. They should consult a urologist, cardiologist, therapist (if necessary, other doctors). For the operation, you will need the results of blood tests, urine, coagulogram, electrocardiogram.
After that, patients go to the operation, spend 1-2 days after it in the hospital, recover their strength and come out of anesthesia. Within 1-3 months, depending on the type of intervention, the rehabilitation process takes place.
There are three types of phalloplasty:
- lengthening of the penis while the thickness remains the same;
- thickening of the phallus, but its length will not change;
- prosthetics is a serious plastic surgery of the penis. It is performed only according to indications, but not every doctor will agree to surgical intervention. As prostheses, surgeons implant cartilage tissue or an elastic material that is similar in characteristics.
attention! Only one operation type can be selected. It is impossible to increase the size and thickness of the penis at the same time. If desired, the patient will have to undergo one plastic surgery, undergo rehabilitation and then undergo a new operation.
Extension
![With the help of a ligamentotomy, you can increase the length of the penis](/images/articles/632/With%20the%20help%20of%20a%20ligamentotomy,%20you%20can%20increase%20the%20length%20of%20the%20penis.jpg)
A ligamentotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at lengthening the penis. It is most often done for medical reasons. If a person is old and mentally healthy, then he can have plastic surgery. During the operation, surgeons cut the upper ligament that supports the penis. As such, the length of the penis does not change, but due to the expansion of the corpora cavernosa, it increases in size.
An important role is played by the postoperative period, with proper rehabilitation, the penis will become larger. If the patient does not follow the doctor's recommendations, then there will be no positive results.
Ligamentotomy is performed under general or epidural anesthesia and takes 30 minutes. No prior hospitalization is required. The member is lengthened by 3-6 centimeters. On the first day after the operation, you can notice that the penis has become larger by 1-1. 5 centimeters. Subsequent growth occurs in the rehabilitation process.
The penis will need to be stretched gradually and regularly. Some require three months to consolidate results, others at least six months. Extenders need to be worn for 2-4 hours a day. At first a stretcher, no earlier than a month - an extender. If the rehabilitation is done correctly, then the penis will become longer and will not return to its place.
Thickening

Phalloplasty, in which the penis becomes wider in circumference, is called lipofilling. This is a common minimally invasive surgery. It is performed only under general anesthesia, takes up to 3 hours. The operation is performed according to absolute indications when the penis is curved or has insufficient width. If you wish to improve the appearance of the reproductive organ and have no contraindications, lipofilling is performed on men over 18 years of age.
The patient's natural fat is injected under the skin of the penis. It is taken from the buttocks, abdomen, thighs. The biological material is cleaned of fractions, injected into the penis, evenly distributed along its entire length. Surgeons sew up the puncture sites, close them with a special plaster. An implant or silicone can also be placed.
Within 1-2 months, doctors advise to avoid sports, serious physical exertion. In addition, at this time you cannot have sex, otherwise the effect of plastic surgery will be lost.
The main advantages of the procedure:
- increase in volume by 1-1. 5 centimeters;
- minimal risk of complications, as natural biological material is taken;
- during rehabilitation you cannot wear extension devices.
The main disadvantage of plastic surgery is that it is temporary. After a few years, it is necessary to repeat the procedure, as the penis will become the same size.
attention! In the case of an unsuccessful operation, there is a possibility of deformation of the penis, the appearance of bumps and seals.

If the man has no serious indications for surgery, the length and shape of the penis do not affect sexual intercourse, then plastic surgeons will try to dissuade him from surgery.
