There are two main types of surgeries that help increase the size of the penis, one to increase the length and the other to increase the width. Although these surgeries can be used by any man, they are not offered by the SUS, since they are considered only as aesthetic improvement of the body.
In addition, this type of surgery usually does not bring the expected results and may even cause serious complications such as deformation of the penis, scarring or infection, for example.
Therefore, the need to have penile enlargement surgery should always be discussed with a urologist, to understand the benefits and risks in each case.
Surgery to increase the width
The surgery that increases the width of the penis can be done in two ways:
- Fat Injection : Liposuction is done on another part of the body, such as the flanks, belly or legs, and then a part of that fat is injected into the penis to fill and give more volume;
- Network placement : An artificial and biodegradable network, with cells, is placed under the skin and around the body of the penis to give more volume.
Depending on the type of surgery, and on each specific case, there may be an increase between 1.4 and 4 cm in diameter of the penis.
In any case, there are high risks and fat injection can cause penile deformity, while in the network placement is more common the development of an infection, for example.
Surgery to increase length
When the goal is to increase the size of the penis, surgery is usually recommended that cuts the ligament connecting the penis to the pubic bone, allowing the sex organ to fall more and appear larger.
Although this surgery can increase the size of the flaccid penis by about 2 cm, it is often not noticeable difference when the organ is erect. In addition, due to the ligament cut, many men report that during erection they have a smaller elevation of the penis, which can end up making difficult the intimate contact.
How is recovery
Recovery from penis enlargement surgery is relatively quick and it may be possible to return to work within 1 week after the procedure.
In most cases it is possible to return home the day after the surgery, and it is only recommended to keep the home at home until the points are removed and follow some guidelines that include taking the painkillers and anti-inflammatories prescribed by the doctor, as well as maintaining the The dressing is always dry and clean.
Sexual intercourse should only be resumed after 6 weeks or when it is indicated by the doctor and the most intense physical exercises, such as running or going to the gym, should only be started after 3 to 6 months.
Other options to increase penis size
Other solutions that exist to enlarge the penis are to use pills or vacuum pumps, which increase the amount of blood in the sexual organs and which therefore may give the sensation that the penis is larger.
In addition, when you are overweight, your penis may be covered with fat and therefore the urologist may also advise a liposuction of the intimate region, which removes excess fat and exposes the body of the penis, for example.
