Penis Enlargement Surgery
Today, procedures for aesthetic concerns are performed in almost all areas of medicine. Although limited, some procedures are performed for aesthetic purposes in urology. These procedures are related to the appearance of the penis, they are called penis plasty or penis aesthetics. In this context, penis enlargement surgery can be performed on people.
What is Penis Aesthetics?
Penis aesthetic surgeries aim to enlarge and thicken the penis and correct the curvature of the penis. Only one of these procedures can be performed on the patient, or all three can be performed depending on the patient’s needs and wishes.
Penis Extension Surgery
In penis lengthening surgery, the tendons between the penis and the pelvis are intervened. These tendons are slightly relaxed and it may be possible to extend the penis up to 2-3 cm. However, the important point here is that this procedure is aimed at enlarging the penis. That is, the size of the erect penis will remain the same.
Another method is to clean the fat layer at the root of the penis. This can make the penis appear longer. There is also a growth potential of up to 2 cm. The important point here is the risk of a fat layer forming at the root of the penis again after the procedure. This risk is quite high. As it is known, a layer of fat can easily form around the belly, especially in middle-aged and older men. It is important to exercise and pay attention to nutrition after the procedure.
Penis Thickening Surgery
It is the process of injecting fat taken from different parts of the body into the penis. In this way, the penis can be made to appear thicker both in the penis and in the erect position. It gives good results in the short and medium term. Depending on the person’s metabolism and lifestyle, this fat tissue can remain for up to 4 years. However, fat tissue tends to melt over time. Once this melts, the process can be repeated.
Penile Curvature Correction Surgery
Penile curvature may be seen in men, either congenitally or acquired. In addition to disturbing the person, this image can also make sexual intercourse difficult. In this case, it is necessary to correct the curvature of the penis. In this state, penis curvature is a procedure performed not only for aesthetic purposes but also out of necessity.
During the surgery, bends are made in the opposite direction of the curvature and the penis is straightened. Usually there is no change in the size of the penis. However, if the degree of curvature is high, a shortening of around 1 cm may be observed in the penis.
Things to Know After Penis Aesthetic Surgery
- After the procedure, the area around the penis must be kept clean and dry.
- Sexual intercourse should be avoided for approximately 6 weeks. Your doctor will inform you of the exact date according to the procedure performed.
- Tight clothing should be avoided.
- The risk of loss of erection and numbness after the procedure is low.
- Swelling and discomfort disappear in approximately 2 weeks.
- There is a slight risk of infection.
- Today, aesthetic interventions for the penis are very few and their benefits are limited. For this reason, it should be discussed in detail what the person’s motivation is for having the procedure and whether his penis really needs an operation.
