The penis has traditionally been seen as a symbol of masculine power, so its size has always been a cause for male interest. Many of them still believe that a large penis is the main sign of sexual and sexual superiority. Normally, the length of the penis at rest ranges from 7 to 13 cm, when erect the length reaches from 12 to 20 cm, if the size of the penis is less than 12 cm, it is considered a small penis, and iflongs. smaller than 2-3 cm micropenis.
Insufficient penis length often leads to a decrease in a man's self-esteem and, in some cases, to serious problems in his intimate life (to the point of complete inability to have intercourse).
To solve this delicate problem, the surgeons suggested performing a laparotomy - a surgery aimed at increasing the length of the penis.
The development of penis length consists of two stages:
- Stage 1 - surgery (ligamentectomy). During surgery, the urologist will cut open the ligaments that support the penis.
- Phase 2 - substance use lasts at least 2-3 hours per day for 4-6 months.
Point
As a rule, a small penis is not impaired in function and does not lead to infertility. In such cases, the penis enlargement operation is performed exclusively at the request of the man and for cosmetic reasons. In cases where there is an abnormality in the growth of an organ (eg, with micropenis), a ligamentectomy is performed for medical reasons.
Contraindications
Penile lengthening surgery, like any surgical operation, has a number of contraindications: bleeding disorders, cancer, diabetes, infectious and inflammatory processes in the body, etc. v.
The possibility of surgical intervention is determined by the doctor based on the results of the pre-operative examination.
Prepare for ligament cutting
To rule out contraindications to surgery, it is necessary to prepare before surgery (it can be at our site or anywhere convenient for the patient):
- clinical blood test;
- general urinalysis;
- 4 mandatory tests (syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, C);
- blood biochemical tests (glucose, AST, ALT, creatinine, total bilirubin);
- coagulation machine number 1;
- Electrocardiogram (before intravenous anaesthesia for patients over 45 years of age or with chronic heart disease).
In some cases, you may also need a referral from a specialist (for example, an endocrinologist, if you suspect diabetes).
Surgical intervention process
Surgery can be performed under local or combined intravenous anesthesia. The second option is used more often to eliminate discomfort during ligament cutting.
The essence of the procedure is to lengthen the penis by dissecting the ligaments and redistributing the length of the penis in the direction of increasing the hanging part.
During surgery, the surgeon will remove the suspensory (supporting) ligament of the penis, its function is to hold part of the penis inside the body. The operation can be performed through the scrotal or pubic approach. The duration of all phases of the operation is usually 30 to 60 minutes.
Result of the activity
As a result of laparotomy, the length of the penile suspension increases by 3-5 cm. extensibility and elasticity of tissues). For maximum results after surgery, a brace should be worn for 4-6 months 2-3 hours per day.
Characteristics of the recovery phase
Penile lengthening surgery is considered a minimally invasive method, the patient is under the supervision of medical staff for a few hours after the surgery, then can leave the clinic on their own.
Prior to discharge, urologists made all necessary recommendations regarding the wearing of the extender to improve the outcome of the surgery, as well as how to care for the genitals, dressing, and reconstruction. examination. Rehabilitation time after ligament surgery is only 2-3 weeks. After this time, the wound heals completely and the post-surgery stitches are completely invisible.
The most frequently asked questions in plastic surgery about penis enlargement surgery:
How much does penis length increase after ligamentectomy?
The final result of the operation directly depends on the anatomical and physiological features of the man. After activity and having to wear a daily extender (2-3 hours a day), the length of the penis increases by an average of 3-5 cm both at rest and in a state of sexual arousal.

Due to tissue injury, intercourse may be painful for several days. Full wound healing occurs after 2-3 weeks, after which the man can resume his sex life.
Can fertility problems occur after a ligamentectomy?
After surgery, there are no side effects such as impaired fertility or male reproductive function, because when performing a ligamentectomy, the surgeon does not affect the anatomical structure responsible. erection.

The cost of ligament surgery varies from clinic to clinic depending on many different factors.
The total cost of penis enlargement includes:
- Primary consultation with a urologist;
- Preoperative analysis;
- Surgery - Cut the ligament;
- Anesthesia (local or intravenous anesthesia);
