Penile enlargement surgery: weighing the pros and cons

Every year, about 8. 5 thousand such operations are performed in the world. We tell you what all these men risked and what they got in return.

How are things going?

What you see between your legs is not the whole penis. Part of it is inside the body, in the pubic area. And this part is not small: about the same amount of flesh is hidden from view as is visible from the outside. During operation, it is removed and fixed closer to the surface. To do this, the skin is removed and then pulled back - fortunately it stretches easily. This function can increase the length by 2-5 cm.

If you are more concerned about thickness, then doctors can offer gel injections, your own fat and synthetic plates. This can add 1 cm in volume. Do I need more? There is also such a procedure: on the operating table, the penis is wrapped in a flap of skin with subcutaneous fat. It will be taken from your own buttock. If this is not enough, a piece of muscle can be transplanted.

And what will I get?

1. Self confidence. There is no escaping it: a large penis is considered something of honor in our society.
2. Reliability. If you decide to have a full procedure, you can be sure that the results will last a lifetime.
3. The ability to have sex with micropenia. For men whose penis size does not exceed 5 cm, surgery is the only way to start an intimate life.

What are the disadvantages?

1. Pain, anesthesia and a long recovery period. You should forget about sex for at least a few months. The doctor can also prescribe various unpleasant procedures after the operation. For example, to prevent the penis from retracting backwards, you must wear an extender for 8 hours a day.
2. A dubious advantage in bed. In the USA, managers of sex shops were surveyed: it turned out that 13 cm long artificial phalluses sold best.
3. Price. The most expensive thing is the transplantation of muscle tissue to increase the diameter.

4. The doctor may refuse surgery. This rarely happens, but it does happen.
5. Serious health risks - and this is the main argument against. Here are the risks of an unsuccessful operation:
• Bleeding during urination
• Pain during erection
• Decreased sensitivity
• Penile deformity
• Infections and scars
• Necrosis of the tissue inserted to increase the diameter
• Loss of power

Doctors warn that penis enlargement is a risky step and should only be attempted as a last resort.
