What To Know About Penile Enhancement And Phalloplasty
Normal. This is almost a paradox when talking about the male reproduction organ. It shows such a tremendous variation in size as well as length. Apart for these measures most penises aren't alike anyway; we talk about different curvature, upwards pointing, color and much more. But if you want figures, most men measure in at between 3.5 to 8 inches. For most size really does not matter that much, but if you are at the lower end of the scale there are male cosmetic procedures available, often refer to as phalloplasty or penile enlargement.
Lengthening or enlarging your penis can really boost self-esteem and also help quite a bit when it comes to sexual enjoyment. If it has an extreme curvature sexual penetration can be painful. These are all important aspects to bring up in the counseling with your male plastic surgeon. Most surgeons underline the huge importance of maturity and emotional stability of the patient, so therefore it is also important to think the issue through. What is bothering you the most, what is most important for you to change, is it your own idea to seek out a surgeon?
As always when speaking about plastic surgery in general and male cosmetic surgery in particular, it is important that the patient has realistic expectations of the surgical outcome. While surgery may both add and subtract, most times a change to what is already there is the cosmetically most reasonable option. As a patient about to undergo any kind of surgery one should always be aware of potential risks and complications. Being put to sleep under general anesthesia is always a equivalent to a risk, although a small one.
Let us talk about surgical methods available. The first one lengthens the penis by the release of ligaments and other structures fastening the organ to the pelvis. Very carefully the surgeon dissects through the upper part of the pelvis and makes the lengthening process possible. During method number two the male plastic surgeon injects fat taken from other parts of the patient's body. This usually involves the abdomen. Both types of phalloplasty operations are performed in general anesthesia. This means that you are hard at sleep. The surgical procedures usually take between one and two hours, meaning outpatient surgery is most commonly the logistic solution.
Nowadays there is also a new procedure available in the area of phalloplasty and penile enlargement. The cosmetic surgeon uses a special laser tool to detach ligaments, leading to the advantage of smaller incisions in addition to less swelling, bruising, pain and also faster healing. As the incisions are shorter the amount of scar tissue produced will also be minimized. This is important as scar tissue may later on obstruct the penis lengthening and therefore this new method generally produces better results.
So there you go - results can be obtained. But they are limited to the patient's anatomy. There are several surgical methods available, so remember to ask if the clinic uses the newer laser assisted methods.
