It has become a frequently asked and demanded surgery in recent years. The most frequently asked question is to whom should these surgeries be performed? What is the ideal penis size for this? How can penis enlargement be done, is there a method other than surgery?
Penis size may differ depending on races, genetic characteristics and nutrition and hormonal exposure, especially in the womb and infancy. If the penis length is less than 7 cm, we call it micropenis. There may be many genetic and hormonal reasons for this. According to studies conducted in Turkey, the mean penile length was found to be 13.3±3 cm in erection and 8.9 cm in thickness. Studies have reported that the ideal penile length should be 13-13.5 cm in erection and 10-11 cm in thickness.
In another study, it was determined that 85% of women were satisfied with the penis length of their partners, although 55% of the same men were not satisfied with their own penis length. In another study with women, it was reported that the most important factor after performance was not length, but thickness.
Although it is said that penis enlargement is possible with drugs, devices, etc., this is not correct information. Penis enlargement is only possible with surgery.
Penis enlargement surgeries consist of Penis Lengthening and Penis Enlargement surgeries.
It would not be right to think of penis enlargement surgeries as just a plastic surgery. This surgery may be required especially in people whose penis size is below normal, who experience insufficient satisfaction during intercourse, who have loss of self-confidence due to penis size, and who have insufficient partner satisfaction. In addition, although they have the ideal penis size, the number of patients demanding this surgery is also quite high.
The most commonly used method to lengthen the penis is the surgery that allows the penis to come forward and lengthen by cutting 70-80% of the suspensory ligament, which we call the suspensory ligament that connects the penis to the abdominal wall. It is possible with an operation that takes 1-1.5 hours under general or spinal anesthesia.
With this method, it is possible to achieve an average of 2-4 cm elongation. What should be known here is that this amount may change according to the anatomy of the patient.
After this surgery, it is necessary to do some stretching exercises in order for the elongation to be permanent and to remain in the most ideal size. This should be done for at least 4-6 weeks until the tissues heal and become permanent.
Penis enlargement surgery is also known as fat injection. First of all, adipose tissue is collected from a 3-4 mm incision around the patient's abdomen with the help of an aspirator and an injector. The collected oil is passed through special filtering processes. Adipose tissue that has a suitable consistency is injected around the penis. In this way, adequate thickening is provided, although it varies according to the capacity of the penis. It can be absorbed over time, as it is the human's own adipose tissue. After about 6 months, the fat decreases between 50-60%. Depending on the patient's satisfaction and demand, the procedure can be repeated after 6 months.
After penis enlargement surgery, it is sufficient for the patient to stay in the hospital for 1 day. After the operation, she cannot have intercourse for weeks, and she can start her sexually active life the next week. Lengthening and thickening surgeries can be performed separately or together in the same session.
In patients who do not want or cannot have surgery, fillers can be used as an alternative to fat injection. Hyaluronic acid, which is also used as lip and face filler, can also be used for penis thickening. Hyaluronic acid is actually a substance found in the human body. Therefore, we do not expect any serious reactions or side effects. It is a procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia without requiring surgery, even in polyclinic conditions, and takes approximately 15-20 minutes. Since the filling material will be absorbed at the end of an average of 3-9 months, it melts in a shorter time compared to fat injection. As with fat injection, it is a repeatable process.
