Factors such as genetic makeup, ethnicity, nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy or the early stages of life, and hormonal irregularities can lead to differences in the size and thickness of the penis. At the same time, the aging process can also be counted among the factors that cause penis size to decrease. Penis size can affect individuals’ behavior and self-confidence due to the psychological context that this feature establishes between masculinity and power.
As men begin to understand their sexual identity, penis size becomes an important issue and the thought that the penis has not reached the ideal size can cause physical and psychological distress. It is quite common for men who experience inadequacy in sexual satisfaction, anxiety about not being able to satisfy their partner and face negative emotions brought on by this situation to experience sexual dysfunctions such as performance anxiety, premature ejaculation and erection problems. If the penis length and circumference are below ideal measurements or if the person is concerned about the current size of his penis, it may be possible to eliminate these problems with penis enlargement and thickening operations.
A surgical procedure in which the length and thickness of the penis is increased is called a penis enlargement operation. The operation can include both lengthening and thickening of the penis. Penis lengthening surgery, which offers a permanent solution for men who are concerned about sexual satisfaction or penis length, cannot be performed with medication or a non-surgical method. The most common method is based on cutting 80% of the suspensory ligament that connects the penis to the abdominal wall and removing the remaining part of the penis inside the body.
The suspensory ligament connects the penis to the pubic bone. Cutting this ligament by 80% removes the support that allows part of the penis to be kept inside the body, so the penis appears longer both at rest and in erection.
What is a Normal Penis Size?
Under normal circumstances, it is not correct to limit the normal or ideal penis size to precise values. Basically, penis sizes that do not make it difficult for men to urinate and have the functions of performing sexual functions and satisfying the partner can be considered ideal. On the other hand, when talking about the ideal penis length, one should not only focus on the length of the penis. At the same time, penis diameter is as important as penis length. Because penis diameter directly affects the pleasure couples receive during sexual intercourse. However; If the penis length is 13.12 cm in erection and the penis thickness is 11.66 cm, normal or ideal values can be mentioned.
Micropenis, a condition in which the penis is not long enough for sexual intercourse and sexual satisfaction, can be caused by genetic and hormonal problems. If the penis is 9.3 cm or shorter when erect, it is possible to talk about the presence of micropenis. Men who do not have ideal penis sizes or who have a large penis by standards but have various psychological problems, especially performance anxiety related to penis size, can have a longer and thicker penis with penis enlargement surgery. In this way, they can achieve a more satisfying sexual life for both themselves and their partners.
What Should Be Considered After Penis Enlargement Surgery?
As with plastic surgery, there are some points to be considered after penis enlargement surgery. After the surgery, it is important to increase water consumption for the first 3 days to remove the body from the narcosis effect. Sports and exercises that may cause blood pressure to rise should be avoided for 2 weeks. Again, alcohol and cigarette consumption is not recommended during the recovery period.
It is recommended not to take a bath and not to wear tight and tight clothes in the first week following penis enlargement surgery. Sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least 4 weeks after the operation. If there is a special underwear or compression bandage recommended by the doctor, their use should not be interrupted.
Curiosities About Penis Enlargement
There is an average size difference of 2 to 3 cm between before and after penis enlargement surgery. The tendons in the area where the penis connects to the pelvis are freed and the penis is lengthened. Lengthening can also be achieved by removing excess fat under the abdomen with liposuction method and exposing the root of the penis. If there is fat under the abdomen due to weight gain after the operation, the penis returns to its former length.
Liposuction method can also be used for penis thickening. Fat taken from the appropriate parts of the body by liposuction method is injected into the penis. Thanks to penis thickening surgery, both the thickness of the unerect limb and the thickness of the erect penis are increased. On the other hand, after fat injection, the injected fat may melt over time and the thickness of the penis may decrease. Although it varies individually, the thickness of the penis is restored within an average of 2 to 4 years.
The number of hours of penis enlargement surgery may vary depending on the procedure performed and the scope of the procedures. There will be differences in the duration of surgery if only penis lengthening is performed and lengthening and thickening are performed together. Therefore, it can be stated that the duration of the surgery varies individually. The recovery process after penile aesthetic surgeries may also vary depending on many different factors depending on the individual.
