Many men are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their penis. But if the penis is much smaller than average, it dramatically impacts self-confidence. International studies show an erect state size of between 4 and 26 centimeters. The average penis length in Germany is 13 centimeters. Some men even suffer from small penis syndrome. They feel inadequate with a more normal size because they have had bad experiences. Or they think they are below average because they perceive the girth as too small. We speak of a so-called micropenis from a length of 7.5 centimeters. However, only 2 to 3 percent of the male population suffer from this. All of them can be helped - with an operation that also builds up the men's self-confidence. It often consists of two procedures: penis lengthening and penis thickening.
The Most Common Reasons for Penis Enlargement:
- When flaccid, the penis measures only about 4 centimeters
- When erect, the penis measures only about 7.5 centimeters
- Unsatisfactory sex
- Personal suffering from a too thin penis
- Feeling of shame, combined with impaired self-confidence
- Fear of showing oneself undressed in front of the sexual partner
The Penis Enlargement Procedure
In a penis augmentation, the plastic surgeon cuts through the front inner retaining ligaments attached to the pubic bone via a triangular incision in the pubic area about 3 centimeters long and creates a new attachment using the body's own material. In this way, the inner oblique part of the male member shifts outward, and a visible lengthening is created. Depending on the strength of this elastic ligament, which connects the base of the penis to the abdominal wall and pubic bone, the penis lengthens. The length gained depends on the angle of inclination of the penis, the ligament structures, and the length of the connecting cartilages of the pelvic bones. A gain of two to six centimeters is realistic. The length gained depends on the ligamentum suspensorium penis. Here is an example: if you have an erection length of 11 centimeters before surgery and 14 centimeters after surgery, you have gained a third more length. Before the operation, the procedure is discussed once again and carefully planned. The attending specialist applies an anesthetic ointment so that the injection of the local anesthetic is hardly noticeable. If desired, twilight sleep or general anesthesia can be induced, but from the medical point of view, this is not necessary in most cases.
- A triangular incision is made in the pubic area.
- During the operation, the plastic-aesthetic surgeon cuts the anterior internal retaining ligaments.
- The inner, oblique part of the penis is straightened, and thus the visible part is lengthened.
- The incision is finely stitched with self-dissolving sutures and covered with a plaster.
The procedure in the intimate area lasts about 1 hour. The girdle which needs to be worn supports the regeneration and prevents dents and should be worn consistently for a few weeks or months to guarantee the best possible result. The procedure lasts between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the effort required.
After the operation
The pain after penis lengthening is minimal. A slight soreness after the anesthesia wears off is normal. A painkiller provides relief on the first day. Immediately after plastic surgery, the area is swollen and should be cooled regularly. Light sports are possible again after one week, and the penis is fully functional again after six weeks. During this time, extreme physical stress and sex are taboo. To let the small scar heal as invisibly as possible, scar care is recommended in the morning and evening.
