Dissatisfaction with penis length or girth can be depressing. This affects self-confidence not only in the bedroom, but in all areas of life. If insecurity about the shape of your penis is taking over your life, it’s worth exploring the options, for example, surgery. The founder of GP Clinic (Lithuania) and surgeon Gintaras Papechkys tells more about it.
The surgeon explains that penis enlargement surgery exists and many men need it. From the highest to the lowest status in society. This is something that is not determined by a person’s education or consciousness, but rather by the subconscious. As the surgeon calls it – nature’s call.
What makes men enlarge their penis? What determines this desire more – psychological or physiological problems?
Those who would actually need surgery (those with an underdeveloped penis, otherwise known as a micropenis) are rare. Most men have a normal penis. Their problems arise subconsciously. Such a man seems to lack something. Sometimes this motivation is hard to realize. It is not a disease or abnormality. Simple instinct.
Who is suitable for penis enlargement surgery? When would you recommend forgoing the procedure?
The doctor must be adequately prepared to perform this operation. First, they must understand the person who has come. When a man reveals his reasons for wanting this surgery, an unprepared doctor can sometimes misunderstand and misjudge the reasons. They may try to dissuade the patient from surgery. But then the problem is not solved and the patient looks for another doctor.
I refuse to operate if I see that the wishes of the person who came are unrealistic. If I can’t implement them. A mutual agreement is required between us. I have to understand what the patient wants. He needs to understand what I can do.
What are unrealistic desires?
Misconceptions about how big the penis will be after surgery. In fact, it is enough to increase the penis by a few centimeters. Although we surgeons joke that a man will feel that it has increased by a kilometer. This shows how important this operation is to a man’s self-esteem.
Often men come after a divorce. They believe that their penis is the reason for divorce. I always ask, “Why didn’t you figure this out when you were still together?” and I usually don’t get a straight answer. In fact, such patients are at a disadvantage. Penis enlargement does not solve the problem that caused it. It does not bring back the ex-partner.
What is characteristic of patients?
I evaluate each patient individually. I don’t compare them to others. The unifying factor is that the penile problem in men develops during puberty. They start thinking about it from the age of 16. They compare themselves with others and feel uncomfortable. Such a man can come at the age of 30, 50 and more. And they all regret coming so late.
Opinions about penis enlargement are mostly negative. The people around do not support. Men have no one to consult. If he tries to talk about it, he just gets discouraged. Therefore, they think that there is no point in going to the consultation earlier.
Wives also don’t support a husband’s desire to enlarge his penis?
Lately, husbands come after consulting their wives. I have performed penis enlargement surgeries for many years. I see that society is gradually changing its attitude towards it. Women don’t think their men need a bigger penis. However, they understand that this operation is not intended for the penis itself, but for the man to feel psychologically stronger during sexual intercourse. To end complexes. The women then reply that their man has become much better in bed.
Can you say that penis enlargement surgery improves intercourse?
All women, when asked about it, answer that sex is wonderful.
Currently, two surgical methods of penis enlargement are known: separating the ligaments under the pubic bone and filling with their own fat. Which method is better? Why?
These are different operations. If the patient wants to lengthen the penis, the separation of the ligaments under the pubic bone is used. Filling with their own fat – when they want to increase the volume. The best effect is achieved by doing both.
After lengthening surgery, patients are usually satisfied with the result. Those who only add fat to the penis are often semi-disappointed.
Different sources indicate differently how much the penis can be enlarged. What is the correct answer? What improves results?
The penis can be enlarged by about 3-4 cm. We enlarge the penis according to the recognized surgical technique. The result depends on the part of the penis that is under the skin. We see 50% to 60% of the penis outside. During the operation, we pull out from the subcutaneous tissue the remaining part that lengthens the penis.
What postoperative effects can patients expect? How long is the post-procedure period?
Initial wound healing takes a week. Complete healing can take up to 3-4 weeks. Sometimes longer. Especially if the fat has been transplanted. Swelling remains in these places for some time. Such processes are patiently monitored. More serious complications, such as infection or bleeding, occur very rarely.
After the operation, the load should be limited. Certain activities or exercises that strain the abdominal muscles should be avoided for a few months.
What are the non-surgical alternatives to penis enlargement?
There are devices that are anatomically designed to lengthen the penis. They stretch the corpora cavernosa itself, to which blood flows during an erection. With careful stretching, about 1-2 cm of extension can be obtained, but the process requires a lot of patience and time.
