The surgical method of thickening the penis by transplanting skin and fat valves is a response to the short-term effect of subcutaneous lipophilization. If we compare this method of penis enlargement with the introduction of fat cells, then great professional skills are required.
Thickening of the penis with skin and oily flaps implies a more complex intervention, as well as a high risk of injury. Therefore, before performing surgery, the patient should weigh the advantages and disadvantages.
Penis enlargement by skin and fat valve transplantation
The duration of the operation under general anesthesia is several hours. It all starts with collecting grafts. They are most often transplanted from the patient's gluteal area, because this subcutaneous layer is characterized by a higher density and the number of connective tissue barriers. You can also use skin flaps and ointments taken from the groin area.
The area of the material taken directly depends on the size of the male genital organ. As a result, the surgeon may not limit himself to just one implant. After suturing the damaged areas of the donor area, incisions are made on the axis of the penis. Skin and oily flaps are inserted by a specialist under the upper layers of the skin of the phallus. When the transplant procedure is complete, the surgeon sutures the incisions.
As already mentioned, donor skin and oily flaps are most often taken from the gluteal area. This material boasts a lower fat content, so it does not lose as much density during the transplant process. The adipose tissue cells of the gluteal lobes in the process of sitting experience the pressure of the trunk, therefore they have a denser structure.
What are the indications and contraindications
Unsatisfactory penis thickness can lead to serious psychological problems. This can negatively affect a man’s self-esteem and his success in intimate life. As a result, the indications for surgery are medical, psychological and aesthetic in nature.
As for contraindications, a man will have to undergo an examination before performing penile thickening surgery. Surgical intervention will be questionable if the patient faces mental, genitourinary, cardiovascular, or immune problems.
It is important to pay attention to the ability of blood to clot, as well as to ensure that there is no damage to the skin of the penis and the donor area (gluteal, groin). The list of contraindications is supplemented by diabetes mellitus and inflammatory processes.
Rehabilitation period and results
On the one hand, transplantation of skin and fatty lobes allows to achieve a longer effect than lipophilization, but on the other hand, implants devoid of epidermis can be rejected because there is an inadequate blood supply of the material used. Risks of changing the contours of the penis trunk due to the uneven density of natural grafts should not be ruled out.
Given the high risk of rejection of skin and fat blocks and the occurrence of inflammatory processes, specialists are increasingly discouraging patients from such surgery, recommending a procedure with muscle flap transplantation.
Such an operation allows to maintain the proper blood supply to the graft, and also guarantees the thickening of the penis for life.
The advantages and disadvantages of using oily skin switches include the following:
- , unlike lipofilling, a more stable result is observed;
- despite the scars, the aesthetics are preserved in the donor area; The
- material used has minimal density loss.
Disadvantages:
- financial side of the problem;
- risks of rejection of skin and oily folds;
- probability of phallus trunk deformation;
- risk of postoperative wound suppuration.
