The surgical method for thickening the penis by transplanting skin and fat valves is a response to the short-term effect of subcutaneous lipofilling. If we compare this method of penis enlargement with the introduction of fat cells, it requires great professional skills.
Thickening of the penis with skin and fat valves implies more complex intervention, as well as a high risk of injury. Therefore, before performing the operation, the patient must weigh the pros and cons.
Penis enlargement by skin and fat valve transplantation
The duration of the operation in question, performed under general anesthesia, is several hours. It all starts with the collection of transplants. Most often they are transplanted from the patient's gluteal area, as this subcutaneous layer is characterized by a higher density and number of connective tissue barriers. You can also use skin and fat valves 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 cannot be limited to just one implant. After suturing the defective areas of the donor area, incisions are made in the shaft of the penis. The flaps of skin and fat are inserted by a specialist under the upper layers of the skin of the phallus. When the transplant process is complete, the surgeon sutures the incisions.
As already mentioned, donor skin and fat valves are most often taken from the gluteal area. This material boasts a lower fat content, which is why it does not lose so much density during the transplant process. The adipose tissue cells of the gluteal valves 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 have a negative impact on both a man's self-esteem and his success in intimate life. As a result, the indications for surgery are of a medical, psychological and aesthetic nature.
As for contraindications, the man will have to undergo an examination before undergoing penis thickening surgery. Surgery will be questionable if the patient is facing mental, genitourinary, cardiovascular or immune problems.
It is important to pay attention to the ability of the blood to clot, as well as to make sure 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 and inflammatory processes.
Rehabilitation period and results
On the one hand, transplantation of skin and fat valves allows to achieve a longer effect of lipofilling, but on the other hand, implants devoid of epidermis can be rejected because there is insufficient blood supply to the material used. The risks of changing the contours of the penis shaft due to the uneven density of natural grafts should not be ruled out.
In view of the high risk of rejection of skin and fat blocks and the appearance of inflammatory processes, specialists are increasingly discouraging patients from such surgery, recommending a procedure with a muscle valve transplant.
Such an operation allows to maintain the proper blood supply to the grafts, and also ensures thickening of the penis for life.
The advantages and disadvantages of using oily skin valves include the following:
- , in contrast to lipofilling, a more stable result is observed;
- despite the scars, the aesthetics are preserved in the donor area; The material used has minimal loss of density.
Disadvantages:
- financial side of the issue;
- risks of rejection of skin and fat valves;
- the probability of deformation of the trunk of the phallus;
- the risk of suppuration of a postoperative wound.
