Introduction
Worried about the size of your genitals? Then this article is for you!
Aesthetic genital surgery is primarily concerned with improving the appearance of the genitals. Poorly appearing genitals may be a source of frustration and depression amongst people and here the plastic surgeon can play a pivotal role to allay anxiety and to improve their confidence.
When considering aesthetic genital surgery in males the primary procedures that are requested by the patients are penile enlargement and improvement of the appearance of their scrotum.
Groups
When categorizing patients desirous of aesthetic genital surgery, it is found that they fall into 2 groups: one group has a definite anatomic abnormality which they desire to get corrected and another group comprises of patients having normal genitals who are motivated on seeing pornographic photographs or videos and desire penile enlargement based on what they have seen in those.
Counseling
All patients requesting genital surgery should have proper psychological counseling beforehand because associated self-esteem issues can be handled with appropriate counseling. Following this, patients can be subjected to surgery after they have been apprised of the details.
Penile Length Increase
Penile length increase is achieved by releasing the ligament which keeps the penis in place followed by a period of postoperative stretching which is extremely important. In fact, patients have to consent to using a postoperative stretching device because, without it, the results would not be optimal.
Penile Girth Increase
The girth of the penis can be increased by injection of fat into the penis as also by insertion of additional tissues like Alloderm which can be pretty expensive. Tissues rejected during a concomitant procedure like abdominoplasty can also be used in increasing the girth of the penis. Apart from these, dermal grafts, dermofat grafts as well as various types of flaps can be used to increase the girth of the penis.
Buried Penis Surgery
Buried penis surgery is a special technique done in patients where the penile length is normal but is hidden under an excess of fat and skin in the lower abdomen. This surgery removes that extra skin and fat and anchors the penis to its normal position thereby bringing back the penis to its original length.
Scrotoplasty
Some men complain of a hanging scrotum which might look extremely awkward. In these patients, a partial excision of the scrotum or a scrotoplasty can be achieved to make it look much more acceptable. Additionally, there can be webs between the penis and the scrotum which can be managed by a simple operation.
Side Effects
No surgery is without the risk of having side effects and these procedures are also not an exception. For details about side effects of individual surgeries, please contact Prof. Adhikari.
