As beauty standards are constantly changing, penis enlargement is becoming a hot topic. So is penis enlargement a trend for modern men? Let’s listen to MSc, MD. Dinh Huu Viet – Head of Andrology Department, Andrology and Fertility Hospital of Hanoi sharing.
Currently, men are interested in penis enlargement for many reasons, mostly due to a sense of inferiority complex in front of their partners. Some believe that penis size is considered a symbol of strength and masculinity, so when do not meet this base standard, men tend to look for ways to increase the penile size.
With the development of medicine, there are many methods to help men improve penis size, each method will have its own advantages and disadvantages, so men need to explore carefully before deciding to increase the size if they hold the belief that their penis is “lower the bar”.
- Penis enlargement with autograft materials
- Fat transfer: Doctor takes fat from other areas of the patient’s body such as the inner thighs or abdomen through liposuction, cleans-up the fat and then injects them directly under the skin of the penis. This procedure can increase the penile girth by 30-50%, but the long-term results are very unpredictable. The fat tends to be easily absorbed back into the body, causing a significant reduction in penile girth. But the more complicated is that the fat degenerate unevenly – leaving a lumpy, uneven penile shape.
- Dermal Fat Graft Augmentation: This technique tends to produce much more stable and long-lasting results than fat transfer. The main limitation of this technique is large incision made in the gluteal fold. In some cases, it immediately forms small scars like hairlines that are almost invisible, but in other cases the scars grow more prominent and are clearly visible.
- Artificial materials from placement
- Silicone implants (various sizes): The doctor will place a crescent-shaped piece of silicone inside the penis to make it larger, this method has little effect on sexual arousal. Men can also remove it when they no longer need it. However, the silicone piece can be detected when touched.
- Filler injection: Filler is injected in the correct dosage at the glans, body, and root of the penis without affecting the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. After injection, the amount of filler can be used for 1.5 to 2 years and then gradually dissolves.
- Inserting beads: Placing beads may help men improve the length and size of their penis. Depending on the number of beads and the type of beads (agate beads, glass beads, pearl beads, silicone beads, etc.) installed, the penis can increase by a few centimeters. Men can choose to install mobile beads or fixed beads. Placing beads brings some aesthetic benefits but also comes with risks such as infection, bleeding and allergic reactions to the bead’s material.
- Biological implants: The implant has the ability to naturally integrate and exist permanently in the human body, becoming living tissue like other normal parts of the body without being considered a foreign object. Biological implants are highly aesthetic, the risk of rejection is extremely rare and come in many different sizes. After surgery, the penis circumference can increase from 2.5 – 5cm. Currently, the cost of this method is quite high and requires the experience of the surgeon.
MSc, MD. Dinh Huu Viet recommends: “Increasing penis size is a proper desire of men. However, only when the penis is too short and small, causing poor sexual performance, affecting the psychology and desires of men and their partners, so they should undergo plastic surgery to improve the length and circumference of the penis.”
“Men need to go to a licensed medical facility with modern equipment, a sterile operating room, and a surgeon who is a specialist in andrology and/or plastic surgery to receive the best support for penis reconstruction.” Dr. Viet said.
Currently, Andrology and Fertility Hospital ò Hanoi has successfully performed many penis enlargement surgeries, helping men significantly improve the size of their penis, regaining confidence and competence in sexual intercourse. In addition to seeking size-enhancing surgeries, men should also focus on maintaining general health, improving psychological confidence and creating a healthy lifestyle, which will bring long-term and sustainable benefits./.
