Preparing for the penis lengthening procedure
To prepare the patient for an increase in the length of the penis, the doctor will conduct examinations and prescribe the necessary tests before the operation:
- OAK + clotting time, OAM;
- identification of group affiliation, Rh-factor;
- screening for HIV infection, RW, viral hepatitis B and C;

Ligamentotomy implies a preliminary examination by an andrologist and an anesthesiologist-resuscitator. On the day of the operation, it is forbidden to eat or drink water.
Ligamentotomy process
Ligamentotomy is a technically simple method. During ligamentotomy, general anesthesia and a local type of anesthesia - epidural anesthesia - are used. Thanks to the latest techniques, the duration of ligamentotomy is no more than 20 minutes, and the stages of a surgical operation to increase the length of the penis are sequential and have the following course:
- the surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum;
- exposes the connective tissue fibers of the supporting ligament located in the pubic region and dissects them with a scalpel;
- pulls out the hidden part of the penis, fixes it and sutures the wound.
Ligamentotomy itself does not lead to an increase in the penis, it only creates the conditions for this. The result can be achieved while wearing a special device after ligamentotomy.
Complications after ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy in rare cases leads to complications. The consequences of surgical lengthening of the penis are as follows:
- postoperative bleeding;
- infection;
- erectile disorders;
- unstable position of the organ during intimacy;
- deformation or curvature of the penis.
This may arise due to technical difficulties during ligamentotomy or insufficient qualifications of the operating person.
Rehabilitation period after penis enlargement surgery
After the ligamentotomy operation, the rehabilitation period begins, requiring monitoring of the patient's condition and special care. They control the functions of the respiratory and heart organs after anesthesia, process the stitches and monitor their healing.
During the stay in the hospital, the doctor prescribes bed rest for the patient so that recovery after lengthening the penis surgically passes without consequences and after discharge gives the following recommendations:
- periodically be examined by a doctor;
- continue taking antibiotics and pain medications;
- observe personal hygiene;
- exclude sexual intercourse for three weeks;
- do not wear tight underwear;

- use the extender for about three months.
Full recovery after ligamentotomy occurs within six months. The altered ligament prevents the inner part of the penis from returning to its original position. If all recommendations are followed, ligamentotomy will bring the desired results.
