Permanent Penis Thickening with Grafts

Permanent Penis Thickening with Grafts

Permanent penis thickening with grafts is a surgical procedure performed to increase penile girth in men. It aims to improve both the size and the aesthetic appearance of the penis and can increase self-confidence. Compared with other methods, the use of grafts offers more durable and more natural results.

Use of Grafts and the Procedure

In graft based thickening, grafts obtained either from the patient's own body tissue or from synthetic materials are used. The grafts are placed within the penis and integrate with the body's own tissue over time. This method offers a solution that is both safe and effective.

Graft Selection

Natural grafts are obtained from the patient's own body tissue, whereas synthetic grafts are produced in a laboratory environment.

Types of Graft

Grafts fall into two main categories, natural and synthetic. Natural grafts consist of the patient's own fat tissue, dermal (skin) tissue or tissue taken from another region of the body. Synthetic grafts are produced from biocompatible materials and carry a low probability of rejection by the body.

Natural Grafts

1. Fat grafts: performed using the patient's own fat tissue.
2. Dermal grafts: performed using subcutaneous tissue.

Synthetic Grafts

1. Silicone based grafts: biocompatible silicone materials produced in a laboratory environment.
2. Collagen grafts: collagen materials compatible with body tissue.

The Surgical Procedure and Recovery

The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia and takes a few hours. After the operation patients usually stay in hospital for one night and then continue their recovery at home. During recovery patients are advised to avoid sexual activity and strenuous physical activity.

Recovery Period

There is generally a recovery period of two to four weeks after the operation. Swelling and bruising of the penis may occur during this time.

Results and Durability

Graft based thickening offers long term and durable results. Natural grafts integrate completely with body tissue over time and increase girth. Synthetic grafts are also long lasting and are accepted by the body. Both graft types provide aesthetically satisfying results.

Risks and Side Effects

As with any surgical procedure, graft based thickening carries certain risks and possible side effects. Infection, rejection of the graft by the body or displacement of the graft may occur, although rarely. For this reason the experience and expertise of the surgeon performing the procedure are extremely important.

Permanent penis thickening with grafts is a safe and effective method for increasing girth and improving aesthetic appearance. Performed by an experienced surgeon with the correct choice of graft, the procedure provides long term and satisfying results. It can raise quality of life by increasing self-confidence.
