November 2017
All patients aspiring to undergo penoplasty want their doctor to tell them they are the ideal candidate. The surgery can be adapted to a variety of anatomical and medical conditions, however there is a list of conditions for and against a good prognosis.
The ideal patient is between the ages of 20 and 45 years old, thin, with low body mass index, without excess fat and skin in the pubis, without chronic degenerative diseases (ie diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases, etc.). .) and a fundamental fact is the constitution of the patient during his adolescence. In this stage of life there is a faster growth of secondary sexual characteristics. In men there is a predominance of testosterone, but in the obese patient, if there is more fat, there is a greater production of estrogen, so the male genitals have lower growth than normal.
The patient of course will have a good result after being operated on, obtaining the growth figures indicated but the ideal patient can get 2 to 4 cm more than stipulated in daily practice and in the literature. There is no adequate forecast scale nowadays, but we do have minimum reference values that allow us to tell the patient that things are going well. Penis growth is not an isolated factor. In the following article why the beautification of the genital region. Because not only operate the penis but improve the structures around that will give you a better result.
