Is There A Lot of Swelling After Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Sure, that’s what you wanted wasn’t it?  Now if only you could keep that penis swollen without the pain. Well fortunately for you, the swelling will go down. As it should, because swelling is actually an inflammation of the tissues. And swelling that doesn’t go down could lead to more serious complications.

So, with any invasive procedure, where incisions are made inside the body, you have both internal swelling and external swelling to deal with. The body is smart in many ways, but sometimes it can’t tell the hero from the invaders.

And when the body sees itself being cut, it immediately sends aid in the form of white blood cells to ward off what it thinks are invaders. The next thing you know, these rescuers all combine forces to produce an edema, or swelling of the tissues.

Reduce Swelling After Phalloplasty Surgery

After the dressing comes off, don’t be shocked when you look down. Expect to look worse before you look better. All penis enlargement procedures produce swelling and bruising. They peak in 2-3 days. As they fade you will start seeing your long-awaited results.

Until then, here are home remedies to reduce the swelling:

  • Ice.  Apply an ice pack to the surgical site, avoiding sutures. Prevent frostbite by alternating on and off. Failure to apply ice may result in prolong swelling.
  • Elevation.  When prone elevate your penis above the level of your heart to help promote drainage, reduce swelling and speed healing.
  • Vitamins and Supplements.  Continue taking your multi-vitamin, except for the blood-thinner vitamin E, no more than 200 mg per day.
  • Herbs.  Bromelain and arnica are known swelling-reducers. Gingko biloba allows for increased circulation to the extremities.
  • Medication.  Your surgeon may prescribe a short course of anti-inflammatory steroids. Limit your use of acetaminophen-based drugs such as Tylenol.

Choose a Qualified Male Penis Enhancement Surgeon Only

The delicate maneuvers of penis enlargement surgeries require the skill and experience of a board certified plastic surgeon. The use of any other type of physician would be at your own risk.
