Injection of petroleum derivatives, mineral oils, and other products into the penis area can lead to severe and irreversible complications, including deformity, loss of function, erectile dysfunction, chronic inflammation, necrosis, and even amputation. Often, paraffin is injected by non-medical persons or on its own, which increases the risk of infection and damage to anatomical structures.
Paraffinomas are accumulations of foreign material that cannot be broken down by the body. They penetrate tissues, disrupt their structure and cause severe pain, wounds, deformity and serious psychological consequences. It is possible to migrate the material to adjacent areas such as the testicles, pubis and others.
It is important that you are at least 18 years old, have a stable weight, good general health, personal motivation for the operation and realistic expectations for the result.
Before the procedure, the plastic surgeon will talk to you about all your questions and expectations. The choice of a breast lift method is carried out individually, together with the specialist. Women who are planning pregnancy and breastfeeding are usually advised to postpone surgery.
Informed consent is a mandatory document that contains a detailed description of the procedure, possible risks and complications, anesthesia and financial conditions. It is signed after careful familiarization and the opportunity to ask questions to the plastic surgeon or anesthesiologist.
1
A thorough assessment is carried out by ultrasound, MRI and physical examination. The distribution and depth of paraffinomas are assessed.
2
Infiltrated tissues are removed to a depth determined according to the spread of foreign material. In most cases, skin removal is also required. The defect is covered with a skin autograft or with adjacent tissues according to the patient's condition.
3
It is possible to carry out more than one operation – first to remove the material, and then to restore function and appearance. The method and the number of interventions are determined by the surgeon based on individual characteristics.
4
Recovery includes wearing bandages, taking antibiotics and strictly following the directions. Full patient assistance is critical to avoid complications.
Revision surgery: It is performed after a complication or unsatisfactory aesthetic result.
The incisions are made along the old marks. Recovery is faster and easier.
If there is body hair in the area of surgical intervention, it should be shaved immediately before surgery.
