What Is a Buried Penis?

A buried penis is a condition in which the penile shaft is hidden beneath surrounding tissue, often causing hygiene issues, sexual difficulties, and reduced confidence. At Moorgate Andrology, our experienced UK surgeons provide safe, effective surgical correction, restoring both function and appearance.

For men interested in enhancing length or girth in addition to correcting a buried penis, see our Penis Enlargement Surgery page.

Buried penis can result from:

  • Excess pubic fat or weight gain

  • Skin laxity due to aging or prior surgery

  • Congenital issues (present from birth)

  • Scar tissue from previous circumcision or trauma

Symptoms include difficulty exposing the shaft, hygiene challenges, and sexual concerns. Understanding the condition early allows for better surgical outcomes.

Symptoms and concerns

Penis appears shorter than expect

Reduced sexual confidence

Difficulty cleaning beneath skin folds

Discomfort during urination or intercourse

Surgical correction: Whats involved

Buried penis surgery typically includes:

  1. Fat and skin removal – trimming excess tissue around the shaft

  2.  

  3. Ligament release – freeing the suspensory ligament if indicated

  4.  

  5. Skin tightening or grafting – restoring natural contour

  6.  

All procedures are performed in CQC-registered UK facilities by specialist surgeons.


Patients interested in both function and appearance may also benefit from combined penis enlargement surgery.
