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:
-
Fat and skin removal – trimming excess tissue around the shaft
-
Ligament release – freeing the suspensory ligament if indicated
-
Skin tightening or grafting – restoring natural contour
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.
