What Is a Buried Penis?

A buried penis is a condition in which the penis appears abnormally short or hidden beneath the surrounding skin, fat, or scar tissue.

Unlike a micropenis, the actual penile shaft is of normal size, but it is concealed either partially or completely beneath the pubic area. This can lead to difficulties with hygiene, urination, sexual function, and self-confidence.

Buried penis in adults is often the result of anatomical changes over time, including weight gain, ageing, or complications from previous surgery. In some cases, it can also be congenital, meaning present from birth but worsening with age.

Common Causes of Buried Penis

There are several reasons why the penis may become hidden from view, including:

  • Obesity – Excess fat in the lower abdomen and pubic region can cover the base of the penis.
  • Scar Tissue – Following circumcision or other surgeries, adhesions can cause retraction.
  • Skin Laxity – Ageing or significant weight loss can cause loose, sagging skin to obscure the shaft.
  • Congenital Factors – In some cases, the penis is poorly anchored or surrounded by tight skin from birth.

 

Understanding the underlying cause is key to choosing the right surgical correction.

How We Treat It

At Moorgate Andrology, we tailor each treatment plan to the individual’s anatomy and goals. Surgical options include:

  • Fat Pad Removal – Removes the excess fatty tissue in the pubic region that covers part of the penis.
  • Suspensory Ligament Release – Frees more of the shaft from the body, increasing visible length.
  • Skin Tightening or Pubic Lift – Lifts and secures the skin around the pubic area to prevent retraction.

 

These procedures are often combined in one session to provide the most effective and natural-looking result. Your surgeon will advise on the best combination based on your specific needs.
