10 Things They Don’t Tell You About Penis Enlargement Surgery

Penis enlargement surgery is becoming more popular in the UK — yet many men go into the process without knowing some of the most important details.

Here are 10 truths every patient should know before choosing penis enlargement surgery at Moorgate Andrology.

1. Girth Results Are Permanent (But Settle Over 3 Months)

Fat transfer gives permanent girth, but expect 30–40% reduction before stabilising.

2. Erect Length Increase Is Marginal

We always emphasise this — flaccid length improves well, but erect length gain varies and is usually small.

3. Traction Is Absolutely Essential After Length Surgery

Without traction, the ligaments may heal in a shortened position.
Expect 6–12 months of regular device use.

4. You Shouldn’t Expect Perfect Symmetry

No penis is naturally symmetrical — surgery will enhance, not redesign anatomy.

5. Girth Increase Is Often More Noticeable Than Length

Most patients report the biggest confidence boost from girth rather than length.

6. You Will Need to Avoid Sexual Activity for 6 Weeks

This includes intercourse and masturbation.
Healing is the priority.

7. The Results Improve Over Time

Swelling, fat integration, and scar softening all evolve over 3–6 months.

8. Fat Transfer Feels Natural

Unlike fillers, fat feels like natural tissue and moves with the penis.

9. You May Want a Top-Up for Optimal Girth

Not compulsory — but many patients choose a second fat transfer in the future..

10. Choosing a Urologist Matters

Non-medical providers are increasingly offering “quick fixes” with fillers or unregulated treatments.
For safety and long-term results, a Urologist-led team is essential.
