How ligament cut surgery works. A complete guide to penis enlargement surgery

Penis enlargement surgery has evolved significantly over the past decade, and one of the most frequently requested options is the suspensory ligament release — widely known as the ligament cut.

At Moorgate Andrology, our specialist urologists perform this procedure for men who want a permanent increase in visible length and a more confident appearance.

What Does the Suspensory Ligament Do?

The suspensory ligament acts like a supporting “bridge” between the pubic bone and the penis. A portion of every man’s internal shaft sits inside the body. The ligament holds it in place.

When released, this internal portion drops forward and becomes externally visible, giving the penis a longer appearance — especially when flaccid.

How the Surgery Is Performed

The operation is straightforward for an experienced surgeon:

• A small incision is made in the pubic area
• The suspensory ligament is carefully released
• The internal shaft extends outward
• Dissolvable stitches close the incision
• Scar placement is discreet and low on the abdomen

Ligament release is one component of modern penis enlargement surgery when used appropriately and combined with anchoring techniques.

What Kind of Gains Can You Expect?

Most men see between 2.5 and 5 cm increase in flaccid length.

Erect gains vary depending on individual anatomy.

Combining the Ligament Cut with Fillers

Many patients combine the ligament cut with hyaluronic acid girth fillers, creating a balanced enhancement in both length and thickness. It is one of the most popular treatment combinations at Moorgate.

Recovery and Aftercare

Aftercare is a crucial part of achieving and maintaining good results. We provide each patient with a personalised plan, which may include stretching, warm compress techniques, and wound care instructions.

Healing is usually straightforward, with most men back to light work within a few days.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Men who:

• Want a noticeable but natural length improvement
• Prefer permanent surgical results
• Are motivated to follow aftercare
• Have realistic expectations
