Penis enlargement surgery has become one of the most requested procedures for men looking to improve both size and confidence. But understandably, many men still ask: “Is it safe?”
At Moorgate Andrology, safety is always the top priority. Advances in surgical technique, better anaesthetic control, and tighter post-operative monitoring have made penis enlargement surgery in 2025 safer than ever before — when performed by a qualified Urologist in an approved surgical setting.
Over the last decade, penile enhancement procedures have evolved significantly.
At Moorgate Andrology, all penis enlargement surgeries are performed in CQC-registered hospitals under general anaesthetic, with fully qualified Consultant Urologists.
The key improvements include:
Shorter operating times, reducing anaesthetic exposure
Enhanced infection control protocols
Precision surgical instruments that minimise tissue trauma
Advanced fat purification techniques for smoother, more predictable results
Our patients also receive a detailed recovery plan tailored to their individual needs — something often overlooked at lower-cost or non-specialist clinics.

Like all surgery, penis enlargement carries some risks. The most common include:
Temporary swelling or bruising
Minor infection risk
Slight asymmetry between sides of the penis
These are generally short-lived and can be managed with proper care and antibiotics when required.
More serious complications, such as fat reabsorption or irregular contour, are rare and can often be corrected with minor follow-up adjustments.
At Moorgate Andrology, our Urologists personally manage every stage of recovery, ensuring that any issues are identified and resolved early.
Unfortunately, not all clinics offering “penis enlargement” procedures meet proper medical standards.
Some use non-surgical filler products, inject in unsafe environments, or have no surgical backup if complications occur.
If you’re comparing providers, make sure your surgeon:
Is a registered Consultant Urologist
Operates in a CQC-approved theatre
Provides follow-up appointments (in person or online)
Offers full transparency about risks, costs, and expected results
