Is Penis Enlargement Surgery Permanent ?- Moorgate Andrology

One of the most common questions men ask when researching penis enlargement surgery is whether the results are permanent. With so much conflicting information online, it can be difficult to separate fact from myth.

At Moorgate Andrology, penis enlargement surgery is performed by GMC Specialist Urologists, and the procedures we offer are designed to deliver long-term, permanent results when performed on suitable patients.

In this article, we explain what permanence really means in the context of penis enlargement surgery, what results you can realistically expect, and how surgical techniques compare to non-surgical options.

What Does “Permanent” Mean in Penis Enlargement Surgery?

In medical terms, a permanent result means that the structural changes made during surgery do not reverse over time.

In surgical penis enlargement, this is achieved using two established techniques:

• Penile ligament release surgery to increase visible flaccid length

• Fat transfer to permanently increase penile girth

When performed correctly, both of these techniques create lasting anatomical changes rather than temporary cosmetic effects.

Is Penile Ligament Release Surgery Permanent?

Yes — ligament release surgery is permanent.

This procedure involves releasing the suspensory ligament that anchors the penis internally to the pubic bone. Once released, the penis sits further forward in the flaccid state, creating a visible increase in flaccid length.

Important points to understand:

• The ligament does not grow back

• The increase is mainly seen in the flaccid state

• Erect length increase is usually minimal, which is normal and expected

Some online sources claim ligament release causes instability or dysfunction. When performed by an experienced urologist using correct anchoring techniques, these claims are misleading and not supported by clinical evidence.

Is Fat Transfer for Penis Enlargement Permanent?

Fat transfer is considered a permanent girth enhancement technique, although some fat resorption is expected.

During the procedure:

• Fat is harvested from your own body

• It is purified and injected into the penile shaft

• A proportion of the fat permanently integrates into the tissue

Most patients retain 60–80% of the transferred fat long term, resulting in a lasting increase in penile girth.

Unlike fillers, fat transfer does not need routine top-ups once the final result has stabilised.

How Does Surgery Compare to Non-Surgical Options?

Many men explore non-surgical options before considering surgery. These include:

Penis Fillers

• Temporary results (typically 12–24 months)

• Primarily increase girth

• Require repeat treatments to maintain results

Devices, Pumps and Exercises

• No proven permanent size increase

• May temporarily affect appearance

• Risk of injury if used incorrectly

For men seeking a permanent anatomical change, surgery remains the most definitive option.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Permanent Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Penis enlargement surgery is most suitable for men who:

• Are in good general health

• Have realistic expectations

• Understand the difference between flaccid and erect outcomes

• Are seeking long-term rather than temporary results

A consultation with a Specialist Urologist is essential to determine suitability and discuss expected outcomes in detail.

Final Thoughts

When performed by experienced urologists, penis enlargement surgery provides permanent structural changes that do not reverse over time. While non-surgical treatments can play a role for some men, surgery remains the gold standard for those seeking lasting results.

If you are considering your options, a professional consultation will help you decide whether surgical or non-surgical treatment is right for you.
