The Consultation Process

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation:

  1. Medical Assessment: Health evaluation and discussion of goals

  2. Procedure Planning: Tailoring the approach (surgery vs fillers)

  3. Recovery Discussion: What to expect post-operatively

This step ensures safety and realistic expectations.

Surgical Procedure Overview

Penis enlargement surgery can involve:

  • Ligament Release: Increases visible length

  • Fat or Tissue Grafting: Adds girth and contour

  • Combined Approaches: For patients seeking both length and thickness

Our team ensures minimal scarring, precision, and natural-looking results.

What to Expect During Surgery

  • Duration: Typically 1–2 hours

  • Anaesthesia: Local with sedation or general, depending on procedure

  • Hospital Stay: Outpatient in most cases

The team closely monitors your comfort and safety throughout.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is a critical part of achieving optimal results:

  • Initial Rest: Light activity for the first week

  • Follow-Up Appointments: Regular monitoring of healing and progress

  • Avoid Strain: No heavy lifting, exercise, or sexual activity for 4–6 weeks
