Penis Enlargement Surgery Risks: What You Need To Know

Penis Enlargement Surgery Risks – What You Need to Know

Every surgery carries risks, and penis enlargement surgery is no different. At Moorgate Andrology, we believe in complete transparency. Understanding the risks helps men make an informed decision and prepares them for the best possible outcome. Our Urologists equally discuss potential risks and complications as well as the benefits of penis enlargement surgery

Why Discuss Risks?

Some clinics shy away from openly discussing risks. At Moorgate, we believe it’s essential. By being upfront, men know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to minimise complications. You must be fully aware of the possible risks and complications, so that in the unlikely event that you have one, you know what to expect

Common Risks of Penis Enlargement Surgery

1. Swelling and Bruising
   Almost all patients experience some swelling or bruising after surgery. This usually resolves in the first few weeks.

2. Temporary Numbness
   Some men report changes in sensation during recovery. This is often temporary as nerves settle. There is often some temporary numbness on the inner thighs where the fat was taken from

3. Infection
   As with any surgery, infection is possible. This is why antibiotics and strict aftercare instructions are provided. The chances of infection are 1 % , very low but it still exists

4. Scarring
   A small scar may form where the incision is made. At Moorgate, surgeons use advanced techniques to keep this discreet.

5. Asymmetry
   In rare cases, slight unevenness may occur. Follow-up care and monitoring help to correct this if needed. Post operative massage of the penis usually resolves any minor lumps and bumps

6. Unrealistic Expectations
   Perhaps the biggest “risk” is expecting extreme results. Surgery offers a permanent enhancement, but within natural limits.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Clinic

Not all providers offer the same level of surgical expertise. Some competitors only provide filler treatments, which carry their own risks. Surgery should only be performed by a surgeon trained in urogenital procedures, not cosmetic injectors.

How to Reduce Your Own Risks

• Follow all pre-op and post-op instructions.

• Avoid smoking and alcohol before surgery and at least a week afterwards whilst on antibiotics

• Attend every follow-up appointment. most of these will be on video for conveneience

• Ask as many questions as needed during consultation.

Psychological Considerations

It’s important to prepare mentally as well as physically. Reviews show that men who had realistic expectations and proper support reported the highest satisfaction rates.
