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
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
Swelling and Bruising
Almost all patients experience some swelling or bruising after surgery. This usually resolves in the first few weeks.
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
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
Scarring
A small scar may form where the incision is made. At Moorgate, surgeons use advanced techniques to keep this discreet.
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
Unrealistic Expectations
Perhaps the biggest “risk” is expecting extreme results. Surgery offers a permanent enhancement, but within natural limits.
