Penis Enlargement Surgery vs Penis Fillers: Which Is Better?

Both penis enlargement surgery and penis fillers are popular options for men wanting to increase their penis size β€” but they work very differently.

Here’s a clear comparison from the Urologists at Moorgate Andrology to help you choose the best option based on your goals.

πŸ”Ή What Is Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Girth enlargement is typically done with fat transfer, while length is achieved through suspensory ligament release.

Pros

  • Permanent girth result

  • Uses your own natural fat

  • Can increase both flaccid length and girth

  • No foreign substances injected

  • More affordable long-term

Cons

  • Requires general anaesthetic

  • Some downtime required

  • 30–40% fat loss initially

πŸ”Ή What Are Penis Fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is injected around the shaft for temporary girth enhancement.

Pros

  • No downtime

  • Adjustable and reversible

  • Good for small incremental increases

Cons

  • Temporary (12–24 months)

  • Risk of lumps/irregularities

  • Semi-permanent fillers should be avoided

πŸ”Ή Which One Gives the Biggest Increase?

Surgery gives the most significant increase in girth and flaccid length.
Fillers give modest improvements but are ideal for men wanting a non-surgical option.

πŸ”Ή Which One Looks More Natural?

Fat transfer provides a more natural feel.
Fillers may feel firmer until they settle.

The Bottom Line

Choose penis fillers if:

  • You want a reversible, non-surgical option

  • You want to β€œtest” extra girth before committing

  • You want instant results

Choose penis enlargement surgery if:

  • You want the biggest possible increase

  • You want permanent girth enhancement

  • You want natural fat, not synthetic fillers
