Penis fillers are a popular non-surgical option for men seeking increased girth and confidence. Quick, minimally invasive, and effective, filler treatments have become a trusted alternative to surgery, since we introduced them to the UK over ten years ago now. However, the quality and longevity of results rely heavily on proper aftercare.
At Moorgate Andrology, we’ve seen the best outcomes come from patients who follow a clear recovery plan and understand what to expect in the days and weeks after treatment. Here is what you should be ding and looking out for after you have had penis enlargement injections.

Tenderness: Your penis may feel slightly firmer or sensitive.
Massaging: Do the post treatment massage as your Urologist showed you.
