Realistic results from penis enlargement surgery- Moorgate Andrology

Many men considering penis enlargement surgery have questions about what is achievable. It’s important to have realistic expectations to ensure satisfaction and avoid disappointment. In this article, we outline what can be expected in terms of length, girth, and overall outcomes.

How Much Length Can Be Achieved?

Flaccid Length Increase:

• Ligament release surgery (suspensory ligament release) is designed to increase flaccid length.

• Most men gain approximately 1–2 inches in flaccid length.

• Erect length increases are marginal, as the ligament release mainly affects the flaccid state.

Important: Erect length is largely determined by genetics, so expectations should focus on flaccid gain and overall appearance.

How Much Girth Can Be Achieved?

Fat Transfer (Autologous Grafting):

• Fat is harvested from another area of the body and transferred to the penis shaft.

• Typical increase in girth: 1–2 cm.

• Results are permanent, though some minor absorption may occur.

• Performed correctly, the shaft maintains a natural shape and contour.

Non-Surgical Fillers:

• Temporary solution to increase girth.

• Results last 12–24 months depending on filler type.

• Can be used to enhance results post-surgery if desired.

Recovery & Visible Results

• Initial swelling and bruising are normal.

• The final appearance becomes evident after 6–12 weeks.

• Consistent follow-up ensures the results are stable and symmetrical.

Tip: Measuring flaccid length pre- and post-surgery is the best way to objectively track results.

Factors That Affect Outcomes

• Body weight: Excess pubic fat can mask true gains; consider pubic lift or liposuction if required.

• Skin elasticity: Tighter skin may limit girth expansion.

• Post-operative compliance: Following all recovery instructions ensures optimal outcomes.

Who Benefits Most?

• Men who are self-conscious about penis size.

• Men seeking a permanent girth increase.

• Men looking to enhance flaccid length for aesthetic confidence.

Note: Men with normal-sized penises often seek surgery for confidence rather than medical necessity. Realistic goals are crucial.
