### **Aftercare Tips for Penis Enlargement Surgery: What to Expect**

Recovering from penis enlargement surgery properly is just as important as the surgery itself. Following your aftercare plan helps you heal faster, reduces risks, and ensures the best cosmetic outcome.

---

#### **1️⃣ Rest and Recovery**

- Take up to a week off work to allow your body to heal.
- Avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks.
- Use comfortable underwear to avoid friction.

---

#### **2️⃣ Swelling and Bruising**

- Some swelling is normal and usually peaks within the first week.
- Applying a **cold compress** (for short periods) can help.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, or swimming until cleared by your surgeon.

---

#### **3️⃣ Hygiene and Wound Care**

- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Follow the cleaning instructions given by your surgeon carefully.
- Avoid touching or adjusting dressings unnecessarily.

---

#### **4️⃣ Resuming Sexual Activity**

- Usually allowed after 6 weeks, but confirm with your surgeon.
- Trying to resume too soon can delay healing or affect results.

---

#### **5️⃣ Follow-Up Appointments**

- Attend all your follow-up visits — they are crucial for monitoring healing and results.
- Report any redness, excessive pain, or discharge immediately.

✅ **Moorgate Andrology** provides every patient with a personalised aftercare plan to ensure safe healing and optimal results following surgery.
