Does Penis Enlargement Surgery Affect Erections?

This is one of the most common and important questions asked by patients considering penis enlargement surgery.

The short answer is:
When performed correctly by a qualified Urologist, penis enlargement surgery does not interfere with the structures responsible for erections.

Understanding Erections

Erections occur when blood fills the corpora cavernosa — two erectile chambers inside the penis. These structures lie deep within the penis.

Penis enlargement surgery works around the penis, not inside it.

What Surgery Actually Involves

Penis enlargement surgery typically includes:

• Ligament release to improve flaccid length
• Fat transfer or fillers to increase girth

These procedures do not involve cutting into erectile tissue or blood chambers.

Why Some Patients Report Problems Online

Occasionally, online reviews mention changes in erections. Common reasons include:

• Pre-existing erectile dysfunction
• Anxiety during recovery
• Temporary swelling or bruising
• Unrealistic expectations

In many cases, erections return to baseline as recovery progresses.

Surgical Safety

At Moorgate Andrology, surgery is performed by a consultant Urologist with detailed anatomical knowledge. This significantly reduces risk compared to non-specialist providers.

Final Reassurance

There is no scientific evidence that properly performed penis enlargement surgery damages erectile tissue. A full medical assessment ensures risks are minimised and suitability is confirmed.
