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