How long does it take to recover after penis enlargement surgery ?

Penis enlargement surgery is a procedure designed to increase the length and/or girth of the penis. Many men considering the operation want to know what to expect during the recovery process — how long it takes, what activities to avoid, and when normal life can resume.

At Moorgate Andrology, we guide patients through each stage of healing with professional aftercare and medical supervision to ensure safe, steady results.

The First Few Days

Immediately after surgery, mild swelling and bruising are common. Patients are advised to rest and limit physical activity for the first few days. It’s important to keep the surgical area clean and follow the aftercare instructions provided by the clinic.

Most men find that any discomfort can be managed with prescribed medication and that returning to light daily activities is possible within a few days.

One to Two Weeks Post-Surgery

During the second week, swelling and bruising typically begin to fade. You can walk short distances and carry out light tasks, but strenuous exercise and intimate activity should still be avoided.
Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled around this time so the medical team can check healing progress and answer any questions.

Weeks Three to Six

By week three, most swelling has subsided and the penis will begin to settle into its new shape. Patients often return to desk jobs around this point, though heavy lifting or gym sessions should still wait until at least week six.

Our aftercare team provides guidance on what activities are safe to resume and how to care for the treated area to maintain results.

Beyond Six Weeks

After about six weeks, most patients are fully healed. The final results continue to refine over several months as tissue softens and natural movement returns. Regular follow-ups at Moorgate Andrology ensure everything is healing as expected and allow patients to discuss any further enhancement or maintenance treatments.

Recovery Tips

  • Always follow your surgeon’s aftercare plan

  • Avoid smoking and alcohol during recovery

  • Keep the surgical site clean and dry

  • Attend all scheduled check-ups

  • Report any unusual swelling or discomfort

Every patient’s recovery timeline is slightly different, but with professional care and realistic expectations, most men are pleased with the outcome.
