Is Penis Enlargement Surgery Painful?

Pain is one of the most common concerns men have before surgery. The good news is that most patients describe the discomfort as manageable and short-lived, especially with proper medication.


🔹 During the Procedure

You will be under general anaesthetic, meaning:

  • You will not feel pain

  • You will not remember the procedure

  • The Urologist has full access to operate comfortably and safely


🔹 After Girth Surgery (Fat Transfer)

Common sensations include:

  • Tightness

  • Mild bruising

  • Slight stinging around the entry points

  • Temporary swelling

Most men say the discomfort is similar to a gym strain.


🔹 After Length Surgery (Ligament Release)

Expect:

  • Moderate discomfort in the pubic area

  • A pulling sensation

  • Mild bruising

  • Soreness when moving or walking for the first week

Pain is usually well controlled with the medication provided.


🔹 Pain Duration

  • Days 1–3: strongest

  • Days 4–7: noticeably better

  • Week 2: mild

  • Week 6: almost none

  • Month 3: fully comfortable


🔹 What Makes Pain Worse?
