Ligament release surgery is one of the most commonly misunderstood components of penis enlargement surgery. Much of the negative information online is misleading, incomplete, or written by clinics that do not perform surgery.
At Moorgate Andrology, ligament release surgery is performed by Consultant Urologists and is often combined with other techniques to optimise overall results.
Ligament release surgery involves dividing the suspensory ligament, which anchors part of the penis internally to the pubic bone. By releasing this ligament, a greater portion of the penile shaft becomes externally visible in the flaccid state.
This procedure does not create new tissue — it reveals existing internal length.
Flaccid length: Noticeable and permanent increase
Erect length: Usually marginal or unchanged
Appearance: Improved hang and proportion
This distinction is important and often misrepresented online.
Myth 1: “Ligament release causes loss of erections”
False. When performed correctly by an experienced Urologist, erectile function is preserved.
Myth 2: “The penis points straight down permanently”
Incorrect. Post-operative physiotherapy and extender use help maintain natural erection angle.
Myth 3: “The results disappear”
Untrue. Ligament release results are permanent when post-operative instructions are followed.
Many non-surgical clinics promote fillers alone and portray surgery negatively. This creates biased information that does not reflect surgical reality when procedures are properly selected and performed.
No. Suitability depends on anatomy, goals, and willingness to follow post-operative guidance. This is why consultation with a Consultant Urologist is essential.
