What Surgery Can and Cannot Do

Overview

Penis enlargement surgery can offer meaningful, measurable improvement for suitable patients. However, it is essential to understand what surgery can realistically achieve, what it cannot, and how results vary between individuals.

At Moorgate Andrology, all procedures are performed or overseen by consultant Urologists, and patient expectations are carefully assessed before any treatment is offered.

What Penis Enlargement Surgery Can Achieve

Length Increase

  • Surgical length enhancement typically involves ligament release surgery

  • This increases the visible flaccid length

  • Stretched flaccid length often correlates with erect length, but:

    • Surgery does not directly operate on erectile tissue

  • Average visible length gains vary and depend on anatomy, healing, and compliance with post-operative guidance

Girth Enhancement

  • Girth increase is achieved using medical-grade Penis fillers for girth enhancement  or fat transfer

  • Results are:

    • Immediately visible

    • Adjustable over time

    • Customised to the individual’s anatomy

  • Girth enhancement often produces the most noticeable cosmetic change

What Penis Enlargement Surgery Cannot Do

It is equally important to understand limitations.

Penis enlargement surgery cannot:

  • Change genetic anatomy

  • Create unrealistic or extreme size increases

  • Turn an average-sized penis into an unusually large one

  • Improve sexual performance or libido directly

  • Replace normal erectile function if erectile dysfunction is present

Surgery focuses on appearance and proportion, not sexual performance.

Why Results Vary Between Patients

Results differ due to:

  • Baseline anatomy

  • Skin elasticity

  • Ligament length and attachment

  • Healing response

  • Adherence to post-operative instructions

  • Whether surgery is combined with non-surgical treatments

This is why personalised consultation with a Urologist is essential.

The Role of Expectations

Unrealistic expectations are the most common cause of dissatisfaction.

At Moorgate Andrology:

  • Psychological suitability is assessed

  • Patients seeking extreme or unrealistic outcomes may be advised not to proceed

  • The goal is natural-looking, proportionate enhancement

This approach protects both patient wellbeing and long-term satisfaction.

Surgery vs Non-Surgical Enhancement

Some patients achieve excellent results using:

  • Fillers alone

  • Combination treatment (surgery + fillers)

  • Staged treatment over time

A Urologist will advise which approach is most appropriate.

Is Penis Enlargement Surgery Right for You?

You may be suitable if:

  • You are physically healthy

  • You have realistic expectations

  • Your concerns relate to appearance rather than sexual performance

  • You understand both benefits and limitations

A consultation is the only way to determine suitability accurately.

Expert Assessment Matters

Penis enlargement surgery should only be performed by:

  • Surgeons with formal urological training

  • Clinics that prioritise anatomy, safety, and long-term outcomes

At Moorgate Andrology, consultations are conducted by experienced Urologists who specialise in male genital procedures.

Key Takeaway

Penis enlargement surgery can provide noticeable, confidence-enhancing improvements, but it is not a shortcut to unrealistic results. Understanding what surgery can and cannot do is essential to a positive outcome.
