Who Is Suitable for Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Not every man who enquires about penis enlargement surgery is automatically suitable for treatment. A thorough medical assessment is essential to determine whether surgery is appropriate, safe, and likely to deliver a meaningful benefit.

At Moorgate Andrology, suitability is assessed by a Consultant Urologist, taking into account anatomy, expectations, physical health, and psychological wellbeing.


General Criteria for Suitability

You may be suitable for penis enlargement surgery if:

  • You are physically healthy enough to undergo surgery

  • You have realistic expectations about outcomes

  • You are bothered by the appearance or size of your penis in daily life

  • You understand the recovery process and limitations

  • You are seeking improvement rather than perfection

Suitability is not based purely on measurements. Many men with statistically average penis size still benefit from surgery due to confidence, proportion, or flaccid appearance concerns.

Men Commonly Considered Suitable

Men with a Buried or Hidden Penis

Excess pubic fat, skin tethering, or scarring can cause the penis to appear shorter. Surgery can release and expose hidden length.


Men with Significant Flaccid Length Concerns

Some men experience pronounced retraction in the flaccid state, which can affect confidence in social or intimate situations. Lengthening surgery primarily improves flaccid length.


Men Seeking Girth Enhancement

Men seeking increased shaft thickness may be suitable for fat transfer or fillers, depending on anatomy and goals.

Men After Weight Loss or Circumcision

Skin changes following major weight loss or circumcision can alter penile appearance. Surgery may help restore proportion and visibility.


Who May NOT Be Suitable

Penis enlargement surgery may not be appropriate if:

  • You have untreated erectile dysfunction

  • You have unrealistic expectations of size increase

  • You are seeking dramatic erect length changes

  • You have unmanaged anxiety, body dysmorphia, or compulsive concerns

  • You are medically unfit for surgery

In these cases, alternative treatments or reassurance may be more appropriate.


The Importance of Psychological Readiness

A successful outcome is not just physical. Men who benefit most from surgery:

  • Understand the limits of surgery

  • Are emotionally stable

  • Are not seeking surgery due to external pressure

  • View surgery as an enhancement, not a solution to unrelated issues

Where appropriate, psychological support may be recommended as part of the assessment.


Why a Urologist-Led Assessment Matters

Penis enlargement surgery should only be assessed and performed by a Urologist with experience in genital surgery.

At Moorgate Andrology, consultations are conducted by Dr Gerasimos Fragkoulis or Dr Nenad Djakovic, ensuring:

  • Medical suitability

  • Anatomical safety

  • Honest outcome discussion

  • Clear risk explanation
