## **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

## **Next Steps**

If you are considering penis enlargement surgery, the first step is a consultation and physical assessment to determine suitability and discuss options.
