Who Is Suitable for Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Penis enlargement surgery is not about achieving an unrealistic or exaggerated result. It is a carefully planned medical procedure designed to improve flaccid length, proportions, and confidence in suitable candidates.

At Moorgate Andrology, suitability is assessed by a consultant Urologist following a detailed medical and psychological evaluation.

Who May Be Suitable?

You may be suitable for penis enlargement surgery if:

• You are physically healthy and fit for surgery
• You have realistic expectations about outcomes
• You are bothered by your penis size in daily life, relationships, or confidence
• You understand that most gains relate to flaccid length, with erect length changes usually modest
• You are seeking treatment from a qualified Urologist rather than a cosmetic-only provider

Many men who undergo penis enlargement surgery have a penis size within the normal range but feel that it does not match their self-image or confidence. This alone does not make surgery inappropriate.

Medical Assessment

Before surgery, your Urologist will review:

• Your general medical history
• Any previous genital surgery
• Erectile function
• Smoking status
• Body mass index (BMI)
• Skin quality and anatomy

These factors influence both safety and outcomes.

Psychological Suitability

It is essential that patients understand what surgery can and cannot achieve. Surgery is not recommended for men who:

• Expect dramatic erect length increases
• Believe surgery will solve unrelated relationship or psychological issues
• Have untreated body dysmorphic disorder

Where appropriate, further discussion or support may be recommended before proceeding.

Age Considerations

There is no strict upper age limit for penis enlargement surgery, provided you are medically fit. Younger and older patients are treated routinely, with outcomes depending more on health and anatomy than age.

Final Word on Suitability

Suitability is individual. The safest and most effective way to determine whether surgery is right for you is through a formal consultation with an experienced Urologist.
