On the Day of Surgery

• Surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic/deep sedation in a CQC-regulated centre.

• You will come to the hospital about two hours before and stay about two to three hours after surgery for recovery. All done in one day

  Patients go home the same day with a light dressing and detailed aftercare instructions.

Week 1

• Swelling and bruising are at their peak during the first week.

• Mild discomfort is normal and easily managed with pain relief prescribed by your Urologist.

• Light walking and daily activities are fine, but avoid strenuous movement.

• Your first follow-up video appointment usually takes place within 7 days.

Weeks 2–4

• Bruising fades, swelling begins to reduce.

• Stitches will dissolve naturally

• You should avoid exercise, heavy lifting, or sexual activity at this stage.

• Most men feel comfortable returning to work (desk-based jobs) within a few days after surgery. More physical jobs may need a week off

Weeks 4–6

• Swelling continues to settle and the penis starts to take on a more natural shape.

• At 6 weeks, you may usually resume sexual activity and gym training

• By now, you will notice a clear difference in both length and girth, though results continue to refine.

Months 3–6

• Final results become more stable as tissues heal and fat transfer integrates.

• Any unevenness in girth tends to smooth out as swelling fully disappears.

• Scars fade gradually and become less visible over time.

• Your confidence grows as the changes become part of your new normal.

Long-Term

• Penis lengthening results from ligament release surgery are permanent.

• Fat transfer girth enhancement is long-lasting, though a portion of the fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body in the first three months.

• Some men choose a small “top-up” procedure in the future to combat signs of penis aging.

By following your surgeon’s advice carefully, you can maximise your results and minimise risks. Our team is available throughout your recovery to support and guide you.

Penis Enlargement Surgery Risks & Considerations – FAQs

Q: What are the most common side effects after penis enlargement surgery?
A: Most men experience temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first 1–2 weeks. These effects are normal and gradually improve with rest and following post-operative care instructions.

Q: Can penis enlargement surgery affect erections?
A: No. Our techniques, including ligament release surgery and fat transfer penis enlargement, are designed to preserve erectile tissue, nerves, and blood supply. Erectile function is not affected when performed by a specialist urologist.

Q: Is fat transfer permanent?
A: The girth enhancement from fat transfer is considered permanent, but some fat is naturally absorbed in the first few weeks. You will see the final outcome around 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.

Q: Are there risks of uneven results?
A: Minor asymmetry in girth or swelling can sometimes occur but usually resolves as tissues heal in the first 6 weeks. Any significant concerns are addressed during follow-up visits.

Q: What are the less common risks?
A: Rare complications may include infection, scarring, or the need for minor revision. These are uncommon, and our GMC-registered urologists follow strict protocols to minimise all risks. For example, with our unique tissue interposition technique we have significantly improved the outcomes of penis lengthening surgery

Q: How can I reduce risks and optimise results?
A: Following your post-operative instructions is key. This includes avoiding sexual activity and heavy exercise for 6 weeks, doing the post op massage of the penis as instructed, and attending all follow-up video appointments as required.

Q: Will I need further procedures?
A: Most patients do not require additional surgery. However, some men may choose a top-up fat transfer or minor refinement in the future
