Is penis enlargement surgery permanent?

The results of a penis enlargement operation ARE permanent for the vast majority of patients.

For length enhancement, the immediate results will actually improve over time if you perform post-operative stretching. For girth enhancement with autologous fat injection, most men retain around 60% of the gain you will see immediately after the surgery. This is for two reasons:

● You will have some swelling after the operation, so when the swelling subsides some of the gain will reduce naturally

● We know that some of the injected fat will be absorbed by the body – how much absorbed is, unfortunately, patient dependent but on average it will be no more than 30-40%. The reason that some of the fat gets reabsorbed is that the injected fat cells do not develop their own blood supply and hence do not survive and become scar tissue. This is why post-operative care is very important as it will determine the amount of fat absorbed.

How long do i need to stay in the hospital?

Penis enlargement surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes between 1 and 2 hours of operating time.

After the operation, you would need to stay in the hospital for 3-4 hours. During this time you will be attended by a nurse, eat something, have a check-up with your surgeon and when the all clear is provided, you will be ready to leave the clinic. You will be able to walk and function normally, usually with very little pain or discomfort.

This means that the whole process (from admission to discharge from the clinic) is around 6 hours, after which you can return home or to your accommodation if travelling from outside London.

What do i need to do to prepare for the surgery?

Practically nothing – although following a healthy lifestyle (in terms of diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption) the preceding month is advised since this will assist with the recovery.

Moreover, you will be given detailed fasting instructions that you will need to follow 6 hours before the surgery. However, if you have fallen ill or there are any other recent health concerns, make sure you inform your surgeon as soon as possible so as to evaluate whether the surgery can proceed or will need to be postponed to a later date. If there is anything else you need to do pre-operatively, your doctor will inform you during your consultation.

What is the cost of penis enlargement surgery?

what do i need to do after the surgery?

The day after your operation, you need to attend a consultation with your surgeon, during which he will give you detailed post-operative instructions, change your medical dressing and answer any questions that you might have.

After that and until your next in-office consultation (usually a month later), your surgeon and our patient co-ordination team will be in close contact with you asking for regular updates and also addressing any concerns you might have.

A few days after your surgery (unless instructed otherwise) you would need to start with the post-operative rehabilitation, which involves manual penile stretching and daily gentle massaging of the penis shaft (depending on the surgical technique performed) – detailed instructions will be provided to you post-operatively.

how long after surgery can i resume sexual activity?

Usually sexual activities can be resumed after 4-5 weeks unless your surgeon advises otherwise.

how long do i need to take of work for the surgery?

Most patients can return to work 2-3 days after their operation. If your work involves heavy physical activity, then you may need some more time to recover.

will i experience pain after the surgery?

Some mild pain and discomfort should be expected but this can be treated with over the counter oral painkillers. Same patients, especially younger men, may feel pain during erections in the first few days.

what are the potential complications of surgery?

Penis enlargement surgery is minimally invasive and most complications can be treated with over the counter oral pain medication.

Most patients will experience some swelling of the penis, which will subside after the first few days from the operation, and minimal scarring at the incision site. Rare complications (associated with any type of surgery) may include bleeding, infection (you will be prescribed antibiotics to prevent this), localised tissue damage (blood vessels, nerves, penis glans, urethra), temporary/ permanent glans numbness and penile retraction. Like any surgical operation, some patients might not be satisfied with their gain in size and the aesthetic outcome of the results, which in some rare cases might be less profound than expected.

During your pre-operative consultation, you will be informed extensively about the risks of the operation and your surgeon will answer any questions that you may have.
