Option 2 – LENGTH + GIRTH SURGERY
- 1-2.4 inches (2 – 6 cm) increase in flaccid penis length.
Note: No erect penis length gain is possible unless opting for Real Penile Lengthening.
- 40-50% gain in girth
- Permanent results (length), long-lasting results (fat transfer)
- 0% Finance Available, subject to credit approval
- From £5,100 inclusive
Stage One – Penis Lengthening
The first step in Length + Girth Surgery involves division of the Suspensory Ligament.
This allows more of the penis to protrude and hang down from the body.
The penis becomes longer in the flaccid state.
A Silicone Buffer ensures that the Suspensory Ligaments do not reattach.
Stage Two – Penis Fat Transfer
In the second step, the thickness is increased using the patient’s own body fat
LipiVage creates a closed circuit from the fat donor site (typically the stomach, flanks and lower back) to the fat recipient site (the penis).
The closed-circuit improves the rate of fat survival and improves the sterility of the fat transfer process (reducing the infection rate).
Penis Thickness can be Significantly Increased
With advanced techniques in fat harvesting, transfer and reinjection, we are able to achieve the highest rate of fat survival possible.
30-40% gain in girth is possible.
* Individual results may vary from person to person.

- Repeat fat transfer surgery from £2,500
Option 4 – PENIS LENGTH ONLY – LIGAMENTOLYSIS
- Day case surgery
- 1-2.4 inches (2 – 6 cm) increase in flaccid penis length.
Note: No erect penis length gain is possible unless opting for Real Penile Lengthening.
- Permanent results
- 0% Finance Available, subject to credit approval
- From £4,300 inclusive
Risk 1.
The long term satisfaction rate is low (33% satisfied patients).
“The [penis lengthening] procedure led to an average increase of 1.3 cm in flaccid penis length.
However, only 35% of men who had the operation were happy with the results.” [Emphasis added].
Referenced Study: European Urology
Result:
“Penis length surgery involves cutting the ligament with which the penis is attached to the pubic bone and grafting added skin to the base to increase length. This will increase the size of the flaccid penis by up to 2cm, but it doesn’t affect the size of the erect penis. The cut ligament may also not provide the support it originally did, which means that you might find your erections less satisfactory as a result. There is also a risk that this type of surgery may cause the side effect of pain during sex.” [Emphasis added].
Risk 2.
Penis Lengthening Surgery is considered by some important medical bodies not to have been shown to be safe or effective.
“The American Urological Association considers the division of the suspensory ligament of the penis for increasing penile length in adults to be a procedure which has not been shown to be safe or efficacious [effective].” (emphasis added).

Risk 3.
It can make Sex uncomfortable.
NHS – Penis Length Surgery
The most common technique involves cutting the ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone and performing a skin graft at the base of the penis to allow for the extra length. Professor Wylie says the surgery can result in an average gain in length to the flaccid penis of 2cm, but there will be no change to the size of the erect penis.
Furthermore, the erect penis won’t point as high as before the operation because the ligament which was cut no longer offers support.
“A lot of men who have this treatment don’t truly appreciate this loss of angle,” says Professor Wylie. “It can make sex quite uncomfortable. You’ve got to do a lot more manoeuvring with your partner. The advantage of a 2cm gain in flaccid length is far outweighed by the loss of angle of erection.”
Professor Wylie
The ligaments that stabilise your penis are partially cut.
These ligaments function to lift and stabilise your penis when erect.
After lengthening surgery the penis can be less stable horizontally and vertically.
There can also be scarring and infection.
Risk 4.
It can leave scarring.
To access the penis suspensory ligaments an incision has to be made, as shown below.
When all healed the scarring is partially covered by the pubic hair, however some of the scarring will always be visible.
Examples of scarring from penis lengthening surgery are below.
Scarring may not be an issue to you, for example, if you are married or in a long-term relationship and your partner knows about your penis lengthening surgery.
In this case, the scarring is unlikely to cause you any embarrassment.
If you are a young man and expect to have numerous sexual partners during your lifetime, then it would be worth considering whether you will feel comfortable explaining the scars under your pubic hair to current and future sexual partners.
Risk 5.
The most common complication is Penile Shortening.
Unfortunately penile shortening is the most common complication of penis lengthening surgery (ligamentolysis).
“Penile shortening is a major complication of penile lengthening surgery, usually resulting from the freely hanging penis reattaching to the pubic bone located higher on the corporal bodies. The likelihood of this complication can be minimised by the placement of surrounding soft tissues, fat tissues, silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene, Gore-Tex, and other artificial materials.” [Emphasis added].
Nam Cheol Park, Kim, Moon, Penile Augmentation 2016
The risk of ligaments reattaching can be lowered by inserting a silicone buffer to help prevent ligaments from reattaching and the penis shortening.
In a small number of cases, the silicone buffer can become infected and may need to be surgically removed.
Wearing a penis extender for 8 hours per day for 1 year after surgery can also help to prevent retraction and penis shortening after surgery.
It is worth purchasing and wearing a penis extender for an extended time before your surgery, to see how it feels and to make sure that wearing one after surgery will not be too uncomfortable for you, or disrupt your normal routine.
Explanation:
If you don’t wear a penis extender after penis lengthening surgery, the ligaments are likely to reattach to the penis shaft, further down towards the head, making your penis shorter than before surgery.
Surgeons have tried to prevent penile shortening and reattachment by inserting plastic or Gore-tex into the gap between the penile base and the pubis, with varying levels of success.
Before having penis lengthening surgery, first buy a penis extender, to make 100% sure you can wear it for 8-10 hours per day, as part of your normal everyday routine. You’ll need to wear an extender every day after lengthening surgery.
Risk 6.
Infection.
Infection is a major risk of penis lengthening surgery.
In some cases the results can be severe.
In the field of medicine, penis enlargement surgery remains controversial.
It has among the highest rates of reported complications, and, among the lowest rates of long-term patient satisfaction when participants are questioned about their outcomes over a long-term horizon. Some of the reasons not to go ahead with penis enlargement surgery are outlined in the following links provided by the NHS and various Urology Journals.
European Urology (2008) Link
“…the use of cosmetic surgery to enlarge the penis remains highly controversial. There is a lack of any standardization of all described procedures. Indications and outcome measures are poorly defined, and the reported complications are unacceptably high. In our opinion, until new, reliable, and more objective and reproducible data are available, these procedures should be regarded as investigational and patients should be discouraged from undergoing these invasive treatments.”
UK NHS Link
There is an inordinate amount of misinformation regarding penis enlargement surgery on the internet and in popular culture. We have sought to address some of the most common misconceptions on the page Penis Enlargement Fact vs Fiction.
Penoplasty surgeons will often neglect to inform patients of some risks and limitations of penis enlargement surgery.
In many instances it is not explained to the patient that penis lengthening by suspensory ligament division is only effective in achieving increased flaccid penis length: in the erect state, no gain in length is s possible.
All prospective patients should read widely on the subject of penis enlargement, particularly the surgical approaches, before committing to a procedure. Our non-surgical procedures may be a better option for those who do not wish to accept the risk of higher than normal levels of reported complications; the invasive aspect of surgery, and the lengthy recovery time.
Information from government sources or industry associations is worth considering, as the information often provides an independent perspective on the pros and cons of penis enlargement surgery. We recommend searching online for cases in which penis enlargement surgery has not been successful, in order to be fully informed of the risks and limitations. The possible downside risks to surgery are real, potentially severe, and occur not infrequently.
Penis enlargement has become safer and more effective in recent years. It is possible to undergo a lower risk enlargement procedure for penis thickening using dermal fillers proven in facial aesthetics, and supported by peer-reviewed research, such as those based on Hyaluronic Acid. This procedure is available at our London Harley Street address.
There is a wealth of information available to those considering undertaking penis enlargement surgery, including in our medical literature section. Our surgeons are experienced in dealing with all aspects of male genital surgery and will clarify any questions you may have.
Methods for additional Flaccid Length
By adding Hyaluronic Acid fillers such as Voluma to the penis, or by having a fat transfer to the penis, the patient can achieve almost the same amount of increased flaccid length as can be achieved by the ligamentolysis (penis lengthening surgery).
Penis lengthening surgery is not suitable for the majority of patients given the risks of this procedure, the limited benefits, and the effective alternatives available.
A penis extender device (below) is also an option to increase flaccid and erect penis length.
Short Answer: Penis Lengthening Surgery won’t make the ERECT penis any longer, it only makes the FLACCID (soft penis) hang out lower from the body.
This point is often misunderstood, and it is not well explained in most cases.
Penis Lengthening Surgery involves cutting through ligaments which work like elastic bands, pulling the penis back up inside the body after losing an erection and going limp.
These ‘elastic bands’ are anchored at one end to the pubic bone and at the other end to the penis shaft. During an erection, the bands are stretched out to their maximum length. After losing the erection the ligaments pull the penis back up inside the body causing it to retract inside and appear smaller.
Cutting through these elastic bands means there is nothing left to pull the penis back up inside the body after losing an erection, therefore, it hangs out at nearly its full erect length, giving the illusion of a longer flaccid penis.
As the penis shaft itself has not been made longer, there is no increase in erect length.
A photograph of the anatomy of the penis ligaments is attached here. Warning the photo may be disturbing to some.
In order for the erect length of the penis to be increased surgically, the penile shaft itself (in pink below) has to be lengthened. This involves dividing the penis in two and grafting new tissue into the middle. It is invasive and expensive, with a cost of approximately £40,000.
Because the penis shaft hasn’t been made any longer (highlighted in yellow above), you will not gain any erect length.
After penis lengthening surgery you must wear a penis extender every day for 1 year to prevent reattachment of the ligaments.
If any minor increase in erect length is observed by the patient during the year following surgery, it is due to the wearing of the penis extender rather than the surgery.
“A penis extender, or liposuction of the pubic fat pad, are the only options that work if the patient is seeking additional erect length.”
Alternative methods to increase your erect penis length are:
Method 1. Wear a Penis Extender for a very long time, there is some evidence that you will gain length.
Method 2. Liposuction of the fat below the abdominal region.
(An excellent method if you are overweight)
For men with a large stomach, liposuction to remove fat below the abdomen (area highlighted below in blue) can make the penis protrude further out from the body, making it appear longer.
The stomach can be so large as to partially bury the penis.
Patient’s who are obese may find that a lot of their penis is hidden away under excess fat.
This fat can be removed by the surgeon to bring more of the penis out.
(Blue area highlighted is where fat is removed from).
Penis-lengthening surgery is not popular among mainstream Urologists.
As it has not been shown to be safe or effective the procedure is not available from the NHS.

Short Answer: 35% satisfaction rate
Unfortunately, satisfaction rates with penis lengthening surgery are not high. A 7-year study by St Peters Andrology Centre in London (link) found that only 35% of patients were happy with the results after penis lengthening surgery.
We believe this is down to poor technique, and mis-selling of the benefits of penis lengthening surgery (for example by claiming it makes the erect penis longer).

But only if the ligaments reattach. We always use a silicone buffer to help prevent ligaments from reattaching and the penis shortening.
In a small number of cases the silicone buffer can become infected and may need to be surgically removed.
Wearing a penis extender for 8 hours per day for 1 year after surgery also helps to prevent retraction and shortening of the penis.
Make sure you are familiar with wearing a penis extender before your surgery and are convinced that wearing one for this length of time will not disrupt your normal routine.
Explanation:
If you don’t wear a penis extender after penis lengthening surgery, the ligaments are likely to reattach to the penis shaft, further down towards the head, making your penis shorter than before surgery.

Short Answer: Yes, a V, Y or Z-shaped scar.
This is what the scarring looks like (UK and EU clinic photos 2011-2018).

Explanation:
If you are in a long-term relationship, and your partner knows about your penis lengthening surgery, then scarring may not cause you any embarrassment.
If you are a young man and expect to have numerous sexual partners during your lifetime, then ask yourself whether you will feel comfortable explaining away the scars under your pubic hair; in the shape of the letters V, Y, Z.
A scar will need to be made to cut the ligaments. It won’t be fully hidden by your pubic hair.
Significant quantities of counterfeit Voluma, Volux and Ultra fillers are currently being used in the United Kingdom.
These products are purchased at 10% of the price of genuine filler and then sold for as little as £150 per ml.
The filler is manufactured in China in conditions which are not sterile and transported in inadequate conditions.

The procedure takes less than 30 minutes on an out-patient basis. However, 2 hours should be set aside in order to have a consultation with the surgeon and ask any additional questions you have. Topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) also has to be given time to work.
You can leave the clinic and walk or drive home straight away.
Yes. As explained in the section What is Hyaluronic Acid, an enzyme Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler into water, after which it passes safely out of the body. This can be done at any time.
This is the reason why Hyaluronic acid penis enlargement is a safer approach to penis enlargement than other methods.
Put simply, in the unlikely event you wish to return to your normal penis size, you can do so, by either waiting for the filler to naturally dissolve itself or by injecting an enzyme to dissolve it away.
Hyaluronic acid ‘HA’ is not toxic. HA is naturally produced by the body.
HA has been used in facial fillers for a number of years, and in osteoarthritis, where it is an important part of the synovial fluid that cushions the joints.
Hyaluronic acid is sold as an oral supplement for some conditions.
Find more information on HA, see here
Men choose to have girth enhancement purely to increase self-confidence or as an ego boost, and may not have a small penis at all.
The majority of our patients have an average penis size.
For those in long-term relationships, consideration should be given to the penis size preference of one’s partner.
Incompatibility in sizes can be the cause of significant dissatisfaction in sexual relationships.
It may be inadvisable to proceed with a girth increase (if your partner prefers a smaller or thinner penis, for example).
You can have a permanent result; but, the risks are higher.
It is possible to travel to Tijuana, Mexico or Brazil to have PMMA or silicone injected, where there is no regulation against its use.
However, PMMA is a processed polymer similar to plastic and does not belong in the body.
It is near impossible to surgically remove PMMA beads from the penis if there is a bad reaction.
The cost of doing so is high financially, as well as causing damage to tissue into which the PPMA has integrated.
Hyaluronic acid, by comparison, can be dissolved away by injecting Hyaluronidase enzyme solution.
It might sound like a good idea to make the penis “fatter” by using fat.
However, the penis is not made of fat, to begin with, and fat has a soft fatty texture which is not ideal in the penis.
Penile surgery is a higher risk and largely obsolete approach to penis enlargement.
A surgical approach is taking unnecessary risks, with your penis.
For penis thickness, surgery is no longer necessary.
The solution used in the penis is smooth and firm and will integrate with the surrounding tissue naturally, taking on its warmth and feel to the touch.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient in the skin responsible for retaining moisture and supporting the skin structure.

For erect length, no.
For flaccid length, yes, the weight of the filler can cause it to hang lower in the flaccid state.
* Individual results may vary from person to person.
However, as is also the case for ‘penis lengthening surgery‘, there is no increased length in the erect state.
For the majority of men, it is extra length when hard that matters, not more length when soft.
The good news for heterosexual couples is that there is evidence that the majority of women prefer penis girth over penis length. Penis girth is what is provided by this procedure.
In a University of Texas Study, 90% of partners preferred a wider penis while only 10% preferred a longer penis, a link to the study is here.
A study by UCLA’s Sexual Psychophysiology and Affective Neuroscience (SPAN) Laboratory found that women prefer a larger penis girth for casual sex.
Results of this study, as reported by LiveScience, have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
No.
You fit squarely within the normal range of men.
If you want a bigger penis you are in the majority – most men would enjoy a larger penis.
Opting to increase penis girth is more normal (some might argue) than:
- Investing significant time in the gym body-building (steroids and supplements)
- Spending excessively on luxuries for the ego, such as the cliché of a sports car
- Just going through life unsatisfied with an important aspect of your body and identity when there is a relatively easy solution.
Yes.
The technique is available at the North Valley Plastic Surgery in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and at the Nefretete Klinik in Bonn, Germany and is relatively common in South Korea.

We suggest having the procedure in the UK for reasons of safety and after-care.
Enlarging the girth of the penis through the injection of Hyaluronic acid fillers is steadily replacing surgery due to the relative safety of the procedure versus surgery.
In countries where girth enhancement is more commonplace, such as in South Korea, an injectable filler is now used in over 80% of penile girth enhancement procedures and the percentage is steadily increasing.
Injectable filler enlargement of the penis is now the most popular penis girth procedure in the UK.
It is best to see a Plastic Surgeon or Urologist who is experienced in penis enlargement for this procedure.
Unless the filler is injected into the correct layer of the penis the result will be poor.
A correct understanding of the penis anatomy will avoid any damage to the penis, and ensure the filler is injected in a sufficiently deep layer (deep to the Dartos fascia).
We offer an initial 8-10 syringes of filler, after which additional filler can be added, if desired, after 2 weeks.
This is the safest approach.
It is possible to have more filler, but this must be done cumulatively for the best result, and the highest level of safety.
Ultimately, the girth limit will be determined by the doctor.
Depending on the rate of reabsorption, a repeat will be required within 12-18 months.
If you require 4 syringes of filler, for example, this would cost £1,060 (4 x £265 per ml) at the lower top-up price per ml.
The volume of additional filler required will be lower than in the initial procedure, due to residual filler remaining.
The growth of new tissue is stimulated by the procedure including, through the process of neocollagenesis. However, we do not guarantee a specific level of new tissue gain.
Foreign clinics using Hyaluronic acid for penis girth have reported that up to 50% of the volume of filler injected, will become permanent penis girth gain.
It is important to know, that while very rare, it is possible for the filler to be reabsorbed in only a matter of months. This is not the expected outcome, but it is possible.
Yes.
The filler will slowly reabsorb, usually over 12-18 months (Voluma option).
Eventually, all of the filler will be dissolved. You may need approximately 1/2 the original amount of filler again in a repeat treatment in 12 months if you wish to maintain your extra penis girth.
*Results may vary from person to person.
Yes.
Your penis will be instantly thicker following the treatment, due to the filler added to the penis.
You can book in for the treatment on the same day as your consultation with the plastic surgeon and have both the consultation and the treatment completed within the hour.
Yes.
The penis will function normally in terms of erection and urination. The angle of the erection may be lower due to the increased weight of the penis, and the penis may hang slightly lower when soft (less retraction). The penis will have more girth or thickness when soft and when hard.
The angle of the erection may be lower due to the increased weight of the penis, and the penis may hang slightly lower when soft (less retraction). The penis will have more girth or thickness when soft and when hard.
The penis will have more girth or thickness when soft and when hard.
You should not have sexual intercourse for 14 days following the procedure.
This ensures that all injection points are completely healed over, in order to reduce any chance of infection.
During the first 3-5 days, the filler is also semi-malleable and will be susceptible to movement should the patient engage in sexual intercourse.
No stitches are required. Tiny holes are made by the needle in order to inject the filler solution.
Yes.
You are able to drive home following the procedure.
No.
This is a non-invasive approach to increasing the girth of the penis, using established techniques from aesthetic medicine.
The procedure itself is completed in less than 30 minutes, with the application of topical anaesthetic cream only.
You will be awake during the procedure which involves the doctor injecting the Hyaluronic acid filler under the skin of the penis around the penis shaft.
Patients are able to leave the clinic directly after the procedure and are free to walk or drive home.
The procedure requires no stitches and leaves only tiny injection points from the filler syringe, which close on their own in a matter of seconds.
You could, for example, come in during your lunch hour and have a 30-minute consultation with the doctor.
Then, if you wanted to go ahead, the doctor would give you some numbing cream to apply to the penis.
Then wait 30 minutes; for the penis to go numb.
You then lay back, and the doctor injects the filler into a layer deep to the Dartos fascia.
The injection points from the needle close over in a matter of seconds, or a few minutes at most.
You could go straight back to work if you take it easy, for example, if you work in an office.
However no manual labour or heavy lifting for one week.
– You’re unlikely to experience pain during the procedure, or the recovery.
A video of the complete procedure is shown below. It is possible to complete the procedure with only one incision through the use of a cannula if preferred.
This is the safest medical approach available to thicken the penis and considerably safer than surgery.
Complications are rare and usually minor, including temporary swelling and mild bruising.
For more details on risks and possible complications, see here
Infection is a rare possibility. The risk is reduced with a course of antibiotics.
Worldwide, the number of facial aesthetic procedures performed using Hyaluronic acid-based fillers exceeds 5 million each year.
Complications are exceedingly rare when HA filler is injected by an experienced doctor.
The number of procedures performed using HA to enlarge the penis is lower at approximately 15,000 per year worldwide, of which approximately 10% are carried out at an Androfill Clinic.
Estimate Only
There is variation from patient to patient, so we have provided conservative estimates.
Many patients will achieve more girth than this (and a few potentially less).
Based on measurements of approximately 450 patients.
Erect Length

The amount of girth gained depends on the length of the penis and the amount of filler injected.
A shorter penis will require less filler, and therefore less cost. Conversely, a longer penis will require more filler.
Individual results will vary from patient to patient and results cannot be precisely predicted.
A substantial gain in penis size and will require some adjustment before any additional increase is contemplated.
The increase in girth can certainly be noticeable during sex, for both you and your partner, and we strongly recommend testing your new girth with any long-term partner, before opting for any additional size gains.
Further injections can be provided at a follow-up appointment as soon as two weeks later if additional girth is desired, and patients have flexibility in determining the amount of girth gained, within medically acceptable limits.
The safest and most effective approach is to add girth cumulatively, in manageable steps and with repeat visits, rather than an ‘all in one go’ approach.
As the recovery time is quite short, it is not a major inconvenience to have a small amount of additional filler on a subsequent visit should that be desired.
* Individual results will vary from person to person.
See our Before and After section for typical results.
It is possible for patients to increase their penis size significantly by purchasing a large amount of filler from Androfill.
However, maximum volume guidelines have been implemented in the case of Hyaluronic acid and Polycaprolactone based dermal fillers for a number of reasons, including:
- Irreversible stretching of the penis tissues.
- When tissue has been significantly stretched and remains that way for a long period of time, collagen and elastin fibers become damaged. As a result, they lose some of their ability to retract. In short, should you increase your penis thickness significantly, for example beyond 20% of its original size, it is likely that you will be left with loose skin should you ever stop using the product and return to your original penis size.
- Single procedures of more than 10 ml should be discouraged and patients should be warned of the risk of permanently stretching penile tissues once the total amount of filler they purchase exceeds either 20 ml or 20% increase from their original size.
- Limits of Hyaluronic acid to provide lift/firmness.
- If too much Hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the penis it is likely that the erection will feel softer. This is not due to any impairment in the ability of the patient to gain an erection, but instead, it is due to the increasing thickness of the Hyaluronic acid gel layer being built up inside the penis. Even the hardest of Hyaluronic acid gels will compress if the layer of filler is sufficiently thick. This is sometimes referred to as the “padded penis” effect.
- A softer variety of Hyaluronic acid filler will cause the erection to feel less firm with as little as 10 ml of filler injected (generally a 10% increase in penis thickness).
- A very hard Hyaluronic acid filler may adequately support 20 ml of filler and an increase in circumference of 1 inch or more before becoming noticeably less hard in the erect state.
- These aspects of Hyaluronic acid fillers are called rheological properties, more information can be found here. Molliard SG, Bétemps JB, Hadjab B, Topchian D, Micheels P, Salomon D. Key rheological properties of hyaluronic acid fillers: from tissue integration to product degradation. Plast Aesthet Res 2018;5:17. Article Link
- A patient will need to use a higher risk collagen bio-stimulator filler such as Ellanse should they wish to maintain erection firmness when increasing penis thickness beyond approximately a 1-inch gain in circumference.
- In short, have less than 20 ml of Hyaluronic acid filler to lower the risk of permanently stretching penile tissue, and to ensure the erection does not begin to feel less firm. Exceeding a 1-inch (20%) gain in circumference will require the use of a collagen bio-stimulator like Ellanse if erection firmness is to be maintained.
Androfill will better any price offered in the UK by £50
Requirements: A procedure of 10 ml or more. UK clinics only.
