Penis enlargement is often considered by many men to improve confidence, sexual performance, or appearance. Treatments generally fall into two categories: surgical and non-surgical. Each approach has unique benefits, limitations, and recovery considerations.
This guide explains the differences, helping you make an informed choice. We also cover how non-surgical procedures like PRP fillers (P-Shot) work and how to book a consultation online. Learn more about Male Enhancement Treatments.
Surgical Penis Enlargement Options
Surgical procedures involve permanent changes to penile length or girth. They are performed in hospitals or specialist clinics under anesthesia.
Common Surgical Techniques
Penile Lengthening Surgery – Cutting the suspensory ligament to extend length.
Girth Enhancement Surgery – Fat grafting or dermal implants for thickness.
Combination Procedures – Some surgeries address both length and girth.
Benefits of Surgery
Permanent enhancement
Predictable volume or length increase
Suitable for severe anatomical concerns
Limitations and Risks
Longer recovery time
Potential complications: infection, scarring, nerve damage
Higher cost
Not ideal for patients seeking minimal downtime
For general surgical safety guidelines, see the NHS Cosmetic Surgery Overview
Non-Surgical Penis Enlargement Options
Non-surgical options are minimally invasive treatments that often use PRP (platelet-rich plasma), dermal fillers, or vacuum devices. These focus on gradual enhancement with minimal downtime.
PRP Penis Enhancement (P-Shot)
The P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood to stimulate tissue growth, improve girth, and enhance erectile quality.
Procedure Steps:
Blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge.
PRP is injected into penile tissue under local anesthesia.
Results develop gradually over several weeks, with minimal downtime.

Which Option Is Right for You?
Choosing the right treatment depends on your goals, budget, risk tolerance, and recovery preference.
Surgery may suit those who want permanent, predictable results and accept longer recovery.
Non-surgical options like PRP are ideal for men seeking gradual enhancement, minimal downtime, and natural results.
Both surgical and non-surgical penis enlargement options offer unique advantages. Non-surgical treatments such as PRP fillers provide a safe, minimally invasive, and effective alternative to surgery, with lower risk and recovery time.
