Q8. Can I have penis enlargement surgery on the NHS?

A8. That is unlikely. The NHS has finite resources and allocates them to areas which have the greatest need. Priority is given to essential medical need rather than what is considered ‘lifestyle surgery’.

However, if you have a congenital birth defect, have penile cancer or have damaged your penis as a result of an accident then you may be able to obtain surgery on the NHS. Speak to your GP about this as he/she will be able to advise you further and refer you to a surgeon if necessary.

If you cannot obtain help via the NHS then you will need to pay for surgery as a private patient. This means finding a suitable clinic and reputable surgeon.
