Are Penis Fillers Safe?: Risks , Benefits And Alternatives

Penis fillers have become increasingly popular as a non-surgical way to enhance girth and boost confidence. But many men considering treatment ask the same important question: “Are penis fillers safe?”

At Moorgate Andrology, we believe patients deserve transparent, expert advice before making a decision. Let’s look at the benefits, risks, and alternatives to help you make an informed choice.

It was 12 years ago now that we first introduced penis enlargement injections to the United Kingdom. We have spent years perfecting our techniques and updating the fillers that we use today. 

✅ The Benefits of Penis Fillers

1. Non-Surgical Option – No incisions, no general anaesthetic. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the penis first

2. Quick Procedure – Usually completed in under an hour, with most taking just 30 minutes

3. Immediate Results – Noticeable girth increase straight away.

4. Temporary & Reversible – Most fillers last 12–24 months and naturally dissolve over time

These advantages make fillers appealing to men who want to “test the waters” before committing to a permanent solution like surgery.

⚠️ The Risks of Penis Fillers

While penis fillers are generally safe when performed by Urologists, there are risks to consider:

• Swelling and Bruising – Common side effects that usually resolve within days. The amount of swelling and bruising does vary between patients. Since we introduced cannula treatments these amount of swelling and bruising is much less than in needle treatments.

• Lumps or Unevenness – Can occur if filler is not injected evenly. Even then, lumps can still occur in some cases that may or may not require further treatment

• Infection – Rare but possible if aftercare is not followed.

• Migration of Filler – Product can sometimes shift slightly over time. In such cases further remedial treatment or additional filler may be needed to rebalance everything. 

These risks are minimised when the procedure is carried out by experienced urologists in a clinical setting. Unfortunately, not all providers meet this standard, which is why choosing the right clinic is vital.

🔄 Alternatives to Penis Fillers

1. Penis Enlargement Surgery – Permanent results through ligament release and/or fat transfer.

2. Dermal Fat Graft – Long-lasting girth enhancement using your own purifies fat cells..

3. No Treatment – Some men find reassurance and confidence without medical intervention. Some men choose counselling which may be a more appropriate solution,
