Penile filler refers to injectable material used to increase the girth of the penis. Penile filler treatment is performed in a clinical setting and is commonly used by patients looking for girth enhancement without surgery.
The most common product used to do this is hylauronic acid. Specifically, the filler used to augment the penis is the same one that is used to augment the cheeks of the face. These are called " deep tissue fillers" and are placed deeper in the dermis and they create volume.
Other similar products include collagen stimulating injections, however these are used less frequently due to increased risks of post-treatment complications.
Penis filler works by adding volume to the penile shaft. During the treatment , the Clinician creates a space between the dartos fascia and bucks fascia of the penis, into which the filler is placed. The filler is not placed into the chambers that fill with blood during erection. This placement creates immediate girth enhancement both in the flaccid and erect states.
Penile filler is suitable for patients who want an increase in flaccid and erect girth of the penis. It should be noted that these are girth enhancing treatments and not really performed for penile lengthening. The added weight of the filler on the penis may make it look slightly longer, but this should be viewed as a positibve side effect of the treatment.
It is generally chosen by men who wish to have a non-surgical approach and a lower cost option than penis enlargement surgery.
Depending on the product chosen , penile filler lasts between 6 months and two years. This may seem quite a large differential. but there are different formulations of hyaluronic acid filler and they dont all last the same. The longest-lasting HA filler for the penis is up to two years. These include the Moorgate Elite dermal filler for the penis.
One other factor to consider is that HA filler does not absorb at exactly the same rate for everyone. Absorption rates quoted by clinics should be taken as a average.
There are a few points to remember after having penile filler treatment. For the best results most Clinicians will ask you to follow this protocol , or similar
1. Avoid sexual activity for 7 to 10 days
2. Follow the post-treatment massage regime for at least two weeks, to help even distribution of the filler
3. Try and avoid gym and sporting activities for the first few days
4. When doing the massage, always massage with the foreskin pulled back if you are uncirumcised.
5. Try and keep the penis straight in the first two weeks
Penile fillers are considered low risk treatments. however, as in any medical treatment risks and complications can occur in some individuals. Most patients who have penile fillers do so without any complications. Here are the known risks for this procedure.
1. Infection
2. Minor lump and bump formations that may need further treatment
3. Bruising and swelling post-treatment
4. Rapid absorption of the filler
5. Lymphoedema.
