frequently asked questions
1. What is penile girth enhancement with HA fillers?
It is a procedure where hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is injected into the shaft to increase girth or thickness. Local anesthesia is used, and the procedure and recovery are usually quick.
2. What results can I expect?
This procedure increases thickness, not length. Most patients notice a visible widening of the shaft. Some achieve about an inch of added girth, depending on natural anatomy and the amount of filler used. Results vary per individual.
3. How long does it last?
HA fillers are gradually absorbed by the body. Effects usually last from one to several years. Some patients maintain results for up to five years, depending on lifestyle, body absorption, and filler type.
4. Will my penis return to its original size once the filler is absorbed?
The filler gradually disappears, so the return to natural size is slow. It may be close to your original size, but exact restoration is not guaranteed since tissue responses differ between individuals.
5. Will sensation change?
Some patients report increased sensation, while others notice little to no change. Sensation changes are not guaranteed and depend on individual sensitivity.
6. Can fillers be applied to the head (glans) of the penis?
Yes, a small amount can be applied to the glans, but it’s a sensitive area. Only experienced providers should perform this, after proper assessment.
7. Is the procedure safe?
Yes, when performed by a certified professional. Mild swelling, slight bruising, and temporary discomfort are normal.
8. What are the post-care guidelines?
Post-care is very important. Follow your clinician’s instructions carefully, especially during the 15-day healing period. This includes:
-
Avoid sexual activity for a few days.
-
Refrain from activities that cause sweating in the private area, like intense exercise or saunas.
-
Monitor swelling and care for the injection area as instructed.
-
Antibiotics are usually prescribed for a week to prevent infection.
-
During the procedure, you will be instructed on how to properly massage the area daily to maintain shape and smoothness.
9. Is there downtime?
Minimal. You can usually return to normal activities immediately, except those restricted during the healing phase.
10. Can I have a refill for more size?
Yes, additional sessions are possible if you want more girth. Refills are separate appointments and cost extra. They are done only after the initial results have stabilized and with clinician approval.
11. Are there different types of HA fillers used for penile girth enhancement?
Yes. There are two main categories used in this treatment, Basic HA fillers and Premium HA fillers. The difference lies in how the filler is manufactured, how it behaves in tissue, and how long it lasts.
Basic HA fillers are standard hyaluronic acid products. They can add volume and improve girth, but they tend to be softer, less structured, and break down more quickly. Because of this, results may not last as long and there can be a higher chance of uneven texture if the filler shifts during healing.
Premium HA fillers are designed with a more stable molecular structure. They hold their shape better, distribute more evenly, and integrate more smoothly with penile tissue. This leads to a more natural look and feel once healing is complete. Premium fillers also tend to last longer because they are absorbed more slowly by the body.
Most experienced clinicians prefer premium HA fillers for penile enhancement because they offer better control, smoother results, lower risk of irregularities, and longer-lasting outcomes. While they cost more upfront, patients often require fewer touch-ups over time.
12. Will it look and feel natural afterward?
Yes, in most cases. Once swelling subsides, results usually look and feel natural if proper technique and placement were used.
13. Does the filler disappear naturally?
Yes, HA fillers are naturally absorbable and gradually fade over time. This process is slow and does not cause permanent damage.
14. Why is premium HA filler preferred over basic HA filler? Premium HA filler is preferred because it provides more predictable, natural-looking results. Its stronger structure helps maintain even girth along the shaft, reduces the likelihood of lumps or migration, and holds volume for a longer period. Patients also report that premium fillers feel more natural once settled. For an area as sensitive and visible as the penis, the added safety margin and quality of outcome usually justify the higher cost.
15. Are there any side effects?
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, usually resolving in a few days. Serious complications are rare when performed by a trained professional.
16. Who is a good candidate?
Adults looking to increase penile girth who are in good health and have realistic expectations. A consultation with a certified provider is necessary to assess suitability.
17. Can I combine this with other cosmetic treatments?
Yes, some patients combine girth enhancement with other aesthetic treatments, but this should only be done under professional guidance.
18. How much does it cost?
Costs vary depending on the type and amount of filler used, as well as the provider’s expertise. Your clinician will give a personalized quote during consultation.
19. How should I prepare for the procedure?
Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, or anti-inflammatory drugs before the procedure unless cleared by your provider. Good hygiene is also important.
20. Does the procedure hurt?
Discomfort is minimal since local anesthesia is used. Some mild soreness may be felt afterward.
21. Can the filler cause lumps or irregularities?
Rarely, if the injection technique is proper and post-care is followed. Proper daily massage as instructed helps prevent lumps and maintains smoothness.
22. How soon can I see results?
Immediate thickening is visible right after the procedure, but swelling may be present for a few days. Final results are usually seen after 1–2 weeks.
23. Can I exercise or play sports after the procedure?
Avoid strenuous exercise or any activity that causes sweat in the private area for at least the first 2 weeks. Light activity is usually fine.
24. Can HA filler be removed if I don’t like the result?
Yes, HA fillers can be dissolved safely with a special enzyme (hyaluronidase) if needed. This should only be done by a qualified clinician.
25. How often should I follow up with my provider?
Your provider will schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and results. Regular check-ins are important to ensure safety and satisfaction.
