Hyaluronic Acid and the Penis

Hyaluronic acid and the penis

Hyaluronic acid fillers are a type of dermal filler commonly used in cosmetic procedures to add volume and fullness to the skin. The filler is injected into the targeted area, and is most often used to enhance facial features, such as the cheeks or lips, or to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.

Medical practitioners, including Dr. Paul Perito of Perito Urology, have pioneered the use of hyaluronic acid fillers for enhancement of the girth (width) of the penis. The procedure involves injecting the filler into the shaft of the penis to increase its circumference. Advocates of the procedure point to its ability to provide a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures such as penile silicone implants or fat grafts while avoiding many of the side effects associated with them. In addition to its safety, the girth enhancement procedure itself is fast and produces results over a short period of time. 

While effective as a filler, hyaluronic acid for penis girth enhancement is not a permanent solution; the effects of the filler can eventually wear off as it is absorbed into the body. This means that individuals who undergo the procedure may need to have repeat injections to maintain the desired results.

When cosmetic procedures are performed by unqualified professionals or beauticians, there are potential risks associated with the lack of medical expertise. These risks include infection, bleeding and/ or scarring. Individuals who are considering this procedure should consult with a qualified medical professional and carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks before making a decision.

The UroFill® girth enhancement technique is backed up by the longest and most exhaustive clinical trials (over eight years) compared to its competitors and is the only technique of its kind solely performed by board-certified and expert urologic surgeons.
