As we approach the milestone of 100 episodes of “Meet the Penis”, our video channel on YouTube, I want to take a moment to discuss a topic that continues to gain significant traction: penile girth enhancement. 

This procedure has seen a meteoric rise in popularity recently, but unfortunately, much of this growth has occurred in the hands of individuals who are not qualified to perform such intricate and specialized treatments.

Penile girth enlargement can offer remarkable benefits, especially for patients who have undergone penile implant surgery. At UroFill®, we are currently in the process of publishing research on using fillers to address the common “ovoid appearance” some men experience post-implant. By employing penile filler injections, we can create a more rounded and natural-looking shape, effectively simulating the fullness that the urethra would normally provide during an erection.

This enhancement serves as an incredible ancillary procedure to penile implants, offering patients improved aesthetic outcomes and greater satisfaction. However, it is critical to emphasize that these procedures must be performed by board-certified urologists with expertise in andrology and penile implants.

The Risks of Unqualified Practitioners

Recently, our clinic welcomed a new patient who was experiencing severe complications with his implant from a girth enhancement procedure that had been poorly conducted by a dermatologist (instead of a highly trained board-certified urologist with experience with implants and penile enhancement. 

The result? An infection that risked compromising the surgical capsule around the implant. While the implant itself was unaffected, the lack of expertise of the dermatologist in handling such cases led to unnecessary complications. This situation highlights the dangers of entrusting such sensitive procedures to individuals without the proper training or experience.

Board-certified urologists with a background in andrology understand the intricacies of penile implants and penile girth enhancement. They are equipped to predict outcomes and manage complications effectively. 

For instance, a localized infection, while rare, can be addressed efficiently by a trained specialist—something dermatologists or aestheticians are ill-equipped to handle.

Choosing the Right Specialist

If you are considering penis girth enlargement, it is imperative to consult the same expert who performed your implant surgery or another highly qualified urologist with experience in both implants and aesthetics. Enhancing your penile implant should be about achieving the best possible outcome without compromising your health or the integrity of the original procedure.

At Perito Urology and UroFill®, we work with dedicated andrology specialists worldwide who prioritize patient safety and satisfaction. Whether you are seeking a penile implant, girth enhancement, or a combination of the two, choosing a qualified provider ensures a predictable and positive outcome.
