Penile Augmentation with Fillers For Enhanced Girth & Confidence

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Penile Filler Work?

Penile filler involves the injection of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers directly into the shaft and glans of the penis. These fillers add volume, resulting in a noticeable increase in girth. The treatment leverages the hydrating and volumizing properties of hyaluronic acid, which is widely used in facial fillers and is highly effective for penile enhancement as well. By targeting both the shaft and the glans, the filler not only increases girth but also adds flaccid length by preventing full retraction, resulting in a more pronounced and confident appearance even when the penis is not erect.

Am I a Good Candidate for Penis Injections?

Penile filler is ideal for men who are dissatisfied with the girth of their penis and are looking for a non-surgical solution to enhance their appearance, confidence, and sensations. Good candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking a procedure that offers immediate results without the risks associated with surgery. 

In addition to enhancing size, penile fillers can also contribute to heightened sensations, making them an excellent choice for those looking to improve both their physical appearance and their sexual experience. If you have specific aesthetic goals, want to boost your self-esteem, or seek heightened sensations, penile filler may be the right choice for you.

What Are the Benefits of Penile Fillers?

• Penile fillers increase girth, enhancing appearance and confidence.
• The treatment may add flaccid length by preventing full retraction.
• As a non-surgical option, it offers a safer, quicker alternative to surgery.
• Immediate results are visible, with full effects developing in a few weeks.
• The procedure is customizable to your specific goals.
• Recovery is quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible and adjustable for added safety.
• Many men report a boost in self-esteem and satisfaction after treatment.

What Are Common Areas of Penile Filler Injections?

Penile filler is primarily used to enhance the girth of the shaft and, in some cases, the glans (head) of the penis. This treatment is designed to provide a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance, with the added benefit of improving confidence and satisfaction in intimate settings.

When Should I Avoid Penis Injections?

Penile filler may not be suitable for individuals with certain chronic medical conditions, allergies to hyaluronic acid, or unrealistic expectations about the outcome. Additionally, those with active infections or inflammation in the treatment area should postpone the procedure until fully healed. Men with prior penile implants may also be disqualified from receiving penile fillers, though eligibility is subject to approval after a thorough consultation. Dr. Schwarzburg will carefully assess your medical history and current condition to determine whether penile filler is the right option for you.

How Do I Prepare for Non-Surgical Penile Enhancement?

To prepare for your penile filler procedure, it’s important to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or warfarin for a few days before treatment. This helps minimize bruising and swelling. Dr. Schwarzburg will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions to ensure you are fully prepared for the procedure.

What Is the Actual Procedure Like?

The penile filler procedure at Skinly Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Schwarzburg will assess your goals and determine the appropriate amount of filler for your desired outcome. The treatment area is then numbed with a local anesthetic injection to ensure a pain-free experience. 

Depending on the specific needs of the patient, Dr. Schwarzburg may use either a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula to administer the hyaluronic acid filler. The filler is then strategically placed either subdermally, intradermally, or subcutaneously along the shaft and if desired, the glans of the penis. This careful and precise technique ensures optimal results while minimizing discomfort. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The entire procedure, including consultation and preparation, usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

What Is the Aftercare?

After your penile filler treatment, it is crucial to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and proper healing. You should avoid strenuous physical activity, including sexual activity, for at least one week. Additionally, there should be no bathing for 24 hours, no strenuous activities for 48 hours, and no sauna or swimming for 48 hours. 

Dr. Schwarzburg may also prescribe post-injection antibiotics for two days to prevent any potential infections. Massaging the treated area as directed can help distribute the filler evenly and reduce the risk of lumps. Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome from your procedure.

What Is the Downtime After Procedure?

Downtime is minimal following penile filler injections. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising, which typically resolves within one to two weeks. You can usually return to light activities within 1-2 days, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for about a week.

What Are the Risks and Complications With Penile Fillers?

Penile filler injections are a highly advanced procedure that should only be performed by a highly trained and experienced medical professional. Common side effects include bruising, which may last for up to two weeks, and swelling in the treated area. Some patients may also experience lumps, bumps, or minor filler displacement. However, these issues can often be corrected with Hylenex, an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid filler, allowing for adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.

In rare cases, there is a risk of infection or more significant filler migration. However, these risks are greatly minimized when the procedure is performed by a skilled and experienced practitioner like Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics. 

When Will I See the Results?

Results from penile filler injections are immediate, with full effects visible after about two weeks once the initial swelling and bruising have subsided.

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of penile filler results depends on the type of filler used. With hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers like Juvederm, results can last up to 2 years in the shaft and around 6-12 months in the glans. However, if Radiesse or a combination of HA and Radiesse is used, the results can extend up to 3 years. 

Minor touch-ups may be needed to maintain optimal results over time. Individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific areas treated also play a role in the duration of the results. Dr. Schwarzburg will tailor your treatment plan to ensure long-lasting and satisfying outcomes.

What If I Don’t Like My Results?

If you’re not satisfied with your penile filler results, adjustments can be easily made. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible, and Dr. Schwarzburg can use Hylenex to dissolve the filler if needed, allowing for instantaneous corrections or removal. This ensures that you can achieve the outcome you desire and provides peace of mind knowing that changes are possible. The dissolving process if fast and usually takes 24-48 hours.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions required varies based on your initial size and desired results. Most patients start with 6-12 syringes during their first session, with additional treatments available to further enhance the results if desired.

Are Penile Fillers Safe?

Yes, penile fillers are a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Schwarzburg. At Skinly Aesthetics, we use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid and hydroxylapatite fillers and follow strict safety protocols to ensure optimal results and minimize risks.

Do Penile Injections Hurt?

Despite common misconceptions, penile filler injections are virtually painless. Dr. Schwarzburg uses advanced techniques and local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort, with a pain level of 1-2 out of 10. Any post-treatment soreness is mild and easily managed with standard pain relief.

What Is the Cost of Non-Surgical Penile Augmentation?

Penile filler augmentation is a highly advanced non-surgical procedure that offers results comparable to surgery. Due to the complexity of the treatment and the expertise required, only a few select doctors are qualified to perform it. 

In New York, the cost of penile filler typically starts at $5,000 and can go as high as $30,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure, number of syringes used and the credentials of the physician performing it. 

What Are Different Types of Penile Fillers?

At Skinly Aesthetics, the choice of penile filler is tailored to ensure the safest and most effective results for each patient. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such Juvederm and Restylane are the preferred option due to their safety, reversibility, and ability to provide natural-looking results. HA fillers are highly compatible with the body and can be easily adjusted if needed, making them an ideal choice for penile enhancement.

Another option is Radiesse, a calcium hydroxylapatite filler. While Radiesse is typically used for facial contouring, it can also be employed in penile enhancement in a hyperdilute form or mixed with HA fillers. 

Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler, is generally not recommended for penile augmentation due to its lower predictability and the potential risk of granuloma development. Similarly, PMMA fillers such as Bellafill are discouraged because they are permanent and cannot be reversed, which poses significant risks if adjustments are needed.

Can I Get Silicone Injections?

No, silicone injections are not recommended for penile enhancement. Silicone is a permanent material that can lead to serious complications, including tissue damage, inflammation, and even disfigurement. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, silicone cannot adjusted or removed, making any complications completely irreversible.

Will My Penis Look Natural After Injections?

Yes, your penis will look natural after penile filler injections when performed by an experienced practitioner like Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics. The procedure is tailored to enhance your natural anatomy, focusing on proportion and symmetry for realistic, aesthetically pleasing results. Hyaluronic acid fillers, which mimic the body’s natural substances, ensure a smooth, seamless appearance that boosts confidence without looking artificial.

What Is the Expected Increase in Girth Size?

The increase in girth size after penile filler injections is highly individualized and depends on the amount of filler used and your specific anatomy. On average, patients can expect an increase in girth ranging from 0.5 to 2 inches. Typically, 1-2 syringes of filler may result in a modest increase of about 0.25 inches in circumference. 

For those looking to achieve a more noticeable enhancement, approximately 8 syringes are usually needed to achieve a 0.5-inch increase in girth. To reach a more substantial increase of 1-2 inches, 10-15 syringes may be required. 

Will the Length Increase as Well?

While penile filler primarily focuses on increasing girth, it can also have a modest effect on length, particularly when the penis is flaccid. The added volume from the filler can prevent full retraction, which may result in a slight increase in flaccid length, typically up to 0.5 inches. However, it’s important to note that significant increases in erect length are generally not achieved through filler injections alone. 

Do I Have to Be Circumcised?

No, you do not have to be circumcised to receive penile filler injections. Both circumcised and uncircumcised men can benefit from this procedure. Dr. Schwarzburg has extensive experience working with both circumcised and uncircumcised patients, ensuring that the filler is applied in a way that looks natural and achieves the desired results.

When Can I Have Sex After Treatment?

After receiving penile filler injections, it’s important to allow time for proper healing to ensure the best results. You should avoid any sexual activity, including intercourse and masturbation, for at least 7 days following the procedure. This period of rest helps minimize the risk of complications, such as filler displacement, increased swelling or infection. 

Will I Have More Sensation Following the Procedure?

Penile filler injections can lead to enhanced sensation for some men, particularly due to the increased girth and improved blood flow in the treated areas. The added volume can create a heightened sensitivity during sexual activity, which may enhance your overall experience. However, it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary, and while some patients report increased sensation, others may not notice a significant change.

How Many Syringes Can Be Injected at Once?

The number of syringes that can be injected during a single session varies depending on your individual anatomy, desired results, and the specific recommendations of Dr. Schwarzburg. Typically, it is safe and effective to inject between 4 to 10 syringes in one session. However, in certain cases, more syringes can be administered if needed, up to 15 syringes in a single session. This approach allows for significant enhancement while ensuring that the filler is distributed evenly and safely.

What Other Treatments Complement Penile Fillers?

Penile fillers can be enhanced with treatments like Shockwave Therapy and the P-Shot® to improve blood flow, sensitivity, and erectile function. Penile Botox is another option, helping to relax muscles and reduce premature ejaculation while providing a mild size increase. Combining these treatments with penile fillers maximizes both aesthetic and functional results. 

Is Penile Filler Worth It?

For many men, penile filler offers a significant boost in confidence and satisfaction with their appearance, making it a worthwhile investment. The procedure’s non-surgical nature, immediate results, and minimal downtime make it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their penile girth without undergoing surgery.

Is There an Alternative to Penile Filler?

For those seeking alternatives, options such as penile implants or other surgical procedures may be considered. However, these alternatives come with increased risks and recovery time compared to the non-surgical penile filler offered at Skinly Aesthetics.

How Do I Get Started?

Getting started with penile filler at Skinly Aesthetics is simple and straightforward. The first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg, where you’ll discuss your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have. During this consultation, Dr. Schwarzburg will assess your anatomy and determine the best treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. He will explain the procedure in detail, including the number of syringes recommended, potential outcomes, and any complementary treatments that may enhance your results. Once your personalized plan is in place, you can schedule your treatment at a time that’s convenient for you.
