Penis Girth Enhancement FAQ
Who is the ideal candidate for penis girth enhancement?
The ideal candidate for penis girth enhancement is a man seeking to enhance his confidence and improve his and his partner’s sexual satisfaction by increasing the girth of his penis in both its flaccid and erect states. This procedure is designed to enhance appearance and boost self-esteem. While flaccid length may appear slightly longer due to the weight of the filler, it’s important to understand that erect length will remain unchanged. Candidates should be in good physical and emotional health, with realistic expectations about the achievable results. Individuals with certain chronic medical conditions may not qualify for this treatment and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
How do you ensure safety and efficacy?
Safety and efficacy are our top priorities. At The District Injector, we use only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers, which are widely recognized for their safety and effectiveness. Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, follows protocols based on the latest scientific research and extensive clinical experience to ensure optimal results while minimizing risks. Every treatment is tailored to the individual, and Erica conducts thorough assessments to ensure the treatment plan aligns with your goals and anatomy.
Do you have to be circumcised to receive penile girth enhancement?
No, both circumcised and uncircumcised individuals are eligible for penile girth enhancement with fillers.
How much filler is needed for penis enhancement?
The amount of filler required depends on your current size and desired outcome. Longer penises typically need more filler/volume to achieve noticeable results. On average, individuals with a penis size of around 5.5 inches require 8–16 syringes in the initial treatment session to achieve proper girth enhancement. During your consultation, Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, will assess and discuss your goals in detail and provide a personalized treatment plan for the amount of filler needed to achieve your desired goals as well as the cost of your treatment.
What does penis filler feel like?
Penis filler is designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural tissue, so your penis will feel and function naturally after treatment.
Do you offer silicone or permanent fillers?
No, Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, does not use nor recommend silicone or permanent fillers for penis enhancement due to their significant risks, including deformities, irreversible complications, and potential inflammatory reactions. Instead, she exclusively uses hyaluronic acid fillers, which are safe, effective, and reversible if adjustments are ever needed.
Do you offer fat injections for girth enhancement?
No, we do not offer fat injections. This surgical approach carries risks, such as uneven results and complications. Our focus is on non-surgical enhancements using safe, FDA-approved dermal fillers.
What happens during a non-surgical girth enhancement procedure?
The treatment is straightforward and begins with the application of a local anesthetic and/or nerve block to ensure comfort. Next, hyaluronic acid filler is carefully injected along the shaft of the penis. The procedure is minimally invasive, with little downtime, and the entire treatment session typically takes 60 minutes.
What is the recovery process for penis girth enhancement?
Recovery is typically quick and straightforward. You may experience mild tenderness, swelling, and bruising for a few days after the procedure. Some individuals may experience moderate swelling and bruising that may persist for up to two weeks, with residual mild effects potentially lasting an additional two weeks. Most clients return to work and light activities within 1–2 days as tolerated. However, strenuous activities, including sexual activity, masturbation, and oral sex, should be avoided for at least one week to ensure proper healing.
What results can someone expect from the procedure?
Penis girth enhancement delivers immediate results that fully settle within 2–3 weeks. Most clients achieve a girth increase ranging from 0.25 inches to 2 inches, depending on the amount of filler used. Additionally, flaccid length may increase by up to 0.5 inches, as the weight of the filler causes the penis to hang lower and limits its ability to retract. Please note that if your primary goal is a substantial length increase, Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, may recommend exploring alternative treatments, such as penile implants, to better meet your objectives.
How often do you need maintenance treatments?
While fillers naturally fade over approximately 3 years, most clients choose to maintain their results with follow-up treatments every 12–24 months. Maintenance requires less filler than the initial procedure, making it a cost-effective way to sustain your enhancement.
What if I want more girth after treatment?
If safety and natural appearance can continue to be maintained, additional filler can be added for further enhancement as early as six weeks after the last treatment. A great time to mention your interest in more girth would be during your follow-up appointment.
What are the potential side effects of penis filler injections?
Common side effects of penis filler injections include bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days to weeks. Rarely, complications such as cysts, bumps, skin irregularities, filler migration, infection, or inflammation may occur. While these issues are uncommon, Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, places the highest priority on safety and adheres to strict protocols to minimize risks. Any potential concerns will be thoroughly discussed and addressed during your consultation to ensure you feel informed and confident about the treatment.
Does penis filler affect semen quality?
There is no scientific evidence or studies at this time suggesting that hyaluronic acid fillers impact semen quality or testicular function.
Does penis filler affect sensitivity or erectile function?
Penis filler injections do not negatively impact sensitivity or erectile function. For those seeking to improve erection quality, we offer additional treatments, such as hormone replacement therapy, shockwave therapy, oral and injectable prescription medications, and the D-Shot, all tailored to your needs.
Is the glans injected as part of the procedure?
Yes, filler can be injected into the glans (head of the penis) for enhancement. However, achieving a noticeable size increase in the glans typically requires multiple treatments. According to Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, the amount of filler typically required to meet common glans size enhancement requests carries risks that outweigh the potential benefits. This is particularly beneficial for clients with premature ejaculation, as it can help improve sensitivity control.
Do you inject the glans for premature ejaculation?
Yes. Medically, premature ejaculation is often linked to heightened sensitivity in the glans of the penis, which can cause difficulty in delaying ejaculation during sexual activity. Penile glans filler, typically made from hyaluronic acid, creates a layer between the nerve endings and external stimuli. This additional volume acts as a buffer, slightly dulling sensation in the glans, which can help delay the ejaculatory response. This ensures that sexual pleasure is maintained while reducing over-sensitivity. The suitability and effectiveness of this treatment vary by individual, and a thorough consultation is necessary to determine the best approach.
Do you see individuals who had previous enhancements elsewhere?
Yes, we welcome clients seeking to adjust or improve upon previous enhancement treatments. To ensure optimal results, we request records of prior procedures and products used. Erica Granteed, AGACNP-BC, will evaluate your case and develop a tailored treatment plan that prioritizes safety, function, and aesthetic of your penis.
When can I use a penis pump after the procedure?
You should wait at least 2–3 weeks after the procedure before using a penis pump to allow the filler to settle properly.
What Does the Treatment Cost?
The cost of treatment depends on the amount of filler/volume required to achieve an individual’s desired outcome and whether neurotoxin treatment is needed. On average:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Filler: Prices typically range from $4,500 to $12,000+, based on the number of syringes needed to achieve your desired results.
- Neurotoxin: Costs start at $1,200, depending on the amount of product required for your treatment plan.
