Who can benefit from medical penoplasty?
For some men, enlarging their penis is a necessity. Some may have complexes that manifest themselves during sexual intercourse, in sports locker rooms, or when a change of life takes its toll on their self-confidence. Other men do not suffer from the appearance of their sex, but simply wish to enlarge their penis to bring more pleasure to their partner during lovemaking.
The demand for penile augmentation has been around for a long time, and the taboo is gradually being lifted, thanks in particular to medical penoplasty. Using hyaluronic acid injections, this technique frees the patient from the constraints of surgery, and is particularly suitable for men who dread the operating theatre.
Whatever their age, patients who choose this technique are convinced that having a larger penis improves self-esteem and leads to better sexual performance, as a ripple effect.
How is a medical penoplasty performed?
The procedure takes place in a doctor's office. Hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin of the penis, using a fine cannula to distribute it evenly throughout the penis.
The procedure requires no incision and is virtually painless, since a very light local anaesthetic is administered beforehand. The quantity injected depends on the size of the penis and the patient's request. After the injections, slight swelling and occasional bruising may occur. Post-treatment massages are recommended to ensure good distribution of the product in the penis and a harmonious result.
Activities or sports can be resumed on the same day, but it is preferable to wait a little before resuming sexual activity (until the edema has subsided).
A follow-up visit takes place one month after the injections to correct any irregularities. There is no scar, and the correction is discreet and very natural.
What are the advantages of using hyaluronic acid?
Injecting hyaluronic acid is a simple procedure with immediate visible results and no scarring. The product is biocompatible and resorbable, with no risk of rejection and no need for prior testing.
Depending on its viscosity, it can restore volume to areas lacking it, which is precisely the effect sought in penile augmentation.
There are only a few contraindications to penoplasty with hyaluronic acid injections: some are medical (autoimmune diseases or blood coagulation problems) and others are psychological (penis enlargement does not solve erection problems).
What are the results of medical penoplasty?
- Medical penoplasty offers patients an increase in penile circumference of between two and four centimetres on average, depending on the volume of hyaluronic acid injected and the patient's anatomy.
- Enlargement can be appreciated both at rest and when erect.
- A gain in length at rest is also observed, as the penis is heavier due to the presence of the product and retracts less. This result does not apply to the erect penis.
Penoplasty with hyaluronic acid injections is not a lengthening penoplasty. If this is your wish, surgery is required to weaken or even sever the suspensory ligament of the penis. As hyaluronic acid is resorbable, the result of penoplasty is not definitive. Repeat injections are necessary to maintain the desired appearance.
