You may have seen a news story recently about an influencer who passed away after complications related to penis enlargement surgery. While we won’t mention any names, it has sparked a lot of conversation about the safety of some of these procedures.
So to clear up any misinformation, today we’re answering the question:
Is Penis Enlargement Surgery Safe?
All forms of penis enlargement carry some risks. Penis enlargement surgery is a lot more dangerous than penis fillers, as it involves making structural changes to the penis itself, instead of a reversible injection.
This risks of penis enlargement surgery include:
- Infection – Wounds can become infected due to poor aftercare
- Scarring – Visible evidence of the surgery
- Deformity – Bending, lumps or asymmetry that weren’t present pre-treatment
- Loss of Performance – Penis enlargement can lead to poor sexual performance, or increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction
- Loss of Sensation – You may notice a lack of feeling in your penis after surgery
There is also a chance that you will be disappointed with the results of your treatment, which is especially problematic if you underwent surgery, as that is irreversible.
Sometimes it isn’t the surgery itself that’s the most dangerous. As has been highlighted in the news, an unregistered doctor is often the reason that surgeries go badly.
Is Penis Enlargement Surgery Worth It?
Penis enlargement surgery is a risky procedure, even from a trusted clinic. There is a high risk of infection and other complications, which make it impossible to recommend to any man who needs a confidence boost.
However, this doesn’t mean you’re out of options if you’re looking for said boost. There is a way to improve the size of your penis without putting your health at risk, and you’ll be much happier with the results.
Penis Fillers and How They Work
Penis fillers are injections of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) that are designed to improve the girth (thickness) of the penis. HA is a chemical that your body naturally produces, so you won’t be introducing any alien substances.
Unlike surgeries and penile implants, penis fillers do not increase the flaccid length of the penis, at least not to a noticeable extent. Instead, they make the penis look and feel thicker when flaccid. This makes it look bigger overall, which is better than the minor increase in flaccid length that surgery promises.
Are Penis Fillers Safe?
Penis filler injections are a safe procedure, especially when compared to the higher risk chance of surgery. But like any treatment, there are some things you need to be aware of.
Firstly, there is still a risk of infection. A small number of clients may experience an infection even if they follow our aftercare program to the letter. But we do everything possible to minimise this, including issuing a course of antibiotics to each client.
There are also some clinics who use penis fillers that aren’t as safe. These fillers aren’t regulated, or tested to the same level as the approved fillers we use. Clinics may also use cheap, imported fillers, but disguise them as a more trusted brand. That’s why we created a blog about spotting counterfeit fillers recently, so you can explore your options with peace of mind.
There’s also the person conducting the treatment to consider. Even with the best fillers available, an inexperienced doctor can make mistakes or miss something. If the prices on offer are too good to be true, the fillers are either not what they seem, or the doctor may not be experienced, which is more common when having treatment abroad.
If you aren’t 100% satisfied with the results of your fillers, the procedure is completely reversible. We can inject an enzyme solution that breaks down the filler, returning your penis to how it was before.
Why Aftercare is So Important
We’ve all heard some horror stories about ‘penis enlargement gone wrong’, and the media certainly loves to blow them out of proportion. As a result, there is a lot of negative stigma around penis enlargement treatments. While we will readily admit that surgery is not the way forward, we prefer to stick to the facts, and it often isn’t the procedure itself that caused harm to the individual.
If you dig a little deeper, you’ll quickly learn that most infections and complications are the result of poor aftercare. Clinics may conduct the procedure safely, but don’t put the correct measures in place that prevent issues later on.
Poor aftercare is often the main cause of infection. We always provide each client with a course of antibiotics that reduce the risk of infection, but that’s just the beginning.
Before, during, and after treatment, we explain in detail the aftercare procedure. Some of which is done by us, the rest by you.
You’ll be given a booklet of aftercare information. It contains guidance instructions that you must follow to see the best results and reduce the risk of issues. This information includes:
- How to mould the filler (if applicable)
- When you can resume intercourse
- What to wear to prevent discomfort and ensure the filler isn’t negatively affected
- How to spot if something isn’t quite right
- How to contact us if you have any questions or concerns
We will also contact you the day after your procedure to check in and see how you’re feeling. But since we put a lot of emphasis on discretion, this will be the last time you hear from us directly, and it’ll be your decision if you want further correspondence.
