Lots of men are keen to develop a larger penis, both in terms of length and girth (thickness). And many men seek a penile thickening procedure to achieve this. The technique can be performed using either hyaluronic acid or existing body fat, and can increase the organ’s circumference by between 1 and 2 cm. The shaft of the penis can be injected with hyaluronic acid gel. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic and takes about 20 to 40 minutes. The hyaluronic acid is introduced using specially rounded micro-cannulas to prevent injury to tissue and blood vessels. Then the hyaluronic gel is distributed around the subcutaneous tissue until the desired shape is achieved. It is also possible to inject the penis with autologous fat. The first step here is to take fat tissue from another area of the body – for example, from the stomach or the inside of the thigh. This is then cleaned, processed and homogenised before being injected into the shaft of the penis. Next, the body fat is carefully distributed so that there will be a consistent result after healing has taken place. Once an injection with autologous fat has been performed, it takes about five weeks for the tissue to fully grow in its new position.
