Glans Penis Augmentation

What is Glans Penis Augmentation?

Glans penis augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed to add volume to the glans (penis head), reduce sensitivity, and enhance sexual performance. It is usually carried out using hyaluronic acid–based filler materials. This procedure can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits and is typically performed in a minimally invasive manner without requiring surgical intervention.

Who is it Suitable For?

Glans penis augmentation is suitable for individuals with specific needs and expectations. It may be considered in the following cases:

1. Those in Need of Aesthetic Improvement

• Individuals who feel that the glans is small in volume.
• Those experiencing aesthetic irregularities or symmetry issues with the glans.

2. Those with Premature Ejaculation Issues

• Men who experience premature ejaculation due to high sensitivity in the glans.
• Those who wish to reduce sensitivity to improve ejaculation control.

3. Those Experiencing Sexual Confidence Issues

• Individuals who suffer from a loss of confidence due to the appearance of the glans.
• Those who want to enhance their sexual performance and enjoy a better sexual experience with their partner.

Application Process and Duration

Glans penis augmentation is a medical aesthetic procedure performed for both cosmetic and functional purposes. This procedure typically involves the injection of hyaluronic acid or similar biocompatible filler materials into the glans. The application process generally follows these steps:

Application Process

1. Examination and Consultation:
   • A doctor examines the patient before the procedure. At this stage, the purpose, expectations, and potential risks are discussed.
   • The patient’s medical history is evaluated, and suitability for the filler is assessed.
2. Preparation:
   • The area is numbed with a local anesthetic cream or injection prior to the procedure, making the process more comfortable.
   • Hygienic conditions are ensured and the treatment area is sterilized.
3. Filler Application:
   • The filler is injected into the designated area using a fine needle or cannula.
   • The filler is usually hyaluronic acid–based, which is biocompatible and temporary.
   • During the procedure, even distribution of the filler is ensured to achieve the desired volume.
4. Final Check:
   • After the procedure is completed, the results are reviewed.
   • Post-procedure care recommendations are provided to the patient.

Duration of the Procedure

• The procedure generally lasts 20–30 minutes.
• It may take 1–2 days for the local anesthetic to wear off and for complete recovery.
• Daily activities can usually be resumed immediately after the procedure, although there may be side effects such as sensitivity or slight swelling.

Durability of the Results

• Depending on the filler material used, results typically last between 12–18 months.
• To maintain durability, the procedure can be repeated at regular intervals.

Possible Side Effects and Risks

Medical aesthetic procedures like glans penis augmentation are generally considered safe, but as with any procedure, there can be some side effects and risks. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but there is also a possibility of serious complications. Here are the potential side effects and risks:

Mild Side Effects (Usually Temporary)

1. Swelling and Bruising:
   • There may be mild swelling or bruising in the injection area that lasts for a few days.
2. Sensitivity:
   • Temporary sensitivity or mild pain may occur in the treated area.
3. Redness:
   • Short-term redness may be observed in the treatment area.
4. Firmness at the Injection Site:
   • A temporary firmness may be felt at the injection site.

Moderate Risks

1. Asymmetry:
   • Uneven distribution of the filler may result in aesthetic asymmetry, which is usually correctable.
2. Migration of the Filler:
   • The filler may migrate to undesired areas due to gravity or pressure.
3. Loss or Increase in Sensitivity:
   • There may be temporary or, rarely, permanent changes in sensitivity due to nerve involvement in the area.

Serious Risks (Rare)

1. Infection:
   • If hygienic conditions are not maintained, an infection may occur, requiring antibiotic treatment.
2. Allergic Reaction:
   • An allergic reaction to the filler material may occur, necessitating prompt intervention.
3. Vascular Occlusion:
   • If the filler is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel, it may block blood flow and lead to serious complications. This is rare but requires careful application.
4. Granuloma or Nodule Formation:
   • The body may react to the filler by forming firm masses (granulomas).

Recommendations to Reduce Side Effects

• Specialist Physicians: The procedure should be performed by an experienced specialist in a sterile environment.
• Post-Procedure Care: It is important to follow the post-procedure care instructions provided by your doctor.

In Case of Any Concerns, Contact Your Doctor Immediately: If swelling, pain, or signs of infection do not subside, you should consult your doctor.

Factors Affecting Durability

• Metabolic Rate: In individuals with a fast metabolism, the filler may dissolve more quickly.
• Injection Technique: An experienced doctor using the correct injection technique can enhance the effect and durability of the filler.
• Post-Procedure Care: Avoiding pressure on the treated area and following your doctor’s recommendations can prolong the filler’s lifespan.
• Lifestyle: Smoking, intense physical activities, or stress may reduce the effectiveness of the filler.

Recommendations to Maintain the Results

• Avoid applying excessive pressure to the treated area after the procedure.
• Refrain from activities that increase blood circulation—such as taking a hot shower or engaging in heavy exercise—for the first few days.
• Avoid sexual intercourse for 10 days.
• Follow your doctor’s recommendations for follow-up and, if necessary, have the filler procedure repeated at regular intervals.
