Understanding Penile Enhancement for Peyronie’s Disease
More and more men are having penile enhancement with dermal fillers. It is a safe, nonsurgical way to increase the size and girth of the penis. It can be a huge confidence booster, and because every man is different, there are special medical circumstances where men may have questions or concerns about the enhancement procedure.
At GetMoreGirth, we are frequently contacted by men with Peyronie’s disease, a curvature of the penis. Men with Peyronie’s generally have three main questions. They want to know 1) if the procedure will be effective for them, 2) if it is safe for men with Peyronie’s, and 3) if it can improve their Peyronie’s and make their penis look better. At GetMoreGirth, we are also frequently contacted by men who have penile implants for erectile dysfunction. These men have similar questions. They want to know 1) if the procedure will be effective for them and 2) if it will affect the function of the implant.
The answer to these questions is, “yes!” Penile girth enhancement (PGE) with dermal fillers can be safe and effective in both men with Peyronie’s and those with penile implants. In Peyronies, it makes the penis look better by reducing the appearance of the curvature of the penis. However, PGE does not treat Peyronie’s or the underlying fibrosis. Men who have Peyronie’s disease should see a Urologist to get a full evaluation and learn about the treatments that are available for the disease. In men with implants, PGE can safely restore volume loss that can sometimes occur after the implant procedure.
This guide will explain how dermal fillers work in men with Peyronie’s Disease and in those with penile implants. We will go over the procedure’s advantages and disadvantages in men with both situations.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is a condition where fibrous scar tissue, or plaques, form inside the penis. This causes the penis to curve or bend when it is erect. It can even be painful in some men and can hurt when they get an erection. Peyronie’s disease and the resulting curvature can also make the penis appear shorter, and the penis can appear bent or misshapen.
Causes and Signs of Peyronie’s Disease
We don’t know what causes Peyronie’s disease in all men. We do know that it is more common in men over 40, that it can run in families, and that it is more common in men with other conditions like diabetes. In some cases, Peyronie’s may result from trauma. Common symptoms include painful erections, curved erections, and lumps or plaques that can be felt under the skin. The penis can also shorten and become dented.
How Penile Enhancement with Dermal Fillers Can Help in Peyronie’s Disease
Penile Enhancement with dermal fillers will not treat the underlying Peyronie’s disease, but it can improve the appearance of the penis. Fillers can make the appearance of the curvature of the penis less noticeable by adding volume to areas that need it and smoothing out bumps and dips. Fillers can make the penis look more symmetrical by adding volume to areas that are uneven. The additional girth can make the penis look better overall, which can make you feel more confident.
Limitations of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers do not treat the underlying Peyronie’s disease. Dermal fillers can make the penis look better, but they don’t fix the real problem, which is the scarring and fibrosis of Peyronie’s disease. The effects of dermal fillers don’t last forever. Depending on the type of filler used, the effects can last from 12 months to a few years. You might need regular maintenance treatments to maintain the benefits.
Getting Help and Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease
Why You Should See a Urologist
Men with Peyronie’s disease should see a Urologist for a full evaluation to determine the severity of their Peyronie’s and learn that treatments are available. Dermal fillers can make the penis look better, but it’s important to treat the problem that caused it in the first place for long-term health and function.
About Peyronie’s Disease Treatments
- Drugs: There are medications (oral and injectable) that can make the plaque smaller and less painful.
- Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: This is a non-surgical treatment that uses shockwaves to break up scar tissue and improve blood flow.
- Surgery: In more severe cases, surgical options like plaque incision and grafting or penile implants may be considered.
- Traction Devices: Tools that slowly and gently pull on the penis to make it longer and straighter.
A Full Approach: Using Dermal Fillers with Other Treatments
Often, though, the Peyronies may not be severe enough to require any of these treatments, and the treatments may not fully correct the Peyronies. In these situations, men with Peyronie’s disease can make their penis look better by using dermal fillers.
Advantages of a Combined Approach
- Better Looks: Dermal fillers can make the penis look better.
- Functional Improvement: Medical treatments address the underlying disease causing Peyronie’s.
Psychological and Emotional Benefits
More Self-Assurance
Using dermal fillers to make the penis look more symmetrical can help you feel better about yourself and your body. Men who feel better about how they look are also likely to feel better mentally and emotionally. HavingWhile dermal fillers do not treat the underlying causes of Peyronie’s disease or penile injuries, they can significantly improve the appearance of the penis. Fillers work by adding volume to the affected areas, smoothing out indentations and irregularities, and creating a more uniform appearance.
Can Penile Enhancement Help Men Who Have Peyronie’s Disease?
If you have Peyronie’s disease or another injury that has left indentations in your penile tissue, you can get penile enhancement with dermal fillers. Penile girth enhancement does not treat the underlying Peyronie’s, but it can make the penis look smoother and more symmetrical. Men with Peyronie’s disease should first see a urologist to discuss their treatment options. When used with other treatments, dermal fillers can make the penis look better and make you more confident in yourself.
Penile Enhancement in Men with Penile Implants
A penile implant is a life-changing fix for many men with ED that lets them have sex again. But after the implant, men may seek out penile girth enhancement (PGE) for two reasons. The first is that after an implant, men are sexually active again, and they thus become interested in increasing their girth. Secondly, some men report decreased volume after the implant, so they may not be seeking PGE to get bigger but simply to get back to normal.
This is where girth enhancement comes into play. It can work well with the penile implant to connect form and function. When done correctly, adding Volux (HA / hyaluronic acid type filler), Voluma (HA / hyaluronic acid type filler), or Bellafill (PMMA filler) to your implant makes the penis work perfectly. Penile implants for ED are inserted into the corpora cavernosa, which are not affected by the girth enhancement process. The procedure works just as well and is just as safe for men with implants as for those without.
How Safe And Effective is Penile Girth Enhancement In Men With Implants?
When considering an enhancement, the most important consideration is safety. At GetMoreGirth, Dr. Sullivan makes sure that the filler is placed correctly so that it doesn’t impact the function of the implant. This correct injection technique keeps the implant safe while making the penis thicker, so you get the best of both worlds without having to give up anything. Fillers are a safe and effective way to add thickness with no risk to the implant. The result is a natural feel that complements the function of the penile implant.
Safe Girth Enhancement in Men With Penile Implants
The corpora cavernosa are the structures in the penis that cause an erection. When the corpora cavernosa are not working, erectile dysfunction (ED) occurs. When ED is treated with a penile implant, the implant is inserted into the penis in place of the corpora cavernosa. For both natural erections and those that are helped by a penile implant, this space or area in the penis is important and should be avoided during a PGE.
During a PGE, Dr. Sullivan carefully places the filler in a space above this sensitive area. In this sense, performing an enhancement in a patient with an implant is essentially no different than performing a procedure in someone without an implant. The filler is expertly placed in a safe space in the penis without affecting the complex workings of either the corpora cavernosa or the implant. GetMoreGirth is proud to offer girth enhancement without interfering with the function of the implant. At GetMoreGirth, we want to enhance the appearance of the penis without affecting the function of the implant. We want to balance form and function and to make sure that in your search for a bigger penis, you don’t affect how well it functions.
