Penile enhancement with biocompatible fillers is a minimally invasive procedure designed to increase penile girth and improve confidence. A common concern among potential patients is: Can the procedure affect sexual sensation or cause erectile dysfunction (ED)? Most patients experience no change in sensation, about a third report increased sensation, and no one has reported decreased sensation. The treatment has no impact on erectile function, positive or negative. This guide will provide a comprehensive understanding of these aspects.

 How the Procedure Works

Penile enhancement with biocompatible fillers involves injecting substances such as hyaluronic acid (HA) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) into the penile shaft to increase its girth. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed on an outpatient

 Impact on Sexual Sensation

The majority of patients report no negative change in sexual sensation following penile enhancement with biocompatible fillers. The fillers are placed in the subcutaneous layer of the penis, which is above the structures responsible for erectile function and sensation. This placement ensures that the nerves responsible for sensation remain unaffected.

– Anatomical Safety: The injection sites are carefully chosen to avoid nerves and blood vessels that are crucial for sensation.

– Biocompatible Fillers: Fillers such as Juvéderm Voluma and Bellafill integrate smoothly with the body’s tissues, maintaining natural penile function.

Increased Sensation for Some Patients

About one-third of patients report an increase in sexual sensation following the procedure. This increased sensation is primarily due to the increased friction resulting from the enhanced girth. The additional girth provides more contact and stimulation during sexual activity, which can enhance pleasure for both the patient and their partner.

Mechanism of Increased Sensation:

– Increased Friction: The added girth results in more friction during intercourse, which can heighten sensations and enhance pleasure.

– Enhanced Stimulation: The increased penile circumference can lead to greater stimulation of the penile nerves and the partner’s vaginal or anal walls.

Impact on Erectile Function

No Negative Impact on Erectile Function

Penile enhancement with biocompatible fillers does not negatively impact erectile function. The procedure involves injecting fillers into the subcutaneous tissue, which does not interfere with the erectile structures such as the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum. These structures are essential for achieving and maintaining erections.

Key Points:

– Safe Placement: The fillers are injected away from the blood vessels and nerves that control erections.

Improved Confidence and Performance

While the procedure itself does not directly enhance erectile function, the increased confidence that many men experience can positively affect sexual performance. Feeling more confident about the appearance of their penis can reduce performance anxiety and lead to more satisfying sexual experiences.

Positive Effects:

– Increased Confidence: Enhanced girth can boost self-esteem, leading to greater sexual confidence.

– Reduced Anxiety: Improved body image can reduce anxiety during sexual activity, potentially improving performance.

How Does  the Procedure Affect Sexual Sensation and Erectile Function

Anatomical Considerations

Understanding the anatomy of the penis is crucial for recognizing why penile enhancement with biocompatible fillers does not negatively affect sexual sensation or erectile function.

Key Structures:

– Corpus Cavernosum: Two cylindrical structures that fill with blood to produce an erection.

– Corpus Spongiosum: The structure surrounding the urethra that also engorges with blood during an erection.

– Nerves and Blood Vessels: These run along the penis and are responsible for sensation and erectile function.

Injection Placement:

– Subcutaneous Layer: Fillers are injected into the subcutaneous layer, which is above the erectile structures and nerves. This placement avoids any interference with the natural function of the penis.

Types of Fillers Used

The choice of fillers is another important factor. At GetMoreGirth, we use Juvéderm Voluma and Bellafill, both known for their safety and efficacy.

Juvéderm Voluma:

– Composition: Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body.

– Longevity: Lasts up to 24 months.

– Reversibility: Can be dissolved if necessary using hyaluronidase.

Bellafill:

– Composition: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres in a collagen gel.

– Longevity: Results can last at least five years and are often considered permanent.

– Collagen Stimulation: Promotes natural collagen production, leading to lasting results.

 Temporary Side Effects

While long-term effects on sexual sensation and erectile function are minimal, there may be some temporary side effects immediately following the procedure.

Swelling and Bruising

Mild swelling and bruising are common after dermal filler injections and can temporarily affect the appearance and feel of the penis.

Numbness or Tingling

The use of anesthesia and the injection process can cause temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area.

 Psychological and Emotional Benefits

Boost in Confidence

One of the most significant benefits of penile enhancement is the boost in confidence that many men experience.

Positive Effects:

– Self-Esteem: Improved self-image and confidence in intimate situations.

– Relationship Satisfaction: Enhanced sexual satisfaction for both the patient and their partner.

Enhanced Sexual Experience

Increased penile girth can enhance the sexual experience for both partners, contributing to greater satisfaction and intimacy.

Positive Effects:

– Increased Pleasure: Enhanced girth can lead to greater stimulation and pleasure during sexual activity.

– Improved Relationships: Enhanced sexual satisfaction can positively impact overall relationship dynamics.

 Managing Expectations

Realistic Goals

It’s important to have realistic expectations about what penile enhancement can achieve. While the procedure can significantly improve girth and confidence, it does not increase length or change the fundamental structure of the penis.

Key Points:

– Girth Enhancement: The primary benefit is an increase in girth.

– No Length Increase: The procedure does not affect penile length.

Can the Procedure Affect Sexual Sensation? or Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

No Decrease in Sensation:

– Most Patients: Report no change in sexual sensation.

– Increased Sensation: About one-third of patients experience enhanced sensation due to increased friction.

No Impact on Erectile Function:

– Normal Erections: The procedure does not affect the structures responsible for erections.

– Increased Confidence: Many patients report improved sexual confidence and satisfaction.

Can the Procedure Affect Sexual Sensation? or Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Penile enhancement with biocompatible fillers is a safe and effective procedure that can significantly improve penile girth and boost confidence without negatively affecting sexual sensation or erectile function. Most patients experience no change in sensation, while about one-third report increased sensation due to the additional friction from the enhanced girth. The procedure does not interfere with the structures responsible for erectile function, ensuring that normal erectile function is maintained. By choosing a qualified provider and following proper aftercare, patients can achieve satisfying and lasting results. Always consult with Dr. Sullivan at GetMoreGirth to ensure the best possible outcome and maintain penile health for years to come.
