Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most common filler used for penile girth enhancement. Commonly though patients and physician do not make any distinction between the HA fillers. Patents often believe there is little difference between the HA fillers. In fact, they are very different.  Choosing the right HA filler can mean the difference between a natural looking enhancement and an unnatural one. Also choosing the right HA filler can almost double the time the time you need between touch ups. As you would expect the longer lasting better HA fillers are a little more expensive. That is why when you are thinking about where to go for your treatment it is important to know exactly what filler is being used. The least expensive provider may be more expensive in the long run if they are using a short-lived filler. Below we will look at the duration of various, commonly used HA fillers, including Voluma, Volux, Juvéderm, Restylane, and Versa.  

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body and is one of the main components of the dermis in the skin as well as other connective tissues. Allergies to HA fillers are considered extremely uncommon.  Hyaluronic acid fillers are considered the safest filler type partially because of their reversibility. Currently there are 22 HA fillers available on the US market and of these 8 of them are used for penile enhancement.

The main factor determining which fillers are used for enhancement is the G Prime of firmness of the filler. G prime measures fillers elasticity, firmness and ability to maintain shape. A higher G’ value suggests a firmer filler better at structural support and lifting capacity. Let’s go through fillers currently being used for penile enhancement.
