Silicone Implant vs Fat Transfer vs Dermal Fillers for Penis Girth Enlargement: What’s Best?
Studies estimate that almost half of men would like a bigger penis. Most guys who are really interested in a bigger penis start with an internet search. While they quickly discover that it is essentially impossible to make your penis significantly longer
In fact, there are several ways to increase the girth or thickness of your penis. Three of the most common options for expanding the girth of the penis are silicone implants, fat transfer, and dermal fillers.
So how do you choose?
Well, not all options are created equal. Read on for the science-backed benefits and drawbacks of each option. By the end of our article, you’ll see why dermal fillers are widely considered the safest and most effective choice for penile girth enhancement.
Silicone Implants for Penile Girth Enhancement
A silicone implant is a surgical procedure in which a pre-formed semi-rigid silicone implant is surgically inserted under the skin of the penis. The surgery will increase the flaccid and erect girth of the penis and can sometimes increase the flaccid length of the penis, but it will not increase the erect length. It’s a fairly invasive procedure that requires general anesthesia. Unfortunately, patients face multiple drawbacks with this procedure. There are risks of surgery, including infection, scarring, and the need for general anesthesia. Also, there is a risk that you or your partner may not be happy with the aesthetics of the implant. In either case, up to 10% of men will eventually have their silicone implant removed, and this can have disastrous consequences.
Even if everything goes well, the surgery takes some time to fully heal, with downtime of weeks to months.
Complications of Silicone Implants
The silicone implants themselves are generally safe, but they can occasionally have significant side effects. Reported side effects include:
- Infection: Because this is a surgical procedure with an implant, infection can occur.
- Erosion: The implant can rub against the skin from the inside and create an opening through the skin where the implant is exposed.
- Displacement: The implant can move from its correct position so that it looks and feels abnormal.
- ScarTissue/ Fibrosis: Can form around the implant, interfering with the appearance and function of the implant.
- Dehiscence or seroma formation: Dehiscence is where the surgical scar opens and requires resuturing or removal of the implant. A seroma is where a fluid collects around the implant.
Unfortunately, when these issues occur, they can require removal of the implant. Implant removal can result in a significant permanent shortening of the length of the penis. Scar tissue can form around the implant, making the penis look or feel strange or hard.
Unhappiness with the Appearance and Feel of the Silicone Implant
While many men and their partners say they enjoy sex more after penis enlargement, changing the structure of the penis can have unexpected effects.
- Semi-Rigid Design: Remember that the implant is semi-rigid, so that means after the implant, the penis will remain semi-rigid at all times. While most men appreciate a larger “bulge” after a penile girth enlargement, it can be uncomfortable in many situations to be semi-rigid.
- Device Visibility/Flaring: The edges of the implant can be seen or felt at the base of the penis or near the head. Some patients have described this as a “bat-wing” look. Obviously, the appearance is unsightly, but the edges can be uncomfortable to a partner.
- Asymmetry: Even though the device is sutured in place, the original placement can result in an asymmetrical or uneven appearance.
Silicone penile implants for girth enhancement may seem like a good way to improve one’s appearance, but the many risks and possible negative outcomes of this procedure cannot be ignored. Anyone thinking about this surgery should talk to doctors in depth, learn about all the risks and possible outcomes, and think about how it will affect their physical and mental health in the long term.
Fat Transfer for Penile Girth Enhancement
A fat transfer is also called autologous fat grafting. It’s a surgery that takes fat from one part of the body, generally via liposuction, and puts it into the penis to make it bigger. Ideally, this method would give results that look and feel natural. The appeal is that, in theory, it should be permanent and is composed only of your own tissue.
Unfortunately, the results of this treatment are not ideal. First, the fat transfer has to “take” or survive in its new location in the peniswhich it does not always do completely or evenly. This can result in an uneven appearance.
Additionally, the appearance and feel of the fat transfer is not an ideal match for the penis. The results are often described as lumpy or too soft.
Finally, like with implants, fat transfer requires surgery. That comes with its own risks, including infection, scarring, and anesthesia. Surgery can have significant downtime. Also consider that any revisions would require additional surgery. Overall, fat grafting results are inconsistent and not very natural in comparison to other techniques.
Dermal Fillers for Penile Girth Enhancement
Dermal fillers are the newest, safest, and most natural-looking way to make your penis thicker. They work by putting the filler under the skin and fascia of the penis, which increases the girth of the penis. Fillers give you an instant increase in girth that lasts. The results can last for at least 2 years for hyaluronic acid fillers and are permanent for PMMA-type fillers, like Bellafill.
Dermal fillers create a look and feel that is like real tissue, so you will feel comfortable and natural after the procedure. Dermal fillers were specifically designed and created to mimic your natural tissue. Unlike implants or fat transfer, the results are instant with no prolonged downtime. Normal activities can be resumed the day of the procedure, and you can have intercourse in 1-2 weeks. At GetMoreGirt, we think of fillers as the goldilocks of enhancement options, not too firm or hard like implants, and not too soft like fat.
The quick and clear effects of dermal fillers can help you feel more confident and sexually triumphant.
In terms of safety, the fillers used by GetMoreGirth are FDA-approved (though used off-label). This is a higher standard than implants, which have been cleared but not approved. This means there are clinical trials with safety and efficacy data for every filler utilized. Overall, studies show that dermal fillers are very safe. They rarely cause serious side effects, and any minor problems resolve quickly and are easily treated. One of the biggest benefits for our clients is that dermal fillers for penile girth enhancement are non-invasive. There is no surgery, as with silicone implants or fat transfers. This means you won’t need anesthesia, there won’t be any surgical problems, and you won’t have to take time off to recover.
While silicone implants and fat transfers do provide a solution for penis girth enhancement, they come with several risks and potential complications. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are not only safer but also provide an immediate and long-lasting effect. They provide a natural feel, require no recovery time, and significantly boost self-esteem and confidence. As always, it’s crucial to consult a medical professional, such as Dr. Sullivan, to fully understand these procedures and make an informed decision.
