Penile enhancement with dermal fillers is a minimally invasive procedure designed to increase penile girth, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and sexual confidence. Understanding the recovery process is crucial for anyone considering this treatment. This comprehensive guide will provide detailed information on what to expect during the recovery process, including immediate aftercare, managing discomfort, potential side effects, and long-term care.

Immediate Aftercare

1. Post-Procedure

Immediately after the procedure, patients resume their normal activities and will be able to resume sexual activity after 1 week.

– Instructions: You will receive detailed aftercare instructions from Dr. Sullivan. It is important to follow these instructions closely to ensure a smooth recovery.

2. Discomfort

While the procedure is minimally invasive, some discomfort is normal in the first few days after treatment.

– Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage any post-procedure pain. Avoid aspirin or other blood-thinning medications unless prescribed by your doctor.

– Compression: You will be wearing a compression dressing for 1 week to reduce pain and swelling

– Rest: Resting and avoiding strenuous activities for the first 24-48 hours can aid in recovery and minimize discomfort.

3. Swelling and Bruising

Mild swelling and bruising are common side effects of dermal filler injections. These symptoms are usually temporary and should subside within a few days to a week.

– Compression: You will be wearing a compression dressing for 1 week to reduce pain and swelling

– Avoid Heat: Refrain from using hot tubs, saunas, or hot baths for the first week, as heat can exacerbate swelling.

– Gentle Handling: Avoid any pressure or trauma to the treated area to prevent further bruising.

 Activity Restrictions

1. Physical Activity

– Light Activity: Gentle walking and daily activities are typically fine immediately after the procedure.

– Strenuous Exercise: Avoid heavy lifting, running, or vigorous exercise for at least 48-72 hours or as advised by your provider.

– Sexual Activity: Refrain from sexual activity for at least a week or as recommended by your doctor to ensure proper healing.

2. Work and Social Activities

Most patients can return to work and social activities the day after the procedure, provided their job does not involve strenuous physical activity.

– Office Jobs: If you have a desk job, you can typically return to work the next day.

– Physical Jobs: If your job involves physical labor, consult with your provider about when it’s safe to return.

Monitoring for Complications

While complications are rare, it’s important to monitor for any signs of infection or adverse reactions and contact your provider immediately if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Signs to Watch For:

– Severe Pain: Persistent or severe pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain relievers.

– Infection: Signs of infection include increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge from the injection sites.

– Allergic Reactions: Symptoms such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing may indicate an allergic reaction and require immediate medical attention.

Follow-Up Appointments

1. Scheduled Check-Ups

Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring your progress and ensuring the best possible outcome from the procedure. Dr. Sullivan will schedule follow-up visits to check the treated area and address any concerns.

– Initial Follow-Up: Typically scheduled 4-12  weeks after the procedure to assess initial results and healing.

 It is normal to have some lumpiness or uneven ness for 2-3 weeks post -procedure. In most patients this will be completely resolved in 4 weeks. The follow up visit is to adjust the results if need.

 Long-Term Care and Maintenance

1. Results Longevity

The longevity of the results depends on the type of filler used. Juvéderm Voluma typically lasts over two years, while Bellafill can provide results lasting at least five years, and in many cases, these results are considered permanent.

– Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the longevity of the results and discuss any potential touch-up treatments.

– Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can support the longevity of the filler.

2. Touch-Up Treatments

Depending on the filler and individual factors, touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired girth.

– Voluma: Maintenance treatments may be needed every 18-24 months to sustain results.

– Bellafill: Touch-ups are less frequent due to the long-lasting nature of the filler, but periodic evaluations are still important.
