Penile Enlargement: The Anatomy That Makes It Possible.
Introduction
Penile girth enlargement using injectable fillers like Hyaluronic Acid or Bellafill involves placing the fille into the potential space between the superficial dartos fascia and Buck’s fascia. This is a procedure requires detailed anatomical knowledge to avoid damaging critical structures in the penis. When injecting filler, the goal is to deposit it into the space between the superficial dartos fascia and Buck’s fascia. This area is a “potential space.” A potential space is an area between two adjacent structures or tissues that is normally pressed together but can be separated to create a space. Potential spaces are not actual voids within the body but rather areas where tissues can be carefully separated without causing harm, providing a safe zone for treatments like injections. In the penis a potential space exists between the superficial dartos fascia and Buck’s fascia this allows for safe penile girth enhancement.
Anatomy 101
Superficial Dartos Fascia
The superficial dartos fascia is a layer of connective tissue found just under the skin but above deeper structures. Connective tissue is tissue in the body that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. The dartos fascia is part of the superficial layer that along with the skin encases the penis and scrotum.
Buck’s Fascia
Buck’s fascia is a deeper, dense layer of fibrous connective tissue. It is more robust than the superficial dartos fascia and serves as a protective layer around the penile shaft’s erectile bodies, which include the two corpus cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum. The corpus cavernosa are responsible for erectile function, and the corpus spongiosum surrounds the urethra and extends to form the glans and also contributes to erectile function.
When performing an injection for penile enlargement, the filler is injected into the space between these two layers. This “potential space” can be expanded by the injection without disrupting the function of the enclosed structures. The procedure is designed to increase penile girth without impeding erectile function or sensation.
The potential space between the Dartos and Buck’s fascia is key to penile girth enhancement for several reasons:
1. Safe Zone for Filler Placement: The space between these layers is not a true cavity but rather an area where the tissues can be separated. Because it is a potential space, it can be expanded with filler material. This creates a compartment that can accommodate the injectable filler without disrupting adjacent anatomical structures.
2. Containment of Filler: The properties of the fascial layers help to contain the filler within this potential space. The superficial Dartos fascia is flexible enough to expand with the introduction of the filler, while the deeper Buck’s fascia is more rigid and acts as a barrier that prevents the filler from migrating to other areas of the penis where it could cause complications.
3. Protection of Erectile Structures: Buck’s fascia encases the corpus cavernosum and the corpus spongiosum, the critical structures involved in erectile function and urethral protection. By injecting filler into the space above Buck’s fascia, these structures remain untouched and functional. The filler enhances girth without affecting the ability to achieve or maintain an erection or altering sensation.
4. Uniform Enhancement: Because the potential space surrounds the shaft of the penis, the filler can be distributed evenly around the circumference, allowing for a uniform increase in girth.
5. Aesthetic Outcomes: The goal of the procedure is not just to increase girth but to do so in a way that looks and feels natural. The potential space allows for the filler to be placed in a way that maintains the natural appearance and feel of the penile tissue.
The use of this potential space is a strategic approach that leverages the body’s natural anatomical divisions to facilitate cosmetic enhancement while preserving the functional integrity of the penis. The procedure requires a thorough understanding of penile anatomy and meticulous technique to achieve the desired outcomes safely.
Given these considerations, the precise placement of filler in the potential space between the superficial dartos fascia and Buck’s fascia is crucial. It ensures the enhancement is achieved without compromising the essential functions and structures protected by Buck’s fascia, maintaining both aesthetic outcomes and physiological health. The penis’ compartmentalized structure makes penile enlargement possible, but it is critical to be treated by an experienced injector like, Dr. Sullivan.
