Recently a man succumbed to a fat embolism suffered during an attempt at penile girth enhancement with a free fat transfer. He was an otherwise healthy 30-year-old man. This clinical scenario is one of the many complications of penile girth enhancement I have warned my colleagues about.
Recently at the 2017 Aesthetics Show in Las Vegas I proctored a course on “Penile Prosthetics in Aesthetics.” To date, there have been no viable options for routine penile girth enhancement that are both safe and efficacious. For this reason, we have been working with the filler HA for the last 6 years and will soon complete a large, long term study demonstrating complication free penile girth enhancement with excellent functional and cosmetic results.
I encourage my colleagues in plastic/aesthetics to wait until these trials are completed because we believe that our technique provides the first reproducible method for penile girth enhancement that is free of any significant complications.
