Glans filler

Usually not. Shaft filler adds girth in proportion, and most men find the head looks right afterwards without any treatment of its own. That is why we suggest doing the shaft first and deciding about the glans once you can see the result, which you and the doctor can do at the same visit.

The men who go ahead mostly want a fuller, rounder head, or feel the proportions are off after shaft filler. If you would rather have the glans done on its own, the doctor will do it after going through what to expect; the main thing to weigh is that it does not last as long.

It uses the same hyaluronic acid filler as the shaft, which is FDA-approved for cosmetic use in the face and used off-label here. The glans is denser than the shaft, so the filler is placed with a fine needle rather than a cannula, after the area has been numbed with a local anesthetic block. The head is more sensitive than the shaft and you may be more aware of it, but the numbing makes it very manageable. It takes 15 to 20 minutes, and afterwards the usual aftercare applies: one week without sex, and a follow-up visit.

Three to six months, compared with about two years in the shaft. The head has a rich blood supply and moves more, so the body absorbs the filler faster there. Like any hyaluronic acid filler, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you do not like the result.

Glans filler is priced by volume, like the shaft, and usually takes 4 ml or more. The least you pay is the Large package, $3,990 for 6 ml, which includes the consultation and the follow-up. If the glans needs less than that, the rest stays on your file as credit toward a later visit; the credit does not expire, but it is not refundable or transferable. All packages · Financing

Glans filler shares the shaft procedure's risks: swelling, soreness, some unevenness, a small lump. One matters more here. The head of the penis has a dense, delicate blood supply, and filler placed into or against a vessel can block it. That is rare and it is an emergency, which is why the doctor watches for it and knows how to treat it. Call your clinic straight away if pain gets worse instead of better, if the skin looks white or dusky, or if the head goes numb.
