Men in the UK are injecting fillers into their penises, seeking to enhance their girth and symmetry. One such individual, who wishes to remain anonymous and goes by the pseudonym Jason, has already undergone the procedure, achieving a 16% increase in penis width.
A Growing Trend
Jason is not alone in his quest for a more aesthetically pleasing penis. Clinics offering penis enlargement are on the rise, with some even advertising their services on websites. These clinics often ask questions like "are you embarrassed by the size of your penis?" in an attempt to tap into the growing trend of men seeking to enhance their genitalia.
Risks and Complications
However, not all men are as fortunate as Jason. According to Dr. Javed Hussain, a doctor who performs penis fillers at his clinic in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, some men have ended up in A&E with serious complications, including a penis turning black and skin "sloughing off" after a botched procedure. Hussain emphasizes that the risks of infection, uneven filler, and damaging the vital structures and blood vessels in the penis are very real.
The Procedure
The process of getting penis fillers involves a consultation with a doctor to discuss the patient's health, reasons for wanting the procedure, and expectations about the results. On the day of the procedure, a penis is injected with hyaluronic acid three times – on the top and on either side. The filler is then massaged to give an even look, which the patient continues at home. The cost of the procedure can range from £2,000 to £3,500, depending on the clinic and the type of filler used.
Surgeons' Concerns
While some clinics are happy to offer penis fillers, surgeons are expressing concerns about the procedure. Prof. Vaibhav Modgil, an andrologist and consultant urological surgeon for the NHS in Manchester, has seen men coming into hospital after botched procedures. He warns that the risks of penis enhancement procedures are very real, and that men should be aware of the potential complications before undergoing the procedure.
A Shift in Expectations
So why are men seeking to enhance their genitalia? According to Jason, it's not about trying to be a "swaggering alpha male," but rather about keeping up with societal expectations. "It's not just women that need to keep up, men need to keep up as well," he says. "It's literally just society changing. I think the way the media portrays everything has a massive impact on everyday life now."
The Future of Penis Fillers
As the trend of penis fillers continues to grow, it's unclear what the future holds for this procedure. Will more clinics begin to offer the service, or will surgeons continue to express concerns about the risks involved? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, however: the desire for a more aesthetically pleasing penis is here to stay.
