Penis fillers are popular among men seeking non-surgical enhancement. While results can be impressive, poor technique or inexperience can cause issues. Here are common problems we correct and the best methods for fixing them.

Understanding Penis Filler Complications 

As girth enhancement procedures become more common, so do penis filler side effects caused by poor technique or inexperience. These complications often appear months later and can lead to visible irregularities or discomfort. At Lushful Aesthetics, we specialize in penile girth augmentation and advanced revision treatments designed to correct these issues safely and artistically. Below are the most common problems we see, and how they’re fixed. 

Hourglass Deformity

An hourglass deformity happens when filler is placed above the circumcision line and meets a band of scar tissue, or when filler is poorly injected on top of the shaft. This creates a visible “hourglass” effect that makes the penis look pinched in the middle. 

Correcting this issue requires strategically dissolving excess filler above the band and then carefully refilling with finesse to straighten and smooth the shaft. A precise balance of depth and placement is key to restoring a natural contour and uniform girth. 

Filler in the Foreskin

Filler should never be injected into the foreskin. Once filler enters this area, it can interfere with the natural function of the foreskin and even attract more filler to migrate into the tissue due to gravity and filler’s natural affinity for itself. This can lead to puffiness, asymmetry, or difficulty retracting the foreskin. 

Treatment requires a partial dissolution to restore proper function and prevent further complications. For uncircumcised patients, filler placement must remain below the foreskin margin to maintain both appearance and mobility. 

Filler on Top of the Penis

One of the most common mistakes seen in penis enlargement injections is filler placed directly on top (the dorsal surface) of the penis. Not only does this cover nerve tissue and risk dulling sensation, but it also makes penetration more difficult for both vaginal and anal intercourse. Aesthetically, it gives the penis a slug-like appearance.

Proper penis filler technique is to target the lateral sides of the shaft for a balanced, natural look and feel. Revision involves dissolving the dorsal filler and recontouring along the sides. 

Filler Above the Circumcision Line

Placing filler above the circumcision line can sometimes be acceptable in patients with very low scars, but in most cases, it leads to swelling, shape irregularities, and a harsh transition between the head and shaft. If filler is needed in this area, it should be done conservatively, using a softer filler to create a smooth transition zone. Injectors should proceed with caution to avoid overfilling or distortion.

Correcting this issue requires conservative dissolving and expert reapplication to restore symmetry while maintaining a smooth taper between the glans and the shaft. 

Is Girth Enhancement Safe?
