Glans thickening, also known as glans enlargement, is a procedure in which hyaluronic acid is used to potentially enlarge and firm the glans penis. This biocompatible material is injected under local anesthesia and usually leaves no scars. The procedure is minimally invasive. The material is gradually broken down by the body over time, which can support a natural appearance. The durability varies individually.
Glans enlargement with hyaluronic acid can contribute to aesthetic improvement and increase the firmness of the glans, which some patients describe as positive for sexual sensation. Although hyaluronic acid is gradually degraded, it can influence the appearance of the glans for several years.
While the penis thickening of the shaft aims at a comprehensive increase in girth, glans thickening specifically focuses on the glans penis. It can offer a targeted solution to complement the overall appearance of the penis and adjust proportions.
At our PraxisClinic, we consider glans enlargement as a possible component of a penis enlargement concept. It is often considered in combination with other enlargement procedures, with the intervention usually planned about 6 months after a primary penis enlargement surgery. This timing can be sensible to allow healing and better coordinate proportions.
The decision for glans thickening is personal and requires careful consideration. It is suitable for men who want to change the appearance of the glans through visual enlargement and increased firmness. This procedure is associated by some men with increased satisfaction, especially if a penis lengthening or thickening has already been performed and a more harmonious overall genital appearance is desired. Realistic expectations are important, as the focus is on an aesthetic adjustment that considers the individual proportions of the penis. Expert consultation is essential to determine whether this method meets personal needs and goals.
As with penis lengthening or penis thickening, there are certain prerequisites or pre-treatments that may exclude or require special caution for performing glans thickening in our practice:
- Patients with previous genital surgeries: If you have already had genital procedures, especially on the glans, particularly if these did not meet expectations, this could limit the possibilities for glans thickening. Previous surgeries can lead to scarring and tissue changes, which may make achieving the desired results more difficult.
- Previous use of certain products or devices: Patients who have used products or devices to alter the glans may have changes in tissue structure or sensitivity. Such prior applications can affect the procedure and results of glans thickening.
- Medical and psychological factors: Certain medical or psychological conditions may make glans thickening inappropriate or risky. These include untreated sexual dysfunctions, unrealistic expectations, or unwillingness to comply with postoperative care instructions.
Our focus is on the safety and well-being of our patients. In comprehensive consultations, we evaluate all relevant aspects individually to ensure that glans thickening is a suitable option for the patient.
At our PraxisClinic, we use hyaluronic acid injection for glans thickening. Hyaluronic acid is biocompatible and is injected directly into the glans under local anesthesia. The substance has the advantage that it is processed by the body over time, allowing the glans to gain size and firmness without significantly changing its natural shape.
Treatment with hyaluronic acid is considered an established and minimally invasive option for glans thickening. It usually leaves no scars and integrates into the tissue. A possible additional effect is increased firmness of the glans, which some patients describe as an improvement in their sexual experience. The injection of hyaluronic acid is usually done in one to two sessions. Since the substance is broken down, the effect is temporary. Many patients opt for a refresh injection after about one to three years, which is offered under adjusted conditions. These properties make hyaluronic acid a frequently chosen option for aesthetic adjustment of the glans.
At our PraxisClinic, we prefer hyaluronic acid for glans thickening over autologous fat. The reason lies in the specific properties of hyaluronic acid for this area. While autologous fat has a softer consistency, hyaluronic acid offers a firmer structure. This can be advantageous for a visible enlargement of the glans.
Treatment with hyaluronic acid usually involves one to two injection sessions. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural body substance and is broken down, durability varies individually. Many patients choose a refresh injection after about one to three years under adjusted conditions.
Another effect of using hyaluronic acid can be increased firmness of the glans. Some patients report a changed sexual experience, as the firmness of the glans can be noticeable. These properties make hyaluronic acid a common choice for glans thickening.
Glans thickening with hyaluronic acid is performed under sterile conditions and with local anesthesia to increase patient comfort. In this procedure, hyaluronic acid is injected into the glans using fine needles. The goal is an even distribution of hyaluronic acid to achieve a natural-looking enlargement.
This minimally invasive procedure requires surgical experience to strive for satisfactory results. The use of hyaluronic acid, which integrates into the tissue and is broken down, usually does not lead to visible scars. The process aims to preserve the shape and function of the glans while adjusting size and firmness.
After the procedure, appropriate aftercare is important for the outcome. Patients receive specific instructions for caring for the treated area to support good healing. This may include avoiding certain activities and adhering to hygiene regulations.
In the first days after the procedure, mild swelling and discomfort may occur, which usually subside. It is advisable to avoid physical strain, especially in the genital area, during the first week after the procedure. We also recommend refraining from sexual activity for an individually determined period to not impair the healing process.
Glans thickening can be a complement to other penis enlargement measures. This procedure is usually not performed simultaneously with penis lengthening or thickening. Instead, we often recommend considering glans thickening about 6 months after a primary penis enlargement surgery. This time interval can be sensible to allow healing of the penile shaft and enable assessment of proportions.
When planning a combined treatment that could include both penis lengthening or thickening as well as glans thickening, an individual treatment plan is created. This plan takes into account your aesthetic goals and needs. Through this approach, we aim for a harmonious result that meets expectations both functionally and aesthetically.
The decision for glans thickening is a personal step. It is our concern to inform you comprehensively about all related aspects. The safety and well-being of our patients have priority, so we emphasize open communication.
As with any medical procedure, glans thickening with hyaluronic acid carries certain risks. These may include reactions to the material, irregularities in shaping, or changes in sensitivity. To minimize these risks, it is important that the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon. We are committed to ensuring that you are well informed and cared for. It is important to note that this procedure should be performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon.
