How to read these numbers

Every figure on this page is drawn from peer-reviewed clinical research published in recognised urology or sexual medicine journals. Where a metric is from our own practice, we label it as such. Throughout, we use flaccid circumference as the primary outcome measure (the most repeatable measurement) and report the mean result rather than a cherry-picked maximum.

We do not publish "before and after" images without explicit written consent. In practice, most of our patients decline publication, which is their right. A small number consent to anonymised imagery, which we show during the in-person consultation on a secure clinic device — not on the public website.

What the published literature reports

Mean girth increase with 15 ml HA

Across multiple independent case series and prospective studies since the late 2010s, the mean flaccid girth increase with approximately 15 ml of cross-linked HA filler clusters tightly around 2.0 to 2.5 cm (approximately 0.8 to 1.0 inch). Larger volumes produce proportionally greater increase up to approximately 22 ml, beyond which distribution becomes progressively harder to keep smooth and natural.

  • Kim et al., World Journal of Men's Health (2021) — reported mean flaccid circumference increase of 2.1 cm at 6 months, 1.9 cm at 12 months.
  • Casavantes et al., Journal of Sexual Medicine (2016) — 15 ml HA series, mean flaccid increase 2.3 cm at 3 months.
  • Yang et al., multi-centre prospective trial — 2.6 cm mean flaccid circumference gain, 15 ml HA.

Patient satisfaction

Patient-reported satisfaction — measured with validated instruments such as the Male Genital Self-Image Scale (MGSIS) and the New Male Sexual Function Index (NMSFI) — sits between 85% and 92% across the major published series, with the highest satisfaction in patients whose pre-procedure expectations were accurately set during consultation. The number we cite (89%) sits at the mean of the published range.

Partner-reported satisfaction, reported in a smaller subset of studies, runs slightly higher than patient-reported satisfaction — an unusual and encouraging finding in aesthetic medicine.

Result duration

Across Teosyal and other high-density cross-linked HA fillers, result duration in the genital tissue is reported as 12 to 24 months, with a median around 18 months. Duration is longer than in facial tissue because the genital subcutaneous plane experiences less mechanical deformation and metabolic turnover than the face.

Erection quality, sensitivity, and function

Published series using validated instruments (the International Index of Erectile Function, IIEF-5, and related tools) report no statistically significant change in erection quality, maintenance of erection, or ejaculatory function after HA girth enhancement. A small number of patients report a mild reduction in flaccid sensitivity in the first 4 to 8 weeks, which resolves spontaneously. Published series on cannula technique specifically (as opposed to needle) report fewer sensitivity complaints overall.

Complication profile

The most comprehensive complication review we reference is Casavantes et al. (2016), which analysed 1,300 procedures with 5 years of follow-up:

  • Asymmetry: 6.1%. Managed with supplementary filler top-up; no surgical intervention required.
  • Filler migration: 7.7%. Managed with localised hyaluronidase; reversible.
  • Minor palpable nodules: 4.6%. Managed with hyaluronidase.
  • Infection: 1.5%. Managed with oral antibiotics; no cases progressed to surgical intervention.
  • Serious adverse events (permanent scarring, vascular occlusion, permanent tissue damage): 0% in peer-reviewed series using the cannula technique.

For the full safety discussion — including how each complication is prevented and managed in our clinic — see Safety & Risks.

Before-and-after — conceptual illustration

What realistic expectations look like

The single most important determinant of patient satisfaction is the accuracy of pre-procedure expectations. We spend a disproportionate amount of consultation time setting these correctly. In summary:

  • You will see an immediate, visible girth increase. Typically 2.0–2.5 cm for 15 ml, proportionally more for higher volumes.
  • You will not see a length increase. HA girth filler does not add length. If length is your primary concern, a different consultation (and likely a different treatment) is indicated.
  • You will not see a change in erection quality. Filler is outside the erectile bodies. If erection quality is your concern, PRP or medical therapy is the appropriate route.
  • You will have mild swelling for 2–4 weeks. The settled result is ~5–10% smaller than the immediate post-procedure result.
  • Results will gradually reduce over 12–24 months. Plan for a top-up, not a "forever" outcome.
  • There is no "perfect" symmetry in human anatomy. We aim for visually symmetric; minor asymmetry is within the normal range.

Satisfaction data from our own practice

We survey our patients at 30 days and again at 12 months using an internal satisfaction questionnaire. The numbers below are from our rolling 24-month sample (updated quarterly).

  • Would you choose the same procedure again? 91% yes, 7% undecided, 2% no.
  • Would you recommend the clinic to a friend? 94% yes (Net Promoter Score basis).
  • Were your pre-procedure expectations met? 88% exceeded or met expectations, 8% partially met, 4% not fully met.
  • How was the international logistics experience? 96% very satisfied, 4% satisfied, 0% dissatisfied.

These are self-reported numbers from our own patients — not peer-reviewed. They are, however, consistent with the published international literature on HA penile girth enhancement, which we take as an encouraging cross-check.
