Dr. Wall:
You can gain significant flaccid length. To use a colloquial expression, “you can go from a ghower to more of a show-er.” Because you’re stenting the fascia underneath to allow it to not retract as much.
Dr. Tsay:
So the procedures (fat or dermal filler) don’t give you an increase in length per se, but more than half my clients who state they appreciate the increase in girth, also say that their flaccid length increases as well. So that is a beneficial “side effect” of girth enhancement.

Dr. Shafer:
Most patients describe the effect as if their penis gained weight. So imagine a thicker / fatter / heavier penis.
Dr. Wall:
Immediately after the procedure it will feel quite swollen and you may develop a full feeling in the area. It can also feel a tiny bit squishy for those that have large volumes placed; this is because you have a lot of swelling because of the trauma from the cannula during the procedure. This all resolves within 1 to 2 weeks to provide a really natural, realistic feel to the area.
Dr. Tsay:
We usually follow up with the procedure about 2-3 weeks afterwards, and at that time the swelling is gone, the bruising is gone, and you can really appreciate the final result from either the fat transfer or dermal filler placement.
Dr. Carney:
FFT is almost identical to the feel of Ellanse in subsequent texture for the first couple of years after your augmentation. In years later as the augmented subcutaneous tissue stretches, it gets a little softer – but never as soft as HA – unless a patients receives multiple surgeries of FFT over time. Patients who add 2-3 inches of FFT girth with multiple procedures will often end up with a “squishy” hand when erect.
I’m sure you’re already aware a female partner can’t detect a difference in the rigidity of the penile shaft – they only feel the variation in total measured girth. Most sex toys involving vaginal penetration in today's market have a softer outer finish for improved comfort.

It takes roughly 30 minutes in-clinic, and we do a dorsal penis block, which is a local anesthetic provided to the base of the penis, which can numb the entire area. This way you do not feel anything during the procedure.

This procedure is all done under local anesthesia. I find that this is generally sufficient enough, and we also offer nitrous oxide (i.e. laughing gas) if you are at all nervous prior to coming in. We can also prescribe sedatives that will give you a calming experience throughout the procedure.

In the absence of complications, the answer is no (no effect on functionality). The main complications experienced with the procedure are asymmetry (which are 1 in 20 patients), bruising which is common, and swelling which is also very common. The risk of infection, whilst hasn’t been documented in papers, would sit roughly around 1 in 3,000 if we extrapolate from facial filler studies. There is also a risk of delayed-onset nodules; there is no evidence I can find in the literature, but from the face the risk of those are about 1 in 4,000-5,000. There is also a risk of injecting into a blood vessel, which we haven’t evidence of, but in the face the risk of what we call “vascular necrosis” is 1 in 100,000.

Some of the common complications are bruising and swelling. This is usually self-limited and lasts 7-10 days. We usually recommend not to use the organ (penis) for at least one week after the procedure. Not only will the penis be sore, but there will be open wounds that need to be completely healed before resuming any sexual activity.
Dr. Shafer -
The vast majority of patients report either the same sensitivity or enhanced sensitivity and enhanced / thicker erections. We have no studies on semen quality. If you have pre-existing issues such as erectile dysfunction, this is not a treatment for that. As for complications, swelling and possible bruising are the most common, and usually resolve within a week if they occur. We give you a sulumedrol steroid pack which can help the swelling go down faster.

Usually, we achieve your ideal result in one session. Occasionally, we need up to two sessions in larger packages of 20 to 30ml. I would say 1 in 20 patients require top-up for very minor asymmetries. At Contour Clinics, any asymmetries are fixed for free! We guarantee our results, and we make sure that you buy a result, not a 1ml filler.
