I want to add some thickness, but I definitely want to stay natural-looking and not have a ton of Girth with a tiny glans. I was thinking about maybe starting with a glans enhancement first, and if that goes well, then maybe having some shaft filler. It seems that everyone else who does glans enhancements is using HA which isn't permanent, so their option looks ideal--provided that there isn't some hidden drawback.
Silicone is deceiving in that in large volumes can give the penis a hefty look & instant
Girth - but its complications (if and when they do happen) are relatively more severe. This is true for silicone in all its iterations
in the penis. I specify the penis because silicone does have a decent track record in other cosmetic/bodily applications, but not so much with the penis. This forum has the sample size (decade+) as well as numerous credible physicians who can back up these facts.
Imagine, I could double my Sponsorship if I was willing to take on Dr. Loria (silicone in Miami) or all the physicians associated with Dr. Elist trains in implanting a rigid silicone device, but I don't. My site's readership comes first. I think if you review the older
PhalloBoards sites, you'll see I've stuck to that principle and still do to this day. Be smart, be safe;
Phalloplasty has come a long way and yes, you can increase your penis size through aesthetic medicine -- that said, the industry still has its bad apples, and being an informed decision maker is your best tool.
