And so far, about how long has it been since you had your procedure? I’d appreciate any feedback that you can give.
The right brands/formulations of
HA can feel like a
natural firm, and remember, the penis has some natural give (which are why dildos are not as hard as vibrators). There have been reports of
HA being soft for some, but on the flip side I've heard of
PMMA penises being perhaps TOO firm in the
Flaccid.
Quite frankly what I've come to learn over the years is that
Hyaluronic Acid (
HA) come cross-linked, all having advantages for certain applications. In other words, some brands are better for the face while others are great for the penis.
I'll give you an example-- there was once (maybe still exists) a brand of
HA called Macrolane sold in Europe. The manufacturer had no intention of its use in the penis, but Doctors used it off-label anyways because that's just how most fillers are used. Macrolane had a notoriously low viscosity, essentially turning your penis into a water balloon. Obviously, that isn't the desired end goal and quite frankly stained
HA's reputation on the forums for a long time.
It wasn't until it was obvious that more robust formulations of
HA could work perfectly fine in the penis, it was a matter of figuring out which ones worked best. This is a lot like
PMMA percentages. A Doctor will not use 30%
PMMA in the face, it'll be 10% or less. Knowing the formulation helps you determine where its best applied. Fortunately we live in an age where Clinics are finally figuring this all out.
Nowadays brands like Revanesse and Volux are seemingly the go-to
HA for penis enlargement and have had positive receptions as of late.
Personally I think
HA is a great starting point. Some guys end up liking it and will continue to stay with it. Some guys well end up liking it but will prefer to move on to more permanent options. And of course some will end up not liking it and opt for other alternatives (or none at all). There are absolutely guys who have gotten other procedures done (
Dermal Grafts,
PMMA, etc.) only to end up not liking it. At least with
HA you reduce the likelihood of having to manage any long-term issues, be it dissatisfaction, complications, etc - no matter how uncommon they may be.
