Quick answer: The only reliable ways to increase penile girth are medically supervised procedures (HA filler, PMMA/Bellafill® in appropriate cases, and surgical fat transfer for qualified candidates). Pills, pumps, and jelqing don’t create permanent structural change, and unsafe injections marketed under vague names can lead to complications that may require repair. A private consult is the safest way to determine what’s realistic for your anatomy.

If you’ve ever wondered how to get a thicker penis, you’re not alone—and you’re not without real options. For many men, girth concerns tie into confidence, body image, and relationship satisfaction.
The challenge is that the internet mixes legitimate medical procedures with “quick fixes” and high-risk methods that can create long-term problems. This guide breaks down what actually works, what typically doesn’t, and what you should avoid.
At Rejuvall, girth enhancement is evaluated and planned within a urology-led medical framework focused on safety, function, and natural-looking proportion.
Why Penis Girth Matters to Men’s Confidence
Penis size — especially girth — is more than just a physical attribute. For many men, it plays a significant role in how they view themselves, how confident they feel during intimacy, and how satisfied they are with their bodies overall.
In fact, studies have shown that men often worry more about girth than length when it comes to performance and aesthetics.
While everyone’s preferences vary, increased girth can lead to stronger visual appeal, greater sensation during intercourse, and improved partner satisfaction. But perhaps most importantly, it can offer peace of mind — helping men feel more secure and confident in their own skin.
If you’ve found yourself second-guessing or avoiding intimacy because of size concerns, you’re not alone — and there are real, medically sound solutions designed to help.
Your main options (7 pathways men encounter)
When men research girth enhancement, they typically run into these categories:
- Pills, pumps, and jelqing (not permanent; sometimes harmful)
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler (non-surgical, adjustable; often reversible when clinically appropriate)
- PMMA/Bellafill® (long-lasting/permanent pathway; higher commitment)
- Unsafe injections marketed as “permanent” (high-risk; often difficult to correct)
- Surgical fat transfer (PERM® for qualified candidates)
- Implant-based girth augmentation (higher complication/revision considerations)
- Combination/staged plans (when medically appropriate)
"Quick Fixes" (And Why They Fail)
Pills, pumps, and DIY techniques are widely marketed because they’re easy to sell—but they do not create true, lasting girth enlargement.
- “Enlargement pills” may affect erection quality for some men, but that is not permanent structural growth.
- Vacuum pumps can cause temporary swelling. Overuse can injure tissue.
- Jelqing and aggressive stretching are not evidence-based and may increase risk of scarring or curvature.
If you want a real, measurable change in girth, your options are medical.
Medically supervised girth enhancement (the reliable options)
HA filler (non-surgical, adjustable)
HA filler is often a first choice for men who want a non-surgical option with a conservative, stepwise plan. It’s chosen because it can be molded/adjusted, and in some situations can be reversed with hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate.
Good fit for: first-time patients, men who want adjustability, men who want to confirm proportions before committing to a longer-lasting path.

PMMA/Bellafill® (long-lasting/permanent pathway)
PMMA is a higher-commitment option that’s typically considered after a patient has already confirmed they like their proportions (often after HA). Bellafill® is PMMA-based and is FDA-approved for certain indications; when used for penile girth, it is an off-label use that requires careful consent and clinician oversight.
Because PMMA is intended to remain long-term, planning is conservative and technique-driven. Over-aggressive placement or unrealistic volume goals can increase the risk of firmness, nodules, or contour issues.

Already have HA and want permanence? FusionThick™ (PMMA underlayer to existing HA)
Surgical fat transfer (PERM®) for qualified candidates
For men seeking a natural tissue option, surgical fat transfer may be appropriate if you meet candidacy requirements (healing profile, donor fat availability, non-smoking status, etc.). Because it’s surgery, it involves a different recovery profile and aftercare.

What Is Penile Girth Enhancement with Dermal Fillers?
Penile girth enhancement using dermal fillers is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to increase the circumference (girth) of the penis.
It’s one of the most popular and effective methods for men seeking a natural-looking boost in size without the risks or downtime of traditional surgery.
At its core, the procedure involves strategically injecting biocompatible dermal fillers just beneath the skin of the shaft. These FDA-approved fillers are some of the same ones used in facial aesthetics.
How the Procedure Works
- Consultation: You’ll meet with a specialist to discuss your goals, medical history, and ideal results.
- Preparation: A topical or local anesthetic is applied for comfort.
- Filler Injection: Using precision techniques, the filler is placed evenly along the shaft to increase volume and symmetry.
- Shaping & Recovery: The filler is gently massaged to create a smooth, uniform appearance. Most men resume normal activities the same day.
Why Dermal Fillers Are a Smart Choice
- Non-surgical: No incisions or stitches required
- Low risk: Minimal side effects and virtually no downtime
- Customizable: Can be tailored to your ideal size and aesthetic
- Reversible or adjustable: Some fillers can be dissolved or topped up over time
At Rejuvall, we take this a step further.
Our patented penile filler technique is the result of years of research and refinement — offering unmatched results in both appearance and feel.
Before and After: What Kind of Results Can You Expect from Penis Fillers?
One of the most common questions men ask is: “Will I actually see a difference?” The answer is yes — especially with high-quality, medically administered penile dermal fillers. The results are not only visible but can be a significant boost to confidence and satisfaction.
Most patients experience an immediate increase in penis girth following the filler injections. Once any minor swelling subsides (usually within a few days), what remains is a noticeably thicker, fuller shaft that looks and feels natural.
What’s the Average Gain in Girth from Fillers?
While individual results vary, most men see a 25–40% increase in girth — both flaccid and erect — after just one treatment session. Because fillers are customizable, men can opt for additional volume in follow-up sessions if desired.

How Long Do Penis Filler Results Last?
The longevity of penile girth enhancement results depends largely on the type of filler used. At Rejuvall, we offer different filler options tailored to your goals — whether you’re looking for temporary volume or a more permanent solution.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are one of the most popular and trusted options for non-surgical penile girth enhancement. They’re biocompatible, reversible, and typically last between 12 to 48 months, depending on how much filler is injected and how many rounds you’ve completed.
Because penile enhancement requires a higher volume of HA than facial applications, the body’s natural enzyme (hyaluronidase), which breaks down HA over time, has limited access to the entire filler mass. This can significantly slow the breakdown process, especially as volume increases — meaning the more HA you build up over time, the longer your results tend to last.
At Rejuvall, we often recommend two rounds of HA filler, with approximately 9.6 mL per session, for optimal, natural-looking girth enhancement. Many patients choose to return for touch-ups or additional volume depending on their goals and how their body responds.
Advantages of HA fillers:
- Minimal downtime
- Natural look and feel
- Easily adjustable size
- 100% reversible
- Ideal for first-time patients or those exploring enhancement options
PMMA-Based Fillers (Polymethylmethacrylate Microspheres)
For men seeking a longer-lasting or permanent result, PMMA-based fillers are also available. These microspheres are suspended in a collagen gel that provides immediate volume. Over time, the gel is absorbed and replaced by your body’s own collagen, creating a more permanent increase in girth.
PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) is considered a long-term or permanent filler, with years of use in facial volume restoration and reconstructive procedures. While ongoing studies continue to evaluate its long-term safety in penile tissue specifically, it remains a viable option for men seeking a more durable alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers.
That said, PMMA should be approached with care. Because it stimulates collagen production over time, it’s typically recommended after a patient has already undergone HA filler treatments and is looking to build on those results with something more lasting.
When injected too aggressively or in large volumes at the outset, PMMA can overwhelm the delicate dermal tissue of the penis, leading to inflammatory reactions, granulomas, or firm nodules. These can sometimes resemble sexually transmitted infections in appearance and, in severe cases, may require surgical excision to correct.
At Rejuvall, we use highly conservative, layered techniques when working with PMMA to minimize risk and maximize long-term success.
Advantages of PMMA:
- Long-term or permanent results
- Stimulates your body’s own collagen production
- Requires fewer touch-ups over time
At Rejuvall, we’ll walk you through all your options, including the pros and cons of each filler type, so you can make an informed decision that fits your lifestyle and long-term goals.

Dangerous injections (what to avoid)
Some providers market “permanent” injections using vague terms or proprietary labels. In real-world repair work, the problem is often lack of transparency and materials that are not appropriate for penile tissue.
If a clinic won’t clearly document what product is being used, where it comes from, and how complications would be handled, that is a major red flag.
Bottom line: Your long-term outcome depends on product transparency, sterile technique, conservative planning, and urology-led complication management.
Implant-based girth augmentation (why caution is warranted)
Implant-based girth augmentation is a separate category from dermal fillers and fat transfer. While some men pursue it for a “permanent” change, it can carry higher risk of complications (infection, pain, shifting, tissue thinning, revision/removal). If you’re considering any implant approach, you should treat it as a major decision and get a urologic second opinion.
Rejuvall’s Role in Repair and Reconstruction
Our board-certified urologists specialize in corrective surgery and penile reconstruction for men who’ve had negative outcomes from silicone implants. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may be able to:
- Safely remove the implant
- Repair or restore damaged tissue
- Rebuild natural contour and function
- Offer safer, medically sound enhancement alternatives (e.g., fat transfer or dermal filler)
Combining Penile Enhancement Procedures: Fillers, Fat Transfer, and Surgical Options
Not every man fits one category. Some cases benefit from staging—for example, building a conservative foundation first, then refining symmetry later, or addressing repair/reconstruction before enhancement. The safest plan depends on anatomy, goals, and what has been done before.
At Rejuvall, we often use a customized, multi-pathway approach to help patients achieve optimal girth, balance, and symmetry.
Why Combine Procedures?
Every patient’s anatomy, goals, and prior history are different. Some may want additional volume, others may be correcting previous enhancement work, and some may be aiming for the most durable, aesthetic result possible.
By combining techniques — such as fat transfer with added filler or reconstructive surgery followed by enhancement — we can:
- Smooth irregularities or asymmetry
- Enhance overall volume beyond what one method alone provides
- Improve durability and long-term aesthetic outcome
- Tailor the result to your unique anatomy and preferences
Examples of Combination Pathways at Rejuvall:
- Fat Transfer + Filler: After permanent girth is achieved with fat transfer, dermal fillers may be used to fine-tune symmetry or add volume in specific areas. Also, some men want more penile thickness than they achieved with a fat tissue transplant, but not twice that size which would be the likely outcome if they scheduled another FTT. Injected dermal fillers offer a pathway between that extreme.
- Corrective Surgery + Filler:
For patients who’ve had previous complications (e.g., silicone injections or failed implants), we may first perform removal and reconstruction, followed later by natural-looking enhancement with a biocompatible filler. - Staged Filler Sessions:
Some patients gradually build volume over time by spreading filler sessions out in phases — allowing for control, subtlety, and flexibility.
Is a Combination Penile Girth Procedure Right for You?
If you’ve had prior enhancement, are looking for a more refined outcome, or want to maximize both volume and aesthetic quality, a combination approach might be ideal.
During your private consultation at Rejuvall, our specialists will:
- Assess your goals and current anatomy
- Review any prior procedures
- Recommend the safest and most effective strategy — whether single or combined
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We believe in what works for you.

Is Penis Enhancement Safe? What You Need to Know
When considering penile girth enhancement, safety is often the number one concern — and rightfully so. Whether you’re exploring non-surgical dermal fillers or a more permanent surgical option like fat transfer, choosing the right provider is key.
At Rejuvall, all procedures are performed by experienced, board-certified specialists in men’s sexual health and urologic surgery. Our team uses advanced, clinically proven techniques designed to minimize risk while maximizing results.
Are Penis Fillers and Fat Transfer Safe?
Yes — both methods are considered safe when performed by skilled medical professionals using sterile technique, proper materials, and no silicone injectables.
- Dermal Fillers: Involves injecting an FDA-approved soft-tissue filler (such as hyaluronic acid or PMMA) into the shaft to increase girth. Minimally invasive, little to no downtime, and easily reversible if needed.
- Fat Transfer Surgery: Involves harvesting your body’s own fat (typically from the abdomen or flanks), purifying it, and re-injecting it into the penile shaft. This option is more invasive than fillers but offers the potential for permanent volume enhancement using natural tissue.
What Are the Risks or Side Effects?
Both procedures carry some risks — though complications are rare when performed by qualified specialists:
Who’s a Good Candidate for Each?
H/A Dermal Fillers may be ideal if you want:
- A non-surgical option with fast recovery
- Reversible or adjustable results
- To try enhancement and discover your ideal new size
PMMA Dermal Fillers may be ideal if you want:
- A non-surgical option with fast recovery
- Permanent outcomes
- Slower process for safe results
Fat Transfer Surgery may be better if you:
- Prefer a permanent, natural solution
- Are a non-smoker, under 62, and have sufficient donor fat
- Are comfortable with a longer recovery period
Why Rejuvall’s Technique Stands Out
Penile enhancement isn’t just about adding volume — it’s about doing it safely, aesthetically, and with results that look and feel natural. At Rejuvall, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all treatments.
Instead, we specialize in a range of advanced girth enhancement procedures tailored to your individual needs and goals — including both dermal fillers and surgical fat transfer.
Our team is led by board-certified urologists and pioneers in cosmetic penile procedures. With over 4 decades of experience, Rejuvall has become a trusted name for men seeking real, lasting enhancement with total discretion and professionalism.
Our Patented Dermal Filler Technique
Rejuvall’s approach to filler-based penile girth enhancement goes beyond the basics. We use a customized, non-cannula layering and placement method designed to:
- Maximize symmetry and smoothness
- Minimize migration or lumping
- Optimize durability of the filler material
- Create a natural look and feel, both flaccid and erect
We work with top-tier fillers including Revanesse® Versa™ hyaluronic acid (HA) and Bellafill® PMMA, depending on whether you’re looking for a temporary or more permanent solution.
Expert Surgical Fat Transfer for Permanent Girth
For men seeking a natural, permanent enhancement using their own tissue, Rejuvall also offers fat tissue transfer surgery. This involves:
- Harvesting fat from areas like the thigh via liposuction
- Purifying the fat with FDA-cleared filtration to ensure only highest-quality cells are used
- Injecting the fat evenly along the penile shaft for increased girth
This procedure is performed in a sterile, accredited surgical suite with a focus on aesthetics, safety, and long-term success. While some fat may naturally reabsorb over time, most patients retain a significant and permanent increase in girth after a single session.
Why Patients Trust Rejuvall
- Urologic specialization — not just cosmetic medicine
- Hundreds of successful procedures and satisfied clients
- Patented techniques that deliver smoother, more natural results
- Private consultations and follow-up care tailored to you
