Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of penile girth enhancement (PGE) using hyaluronic acid (HA) filler with different physical properties from previous studies. Additionally, we evaluated the clinical impact on ejaculation after PGE.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, patient/evaluator-blinded, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter trial. Patients recruited between December 2017 and March 2018 were randomly assigned to the HA filler or control group (polylactic acid [PLA] filler). Penile girth, satisfaction level, Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP), and self-estimated intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) were assessed at baseline and at 24 weeks post-injection.
Results: Sixty-four subjects (32 in each group) completed the trial. The mean increase in girth was 22.74±12.60 mm and 20.23±8.73 mm in the HA and control groups, respectively. Satisfaction level regarding penile appearance and sexual life significantly increased in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of increase in penile girth or change in satisfaction level. Both groups showed significant improvements in PEP index scores. Self-estimated IELT also significantly increased in the HA group (from 5.36±3.51 to 7.86±4.73 minutes, p=0.0001) and control group (from 5.23±3.55 to 6.43±4.22 minutes, p=0.021). No serious adverse events (AEs) were reported.
Conclusions: PGE with HA and PLA fillers resulted in significant enhancement of girth without serious AEs with no significant differences. Furthermore, PGE using filler improved clinical symptoms related to ejaculation.
