Is there something permanent I can inject into the penis?

Published 5 August 2018 · Updated 15 July 2025

With permanent fillers such as silicone or PMMA, the risks are much higher.

PMMA is a processed polymer or plastic-like substance; we do not feel that it is safe to inject it into the penis.

It is nearly impossible to surgically remove PMMA beads from the penis if there is a poor outcome.

Removing PMMA and permanent fillers is a financially expensive process. It can also take a lot of time and cause pain and emotional suffering, as well as damage to the penile tissue into which the permanent filler has integrated.

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, by comparison, can be dissolved away if there are any issues by injecting Hyaluronidase enzyme solution.
