Penis Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer Procedure £5,400
Including LipiVage + VibroSat Cannula (For PRP add £1,000)
Inject fat from the stomach into the penis
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Generally Less Safe (Penis Surgery is Higher Risk)
Fat transfer surgery is higher risk than penis filler injections due to the need to go under general anaesthetic, and a greater risk of complications. See recent death from fat embolism.
Fat is not found naturally in the penis
Fat is made by the body and found in most places, however, the body does put any fat in the penis naturally. The penis needs to be firm when erect rather than surrounded in a layer of fat.
Temporary – Usually lasts 3 – 12 months *
Fat is reabsorbed by the body over 3 – 12 months after which ‘top-ups’ are required. A small amount of fat can survive in the penis for a very long time, however, the result is not permanent.
Fat is living tissue and its survival requires it to establish a new blood supply after being removed from the stomach. There is no fat in penile tissue naturally, so the survival rate, when transferred to the penis is low. Any fat that survives is distributed arbitrarily along the shaft with areas of fat survival and areas in which no blood supply has been established (fat necrosis). The result is lumpiness.
* Results will vary from person to person.
Permanent Results
Claims are often made that a fat transfer to the penis will provide a permanent result, however, this is misleading. A small amount of the fat transferred to the penis may survive for a long time, however, any permanent size gain is most likely to be in the form of hard nodules of necrotic fat with calcification. In almost all cases a fat transfer will need to be repeated a number of times in order to smooth out irregularities and maintain any increase in size.
Size increase typically up to a 1-inch increase in girth *
* As with penis fillers, it is possible to increase the girth of the penis by up to 2 inches, however, this requires multiple fat transfer surgeries.
More fat transfer surgery results in more penis girth.
Recovery time 6 weeks
Depending on your profession more than 2 weeks may be required off work and patients should not have sex for 6 weeks.
Fat transfer surgery typically takes 1-2 hours in a private hospital and typically does not require an overnight stay.
Risks:
Swelling, which can last up to 3 months
Bruising (2 weeks)
Infection (rare, but serious). Antibiotics are prescribed.
Skin fibrosis
Scarring
Skin necrosis requiring surgical removal
Fat necrosis, fat nodule formation
Embolism, death (very rare)
* Individual results will vary from person to person.
Fat transfer is generally safe for penis enlargement, however, the results are inferior to dermal fillers.
Fat Transfer Issues
Lumps of necrotic fat
Uneven, lumpy results after fat reabsorption

Penis Fillers
10 ml Voluma Filler £2,190
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Hyaluronic acid penis fillers are lower risk. No surgery is necessary and the procedure is reversible by injecting a substance which dissolves away the filler if necessary.
A small amount of Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the penis, although not enough to make any difference in size. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally and found throughout the body.
Hyaluronic acid is metabolised (absorbed) by the body over 12 – 18 months, at which point most patients have up to 50% of the filler remaining. In rare cases, Hyaluronic acid can be absorbed more quickly or last longer than average.
Manufacturer claim: “When treated again after 2 years, patients needed less product to achieve their results.” **
* Results will vary from person to person.
** Studies carried out on the filler used specifically in the cheeks.
High-risk substances such as PMMA or silicone can provide permanent results, however, they are not allowed to be used in the UK as they cause serious complications.
There is some indication that Hyaluronic acid fillers can stimulate collagen production resulting in longer-lasting results.
* As with fat transfer, it is possible to increase the girth of the penis by up to 2 inches, however, this requires a large number of injections.
More filler results in more penis girth.
Resume sex after 2 weeks.
Using Androfill injection technique
No need to take time off work
The procedure typically takes 30 minutes. Walk in – walk out basis.
Swelling, which can last up to 1 month
Bruising (1 week)
Filler migration (filler moving from where it was injected). Rare after the first week when injected using the Androfill technique
Uneven distribution of filler. The filler can be shaped and moulded during the first week before it sets. The filler can be altered or dissolved using Hyaluronidase enzyme
Infection (rare). New patients are expected to take a 5-day course of antibiotics and abstain from sex for 7 days.
* Individual results will vary from person to person.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and effective for penis enlargement.
