Androfill overview

Androfill is the most experienced provider of penis fillers in its network of clinics worldwide, with procedures performed since 2012. The Androfill procedure increases penis thickness, erect and flaccid, and flaccid length, safely and with minimal downtime.

By injecting deeper than the usual subcutaneous layer, our method provides a smoother and firmer result with less downtime: two weeks before resuming sex, one week without heavy lifting. In Canada the procedure is performed by Dr Saqib Anwer in Edmonton.

Report from Martin, 32, builder and model

Martin, who was single at the time after splitting up with his wife, admits his insecurity had a negative impact on relationships. But when Martin stumbled across the Androfill clinic online, it was a turning point. He says: "I spoke to them and they said I was well above average in length. But from their research, they said women seem to focus on girth and I could try the fillers."

Martin has now had the procedure three times and has gone from a girth of around five inches when flaccid to more than six. "My missus says she can definitely tell and can feel the difference."

Martin's story in The Sun

Press coverage describes Androfill's work internationally. Individual results vary.

Amount of filler required

Most patients take 10 to 20 ml

The more filler used, the larger the result. A longer penis will generally require more filler than a shorter penis to achieve the same increase in circumference.

Flaccid penis length is also increased by the procedure. The weight of the filler and a scaffolding effect reduce penile retraction after losing an erection, so there is less shrinkage from erect to flaccid.

Estimate your size gain

How long does filler last?

12 to 24 months half-life

Patients generally lose around 50% of the filler in the first 12 to 24 months, depending on the filler type and their personal characteristics. A repeat treatment, usually with less filler, maintains the increased size.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are metabolized at a roughly even rate each month (2 to 7% per month depending on brand). The durability quoted is a half-life: the point at which an estimated 50% of the filler remains.

Collagen stimulators such as Ellansé are not offered in Canada. They last around four years but are not reversible and carry a higher risk.

Androfill technique®

Micro-cannula, deep to the Dartos fascia

The Androfill technique uses a 21g blunt-tipped cannula to inject filler into a deeper layer of the penis than is usual elsewhere. This provides a smoother and firmer result.

Why depth matters

If filler is injected too superficially, just under the loose outer skin, it may be detectable and is more likely to move and form lumps. Injecting at depth, deep to the Dartos fascia, integrates the gel with firmer tissue.

It is essential to inject filler deep to the Dartos fascia; however, this is not being achieved elsewhere.

Are penis fillers safe?

Yes, when a reversible filler is used

Androfill is the safest medical approach to thicken the penis and is considerably safer than surgery. Complications are rare and usually minor: temporary swelling and mild bruising. A full list of complications is on our risks and complications page and is discussed at your consultation.

Dermal filler has been used for over 25 years in cosmetic medicine and for over 10 years in penis enlargement, with an excellent safety profile. Injecting filler in the penis is no riskier than filler elsewhere in the body when injected by a suitably qualified doctor using an advanced method such as the Androfill technique.

Reversibility

If a patient does not like the result, or wishes to reverse the procedure for any other reason, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved at any time with an injection of the enzyme hyaluronidase. It passes safely out of the body.

Compared with fat transfer

Using reversible filler is safer than surgical fat transfer, and results are superior in texture, uniformity and predictability: filler outcomes vary less and are less lumpy. Fat transfer vs filler.

Description of the procedure

Three steps

The simplicity of the Androfill procedure opens up penis enlargement to men who would not previously have considered it or are put off by invasive surgery. The penis is thickened by injection of dermal filler, giving an immediate increase in girth and flaccid length.

  1. A 30-minute consultation with the doctor.
  2. If you wish to proceed, topical anesthetic cream is applied, then the filler is injected. As soon as the filler is injected, the penis is thicker.
  3. No heavy lifting for one week and no sex for two weeks.

After the consultation you have time to consider your decision; the injection itself takes about ten minutes. Patient-doctor confidentiality is strictly adhered to, and because recovery is quick it is your choice whether to tell your partner.

Frequently asked questions

Maximum size increase

It is possible to increase penis size significantly by purchasing a large amount of filler. However, maximum volume guidelines apply to hyaluronic acid fillers for two reasons.

Irreversible stretching of penile tissue. When tissue is significantly stretched for a long period, collagen and elastin fibres lose some ability to retract. Beyond roughly a 20% increase you are likely to be left with loose skin should you ever stop and return to your original size. Single procedures of more than 10 ml are discouraged, and patients are warned of this risk once the total exceeds 20 ml or a 20% increase.

Limits of hyaluronic acid to provide firmness. Too thick a layer of gel compresses under pressure and the erection can feel softer, sometimes called the "padded penis" effect. A softer HA may feel less firm with as little as 10 ml; a very firm HA can support about 20 ml and a one-inch gain in circumference before it is noticeable. These are the filler's rheological properties (Molliard et al., Plast Aesthet Res 2018;5:17).

In short: stay below 20 ml of hyaluronic acid to lower the risk of permanent stretching and to keep the erection firm.

How much filler will I need?

Estimates only, based on measurements of about 450 patients. The girth gained depends on the length of the penis and the amount injected; a shorter penis needs less filler and costs less. Individual results vary and cannot be precisely predicted.

We recommend testing your new girth with any long-term partner before opting for more. Further filler can be added at a follow-up as soon as two weeks later. The safest and most effective approach is to add girth cumulatively, in manageable steps, rather than all in one go. Use the estimator.

How safe is this procedure?

This is the safest medical approach available to thicken the penis and considerably safer than surgery. Complications are rare and usually minor: temporary swelling and mild bruising. Infection is a rare possibility, reduced with a course of antibiotics. Worldwide, facial procedures using HA filler exceed 5 million a year; penis procedures are around 15,000 a year, roughly 10% of them at an Androfill clinic. Full list: risks and complications.

How easy is the procedure? Do I need a hospital?

No hospital. Treatment day follows your consultation: numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes, then you lie back while the doctor injects the filler deep to the Dartos fascia. The entry points close in seconds. You can go straight back to an office job, but no manual labour or heavy lifting for one week. You are unlikely to experience pain during the procedure or recovery, no stitches are needed, and you can drive home.

How soon after the girth enhancement can I have sex?

Not for 14 days. This ensures all injection points are fully healed, reducing any chance of infection. During the first 3 to 5 days the filler is semi-malleable and could move.

Will my penis be normal after girth enhancement?

Yes. Erection and urination function normally. The angle of erection may be lower because the penis is heavier, and it may hang slightly lower when soft. It will have more girth when soft and when hard.

Are the results instant? Will the filler reabsorb?

Yes, your penis is instantly thicker, although early swelling contributes to the first appearance. The settled result is assessed at your follow-up. The filler slowly reabsorbs, usually over 12 to 24 months; eventually all of it is gone. A repeat treatment with about half the original volume typically maintains the result. New tissue growth is stimulated through neocollagenesis, but we do not guarantee any level of permanent gain. Very rarely, filler can reabsorb in a matter of months.

Is there a limit to how much filler I can have?

Packages range from 10 ml to 20 ml. Additional filler can be added, if desired, after two weeks. More is possible, but cumulatively, for the best result and highest safety. Ultimately the doctor determines the limit.

Can I see any cosmetic injector for this to save money?

It is best to see a doctor experienced in penis enlargement. Unless the filler is placed in the correct layer the result will be poor, and a correct understanding of penile anatomy avoids damage.

I have a short penis. Will Androfill do anything for length?

For erect length, no. For flaccid length, yes: the weight of the filler causes it to hang lower. As with lengthening surgery, there is no increased length in the erect state. There is evidence that most women prefer girth over length: in a University of Texas study, 90% of partners preferred a wider penis (BMC Women's Health).

What is hyaluronic acid? Is it toxic?

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of skin that retains moisture and supports skin structure. It is not toxic; the body produces it, it has been used in facial fillers for many years and in osteoarthritis treatment, and it is sold as an oral supplement. The gel used in the penis is smooth and firm and integrates with surrounding tissue, taking on its warmth and feel.

Is there something permanent I can inject?

Permanent results exist but the risks are higher. PMMA or silicone are injected in some countries without regulation. PMMA is a plastic-like polymer that does not belong in the body and is near impossible to remove surgically if there is a bad reaction. Hyaluronic acid, by comparison, can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

What is a normal size? Should I consider girth enhancement?

Most of our patients have an average penis size and choose girth enhancement for confidence. For those in long-term relationships, consider your partner's preference; incompatibility in size can cause dissatisfaction either way, and it may be inadvisable to proceed if your partner prefers a thinner penis. See men and penis size.

Can I do something if I don't like the result?

Yes. The enzyme hyaluronidase dissolves the filler into water, which passes safely out of the body. This can be done at any time and is why hyaluronic acid is the safer approach. Dissolving is at the doctor's discretion and may be chargeable.

How long will the treatment take?

The procedure itself takes less than 30 minutes as an outpatient. On treatment day set aside about two hours for preparation, your questions and for the numbing cream to work. You can walk or drive home straight away.

Can I drive home after the procedure?

Yes. You are not sedated and are able to drive home following the procedure.

Are there any stitches required?

No stitches are required. Tiny holes are made by the needle or cannula to inject the filler, and they close on their own.

Is it abnormal to want a bigger penis?

No. You fit squarely within the normal range of men. If you want a bigger penis you are in the majority: most men would enjoy a larger penis. Opting to increase penis girth is arguably more normal than investing significant time in body-building with steroids and supplements, spending excessively on luxuries for the ego, or going through life unsatisfied with an important aspect of your body and identity when there is a relatively easy solution.

What does hyaluronic acid look like?

The gel used in the penis is smooth and firm and integrates with the surrounding tissue naturally, taking on its warmth and feel to the touch.

Why go non-surgical rather than surgery?

Penile surgery is a higher-risk and largely obsolete approach to penis enlargement. A surgical approach takes unnecessary risks with your penis; for penis thickness, surgery is no longer necessary. See non-surgical vs surgical penis enlargement.

Filler authenticity

Counterfeit filler, bought at a fraction of the price of genuine product and manufactured in non-sterile conditions, circulates in several countries. Androfill clinics use only genuine, traceable product from licensed distributors; ask to see the box and lot number at your appointment.

After three children, my wife doesn't feel as tight anymore. I know the sensation isn't as intense as it used to be, and she feels the same. We talked about vaginal tightening procedures but then I discovered Androfill and thought it would be easier for me to thicken my penis than for her to have surgery.

Illustrative photo for the small size patient typeSmall size

For my whole life I have hated having a small penis, it started in school when the other kids pointed out how small I was. I have carried this feeling around with me for many years. Now that I have the money I would like to do something about my penis size, if only so that I can stop wasting time thinking about it.

Illustrative photo for the young couple patient typeYoung couple

My partner and I have an active sex life which includes sex toys and also penis pumps however the effect is temporary. We want to experience sex with a larger penis. I want my Androfill penis to be the same size as when I am pumped.

The philosophy behind Androfill

A safe option that is easy to recover from

More often than not, men would like a larger penis. A YouGov poll found 42% of British men aged 18 to 24 would like their penis to be larger, and penis enlargement ranked second among cosmetic modifications men would consider. As increasing penis thickness has become a safe and simple procedure, there is no reason not to make it readily available.

What we hope to prevent

  • Unnecessary penoplasty surgery
  • The risk and cost of penis enlargement pills
  • Dangerous substances such as silicone, paraffin or mineral oil
  • Wasted time and money on devices and exercise regimes
  • Relationships blighted by genital size incompatibility

The benefits

  • Self-confidence, for men with small or thin penises and for average men who simply wish to be a little thicker
  • For many, better relationships through improved satisfaction with sex
  • Improved sensation for both partners where there is a size mismatch, often after childbirth
  • A safer and more effective alternative to surgery
  • Relief from anxiety about penis size
