Penile bioplasty, also called penis filling, is an aesthetic procedure that aims to increase the diameter of the penis through the application of substances in this organ, such as polymethylmethacrylate hyaluronic acid, popularly known as PMMA.
Despite being a simple and fast procedure, it is not recommended by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, as it has risks that are related to the quality and quantity of the substance applied, which can result in a serious inflammatory process, increased risk of infection and necrosis of the organ. Therefore, it is important that penile bioplasty is well thought out and that the man knows what are the risks associated with the procedure.
How penile bioplasty is performed
Penile bioplasty must be performed by a trained professional, preferably by a plastic surgeon, as despite being a simple procedure, it is delicate and precise, and lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. To perform the bioplasty, it is necessary that local anesthesia is performed and that the penis is erect so that the applied substance can spread evenly throughout the penis.
The applied substance can vary according to the application site, that is, if the man's desire is to increase the diameter of the glans, hyaluronic acid is usually applied, since it is a more sensitive region and this substance can be absorbed by the body, while for the rest of the penis PMMA is used to thicken. It is also possible that the person's own fat is applied to thicken the penis, but this procedure is more rare. In addition, the amount to be applied of the substance may vary according to how much it is desired to thicken, which may result in an increase of up to 5 cm in diameter.
Although it is a quick, simple procedure, which does not require cuts, it has risks and has a high cost, ranging from 2 thousand to 20 thousand reais depending on the professional who will perform the procedure, where it will be applied and amount of the substance.
In addition, like any aesthetic procedure, bioplasty has risks, mainly related to the quantity and quality of the applied substance, which can result in excessive inflammatory response, infections, nodule formation, risk of rejection of the substance by the body and necrosis, for example. Therefore, to minimize risks, it is recommended that bioplasty is performed only by experienced professionals and in a safe and appropriate environment.

How is recovery
After performing the bioplasty, the man can now go home and continue his daily activities without any problem, however it is recommended that he does not have sex for about 30 to 60 days, according to medical advice, to avoid that the results are compromised and that there are deformities over time.
Despite being a low risk procedure, it is important to be aware of any changes in the penis and the application site, going to the doctor in case of any signs or symptoms that may be indicative of infection, for example.
