Subcutaneous Penile Implants Versus Autologous Fat Injections
Enlarging one’s penile size is a subject which is not openly or readily discussed, even between men. This is one topic that continues to trouble men as penile size is often associated with their masculinity by many people. Self confidence is important in sustaining a long lasting relationship, and enhancing ones penile appearance can go a long way towards improving intimacy.

There are many advertisements promoting their products as a quick and easy solution for penile enlargement, but their results have never been medically proven. Subcutaneous Penile Implants and Autologous Fat Injections are two of the more popular treatments for enhancing penile length and girth. But before making any decision, let us first look at what these methods have to offer.

What are Autologous Fat Injections?

An Autologous Fat Injection is a procedure where fat is taken from the patient’s body and re-injected into the penile area in an attempt to increase length and/or girth. The goal of this procedure is to increase tissue volume in the penile area, thus giving it a fuller and longer appearance.

Advantages of Subcutaneous Penile Implants vs. Autologous Fat Injections

The FDA (Federal Drug Administration) is the government agency charged with approving medical and surgical procedures in the U.S.A.. Subcutaneous Penile Implants are currently the only FDA approved procedure for penile enlargement. This procedure has been demonstrated to be relatively safe and very effective, and should be performed by licensed urologists and surgeons.

Autologous Fat Injections have been widely used for various cosmetic surgeries. This type of medical procedure has been used for simple face lifts and can help hide the effects of aging temporarily. The use of Autologous Fat Injections for penile enhancement however is still relatively new. Unlike Subcutaneous Penile Implants, Autologous Fat Injections are not FDA approved.

Men who want to undergo penile enhancement through Autologous Fat Injections might also want to consider the long term side effects of this procedure. Penile retraction and deformity, fat absorption, lumps and nodules are just some of this procedure’s side effects due to the fact that the fat is not vascularized and almost always reabsorbs into the body or forms into hardened lumps and nodules that negatively effect the appearance and function of the penis.
