About This Procedure
Why Choose Meva Clinic?
visible girth improvement may be possible depending on filler volume and anatomy using premium high-viscosity fillers. No surgery, minimal downtime for selected non-surgical patients.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is the non-surgical route to added girth, often chosen by men who want to see the effect before considering surgery. For HA girth treatment in Istanbul, the skin is numbed with a cream and a fine micro-cannula spreads the filler evenly beneath the penile skin. There is no hospital stay; two hotel nights usually cover the treatment and follow-up check. HA is gradually broken down by the body, so the change is temporary and can be repeated if the doctor agrees. Intercourse, masturbation and friction are avoided for 7–14 days so the filler does not shift. The visible change depends on volume and anatomy and is discussed honestly, in confidence. For a surgical option using your own tissue, see fat grafting for girth.

The Clinical Procedure
Precision micro-cannula injection.
Clinical Consultation
Medical history, anatomy and goals are reviewed to confirm whether hyaluronic acid filler is suitable for you.
Preparation
The area is cleaned and a numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort.
Micro-Cannula Injection
The filler is placed in small amounts through a micro-cannula, with the volume adapted to your anatomy.
Check & Aftercare
The result is checked, gentle shaping is done if needed, and aftercare instructions are explained before you leave.
Recovery & Transformation Journey
Phase 1: Direct Rest
Avoid direct friction or pressure on the injection sites. Mild swelling is normal.
Phase 2: Activity Caution
Resume light daily activities. Avoid intense exercises or gym/swimming for 7 days.
Phase 3: Sexual Abstinence
Abstain from sexual intercourse, masturbation, and friction to prevent filler displacement or infection (7–14 days).
Phase 4: Settled Results
Filler settles completely. Sexual activity and sports may be resumed after doctor review.
The Meva Advantage
Exclusive use of medical-grade Voluma/Restylane.
Medical Guidelines & Safety Protocols
Treatment pathways are coordinated with selected specialist medical partners and accredited provider institutions, depending on the procedure and doctor assessment. Below are the clinical guidelines, safety protocols, and medical reference documentation for this procedure.
Indicated / Suitable For
- Men who want a temporary change in girth and prefer to avoid surgery
- Men who would like to see the effect of added girth before considering a surgical option
- Men in good general health with healthy penile skin and no active infection
- Patients who accept that hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down and that maintenance sessions are needed to keep the effect
- Men able to avoid intercourse, masturbation and friction for 7–14 days after the injection
Contraindications / Not Suitable
- Known allergy to hyaluronic acid, lidocaine or other components of the filler or numbing cream
- Active genital infection, a herpes outbreak, skin disease or an open wound on the shaft
- Previous permanent filler, silicone or paraffin injection into the penis, which needs specialist assessment first
- Bleeding disorders or blood-thinning medication that increases bruising, unless it can be safely managed
- Body dysmorphic disorder or size anxiety with normal penile dimensions, where counselling is the right first step
Pre-Operative Evaluation & Diagnostic Checks
Penile Examination & Measurement: Flaccid girth and skin quality are documented with standardised photos to plan the filler volume.
Medical & Allergy History: Review of allergies, previous fillers or penile procedures, medications and conditions that affect healing.
Expectation Discussion: How much volume can be placed safely, how temporary the effect is and when maintenance may be considered.
Skin Check on Treatment Day: The shaft is inspected for infection or irritation before the numbing cream is applied.
Potential Risks & Complications
In compliance with transparent clinical reporting, Meva Clinic ensures patients are fully informed of the physiological risks associated with surgical procedures through accredited partner-hospital safety protocols where clinically appropriate.
Mild swelling and small bruises at the injection points are common for a few days and settle without treatment.
Hyaluronic acid can shift, especially with early friction or intercourse; gentle moulding, the 7–14 day abstinence period and conservative volumes reduce this.
Small palpable lumps can form; many soften with moulding, and hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, an enzyme, when clinically appropriate.
Uncommon; prevented by sterile technique and aftercare hygiene, and treated promptly with antibiotics if it occurs.
Filler close to the foreskin can cause oedema or temporary difficulty retracting it; avoided by careful placement and reviewed early.
The body breaks hyaluronic acid down, so girth returns towards baseline over time; maintenance sessions can be planned if the doctor agrees.
Realistic Expectations & Outcomes
Hyaluronic acid filler can give a visible, temporary increase in girth without surgery. The change is seen straight away, although swelling makes it look larger in the first days. It does not change length or erectile function, and the amount of girth added depends on the volume that can be placed safely and on the skin. Randomised trials have followed men for up to 18 months after a single injection, and a recent meta-analysis found fewer complications with hyaluronic acid than with permanent materials, while noting that direct comparative trials are still lacking. Because the filler is gradually absorbed, the effect fades over months and its duration varies. The settled result is assessed once swelling has gone, after the first two weeks.
Revision & Follow-Up Policy
A check is carried out before you leave Istanbul, followed by remote reviews with photos, typically at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. If the contour is uneven, gentle correction or a small additional injection is considered only after swelling has settled, and dissolving the filler remains an option when clinically appropriate. Maintenance sessions are planned individually according to how the filler is absorbed, and the doctor assesses each request on medical criteria. For 12 months after your treatment you can also send photos to the medical team whenever you wish and receive their feedback, and your questions are answered remotely.
