Abstract: CONTEXT: Penis size is a great concern for men in many cultures. Despite the great variety of methods for penile augmentation, none has gained unanimous acceptance among experts in the field. However, in this era of minimally invasive procedure, injection therapy for penile augmentation has become more popular. Here we report a case of methacrylate injection in the penis that evolved with penile deformity and sexual dysfunction. This work also reviews the investigation and management of this pathological condi… Show more

“…Currently there is no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved injectable filler for the penis, nor is there a review of complications from penile fillers in the literature. However a case series of soft-tissue fillers highlight important cosmetic, functional and systemic complications, which can lead to complex penile reconstructive surgery (Table 1 ) [ 1 , 3 , 6 ]. Fillers used in this study include hyaluronic acid, polymethyl-methacrylate injection, silicone and autologous fat [ 1 , 3 , 6 ].…”

In the literature there are few case reports for self-injection for penile augmentation.…”

“…The population in question rarely seeks for help, therefore there are no adequate literature data about the incidence and the frequency of complications of vaseline self-injection. There are only a few publications in the literature, which are mostly case reports focusing on the surgical procedures and complications (Tóth et al, 1984;May and Pickering, 1956;Wiwanitkit, 2004;Pehlivanov et al, 2008;Al-Ansari et al;Karakan et al, 2012;Torricelli et al, 2013). The treatment is surgical, as conservative treatment is not a permanent solution.…”
