Glans Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid | Dr. Jethon

Glans augmentation with hyaluronic acid (glans thickening) at PraxisClinic Jadore under Dr. med. Christoph Jethon is a minimally invasive procedure intended to enhance the contour and firmness of the glans penis through precise hyaluronic acid injections. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, without surgical incisions and typically without visible scars, with the aesthetic goal of a natural-looking, proportionate glans appearance. The technique uses a biocompatible hyaluronic acid filler, injected into the glans under sterile conditions with fine needles, to distribute the material evenly and achieve a smooth result. Because hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down by the body, the result is time-limited and can be refreshed if desired. In this clinic’s concept, hyaluronic acid is preferred over autologous fat specifically for the glans because it provides a firmer structure in this anatomical area, whereas fat is described as too soft to achieve the intended glans effect. Treatment is typically performed in 1 to 2 sessions, depending on the individual's plan. Durability varies individually; the clinic describes that many patients choose a refresh injection after about one to three years, and that approximately half of patients request a touch-up after around three years. Glans augmentation is positioned as a proportion-optimizing component within a broader penile enhancement plan. It is generally not performed at the same time as penile lengthening or shaft thickening; instead, it is commonly scheduled about six months after a primary penile enlargement operation to allow healing and to better coordinate overall proportions. Aftercare focuses on protecting, healing, and maintaining the shape outcome. Mild swelling and discomfort can occur in the first days and usually subside; physical strain, especially in the genital area, is recommended to be avoided during the first week, and sexual activity should be paused for an individually defined period to avoid impairing the healing process.
