Introduction Soft tissue augmentation using hyaluronic acid (HA) filler has grown rapidly in recent years, while clinical studies, especially randomized control trial, in penile augmentation (PA) using HA filler rarely conducted. Objective This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of HA filler injection for temporary PA as compared to polylactic acid (PLA) filler. Methods The present prospective, patient/evaluator-blinded, multi-center study randomized 74 patients with small penis syndrome, which defined as the anxiety felt when one's penis is being observed because of concern that the penis is small, to HA filler injection or PLA filler injection for PA. Penile girth and satisfaction, were assessed at baseline and at 4, 12, and 24 weeks after injection. Safety profile evaluation was extended for 48 weeks for HA filler injection group. Results Grossly, both filler materials were evenly distributed, and led to a significant volume expansion for up to 24 weeks post-injection (Figure 1) In both group, mean penile girths significantly increased at 4 weeks post-injection (2.7±1.0 and 2.3±1.1 cm mean increases in the HA and PLA groups, respectively; each p |
