The first time Steven signed up to inject his penis with filler in 2019, he was afraid he would permanently mutilate it. There wasn’t a lot of reliable information about the procedure online, and he had come across a few horror stories about doctors injecting silicone into penises, causing their patients to lose sensation.
Still, he had wanted his penis to be bigger for years and was finally approved for a circumcision in Canada, where he lives. This, he had read, reduced some of the risks associated with the penile filler procedure, in which a solution — anything from silicone to hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the eyes and joints — is injected into the penis to adjust its girth and shape. With few options nearby at the time, he booked a flight to Mexico, where he had found a clinic that seemed to be reliable.
