Response to “Comments on ‘Nonsurgical Medical Penile Girth Augmentation: Experience-Based Recommendations’”

We thank Dr Solomon¹ for his interest in our article.² We agree that penile augmentation using injectable materials, including hyaluronic acid (HA), does have some disadvantages. HA fillers do slowly reabsorb over time and so are not a permanent solution. However, our in-progress research suggests that the nonpermanency of the procedure is potentially part of the appeal for at least some patients. These men consider a nonpermanent procedure on such an important part of their body, which they closely associate with their sense of masculinity, to be less daunting.
