What types of penis filler are there?
A general comparison. Your urologist recommends a method after examining you.
| Material | What it is | How long it lasts | Points to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronic-acid (HA) gel | An injectable gel similar to facial fillers | Temporary; absorbed by the body over time | May need repeat treatment; can shift or feel uneven if poorly placed |
| Allograft dermis (graft) | Processed donor skin tissue, cells removed, freeze-dried and sterilized | Designed to engraft over about 3–6 months | Placed surgically through a small incision; may feel firm while engrafting |
| Dermis powder (glans) | Finely processed dermis placed under the glans skin | Varies by person | Technique-sensitive; done by the urologist |
| Own fat (micro-fat) | Fat taken from your abdomen and transferred | Part is absorbed | A top-up may be needed |
| Silicone, paraffin, 'vaseline' | Unlicensed substances injected by non-doctors | Do not dissolve | Can cause lumps, infection and deformity; often needs surgery to remove |
How does HIGHST Urology Clinic use filler and dermis?
Every treatment is planned and performed by a board-certified urologist.
Allograft dermis
For girth, urologists place shaped donor dermis (a MegaDerm-type graft) as part of 5S combined surgery, with volume planned to avoid ridges.

Dermis powder or gel filler is placed under the glans skin. It is technique-sensitive, so the urologist performs it.

Men with problems from earlier injections can be examined in person to discuss dermis or fat grafting options.

Ask these questions before anything is injected.
- Is the treatment done by a licensed doctor, ideally a urologist?
- What exactly is the material, and is it approved for medical use?
- Is it absorbable, permanent or a graft that engrafts?
- Will I be examined in person before the decision?
- Who handles follow-up if there is swelling, lumps or infection?
- Do I receive a written, itemized quote before treatment?
- Can I communicate clearly in English throughout?
Frequently asked questions
Is penis filler permanent?
It depends on the material. Hyaluronic-acid gels are temporary and are absorbed over time, so results fade. Allograft dermis is designed to engraft into your tissue over about 3–6 months, giving a longer-lasting result. With your own fat, part is absorbed and a top-up may be needed. Your urologist explains what to expect for you.
Is penis filler the same as enlargement surgery?
Not exactly. A simple gel injection is less invasive but temporary. At HIGHST Urology Clinic, lasting girth is achieved by placing allograft dermis through a small incision under local anesthesia, often as part of 5S combined surgery. Glans enlargement uses dermis powder or gel filler. Your urologist explains which suits your goals.
What happens if filler was injected badly elsewhere?
Lumps, unevenness, swelling or infection after an injection should be examined by a urologist. Unlicensed substances such as silicone or paraffin do not dissolve and often need surgical removal. At HIGHST Urology Clinic, revision patients are examined in person first, and dermis or fat grafting may then be discussed.
Does glans filler affect sensation?
Glans enlargement places dermis powder or gel filler under the skin of the glans, not into the nerves. Some men notice the glans feels different while it settles. Experiences vary, and the procedure is technique-sensitive, which is why the urologist performs it. Discuss sensitivity concerns, including premature ejaculation, at your consultation.
Is the dermis material safe?
The dermis is processed donor tissue: cells are removed and it is freeze-dried and E-beam sterilized. The clinic states it uses KFDA-approved material. Like any graft, it can have risks such as swelling or infection, and it may feel firm while it engrafts. Your urologist explains risks and follow-up before treatment.
How much does penis filler cost in Korea?
Costs vary by clinic, the material, the amount used and whether surgery is involved, so a fixed price online is not reliable. HIGHST Urology Clinic gives an itemized quote after an examination. Elective enhancement is not covered by insurance. Foreign patients pay directly by card or cash, without needing Korean insurance or ID.
