Emer notes that these incidents are becoming more common as men seek out this cosmetic treatment to enlarge the appearance of their penis. He offers the procedure himself and has been administering it since 2007, emphasizing its delicate nature and the importance of expertise. As the popularity of penis filler grows, more men are seeking it from unqualified providers, leading to many suffering horrifying complications in silence.
Chris Bustamante, an aesthetic nurse practitioner and founder of Lushful Aesthetics, echoes Emer’s concerns. He points out that many patients have undergone unsafe procedures outside the U.S. or with providers who only dabble in the practice.
Emer believes very few providers have truly mastered penis filler. When complications arise, it is often because a less-experienced provider was chosen for cheaper costs. Bustamante also notes that many with complications received their treatment from unqualified providers in other countries.
For those seeking corrections, Emer sees patients about three-to-five times a day, with over half coming to him for past treatments. One man detailed his experience of being left deformed after receiving filler from non-qualified providers and how it took years to correct the issue.
Bustamante suggests that it is crucial to see an experienced provider who takes a long-term approach to this procedure. Emer agrees, stating that minimal experience is insufficient for such delicate work, as clients may return with issues 10 years later.
The men coming to Emer now often seek penis filler for self-confidence rather than medical reasons. However, despite growing popularity, stigma persists. Some patients, like Sean Lathe, are open about their experiences and wish more men felt the same way. Others, like one of Bustamante’s patients, prefer to return to normal after undergoing corrective treatments.
In conclusion, while penis filler has gained traction as a cosmetic option, it is essential for individuals considering this procedure to seek out experienced providers who understand the anatomy involved to avoid severe complications and lasting trauma.
