One of the most common questions asked by patients considering glans penis fillers for premature ejaculation is the longevity of the procedure. This article details the longevity of glans penis fillers and the factors that influence it.
Factors Determining Filler Longevity
Filler materials injected into the glans penis are generally hyaluronic acid-based, which is also naturally found in the body. The average longevity of these fillers is between 12 and 18 months. The main factors affecting longevity are as follows:
- Quality and Density of the Filler Used: High cross-linked quality fillers specifically developed for urological applications are preferred. These fillers remain in the tissue for a longer period.
- Metabolic Rate: The rate at which the body dissolves the filler varies from person to person. The filler may dissolve slightly faster in athletes and individuals with a high metabolic rate.
- Repeated Applications: In second and third applications performed before the filler completely dissolves, the longevity increases significantly, and the effect becomes more permanent.
What Happens After the Filler Dissolves?
The filler substance is safely absorbed and eliminated by the body. During this process, no damage or marks are left on the penile tissue. Patients can safely repeat the procedure if they wish. Clinical observations show that even after the filler dissolves, the sensory threshold in the glans penis changes slightly, and ejaculatory control can be permanently learned.
