Non-Surgical Penile Girth Enhancement in Chicago

Penile filler with hyaluronic acid is performed in a controlled medical setting by a board-certified surgeon. The substance itself is biocompatible, meaning your body already produces hyaluronic acid naturally. It has been used in facial aesthetics and reconstructive medicine for decades.

Dr. Marc Adajar, MD, FACS, performs every penile filler treatment at XPand MD™. He is a board-certified surgeon with over 20 years of experience who specializes exclusively in men. His practice covers the full scope of male body contouring, sexual wellness, and performance optimization, including surgical procedures, penile enhancement, and testosterone replacement therapy. He is board-certified by the American Board of Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and holds additional certification in anti-aging medicine. That means a surgeon trained and tested to operate in a hospital is doing your injection, not a technician who added it to a service menu. He has also completed specialized training and certification in male genital enhancement techniques, including penile filler injection, platelet-rich plasma therapy for penile rejuvenation (XPand Restore™), and scrotal neuromodulator therapy (XPand Smooth™). He has received the Patients' Choice Award for nine consecutive years.

The procedure uses topical numbing only. There is no general anesthesia, which eliminates the risks that come with sedation. Treatment happens in a private office setting at our River North location, not an operating room.

Common temporary side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site, which typically resolve within a few days. Less common risks include asymmetry, firm nodules, or uneven distribution, and these can be corrected by dissolving the filler. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified, experienced provider in a medical setting.

Provider expertise matters more than the filler itself. Penile girth enhancement requires precise, even distribution of filler across soft tissue with complex vascular anatomy. In untrained hands, uneven injection technique leads to lumps, asymmetry, or migration. The difference between a good result and a complication is almost always the provider. Patients should seek a board-certified surgeon who has completed dedicated training and certification in male genital enhancement and performs these procedures regularly, not a general injector who added it to a menu. Dr. Adajar holds specialized certifications in penile filler injection (XPand Girth™), platelet-rich plasma penile rejuvenation (XPand Restore), and scrotal neuromodulator therapy (XPand Smooth). This is a core part of his practice, not an occasional add-on.

The procedure works with your anatomy, not against it. Hyaluronic acid is a temporary, dissolvable substance placed in the subcutaneous layer, above the tissue, nerves, and blood supply of the shaft. Because nothing is cut and no tissue is removed, dissolving the filler returns you to your starting point. There is no scarring and no permanent structural change. The reversibility is what makes the procedure low-risk compared to surgical alternatives.

No procedure is risk-free. Individual results may vary based on anatomy, tissue response, and healing. A confidential consultation with Dr. Adajar covers your specific anatomy, goals, and any medical history that may affect candidacy. Every question gets a direct answer before you commit to anything.

Some situations require a closer look before moving forward. If you have been diagnosed with Peyronie's disease, which causes curvature from scar tissue inside the shaft, your case is more complex. It does not automatically rule you out, but it requires a detailed evaluation first.

If you are uncertain whether you fit the criteria, that is what the consultation is for. Dr. Adajar reviews your anatomy, health history, and goals to determine your specific candidacy. There is no obligation, and no pressure to schedule the same day.

The men who get the strongest results tend to be the ones who come in with clear, specific expectations. You are not trying to fix something broken. You are adding measurable size to an area where anatomy set a limit that effort alone cannot change.

We publish these numbers because you should have them before you walk in the door. Most clinics hide pricing behind a consultation wall, which makes comparison shopping harder and wastes your time.

Why the range exists. The number of syringes depends on two things: your starting anatomy and how much girth gain you want. A patient starting with a thinner shaft who wants a noticeable change will need more filler than someone starting with more baseline girth who wants a modest increase. Dr. Adajar determines the exact syringe count during your consultation after examining your anatomy.

What the cost covers. Your fee includes the FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler, topical numbing, the injection procedure, and your follow-up visit. There are no hidden facility fees or anesthesia charges. You are awake the entire time in a private treatment room.

All three offer applications you can complete before your consultation so you know your approval amount in advance.

Touch-up pricing. Follow-up sessions typically require fewer syringes than your first treatment, which lowers the per-visit cost. Most patients schedule a touch-up every 6 to 18 months depending on how their body metabolizes the filler.

The cost is real. But compare it to surgical alternatives that carry general anesthesia risks, weeks of downtime, and permanent results you cannot reverse if you are unhappy. Hyaluronic acid filler gives you a controlled, reversible option at a fraction of the surgical price. See our full pricing breakdown for all XPand services.
