Penile filler is a cosmetic injection that aims to increase girth, not length, using hyaluronic acid (HA) or longer-lasting polycaprolactone (PCL) based products. In Seoul it is offered by urology clinics, not women's hospitals. Yoonho Women's Hospital does not perform it; men should consult a urologist about suitability, risks and costs.

What types of penile filler are used?
| Type | Typical time | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronic acid (HA) | 30–45 minutes | About 12–18 months | Can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed |
| Polycaprolactone (PCL) based | Under 1 hour | Up to about 2–4 years | Stimulates collagen; harder to reverse |
Fillers increase girth only and do not change length or erectile function. Results vary and gradually fade as the material is absorbed.

- Injection Filler is injected under the skin of the shaft and molded for even distribution.
