The questions men only ask Google — answered by the doctor

A trademarked, non-surgical girth enhancement technique developed by Dr. Daniel Francis: hyaluronic acid dermal filler placed beneath the skin of the shaft with a blunt microcannula, then sculpted by hand for evenness. No incisions, no stitches, no general anesthesia — about 30 minutes in-office.

HA is a gel your body already produces. Placed evenly in the layer between the skin and the erectile bodies, it adds circumference in both flaccid and erect states. The microcannula technique means one small entry point per side rather than repeated needle sticks.

FDA-cleared hyaluronic acid fillers from established manufacturers, the same class used across aesthetic medicine for decades. Critically, HA is dissolvable: if a result ever needed adjusting or removing, an enzyme (hyaluronidase) breaks it down.

The fillers are FDA-cleared products, but no filler is specifically approved for penile augmentation — this is off-label use: legal, common, and appropriate with clinical judgment. We tell you this plainly; be suspicious of any provider who implies otherwise.

Every consultation and every procedure is personally performed by Dr. Daniel Francis, the physician who developed the technique. No rotating injectors, no delegation.

No. Filler adds girth, not length — and any provider promising lasting length from an injection is someone to walk away from.

It depends on your anatomy and the volume placed. Tiers range from 8ml to 20ml; larger volumes produce larger changes. At your consult, Dr. Francis measures, discusses goals, and tells you honestly what a given volume can do for your anatomy. Results vary; no outcome can be guaranteed.

The tiers reflect filler volume: 8, 10, 15, and 20ml. Which is right for you is a clinical recommendation — and if a smaller (less expensive) tier is the right medical answer, that's the recommendation you'll get.

Far less than every patient expects. Topical anesthetic plus a local block first; most patients describe pressure and odd fullness rather than pain. Discomfort afterward is typically mild and short-lived.

Most patients return to work the same or next day. Expect swelling and possibly mild bruising or tenderness for several days to two weeks, with simple aftercare and brief daily shaping guidance.

Typically about two weeks. The waiting period lets the filler integrate evenly and protects your result.

Light activity within a day or two; strenuous exercise, cycling, and direct friction or pressure should wait roughly one to two weeks.

In clothing, no — no cast, dressing, or visible sign. A well-executed result looks natural: proportionally larger, not obviously altered.

HA in this area typically lasts far longer than in the face — commonly up to 24 months, extendable indefinitely with maintenance sessions. Longevity varies by metabolism and volume.

Properly sculpted HA softens and integrates over the first few weeks until it feels like you, only fuller. Evenness of placement is the difference between natural and lumpy — which is why technique matters more than product.

The result is adjustable and reversible. Minor unevenness can usually be massaged or touched up; the filler can be dissolved entirely with hyaluronidase. You are not making a permanent, irreversible decision.

Yes — many patients start moderate and add at a later session. Dr. Francis often recommends staging for first-time patients.

Yes — a consented clinical library reviewed privately during your consultation. Out of respect for patient privacy and platform rules, we don't publish this imagery online. Photos are examples, not guarantees.

Common and temporary: swelling, bruising, tenderness, temporary unevenness. Uncommon: nodules (usually manageable), infection (rare in a sterile setting), asymmetry requiring adjustment. No procedure is risk-free; your consult includes a frank risk discussion.

Migration is primarily a function of technique and aftercare. Even placement and the aftercare protocol minimize it — and if an area settles unevenly, it can be corrected: massaged, touched up, or dissolved.

The filler sits above the erectile bodies and away from the urethra — it doesn't interfere with erections, urination, or ejaculation. Temporary swelling can alter sensation briefly; lasting changes aren't an expected outcome of proper technique.

Active genital infections or certain skin conditions, uncontrolled diabetes or immune compromise, bleeding disorders or certain blood thinners, HA allergy — and men whose expectations don't match what the procedure delivers. Dr. Francis declines to treat when it won't make the patient happier.

You leave with direct contact instructions, and Dr. Francis personally follows up after your procedure. No call centers.

Published openly: Large (8ml) $4,990; XL (10ml) $5,990; 2XL (15ml) $8,900; 3XL (20ml) $9,900. No hidden facility or anesthesia fees.

Yes — through Cherry and CareCredit. Approval takes minutes and most approved patients pay monthly. Details at your consult or via the pricing page.

Yes — free, private, one-on-one with Dr. Francis: goals, exam, honest recommendation (including 'no'), example results, exact pricing. Charges applicable to any treatment are disclosed before you commit to anything.

Often yes — useful for patients traveling or preferring one discreet visit. But there is never pressure to decide in the room.

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for several days beforehand — never stop prescribed medication without talking to us and your prescriber. Groom the area, eat normally, plan a low-key day.

Two South Jersey offices: Gibbsboro (about 25 minutes from Center City Philadelphia) and Cape May Court House. Patients regularly travel from Philadelphia, North Jersey, Delaware, and New York.

No one, unless you tell them. HIPAA-protected records, discreet unmarked communications, non-descriptive billing, and no marketing use of your information without explicit written consent.

Completely. ThickRx operates separately from our aesthetics practice; consults are scheduled to minimize waiting-room time and can begin with a private phone or video call.

It's universal — nearly every patient says the hardest part was the first call. From the other side of it: this is a routine appointment with a physician who has this conversation every day. The anxiety is the biggest part of the procedure, and it's the part that ends first.
