TOPIC: Had HA with Phallofill for first time, May have some issues not sure

Hello, I am 25 and I just had my first HA filler with PhalloFILL today. I had it with Dr. Jonathan Clavell in Houston, TX. I had 4 mL added to my penis. I noticed around 30 to 60 minutes some cooling sensations in my left testicle. I also noticed the cooling sensation in my right testicle later on but not as much. Is this a normal feeling after having HA filler added? Or was I feeling the filler leaking into my testicles? I am wearing a sleeve and cup for recovery if that affects things. I also just now noticed that my Foreskin is swollen, is this the HA filler going into my Foreskin? Or is this a side effect of wearing a sleeve? Not sure. Also my girlfriend was angry at me for getting the procedure done, she was throwing things at me, then she was crying, but then she softened up eventually and kissed me and let me finger her. Anyway else have these issues with their girlfriend or wife too? So yeah, what can I do to prevent the filler from going into my Foreskin? I tried pushing it down out of my Foreskin and it seemed to help a little not sure. What to do? Is the cooling sensations in my testicles bad? What causes that sensation?

A few things -- I can't rule out anything about the cooling sensation, but it doesn't strike me as alarming. The "cooling" strikes me as probably some mild nerve irritation from the swelling or inflammation, and even psychosomatic or nocebo effects could be in play (this is more common with younger patients I've noticed in the past).

I don't suspect migration near the testicles to be frank. You mentioned foreskin, and personally I'm not a fan of advising uncircumscribed men get these injections (as in: for aesthetic reasons, not because of serious complications; I should note that not all uncut guys are going to deal with aesthetic issues by virtue of being uncircumcised, but that they have a higher propensity for aesthetic irregularities nonetheless), but I don't think there is anything glaring or problematic from what you've described.

If you have pictures, that would be helpful.

That all said, I'm not an armchair diagnostic but instead a Patient Advocate (as in: I'm very familiar with these kinds of situations and can help point patients in the right direction, but very limited in terms of how authoritatively I can speak on matters that might require a medical evaluation) - so it would be best to continue monitoring the situation to look for any worsening of symptoms and/or the onset of any new ones. As always, to help put your mind at ease you can (and should) reach out to your Provider as well so that they can both advise, and make note of it going forward.

You sound like your freshly post-op, and if that's true, you're still in the recovery stage experiencing something very new. Patience is your best friend now.

As for the separate topic involving your girlfriend, there's a lot to unpack but I'll try to keep it short and simple (by my standards lol). For starters, you're a young guy (respectfully), and in my years moderating this subject, I've found that I can no longer recommend these procedures to men under 30, with rare exceptions. That isn't to say you don't have valid justifications for pursuing injectable phalloplasty, and if you were going to pick any filler, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) would be the only sensible option frankly.

I bring up your youth to assume that your girlfriend is in the same ballpark age-wise(?). This can come as a major decision (and rightfully so, because it is), and you having made one that can potentially affect the relationship without consulting her beforehand, can seem at best as "a failed surprise gift" and at worst "pre-meditated deception." In other words, a meaningful relationship can't work without effective communication, and at your ages (again assuming she's around your age) this can be even more disturbing for her. Why? Well that's because most people in their mid-20's are still learning how to adequately, appropriately, and effectively talk to and trust one another in a romantic relationship, and this is certainly out-of-left-field for her. This explains the unleashing of emotions, and it will continue to weigh on her even though it appears on the surface that there was some making-up.

Furthermore, for some women, this can be seen as a very threatening behavior that you may misread as jealousy, but that would not be taking accountability and would miss the bigger picture. Not suggesting this applies to her, but worth taking into consideration: many men cite enlarging their penis to improve both confidence and their sexual prowess; she may see this as a threat to the relationship because it will make her question your motivations, especially given that you kept this decision from her in the first place (i.e. secretive or sneaky behavior)... "does he want to be a player?" -or- "he was perfectly fine in bed, is there someone else he wants to please or impress?" -or- "he's going to have an even bigger ego now," and so on. It would sound like jealousy if it weren't for the fact that you did all this behind her back to begin with... so in fairness, I can't accuse her of jealousy if this was a big reason why she got very upset... and this could make for a good life-lesson in how to navigate major life decisions with what could end up being life partners... a learning opportunity even if this explanation was not at the core of her anger.

I am relying on your point-of-view (there are always two parts to a story), so my explanations should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm just trying to provide you both reasonable & plausible explanations, and things you should consider for yourself as a young man. I also won't pretend to know how women think, act, or behave in general but I do feel like I've read and seen enough of these instances to have drawn some objectively reasonable explanations for some of the instances reported, not all (obviously, because I'm not a woman )

As an aside, I would caution you not to tolerate physical violence from a partner, don't fall into the trap of thinking "she can't hurt me, I'm a man," or "it's cute" type nonsense. Tolerating it early on means she can and will push the boundaries, and you don't want to be in a place or state-of-mind that you snap when things go too far (not suggesting you would hit a woman, but you're also human and abuse can take a toll on both men and women alike). Also, her reaction of resorting to a physical response either tells me she's genuinely pissed and this will not be the end of it (so this could indeed be a one-off, but one that should be telling about how she feels) -or- she's grown up around domestic abuse and sees nothing wrong as using violence or physicality as her "love language,"... that in of itself is a red flag.

Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your reply skeptical. The Foreskin was even more swollen today than yesterday but i was able to push it down and reduce its swollenness. Yes i had the procedure done yesterday Dr. Clavell injected 4 mL. I had my girlfriend over today we had a really great time with one another today, and she is actually excited for the next fill now, she wants to be there when the doctor adds more filler next time to watch,

So yeah I realized my initial post was lacking in detail. I paid for the 10 mL package with PhalloFILL. So Doctor Clavell said he can add 4 more mL in a month. I had it done for first time yesterday. I was reading another user on this forum's posts. I was trying to find the user but I couldn't find the user or the post. He said he had filler migration into his Foreskin after getting filler from Dr. Chayut in Thailand, his solution for subsequent filler visits was to make his own penis wrap with ace wraps and tubigrip to prevent the filler from moving. He had success with making his own wrap. I was thinking maybe on my next visit with Dr. Clavell maybe I could bring my own ace wrap and tubigrip and talk to the doctor about doing my own wrap to prevent filler migration to Foreskin and prevent the Foreskin from getting swollen.

For context my penis was around 6.5 inches Erect length maybe 6.75 inches Erect length bone pressed before this procedure. and It measured at 5.5 inches Erect Girth yestreday the morning before i got the procedure done. i have been penis pumping for 2 years, my Girth was actually 4.5 inches Erect Girth 2 years ago. so yes penis pumping already added Girth naturally. and when i saw the doctor yesterday he said i already have a big penis and that i dont need it. i asked dr. clavell if he had filler, and he said no cuz his wife said he doesnt need it lol. so i estimate hopefully ill gain around a half Inch of Girth from this HA filler when all of the filler i paid for is added.

Another concern, my girlfriend has a very tight vagina, is it possible that her vagina could push the filler out of my Dick? The doctor said it will be ok to resume sex one week after the operation. My girlfriend really wanted me today but we couldn't cuz of the filler that was just added yesterday lol.

So yeah I felt nervous about the whole thing but it's something i wanted for 2 years. However if I'm unable to find a way to prevent Foreskin swelling up on my second visit then I don't think I'll do the procedure again if I can't find a way to prevent my Foreskin from swelling. Plus it's also costly lol.

I hope that I can maintain the results and even gain more Girth after the HA filler naturally by using my Penis Pump. Do you think I can continue to gain even more Girth with my Penis Pump naturally and thus not lose any Girth even as the HA filler goes away over time? I have already been penis pumping for 2 years. How long to wait after the procedure until I can Penis Pump again? And I have a tattoo on the shaft of my Dick, Dr. Clavell thought the tattoo was cool and said he was surprised I was able to withstand the pain of getting a tattoo on my Dick lol.

i had her over today and i measured her wrist i realized her wrist is only 4.9 inches thickness. my penis before the procedure was 5.5 inches Girth. i didn't realize my penis was already thicker than her wrist before i even did the procedure. i am sitting at around 6.25 to 6.5 Erect Girth right now with the sleeve on. altho i know with only 4ml added that is probaby just a lot of swelling too.

hello today is the third day since the procedure my foreskin is still swollen what do i do? the official phallofill instructions say to let them know if it swollen so they can get me a new sleeve. Can Phallofill @PhalloFILL comment?

It's been 4 days since my procedure and my Foreskin is still swollen. Doctor said on email to try to push the swollen Foreskin back into the sleeve. He said if it won't stay in sleeve I can take sleeve off but to massage the Foreskin and massage the filler to prevent migration of the filler into the tip of the penis. Any advice on how to massage my penis properly for this?

What should I know about having sexual intercourse now after the procedure? Am planning to have it on 8 days after the procedure.

You need to be getting your post procedure advice on how to take care of your results and any possible complications from your provider not a public forum. This forum is not made for advice like that. And I’m almost certain that your instructions tell you to avoid sex for 10 days … so it seems you aren’t following the advice you were given by your provider.

Provider said one week is fine.

I emailed him last night but he hasn't replied yet

Call his office and let them know you are having issues. Emails get missed.

I'm nervous to call his office because all of the office people that work there are women. I only want to speak to men.

He said he has been emailing back and forth with you all weekend and he was trying to get you into the clinic. You didn’t elude to me or on the forum that he had acknowledged your emails.

Is that true?

Yes I have been emailing the doctor and i sent him pictures of the penis he said to take off the bell cup and see if that reduces the swelling so I will try. Right now, i have taken off the bell cup and just using the penis sleeve will see if that helps. Anything I should keep in mind or any advice? Should I still proceed with getting a second round of filler a month from now as planned? Or is this swollen Foreskin issue super bad and I should avoid?, not sure.
