Ultrasound for injected substances

Penile ultrasound for injected substances: not sure what was injected? Start here

Many men do not know what they were injected with. High-resolution ultrasound shows whether it is HA filler, silicone or oil, where it sits and how far it spreads. Painless and quick, and you know before deciding on repair or more filler.
