Is penile filler dangerous? The real risks, and what we do to reduce them
Penile filler carries risk, like any procedure: from bruising that settles on its own to a blocked blood vessel, which is rare but serious. We do not tell you there is no risk. We tell you what we do to reduce it, and how we are ready to correct it if it happens.
