There is no safe and effective standard method for glans penis augmentation. Furthermore, there has been scant research on glans penis augmentation due to a poor understanding of glans anatomy, technical difficulty, and a lack of suitable substances for augmentation. Cross?linked dextran gel is a newly developed filler for soft?tissue augmentation. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of using a novel technique to inject cross?linked dextran gel for glans penis augmentation during a 24?week follow?up study. This prospective, single?arm, multicenter study enrolled twenty healthy adult men who underwent glans penis augmentation between June and August 2013. Cross?linked dextran gel was injected into the glans penis using a simple and easy technique. The sizes of the glans penis and individual satisfaction were assessed. Any adverse event was also reported. A total of 18 individuals were analyzed; two of them were lost to follow?up. The mean procedure time and injected volume were about 30 min and 6.6 ± 0.9 ml, respectively. The mean surface areas of the glans at baseline and 24 weeks were 20.0 ± 3.5 cm2and 33.6 ± 5.4 cm2, respectively, representing a mean increase of 68.7% ± 14.0% (P < 0.001). Sixteen individuals (88.9%) were satisfied with the outcomes, and none were dissatisfied. There were no serious adverse events during the study. Cross?linked dextran gel injection for glans penis augmentation was easy and showed a significant augmentative effect on the glans penis, good durability, and was well tolerated without serious adverse events. Therefore, cross?linked dextran gel injection may be an effective, new technique for glans penis augmentation.
