At the Shafer Clinic for plastic surgery in NYC, we are proud to offer a non-surgical alternative to penile girth surgery. Modern technology with dermal fillers has allowed a breakthrough in penis augmentation. The same dermal fillers that are FDA approved to enhance cheeks and lips are injected into the penile shaft and glans (head) for an enlargement to penis circumference. The Shafer Width and Girth or S.W.A.G. procedure performed by Dr. Shafer can significantly increase penis girth and moderately increase penis length during a short treatment conducted discreetly in one of our clinic’s private suites.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work for Penile Girth Augmentation?
The treatment involves the strategic injection of premium dermal fillers into penile tissue. Due to their reversibility and biocompatibility, the brands of filler that are most used for the procedure add volume with synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance found naturally in skin and connective tissue. The same dermal fillers used for years to temporarily restore lost facial volume with safe and reliable results have been found to be highly effective as a non-surgical alternative for penis enlargement.
What Are the Benefits of Penile Girth Injections?
Studies show that an increase in penile girth is the most desirable form of enhancement in terms of appearance and intimate relations. During the procedure Dr. Shafer utilizes specialized injection techniques to ensure a balanced result that harmonizes with your body’s proportions while offering the following benefits:
- Immediate results – Noticeable enlargement before leaving your appointment with final outcomes visible within 1-2 weeks.
- Non-surgical approach – The procedure is minimally invasive and offers improvement without the recovery, risks or expense associated with girth enhancement surgery.
- Customizable Results – The procedure is tailored to your specific desires and anatomical needs.
- Temporary and reversible – The use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers allows you to modify or reverse your results as desired.
Consultation and Candidates for Penile Girth Enhancement
A treatment consultation and physical exam with Dr. Shafer will ensure your safety and determine recommendations for the amount and type of filler best suited to achieve your outcome goals. Ideal candidates for penis enhancement with dermal fillers include adult men free of significant general or penile health issues. The S.W.A.G. procedure is best suited for individuals seeking to increase the circumference of their penis, who understand that maintenance treatments will eventually be needed to sustain results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Dr. Shafer’s S.W.A.G enlargement procedure is performed after you are made comfortable with a topical and local anesthetic. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and in most cases the doctor can inject the filler through a tiny hollow surgical tube called a microcannula. Administering the filler with this method requires just two injection sites and allows for less bruising and enhanced safety over multiple needle injections.
Penile Filler Injections: Recovery and Results
Other than avoiding sexual activity for the first 48 hours after treatment, there is no downtime during the recovery period following penis augmentation with filler injections. You can expect mild to moderate temporary swelling and although less than with needle injections, some mild bruising can still occur with the microcannula.
You will immediately experience a noticeable size increase with the full results becoming evident after one to two weeks, individual results will vary depending on existing anatomy. The duration of your results is influenced by the amount and type of product used and the rate at which your body metabolizes the filler, however, the results have been shown to be long-lasting, ranging anywhere from 12 to 24 months.
What is the Cost of Penis Filler Treatments?
The most popular and long-lasting hyaluronic acid filler for penis enlargement is Volux, a premium HA formulation from the Juvéderm collection. While facial filler treatments use one to three syringes, penile enlargement requires five to fifteen syringes. Therefore, we can offer bulk discounts on the price per syringe when performing penis enlargement with Volux, Voluma XC, Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC and Radiesse.
Base treatment starts with five syringes of the chosen filler – see prices below. Patients can choose to add extra syringes on the same day of treatment at a significant discount.

*Bellafill requires a skin test 2 weeks prior to treatment.
*Tiered pricing honored for 3 months after initial treatment.
*Dr. Shafer does not recommend bellafill as your first treatment as it’s not reversible.
This is a very common procedure at our office. Please feel comfortable reaching out to our staff by phone or email to discuss details regarding this procedure.
- *We are now offering special IV anesthesia/sedation for the procedure for a special price of $1200. While anesthesia/sedation is not necessary, that option is available to anxious or nervous patients*
- *Prices are based on same-day penile enhancement treatment. These prices do not apply to face injections.*
- *Dr. Shafer does not recommend Radiesse for penis enlargement as there is a higher risk of lumpiness and it is not reversible like the hyaluronic acid products.*
- *Some patients find that after the SWAG treatment, that even Magnum condoms are not large enough. Here is a link to special order larger condoms. This company is not affiliated with Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue, but patients have found their products helpful.*
SWAG Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Treatment details:
- Q. Which product lasts the longest for penis enhancement?
A. Juvederm Voluma XC is the longest lasting reversible product. This is Dr. Shafer’s favorite product to inject for patients as it’s the thickest of the injectable gels and lasts the longest.
- Q. What’s the difference between the products?
A. Injectable products are made of several different products. The hyaluronic acid fillers such as Voluma, Juvederm and Vollure are nice in that they are reversible which gives them the best safety profile. The hyaluronic acid products differ in how long they last and how thick they are. Voluma is the thickest product and lasts the longest. Volbella, which is not recommended for SWAG by Dr. Shafer is the thinnest and lasts the shortest. This product is best for lip augmentation.
- Q. Do I need to be circumcised?
A. You do not need to be circumcised. We treat both circumcised and uncircumcised patients.
- Q. What if I decide that I want Bellafill? What is the process?
A. Bellafill is a non-hyaluronic acid product made of PMMA and collagen. It requires skin testing prior to treatment, so the treatment cannot be performed the same day as the consultation. An advantage of Bellafill is it lasts longer, but it is not reversible if you decide you don’t want it.
Dr. Shafer’s credentials:
- Q. How many do you do a week and how long have you been doing this?
A. Dr. Shafer performs 5 to 10 SWAG procedures per week. About 50% of our patients are from out of town and have traveled as far as Australia, China, and Dubai to have Dr Shafer perform the SWAG procedure.
Cost:
- Q. What is the average amount of syringes?
A. While most patients start with 10 syringes ($9500) we can do as much as 20 syringes per treatment. With more syringes the prices are proportionally discounted.
- Q. What does the small first, medium second, large third mean?
A. This is a classification to help determine number of syringes required for the procedure. Men of average size typically start with 10 syringes. Smaller patients may start with only 5, but that is rare. Men who are already larger may do up to 20 or more syringes at a time.
- Q. What is cost for 12 syringes for first time patients?
A. The first 5 syringes are $5000. Every set of 5 syringes is an additional $4500 or $900 per syringes. So if you do 12 syringes it would be $5000 + $4500 + 1600.
We Honor the “add-on” pricing for a group of 5 syringes for up to 2 months after your initial procedure.
Scheduling:
- Q. How far out do I have to schedule?
A. You can work with one of our coordinators to help find an appointment time that works with your schedule. Generally we can do the consult and the procedure the same day as your appointment.
- Q. Can I fly in and out the same day?
A. Yes, many patients fly in the morning and fly home in the afternoon. The consult and procedure take approximately 1 hour total.
- Q. Is there time at consult for treatment?
A. Yes, generally, if you choose to more forward, the procedure can be performed the same day.
- Q. How long does the appointment take from start to finish?
A. Generally the consult and procedure takes 1 hour total.
After care:
- Q. How long do I need to wait before intimacy or exercise?
A. We generally recommend one week.
- Q. What is the post-care after this treatment?
A. Dr. Shafer encourages massage of the area where the product is settling. You will be instructed in this at your appointment.
Local patients go right back to work after the procedure.
Side effects:
- Q. Any side effects that I should be worried about?
A. Swelling and possible bruising are the most common, and usually resolve within a week if they occur. We give you a sulumedrol steroid pack which can help the swelling go down faster.
- Q. Are there any side effects related to loss of sensitivity, erection, or semen quality affecting pregnancy?
A. The vast majority of patients report either the same sensitivity or enhanced sensitivity and enhanced / thicker erections. We have no studies on semen quality. If you have pre-existing issues such as erectile dysfunction, this is not a treatment for that.
- Q. How similar does the filler feel to an actual penis? Would it be obvious?
A. Most patients describe the effect as if their penis gained weight. So imagine a thicker / fatter / heavier penis.
- Q. And what are the chances of the filler being lumpy in my penis?
A. While the filler is injected with a long cannula to achieve the smoothest result, the filler can settle differently in different patients. That is why we encourage massage to help keep it even as it is settling. In about 10% of patients, they return after a month for a tweak here or there to help improve symmetry with a few syringes. Some patients do require melting or softening with a special enzyme to help achieve the best symmetry. About 20% of patients return after a month just want more filler. They like the effect so much but want to have even more enhancement.
Most patients return annually to top off the filler to maintain the results.
- Q. When will I notice results?
A. You will notice results immediately, but the filler does expand and you will see the final results at about 2 weeks.

- 20 Questions With a Guy Who Got the SWAG Procedure to Enlarge His Penis
Penis size doesn’t matter, despite what society has led you to believe about the link between your masculinity and the size of your dick (or whether you have a dick to begin with). It’s all BS. But these cultural ideas can be tough to shake, which is why plenty of penis-owners still are still curious about ways to increase their length and girth.
For the most part, the existing methods of penis enlargement are under-researched and potentially dangerous. Save for losing weight or shaving your pubes to make your junk look bigger in relation to the rest of your body, we don’t endorse any of them. We’re guessing most people aren’t racing to put their, ah, most valuable “member” under the knife for the sake of a few extra inches, either.
- How Did Women Become So Obsessed With the Bulge?
Not too long ago, while texting a prospective Tinder date, she requested I send a picture of my bulge. “You mean my dick?” I asked inquisitively, surprised a dick pic was actually something she wanted to see. “No, your bulge,” she replied. “Like, through track pants or something.” She then offhandedly mentioned that if said pants were gray, the image would be even hotter. So, I did what any man in my situation would have done and obliged her request.
In my cotton gray track pants, I grabbed my dick and balls at the base, lifted them (for effect), and presented my veiled genitals to the smartphone lens. It was the first time a dirty image had been requested prior to a date, and the picture wasn’t even of my actual dick. This idea intrigued me.
- Does A Man’s Penis Get Smaller As He Gets Older?
It’s possible he’s imagining it. But it’s possible it’s really happening. He may be Googling things like “Does your penis get smaller as you age?” or “Is my penis shrinking?” but is struggling with the truth. Because, yes, penises can decrease in size as men age.
“Penis size can shrink with age just as the rest of the body tends to deflate as the cells mature and the fat atrophies,” says plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer.
- How To Make Your Penis Bigger
Penis size and length is a sensitive topic for guys. Many men are self-conscious about the size of their penis.
“A new frontier is using dermal fillers (typically used to enhance lips or cheeks) to increase the girth of the penis. The most popular filler is Juvederm Voluma which is made of a naturally occurring molecule, HA, found in the skin. Juvederm Voluma from Allergan is an HA gel which is typically injected into face wrinkles to smooth the skin, into cheeks to lift the face and into the lips to add shape and contour. When injected under the skin of the penis shaft, Voluma can add considerable width or girth to the penis in a quick office appointment,” says plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer.
- Getting the Guys
David Shafer, MD, of Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue in New York says about 30% of his current aesthetic patients are men. He focuses on social media for his external marketing efforts. “We use Instagram to show that men are having these procedures too,” he says. “There are also opportunities to bring in more males from our existing patient population by promoting services for men in-house.”
