*The first human adipose tissue transfer was attempted by Neuber in 1893. 


*Then, in 1959 Sahwney et al. described the use of dermal grafts for penile girth enhancement (Figure 1). 


*The use of an allograft dermal matrix graft (AlloDerm®) for penile girth procedures was introduced in 2004. Reported complications include: infection, fibrosis, and skin loss


*Concurrently in 2004, the silicone penile implant known as Penuma® (now termed HimplantTM) was developed by Dr. James Elist in an effort to increase flaccid penile length and girth. In 2018, it became the first FDA-approved penile enlargement implant. Since then, thousands of patients have undergone implant placement and reported complications include device erosion, flaring, infection, fibrosis, and seroma formation


*Penile injections offer a less invasive approach to penile girth enhancement. Human fat injections were first described by Dimitrije E. Panfilov in 1996. 


*Since its first description in the 1940s, silicone penile injections have been performed with accounts of severely disfiguring granulomatous reactions. 


*In 2005, Kim et. al. reported the use of hyaluronic acid fillers for glans penis augmentation in 187 men. 


*By 2015, Dr. Paul Perito introduced the use of hyaluronic acid fillers (UrofillTM) for penile enhancement in 121 men with 71.4% patient satisfaction and low complication rates.
