Men who undergo penis enlargement with fillers sometimes choose removal later — whether due to uneven results, switching filler types, or personal preference.
The two main removal methods are:
Dissolving with hyaluronidase (for HA fillers)
Surgical removal (for PMMA or semi-permanent fillers)
Both are available in Bangkok, but they differ significantly in safety, recovery, and results. This guide compares penis filler dissolving vs surgical removal to help men understand which option is safer.
Penis Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase)
How it works:
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers.
Injection is quick, effective, and minimally invasive.
Benefits:
Works within 24–48 hours
Minimal downtime (resume activities next day)
Very safe when performed by trained doctors
Fully reversible results
Natural tissue unaffected
Limitations:
Only works on HA fillers (temporary type)
Requires allergy test in rare cases
Best for men who want:
A fast, safe, and reversible option
Correction of asymmetry or overfilling
A discreet, non-surgical solution
Surgical Removal of Penis Fillers
How it works:
Surgical excision is required for semi-permanent fillers like PMMA or Ellansé.
A surgeon removes the filler material and repairs the tissue.
Benefits:
Only way to remove non-HA fillers
Can permanently resolve complications
Sometimes combined with reconstruction for smoother results
Limitations:
Invasive, with 2–4 weeks recovery
Higher risks (infection, scarring, uneven healing)
More expensive than dissolving
Irreversible — once filler is removed, volume is lost permanently
Best for men who want:
Removal of PMMA, Ellansé, or other permanent fillers
Long-term correction of complications
Willing to accept surgical risks for full removal
Dissolving vs Surgery: Side-by-Side Comparison
Feature | Dissolving (Hyaluronidase) | Surgical Removal |
Works On | HA fillers only | PMMA, Ellansé, semi-permanent fillers |
Procedure | Enzyme injection, 30 mins | Surgery under anesthesia, 1–2 hrs |
Results | Filler gone in 24–48 hrs | Permanent removal |
Recovery | 1–2 days | 2–4 weeks |
Risks | Mild swelling, rare allergic reaction | Infection, scarring, uneven results |
Which Is Safer?
Dissolving (Hyaluronidase):
Safest option when dealing with HA fillers
Non-surgical, low risk, minimal downtime
Reversible and precise correction possible
Surgery:
Riskier due to anesthesia, scarring, and infection
Only option for semi-permanent fillers
Should only be done by highly experienced surgeons
In Bangkok, dissolving with hyaluronidase is considered far safer than surgery — but it only applies to HA fillers.
FAQs
1. Can all penis fillers be dissolved?
No. Only HA fillers can be dissolved. Permanent fillers need surgery.
2. Is hyaluronidase safe?
Yes, extremely safe. Rare allergy testing may be done.
3. Does surgical removal leave scars?
Small scars are possible, but experienced surgeons minimize them.
4. Which is more discreet?
Dissolving — no scars, quick recovery, minimal downtime.
5. Which lasts longer?
Surgery is permanent. Dissolving reverses HA but filler can be re-injected later if desired.
Key Takeaways
Dissolving with hyaluronidase is the safest option for HA fillers — quick, reversible, and discreet.
Surgical removal is necessary for PMMA and permanent fillers but carries higher risks and downtime.
Safety depends on filler type and doctor expertise.
