It’s a warm Tuesday in early May, and I’m a block from the historic New York Public Library building in midtown staring at a penis. It’s semi-erect and bleeding slightly, but there’s gauze on hand to soak things up. Bobbing in and out from under the skin at the shaft is an inch-long needle attached to a syringe that contains hyaluronic acid. This same type of filler that’s beenis now being used to pursue a plumper, thicker look — except in this case, it’s one most people won’t see.
“It goes beyond just filling up a penis,” Bustamante says. “I really do think that there is an artistry to it, to making it look good: aesthetically pleasing, no lumps, smooth, consistent, looks natural, feels natural — all those things.” He is far from the only provider offering penis-girth enhancement — some plastic surgeons have even tried branding their procedures with names likeprocedure are men. About half also come from out of town to see him, some from as far as the U.K. or Dubai. His Instagram features a grid of handsome, mostly queer men smiling for the camera as they demonstrate the effects of Botox, lip filler, or laser-hair removal.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of hyaluronic acid but not for the penis specifically, so this is technically an off-label application. Yet Dubin said he viewed the procedure as “reasonably safe,” especially compared with other past methods of penis augmentation that are mostly concerned with length, not girth, and that can. Although the American Urological Association has not yet put out a statement on penile-girth enhancement, Dubin suspects that will soon change.
As he finishes up on Tommy’s penis, Bustamante injects a little extra filler into the left side to help correct its slight curve. And he makes sure not to put any filler on the top of the penis, only the sides, so as to ensure it doesn’t end up resembling a “sausage” when erect. He also wants to avoid “the baseball-bat effect,” so he tries to work toward a thicker base that tapers slightly up, rather than the reverse.
