US EditionMore men are seeking out ‘penis filler.’ The complications are horrifying doctors
SCOTLAND, JUL 24 – Unregulated clinics in Scotland have caused a surge in NHS admissions for severe complications from genital Botox and filler injections, including at least one amputation, officials said.
- An increasing number of men in Glasgow are requiring NHS medical care after experiencing complications from poorly performed Botox and filler treatments on their genitals at unauthorized pop-up clinics.
- This trend stems from social media promoting these procedures as easy fixes despite few specialists performing cosmetic injections on male genitals and high risks involved.
- Some patients experienced severe outcomes, including one man who required penile amputation following a botched Botox injection, while others faced urgent A&E treatment for complications.
- Healthcare Improvement Scotland oversees over 500 registered clinics and has been tasked with establishing a regulatory framework to address the rising harms from unregulated cosmetic surgery.
- Experts warn that these cosmetic penile injections are not quick fixes, urging men to seek specialist advice and confirm clinic registration to avoid serious health problems.
