A group of researchers from Korea University apparently believes it does, considering they discovered a way to make it happen
They recently published a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine that analyzed how injections of a hyaluronic acid filler (Restylane Sub-Q) could increase penile girth. These physicians injected an average of 20.5 cc (about two-thirds of a medicine cup) using “a back-and-forth technique” into the deep soft tissue layers of the penises of 50 men. The product was then ‘homogenized with a roller.’
The men’s penises had an average increase in circumference (girth) of 4 cm, which was maintained 18 months later. They also assessed the patient and partner’s satisfaction with the treatment and found an average score of 3.3 (rated from 0-4) at 18 months. Sounds like a nice result, right? Keep in mind these patients underwent injections into their penises with relatively hefty needles. Ouch.
So what is the average, less-endowed man to make of this?
Until now, methods to enhance penile size have been ineffective at best and extremely invasive at worst. There is a plethora of creams, pills, and vacuum devices that promises to enlarge the penis, although very little scientific evidence is available to support these claims. More impressive results can be obtained by invasive surgeries. These procedures are not for the squeamish, however. One surgery to widen the penis involves cutting it open and implanting radiated cadaver skin around the central shaft. Think this is extreme? Some doctors lengthen the penis by cutting the suspensory ligament and then attaching a weight to the end of the penis daily. For six months. (Do not try this at home.)
So, taking into account these invasive surgeries, using a needle to inject filler into the penis doesn’t sound quite so bad. Still, what would I recommend as a board-certified plastic surgeon to anyone who wants to make their manhood appear larger?
There is one method that most men can utilize to accomplish this goal. This treatment involves no risks, no side effects, no needles, and no knives.
Lose weight.
Removing fat from around that area can make what’s left look bigger.

We are truly pitiful- makes me laugh at what we've become
Shocking that this discovery was made by Asian scientists . . .
;)
Too easy to make a joke about how Korean scientists "spearheaded" this research, so I won't.
Crap, I just did. Might as well keep going...
I wonder how big an "endowment" they received for funding?
"Johnson & Johnson" will profit from this.
Shaving all around the base of the penis also makes it look longer - but not thicker.
Hahaha! Good ones, Brian.
Apparently they're not aware that "it's not the meat it's the motion".
Speak for yourself, Sinned!
Well, mine may be little, but it's cute!!
I have learned to compensate though.... given the fact that I can lick a dime out of the bottom of a 2 liter soda bottle.
ttmadison #1.3: shaving all around it also prevents fur balls, but eliminates the ability to floss, or so I am told. No more multi-tasking.
what do asians do when they have an erection ? They go 2 the poles and vote like everyone else.
Finally! Now maybe the rhinos will be safe?
Tragic isn't it.
Ya say a acid-filled needle in my penis, doc? No thanks!
Really? Surely you know not all acids are caustic. You already have hyaluronic acid in your joints, skin, brain, etc. As for the needle in the pecker--I agree; no way.
osuguy, sorry to burst your bubble, but acids are acidic, (pH is low, 4 ish) and bases are caustic (pH 10+)
I had to have a Foley catheter once for about 4 days, after that experience I would pass on this even if I was needledick the bughumper.
Take enough LSD acid and you can make your wee-wee look like a giraffe! And you don't even have to use a needle!
Thanks Ken--Overlooked that; The word I was looking for is corrosive.
Oh how silly. Who cares? I'm not getting my breasts or clitoris changed to suit a man and I wouldn't expect him to change his penis to suit me. With all the things that are important in the people are getting shots in penises to get a bit bigger around???
Really, it's too bad humans focus on things like this instead of things that actually improve the planet or help people. And how about we care about the person and not the size of some organ?
Those with an active libido think about sex quite a bit actually. It's normal and is a sign of good overall health...up to a certain age of course.
Depends on which part is currently being cared for.
While I agree with you in principle, I would rather these insecure people take these shots than fund the killing of animals for aphrodisiacs. Take a shot, save a rhino,bear,shark, Spanish Beetle, or whatever else is supposed to get your motor running.
So that's were the rest of my penis went. I thought it shrank but now I know it's just deep in fat tissue. Whew, I can sleep better now. I can't wait for the late night infomercial on this procedure. Oh and could radio stations quit playing your "Erectile Disfunction" commercials during the daytime. It's hard to explain to an 8 year old what they're talking about on the radio.
"Button in a fur coat" effect?
The draw back that the Korean Scientist will find after Phase 3 Clinical Trials is that
Korean Women (and all Women) care about both SIZE and
LOAD!!
Most guys aren't bothered by the thickness of their penis. It is the length that guys get hung up about. Now I supposed that some women may find a thicker penis more filling there are probably some women that encounter monsters and are afraid of being split in two.
How about using your entire body to please her entire body? Make sure to give her a back rub or a foot massage. Try what I do. Have her lay on her stomach and use your hand or hands to rub her back and shoulders. Then use the bottom of your foot (the arch) to rub her legs. Move your foot up and down her calves and even rub her feet with your foot. You can even bring your knee and thigh down and let it rub her bottom while your foot goes up and down her leg, while rubbing her back with your hands. You can also rub her head and run your fingers through her hair.
Make the lovemaking experience be about more than just a couple of parts of the anatomy.
a lesson in love making, great
Economy killer...less filling or great taste?
"Have her lay on her stomach and use your hand or hands to rub her back and shoulders. Then use the bottom of your foot (the arch) to rub her legs.

I don't think I'm that coordinated. Also, that sounds like it could turn out rather disastrous if you've been drinking.
Doesn't breathing get to be a bit difficult.
I'm saying that there is more to a healthy long term sex life than concentrating on the major bits. Have fun, be creative, don't ignore the rest of your partner. I find that giving my wife a foot massage while we are watching TV usually leads to more later when we are in bed.
"using “a back-and-forth technique” into the deep soft tissue layers"
"The product was then ‘homogenized with a roller.’"
I don't think you need any injections just the back and forth technique and the roller aught to work.
LOL
Sounds more like a porn video.
cgtrv. my girl wouldn't know what to do without her hot beef injection...
Perhaps they will be able to find it with this discovery!
A guy at work lost 64 lbs. and said the penetrable length of his penis grew by 3.5 inches. Evidently, there was a lot wasted manhood hidden under all that fat. This could be important for those with only two "working" inches.
In the immortal words of Yucko da Clown... "Man, bet that's the first time he had seen it in 20yrs"... LOL.... ciao
Needle..injection.. and penis,all in one phrase.... No Thanks!!... stick with my God Given Tool... Ciao
Idiots! They so have NO clue what women want. Silly boys.
true they want money more!
i got a method for increasing the tongue length
Shorten your head?
every time my girl goes out she blows a hundred bucks so last time she left i went to the tattoo parlor and put a hundred dollar bill on it, and told her next time she feels the need to go out and blow a hundred bucks, she can just stay home and do that....
Not much fun for Mr. Happy.

Don't know why dudes are so hung up on the size of their penis. Just find a chick, or dude if you swing that way, who likes you for who you are. If the woman is emotional connected to you, sex is going to be better and more full filling anyway. Of course, I don't have a small penis, so I don't know what they are going though. Mine is normal.
Whatever Tiny.
Or just learn to do more with your tongue!
Those only deals with the "full filling" part.
alwats wondered, is ten inches normal ?
If size is an issue, the safer and more effective route to increase your chances with the ladies is to spend your efforts increasing the girth of your wallet.
Oh Gee. This will make them even BIGGER IDIOTS
Better have a look at this folks:
Wow, now that I am 66!:-((((, but, it plums up lips so why not a penis, they are the same material almost! only white guys will need it.
My link didn't make it, better check out this info on Restylane Sub-Q before doing anything rash. Just ignore the x at the front and cut and paste:

yeah, that's much better......
Google: Restylane Sub-Q - Sweden - Restylane Review - RealSelf
Some people are reporting real problems with this product such as extreme pain, scarring and swelling and general deformity. Doesn't sound like anything anyone should be injecting into their penises. Those people may end up with zero sensitivity. Leave well enough alone in my opinion.
If you want it to look bigger get a wife/girlfriend with smaller hands.
But all kidding aside, if you want to please your woman do the dishes, help clean the house, tend to the children, etc. and she'll reward you!
that sounds like a con to me
"Homogenized with a roller"?Lord have mercy!!!!!Why not just hit the man over the upper head with it.Make him come to his senses.
It is not the size of the wand that puts the rabbit in the hat, but the magic of the performer!
Try the pain free method if the wife or g/f is complaining: get a new wife or g/f. Problem solved.
this is too entertaining
The penis injection and homogenized with a roller is cheaper!
Size does not matter. It really doesn't.
This is a myth spread by men with tiny willies.
