  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Non-medical liquid silicone injections for penile augmentation are a dangerous practice.
  • Complications can include granuloma formation and distant particle migration.

Observation:

  • A case of penile silicone granuloma is presented.
  • The patient experienced sexual dysfunction due to the granuloma.
  • Silicone particles migrated to the penile root and scrotal raphe.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the penile granuloma and migrated silicone particles was performed.
  • Penile reconstruction utilized scrotal skin.

Implications:

  • Subcutaneous liquid silicone injection for penile enhancement has severe, irreversible consequences.
