Injecting hyaluronic acid into the penis is not a standard or recommended practice. Any type of injection carries certain risks, including infection, bleeding, and allergic reactions. Moreover, due to the properties and absorption rate of hyaluronic acid, localized swelling, pain, and other discomforts may occur after injection. For concerns regarding genital aesthetics or other issues, individuals should consult a qualified medical professional.
