Himplant® in San Francisco, CA
What is Himplant®?
Himplant® is the first and only FDA-cleared cosmetic penile implant currently on the market — a soft, medical-grade silicone implant placed under the skin of the penis by a Himplant®-trained surgeon to increase girth and flaccid length. The outpatient procedure typically takes under an hour, results are long-lasting, and the implant is removable. Patients have experienced an average girth increase of 1–2 inches and an approximate 50% increase in flaccid length on average. Individual results may vary.

What to Expect During Your Trip
Day 1
Arrive & Pre-Op Consultation
Fly into SFO, OAK, or SJC — SFO is ~25–40 minutes from Union Square by car, or 30 minutes via BART direct to downtown. Check into a hotel near the clinic and meet Dr. Liu at 490 Post Street for your pre-operative evaluation and treatment plan.
Day 2
Procedure Day
The outpatient Himplant® procedure — typically under an hour — is performed in an accredited San Francisco surgical facility. Book a rideshare or have a companion drive you back to your hotel — you should not drive yourself after the procedure.
Day 3
Early Recovery
Rest at your Union Square hotel. Daily check-ins from the clinic team, room service, and quiet amenities make the first full day of recovery comfortable.
Day 4
Recovery & Light Activity
Continue resting, adding light, recovery-friendly activity when you feel ready — the neighborhood's short walks and cable-car sights are steps away. Follow Dr. Liu's aftercare instructions.
Day 5
Post-Op Review & Fly Home
A same-week post-op visit at the clinic clears you to travel. Plan an afternoon or evening flight home from SFO, OAK, or SJC for maximum comfort.

Planning your visit
A medical-innovation hub with a walkable recovery base
San Francisco has long been a hub of medical innovation, anchored by UCSF, Stanford, and a deep bench of private specialists serving patients from across the Western United States. Dr. Victor Liu offers the Himplant® procedure at his Union Square clinic at 490 Post Street — a few steps from Union Square itself and a short walk from many of the city's finest hotels.
Getting here is easy from anywhere
With three major Bay Area airports all within easy reach, the city offers a particularly convenient setting for medical travel. San Francisco International (SFO) is the primary global hub — roughly 25–40 minutes by car, or 30 minutes via BART direct to downtown. Oakland International (OAK) is the East Bay alternative at about 30–45 minutes via the Bay Bridge, and Mineta San José (SJC) serves South Bay–based patients.
Union Square: transit, hotels, and discretion
Dr. Liu's clinic is in the heart of Union Square — one of the most walkable, transit-accessible neighborhoods in San Francisco. Powell Street BART/Muni station is three blocks south, and the Powell & Mason and Powell & Hyde cable car lines are a block away. Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout downtown. Paid parking is available at the Sutter-Stockton Garage one block away and the Mason & Ellis Garage two blocks away. For procedure day, book a rideshare or have a companion drive — you should not drive yourself home after the procedure.
How most patients structure the visit
Most patients structure a 4–5 day visit: pre-op consultation on Day 1, the outpatient procedure on Day 2, recovery in a Union Square hotel on Days 3–4, and a post-op review before flying home. Recovery-friendly hotels sit within a two-block radius of the clinic — the JW Marriott is directly next door at 515 Mason, the historic Westin St. Francis faces Union Square itself, and Hotel Nikko offers an indoor pool and full spa two blocks away — so every pre- and post-op appointment stays within a five-minute walk.
The combination matters for this procedure specifically: a private downtown surgical setting, direct surgeon access from your first call to your final post-op visit, and a concentrated hotel district that keeps walking distances short during early recovery. Whether you're coming from the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, the Pacific Northwest, or further afield, San Francisco compresses the entire Himplant® journey — consultation, outpatient surgery, structured recovery, and clearance to fly — into a single convenient city block.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about the Himplant® procedure in San Francisco — cost with Dr. Liu, recovery, and planning your visit.
Himplant® surgery in San Francisco costs $18,000 with Dr. Victor Liu, whose Union Square practice at 490 Post Street offers a free initial consultation — in person or by video.
The figure covers the standard all-in procedure. Add-ons such as circumcision or lipectomy, where medically indicated, are quoted individually at consultation. Financing plans are available; submit the eligibility form and the team will follow up with consultation timing, exact cost, and travel details for your visit.
For the Himplant® procedure specifically, San Francisco's Himplant® trained surgeon is Dr. Victor Liu — a double-board-certified plastic surgeon (general and plastic surgery), Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and member of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons.
Dr. Liu performs the procedure at his private Union Square practice at 490 Post Street, Suite 1230. Every surgeon in the Himplant® network is trained on the device and technique, so "best" comes down to credentials, consultation fit, and location — the eligibility form is the fastest way to start that conversation.
Most traveling patients plan a 4–5 day San Francisco visit: pre-op consultation on Day 1, the outpatient procedure on Day 2, recovery at a Union Square hotel on Days 3–4, and a post-op review before flying home.
Recovery-friendly hotels sit within a two-block walk of Dr. Liu's clinic at 490 Post Street, and all three Bay Area airports (SFO, OAK, SJC) are within easy reach. Your actual stay length depends on your recovery and Dr. Liu's clearance — always confirm travel plans with the clinic before booking flights.
Based on historical results, we have seen an average increase of 1″ to 2″ of added girth to the penis. Flaccid penile length gains have also been reported. Erect length increases, if any, are unpredictable and depend on the individual patient’s anatomy. Individual results may vary.
Based on a clinical review of 400 patients over 5 years, there were no cases of changes to penile function, ability to get or sustain an erection, or ejaculation during sex. There may be a change in sensation. Some patients have reported both increased and decreased sensitivity. This is generally temporary and typically resolves over time as the skin expands. Individual results may vary.
The Himplant® implant is designed to feel natural whether your penis is in a flaccid ("soft") or erect ("hard") state. We have used soft medical-grade silicone to achieve the most natural feel possible.
Additionally, the capsule formation around the implant will give the implant more of a natural feel to the touch. The entirety of this process will take anywhere between 6-12 months.
Patients often report that it's undetectable to sexual partners who have not seen their penises prior to the procedure. However, it is essential to note that the implant is a foreign object, and it may be detected.
Each patient’s circumstances will determine the cost of the implant. Most patients pay $10,500–$19,000, depending on location, surgeon, and add‑ons (e.g., circumcision). Additional costs may include circumcision for uncircumcised patients, lipectomy for overweight patients, travel for remote patients, etc.
If paying for the procedure is an issue, many of our clinics offer financing plans, including zero-interest options for a period of time.
