Himplant® in Tijuana, Mexico

FDA-cleared Himplant® penile enhancement in Tijuana, performed by urologist and reconstructive surgeon Dr. José Alfredo Ruiz through a dedicated medical-tourism program — directly across the border from San Diego, California.

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.

Why Tijuana, Mexico

Mexico's Premier Medical-Tourism Border City

Tijuana sits directly across the border from San Diego, California, and is one of the most established medical-tourism destinations in the Americas — drawing hundreds of thousands of international patients each year to its modern private hospitals, many clustered in the Zona Río medical district. Dr. José Alfredo Ruiz, a urologist and reconstructive urologist and a proctor for the leading penile-implant manufacturers, offers the Himplant® procedure here through a dedicated medical-tourism program built around international patients. Most travel in for a pre-op consultation, the outpatient procedure, and a short recovery stay in Zona Río before heading home. Patients can fly into San Diego and cross at San Ysidro, or fly directly into Tijuana International Airport — reachable from the U.S. side via the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) pedestrian bridge — making Tijuana one of the easiest international Himplant® destinations to reach from anywhere in the United States.

Your Visit Timeline

What to Expect During Your Trip

A typical 5-day visit to Tijuana, Mexico for your Himplant® procedure, step by step.

Day 1

Arrive & Pre-Op Consultation

Fly into TIJ or SAN — TIJ is about 15 minutes from Zona Río, and SAN is roughly 30–45 minutes north of the border. Check into a Zona Río hotel and complete your pre-operative consultation with Dr. Ruiz.

Day 2

Day 4

Recovery & Light Activity

PENILE ENHANCEMENT IMPLANT INFORMATION

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about the Himplant® procedure in Tijuana — cost with Dr. Ruiz, recovery, and planning your visit.

Q:
How much does Himplant® cost in Tijuana?

Tijuana Himplant® pricing starts at $13,500 with Dr. José Alfredo Ruiz through his Zona Río medical-tourism program.

Financing is available. Consultation details and any consultation fee are confirmed when you book, because consultation policies vary by surgeon.

Q:
Who is the best Himplant® surgeon in Tijuana?

Dr. José Alfredo Ruiz is a urologist and reconstructive urologist. He is also a proctor and international speaker, and his Tijuana program is built around medical-tourism support.

Every surgeon in the Himplant® network is trained on the current device and technique. Your consultation is where candidacy, expectations, border timing, and recovery planning are reviewed.

Q:
How long should I stay in Tijuana for Himplant®?

Most Tijuana patients structure the visit around pre-operative consultation, outpatient procedure, early recovery in Zona Río, and post-operative follow-up before returning home.

TIJ is about 15 minutes from Zona Río, and SAN is roughly 30–45 minutes north of the border. Build in extra time for CBX or San Ysidro crossing logistics.

Q:
How much does Himplant® increase size? How big can Himplant® make you? Does Himplant® add length?

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.

Q:
Does the Himplant® implant affect sensation, erectile function, or ejaculation?

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.

Q:
Will my partner and I be able to feel the Himplant® implant in my penis? How does it feel to the touch?

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.

Q:
When can I resume sex and workouts?

Most men get clearance at 6–8 weeks for sex and a phased return to exercise typically 3-4 weeks (per your surgeon).

Q:
How much does the Himplant® implant cost?

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.
