The Himplant® procedure is designed with the preservation of the penis's natural state in mind. Throughout the insertion process, your surgeon strives to ensure the penis's integrity, allowing for potential implant removal if required.

According to a 2021 study, the need for implant removal due to adverse events or personal preference (i.e., dissatisfaction) was less than 10% of cases.

However, it's crucial to understand that the removal of the Himplant® necessitates a rehabilitation process to promote optimal healing. Initial retraction of the penis may occur after Himplant® removal, and the rehabilitation process is key to regaining any potential lost length.

Please bear in mind that individual experiences can vary, and it's best to discuss all possible outcomes and scenarios with your surgeon before making a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Himplant®, we are dedicated to helping you to find the optimal male enhancement option. Read our FAQs or go to HimFACTS for more information.

Q:
Does smoking affect eligibility?

Yes. Patients are generally required to stop nicotine use before surgery and during recovery because nicotine may impair blood flow and wound healing.

Q:
Are there age restrictions?

Patients are generally expected to be 21 years or older, although final eligibility is determined during medical evaluation by your Himplant surgeon.

Q:
Can I proceed if I have chronic health conditions?

Some medical conditions can be evaluated individually. The surgeon will review your medical history to determine whether surgery can be performed safely.

Q:
Can I get Himplant® if I previously had penile fillers or enhancement procedures?

Some patients with a history of penile fillers or other procedures may still be evaluated. The surgeon will examine tissue quality and determine whether implantation can be performed safely.

Q:
Do I need to be circumcised to receive Himplant®?

Circumcision status is evaluated during consultation. In some cases, circumcision may be recommended depending on individual anatomy and surgical considerations.

Q:
How do surgeons determine if someone qualifies for Himplant®?

Surgeons determine eligibility by reviewing medical history, lifestyle factors, penile anatomy, and patient expectations. This evaluation helps ensure the procedure can be performed safely and that outcomes align with patient goals.
