Why Choose Himplant®

The first & only FDA-cleared penile implant

Himplant® (formerly Penuma) is the only penile implant with specific FDA 510(k) clearance for cosmetic girth enhancement and correction of soft-tissue deformities — a soft, medical-grade silicone sleeve manufactured under strict U.S. quality standards.

FDA 510(k) cleared

The only penile implant with specific U.S. FDA clearance for cosmetic girth enhancement and correction of soft-tissue deformities.

Soft silicone sleeve

Medical-grade silicone placed subcutaneously for a natural look, feel, and movement — sizes L, XL, XXL.

+1–2 inches girth

Published series show ~56% midshaft circumference increase, plus added flaccid length from device weight.

Function preserved

No reported negative impact on erections, sensation, ejaculation, or urinary function in key clinical series.

70–80%+ satisfaction

Multi-year published data report 'high / very high' satisfaction in the large majority of patients.

Outpatient · removable

45–60 minute outpatient procedure. Reversible — device can be removed if desired. Limited lifetime warranty.

Why Himplant® is better than other procedures

Head-to-head against every common alternative

vs. HA Fillers (PhalloFILL / UroFill)

Permanent vs. temporary (12–24 months). Fillers require repeat sessions and higher long-term cost.

vs. Fat Transfer

More predictable, uniform girth — significantly lower risk of lumps, irregularities, or volume loss.

vs. Other Silicone Implants (e.g. Peniflex)

FDA-cleared with published clinical data and regulatory oversight vs. less-studied alternatives.

vs. Dermal Grafts (AlloDerm)

Better tissue integration and consistency for most patients; predictable, device-based result.

In a crowded market of unregulated pills, pumps, and unproven treatments, Himplant® stands out with rigorous FDA review for safety and performance.

Important medical disclaimer: The information on this page is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Himplant® is a medical device cleared by the U.S. FDA under a 510(k) premarket notification — this is not the same as FDA "approval." FDA clearance applies to the device itself, not to individual surgical outcomes, and does not guarantee results or eliminate risks. All surgical procedures carry inherent risks including, but not limited to, infection, bleeding, seroma/hematoma, scarring, sensory changes, implant exposure, migration, contour irregularity, dissatisfaction with aesthetic results, and the possible need for revision or removal surgery. Results vary significantly based on individual anatomy, surgeon skill, patient health, and adherence to post-operative care. Long-term data beyond 5 years is limited. This website does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. Always consult a board-certified urologist or qualified surgeon to evaluate your candidacy, discuss risks in detail, and determine whether Himplant® (or any procedure) is appropriate for you.

Frequently asked

What patients ask most often

Is penile augmentation surgery safe?

When performed by board-certified urologists at accredited facilities, complication rates are low. Like any surgery, risks include seroma, infection, implant migration, scarring, sensory change, and possible revision. Verify your surgeon's credentials and complication rates directly.

How is Himplant / Penuma different from fillers?

Himplant is a permanent FDA-cleared silicone implant placed surgically. HA fillers are non-surgical, temporary (12–24 months), and reversible. Implants deliver larger, permanent gains; fillers are lower-risk and a good way to trial enhancement.

Why are abroad prices so much lower?

Lower facility overhead, lower malpractice insurance costs, and currency differences — not lower surgical standards. JCI-accredited facilities meet the same international standards as top US hospitals.

Will my sexual function be preserved?

When performed correctly by an experienced urologist, sexual and urinary function should be preserved. Discuss specific risks with your surgeon during your consultation.
