What is a penile girth implant?

A penile girth implant is a medical-grade, biocompatible silicone device placed surgically under the skin of the penis to increase its circumference (girth) — not its length. It is different from an erectile dysfunction prosthesis, which is a functional device (inflatable or malleable) designed to enable an erection, not to change girth.

How it works

The implant is placed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia and remains permanently integrated under the skin, increasing circumference by 2 to 4 cm consistently — both flaccid and erect.

What it is NOT

It is not a treatment for erectile dysfunction, it does not increase length, and it is not an over-the-counter product — it is a surgical procedure that requires prior medical evaluation.

Is it the same as Himplant or a penile prosthesis?

They are different brand names for the same type of girth-enhancement procedure using a silicone implant.
