Who is a candidate for a penile implant? Requirements and evaluation

Not every patient who requests this procedure is an ideal candidate — determining that is precisely the purpose of the first consultation, not a formality afterwards.

What is evaluated

General health history, individual anatomy, realistic expectations about the outcome, and absence of medical contraindications for outpatient surgery under local anesthesia.

Signs you may be a candidate

You are looking for a specific change in girth (not in length or erectile function), you have realistic expectations about the outcome, and your general health allows an outpatient procedure.

Signs you should explore another option first

If your main concern is erectile function, not girth — in that case, the service you need is an erectile dysfunction evaluation, not the girth implant.

The only reliable way to confirm candidacy is an in-person evaluation.
