Will a Penile Implant Increase my Penis Size?
Sep 24, 2025
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complaint, affecting as many as 75% of men at some point. While the occasional difficulty reaching or maintaining an erection during sex isn’t cause for alarm, ongoing issues can negatively impact your intimate life.
If you’re bothered by ED and other treatments haven’t sufficed, you may want to consider a penile implant.
Our expert team at Kane Health in Silicon Valley, Redwood City, and the San Francisco Bay area of California provides penile implants to help restore your sexual vitality.
While penile implants aren’t meant to increase penis size, you may perceive some positive changes in that department.
Penile implants are designed to improve sexual function when other ED treatments, such as medication and addressing underlying medical conditions, do little to help.
If you’ve tried Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) or are managing a chronic disease like diabetes or hypertension, yet your erections remain MIA, you may be a good candidate.
Penile implants come in two main types: inflatable and semi-rigid. Your ideal option depends on your budget, preferences, and mobility.
Inflatable implants mimic natural erections, since you add air to the device when desired. This affordable implant option gets both “hard” and flaccid.
Semi-rigid implants stay partially firm around the clock, making them a smart option if you have dexterity issues or want something more predictable.
Generally speaking, a penis implant won’t make your penis larger. Rather, our team will match the implant size to fit within your penis. Once the implant is in place, your erections will appear larger than before the treatment, but they’ll probably match your pre-ED erection size.
Your penis may appear bigger when flaccid once you have an implant. This is often the case if you opt for a semi-rigid device.
A urologist will perform your penile implant surgery alongside an anesthesiologist and nurses. Thanks to general anesthesia, you’ll basically “sleep” through the procedure and wake up afterwards. You’ll need a ride home where you can begin recovery.
You can expect healing to take 4-6 weeks, during which applying cold compresses or taking over-the-counter medication can help minimize discomfort. Meanwhile, you’ll also need to avoid heavy lifting, intercourse, and vigorous exercise.
Each penile implant lasts for about 10 years, with 90% of recipients reporting satisfaction.
