Every Himplant journey begins with a private, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Robbins. This is an in-depth conversation, not a sales pitch. Dr. Robbins will examine your anatomy, review your medical history, and have a candid discussion about what the procedure can and cannot achieve for your specific case.
In Dr. Robbins’ Words
“Most patients realize within the first few minutes of a consultation — virtual or in person — that there is no need to feel self-conscious about the questions they are asking, or about the Himplant itself. Nothing you ask will be new to me.”
“When patients consult in person, I let them hold an actual Himplant — not the one they would receive, but a real example of the device. Mostly, they are surprised at how soft it is and how much its texture resembles the feel of natural tissue.”
— Dr. David Robbins, Board-Certified Urologist
Topics covered during the consultation include:
Assessment of penile anatomy, skin quality, and tissue characteristics to determine implant sizing and feasibility.
Discussion of prior surgeries, current medications, allergies, and any conditions that could affect candidacy or healing.
An honest conversation about expected outcomes, potential risks, and what the recovery process actually involves.
A transparent breakdown of all costs, including the device, surgical facility fees, and anesthesia. Financing options are available.
Consultations can be conducted in person at our North Miami office or virtually for out-of-town patients. There is no pressure to proceed — many patients take weeks or months before making their decision.
Once you have decided to move forward, Dr. Robbins’ team will guide you through every pre-operative requirement. The goal is to ensure you arrive on surgery day fully prepared and medically cleared.
Standard pre-surgical blood work including complete blood count, metabolic panel, and coagulation studies. These can be drawn at your local lab or at our facility.
A clearance letter from your primary care physician confirming you are fit for surgery under anesthesia. Patients with cardiac history may need additional evaluation.
Blood thinners, aspirin, and certain supplements must be discontinued in advance. Dr. Robbins will provide a specific timeline based on your medications.
A prescribed course of oral antibiotics begins before surgery to minimize infection risk. Additional IV antibiotics are administered the day of the procedure.
No food or drink after midnight the night before surgery. Follow all fasting instructions provided by our team.
On the day of your procedure, you will arrive at the surgical facility approximately one hour before your scheduled start time. Here is what happens from that point forward:
You will be greeted by our surgical team, escorted to a private pre-operative area, and asked to change into a surgical gown. An IV line is placed, and the anesthesia team will review your medical information and answer any remaining questions.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. You will be completely asleep and comfortable throughout. Most patients have no memory of the procedure.
Dr. Robbins makes a single, carefully placed incision — typically at the base of the penile shaft or around the circumcision line — designed to minimize visible scarring. Through this incision, a subcutaneous pocket is created between the penile skin and the underlying tissue. The soft silicone Himplant device is then positioned within this space, wrapping approximately 270 degrees around the shaft to deliver a uniform increase in girth.
The implant is available in multiple sizes, and the final selection is confirmed during surgery based on the patient’s anatomy. The incision is closed with absorbable sutures that do not require removal. A compression dressing is applied to support healing and minimize swelling.
Total surgical time is generally approximately 45–90 minutes.
In Dr. Robbins’ Words — Inside the Operating Room
“The most important part of this operation is developing a clean, avascular plane below the skin and above the corporal erectile bodies. The Himplant is then tacked down into position and its edges contoured to the patient’s anatomy, so the result is absolutely spot-on.”
“Sizing is finalized on the table. We select an implant length based on the patient’s stretched penile length, then cut it down to the appropriate length during the procedure — long enough to give a longer flaccid length, but not so long that it interferes with the penis extending naturally during an erection. That decision is based on the distance between the pubic bone and the edge of the corona, measured intraoperatively, together with our pre-operative measurements. For girth, we choose a thickness appropriate to the patient’s size and skin elasticity — if a patient has a smaller glans, we don’t place an extra-wide implant that would look like a small head on big shoulders.”
“Before closing, I verify the implant is in excellent position: no edges sticking out that could be uncomfortable, and the proximal end tacked down right at the midline. I place a small drain in every patient to remove any fluid that might build up in the area after surgery and to decrease the risk of seroma.”

After surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area as the anesthesia wears off. Once you are alert, comfortable, and able to urinate without difficulty, you will be discharged with a companion who can drive you home or to your hotel. Most patients leave the facility within 1–2 hours of surgery completion.
All Himplant procedures performed by Dr. Robbins take place at New Face Aesthetics & Medical Center, a modern, accredited surgical facility located at 14432 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami Beach, FL 33181. The facility is equipped with:
The facility meets all state and federal requirements for outpatient surgery, including AAAHC or equivalent accreditation standards.
All anesthesia is administered by certified anesthesiologists or CRNAs who specialize in outpatient procedures.
The center is designed for discretion. You will not encounter other patients in common areas, and all staff are trained in confidentiality protocols.
Dr. Robbins sees every patient on post-operative day one, when your dressing is removed. A small surgical drain is placed in every patient and is typically removed in the office on post-operative day three. Detailed post-operative instructions — including wound care, activity restrictions, and medication schedules — are provided at discharge. Once patients travel home, they can reach Dr. Robbins directly by video conference and text whenever they need him.
