Any surgical procedure requires careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks, and the Himplant procedure is no exception. However, our clinical data derived from an IRB-approved, retrospective study has shown promising outcomes, with a majority of patients reporting high levels of satisfaction and a significant boost in self-confidence post-surgery.
Nevertheless, as with all surgeries, there may be some adverse events. In the case of Himplant, reported complications include infection, seen in approximately 3% of cases, and seroma or fluid build-up, seen in about 5% of cases. It is important to note that these incidents often occur when patients fail to follow the recommended post-operative care instructions. As such, strict adherence to these guidelines is critical to reduce the likelihood of any complications. This not only helps to ensure the success of the procedure but also safeguards your health.
To provide a more in-depth understanding of the Himplant procedure, we have prepared an informational video. This resource offers a comprehensive exploration of what to realistically expect from the surgery, the potential benefits, possible risks, and potential complications.

Moreover, patient education and informed consent are integral to our protocols. Thus, prior to the procedure, your surgeon and his team will take the time to thoroughly discuss with you all aspects related to the surgery. This will include potential risks, possible complications, the expected benefits, and even alternatives, including the option not to proceed with the surgery. This ensures that you can make an informed decision that aligns with your personal health goals and expectations.
