The ability to be intimate with a partner is among the most satisfying and gender-confirming experiences for a trans man, and penile implants can help make penetration during intercourse a reality.

This surgery is typically performed about 9 months after phalloplasty and is achieved by inserting a semi-rigid rod or inflatable penile implant into the phallus, along with testicular implants to fill out the scrotum. These implants are entirely invisible to the eye and are fully concealed within the body.
