Choosing a penile implant can be a daunting process, but you're not alone. We've put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand the different options, the procedure, and what to expect after the surgery. This journey is about you, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

A penile implant, also known as a penile prosthesis, is a medical device implanted into the penis through surgery. It is designed to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who have not responded to other treatments. The implants enable the penis to become hard and straight, which can restore sexual function and boost confidence.

The device typically comes in two types: inflatable and malleable. Inflatable implants are the most popular, providing a natural look and feel, whereas malleable implants are a more straightforward device that is manually positioned.

Choosing to receive a penile implant is a highly individual decision. Good candidates are those who:

  • Have chronic erectile dysfunction that has not improved with other treatment options.
  • Understand the permanent nature of the implant.
  • Do not have infections or medical conditions that could complicate surgery.

Our specialists are available to discuss your medical history and assess your eligibility for a penile implant. We encourage you to connect with us at (402) 727-5000 for a personalized consultation.

There are primarily two kinds of penile implants: inflatable and malleable (semi-rigid). The inflatable type offers a more natural erection and appearance, while the malleable type is always firm but can be bent into position when needed.

The choice between the two often depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and medical advice. Your doctor will guide you through the options to ensure that the implant suits your needs and expectations.

The procedure to insert a penile implant typically involves a short hospital stay. An incision is made in the penis, and the implant is inserted. Advanced surgical techniques allow for quick recovery and minimal scarring. Post-operative care is crucial to ensure a successful outcome, and our team provides comprehensive support and guidance during this period.

The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours, and most patients return to normal activities in 4-6 weeks. Pain can be managed with medications, and we ensure that all your post-surgery needs are taken care of.

After choosing a penile implant and undergoing surgery, a swift and proper recovery is key to ensuring optimal results. Our team at Surgery Center of Fremont is dedicated to providing you with all the support you need during your recovery period. And in your time of need, reach out to us at (402) 727-5000 for assistance.

Recovery involves resting, avoiding heavy lifting, and abstaining from sexual activity for a prescribed period. Following the doctor's instructions is crucial for healing and the best possible outcomes.

Recovery times can vary, but most men can return to their daily routines within 4-6 weeks after the procedure. It is important to note that full healing and the ability to engage in sexual activity may take up to 6-8 weeks.

Our team provides a detailed recovery plan tailored to your specific needs. We emphasize the importance of follow-up appointments to ensure the implant is functioning correctly and that you are healing well.

  • Follow-up appointments to monitor progress and healing.
  • Guidance on wound care and sign recognition for any possible complications.
  • Support in learning how to operate the implant.

All surgeries come with potential risks, and penile implants are no different. Some risks include infection, implant malfunction, and unsatisfactory results. Nevertheless, modern surgical techniques and devices significantly minimize these risks.

Our experienced medical team will discuss all potential risks with you in detail and guide you through preventative measures to ensure your safety and satisfaction with the procedure.

Penile implants are designed to restore sexual function, allowing you to have an erection suitable for intercourse. The implant should not affect sensation, orgasm, or ejaculation. Many men report high satisfaction rates after implant surgery.

It's important to talk with your partner about the changes that a penile implant might bring. Open communication and professional counseling can help navigate emotional and relational aspects during this transition.

Yes, after full recovery, you should be able to lead a normal life. The implant is designed to be undetectable in daily life, meaning you can go about your usual activities without anyone knowing about the implant.

The inserted device should not restrict your ability to exercise, swim, or engage in any other activities you enjoy. It's all about restoring function without compromising on normalcy.
