What is penile implant surgery, you ask? To put it simply, it's a surgical procedure to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). A penile implant is a device placed inside the penis that allows men with ED to get an erection. This might sound quite complex, but our skilled and the team make it as straightforward as possible.

There are two main types of implants: inflatable and malleable. Inflatable implants can be pumped up to create an erection and deflated afterward, much like inflating a balloon. Malleable implants, on the other hand, are semi-rigid, bendable rods that you can position as needed. Both have their pros and cons, which we'll happily discuss with you.

Finding the right treatment for ED is a personal journey. Penile implant surgery might be a viable option if other treatments haven't been successful, or if you're looking for a more long-term solution. This procedure could restore sexual function and, by extension, improve your quality of life and relationships.

It's important to note that while penile implants are effective, they're considered more invasive than other ED treatments. That's why we emphasize the importance of education and conversation. Discussing your medical history, current health, and lifestyle with us can help in deciding if this surgery fits your needs.

After penile implant surgery, most patients can return to their typical routine within a few days, with complete recovery usually taking around four to six weeks. During this time, some soreness and swelling are normal, but trust us, we'll guide you through managing these symptoms.

The results? Many men report satisfaction with their implants and experience a return to a healthy and fulfilling sex life. The implant is entirely concealed within the body, so no one will know you have it unless you tell them-ensuring your privacy is maintained.

Now, we know you've got a ton of questions swirling around in your head. Don't worry, we've got answers. Below, we tackle a handful of your most pressing concerns, providing clear, helpful information that paints a full picture of what to expect from penile implant surgery.

We're here to demystify the process and offer insights that resonate with you. Remember, every question is valid, and we're just a call away at (856) 341-8262 if you need more information.

Safety is our top priority. Penile implant surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified surgeon with extensive experience in the field. Complications are uncommon, but as with any surgery, there are risks which we'll fully outline for you.

We maintain the highest safety standards before, during, and after your procedure. Our state-of-the-art facilities and rigorous protocols are in place to minimize any risk, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.

A concern for many is whether penile implant surgery will affect sensation or the ability to orgasm. Breathe easy. For most men, the ability to have an orgasm with an erection achieved through an implant remains unchanged. The implants do not interfere with penile sensation or the ability to climax, as long as these functions were normal prior to the surgery.

Restoring sexual health is more than just achieving an erection; it's about maintaining the full experience. We're committed to preserving your sexual satisfaction and are always open to discussing your expectations and any concerns you may have.

When it comes to health procedures, costs are always a consideration. Penile implant surgery is an investment in your well-being, and the cost can vary depending on various factors such as the type of implant and your insurance coverage.

Be assured, we strive to make this life-changing solution accessible and affordable. Our team will help navigate insurance options and other financial aspects, providing you with a clear understanding of any potential costs. It's about investing in your quality of life and we believe you deserve to explore all options.

Understanding life after penile implant surgery is vital to making an informed decision. With Virtua Center for Surgery , you're not just getting a procedure, you're starting a new chapter in your life.

Our patients often tell us that the implant feels natural and allows them to enjoy an active, satisfying sex life again. Let's talk about the day-to-day, and how you can thrive after surgery.

Adjustment is a part of the process, and we want to ensure it's as smooth as possible for you. The initial weeks after surgery will involve some healing and learning how to use the implant. Practice makes perfect, and soon, you'll likely find using your implant becomes second nature.

As part of our comprehensive care, we provide you with all the guidance and support you need during this phase. Our follow-up care is designed to monitor your recovery and address any concerns you might have. Your comfort and satisfaction are what matter most to us.

An implant is a long-term solution, but like anything, it requires some maintenance. We provide you with all the information you need to take care of your implant, prolonging its lifespan and ensuring optimal performance.

Regular check-ups with us are a part of this routine. We make these appointments comfortable and stress-free, ensuring your implant is functioning correctly and you're happy with the results.

The true success of penile implant surgery can often be measured by the return of confidence and intimacy in one's life. We understand that ED can take a toll on relationships, but an implant can facilitate a revival of closeness with your partner.

We celebrate the positive changes our patients experience, not just physically, but emotionally too. With your implant, you can look forward to new possibilities and the joy of rediscovering intimate connections.
