Ideal candidate for Penis Implant Surgery:
The ideal candidate for penis implant surgery is the one who has Erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s disease. Implant surgery is usually the last resort for the candidate with this issue. It is basically preferred when all the other treatments for erectile dysfunction are used.
How common are penile Implants?
Penile implants are continuously growing in popularity worldwide. Between 2005 and 2012, the surgeons performed over 63000 penile implants in the U.S.
How long does a penile implant last?
The longevity of the penile implants varies from individual to individual, but generally, the implants last from 15 to 30 years. When the implant wears out, you can get it replaced by your surgeon.
Type of penile implants
Penile implants are classified into two types based on the type of device and degree of flaccidity.
Inflatable Implants:
Inflatable implants look like a rod-like stem. These implants can be inflated when an erection is required and can be deflated afterwards. These implants work through the cylinder and the pump. The system consists of a drainage tube (catheter) that is implanted in the scrotum, and a reservoir of fluid containing sperm is located in the abdomen or the pelvis.
When you want to harden the penis, just squeeze the pump, and the fluid will migrate from the reservoir into the cylinders. To de-inflate, a release valve of the implant is activated that takes the fluid back into its storage, consequently making the penis less hard.
It is also subdivided into two parts:
- Two-piece inflatable Implants.
- Three-piece inflatable device.
Semi-rigid rod/Malleable Implants:
Malleable implants mean flexible rods, just as their name suggests, that are firm at all times and can be bent into your desired shape before and after the sexual activity. They do not require or have an intracorporeal pump. To make the penis erect, you just have to manually pull up the penis. For de-inflation, just bend the two rods downward.
How does a penile Implant work?
Inflatable Implants: In the case of an inflatable implant, the surgeon places two cylinders, a reservoir, and a pump surgically into your body. The cylinder is inserted into your penis, and the tubes connect the cylinder to a separate reservoir under your lower abdominal (stomach) muscles. This reservoir contains fluid, and the pump is also connected to this system. The pump is under the loose skin of your scrotum between your testicles.
When you press the pump in your scrotum, it transfers the fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders in your penis. This inflates the penis to the hardness that you want. Once your penis is erected, you can maintain it for as long as you wish, even after an orgasm. When you are done, you can press a valve on the pump and it returns the fluid to the reservoir, thus deflating your penis.
Non-inflatable Implants: In the case of non-inflatable implants, the working mechanism depends upon two firm silicone rods. Unlike the inflatable implants, these implants do not require pumping. During sexual activity, you can extend the rod into your desired position. It has the same level of hardness all the time. After the sexual activity, you can press the penis to push it back down.
What happens before the penis implant surgery?
Before an implant surgery, your surgeon will check your vitals and overall general health. They will check you for any type of diabetes or urinary issues. He/she will also ask you about any type of medication you are taking or allergies you have. It will also be advised to you by the doctor to avoid taking blood-thinning medicine for 2 to 3 days before the surgery. Also, you will be given information about which penile implant is suitable for you, according to your body structure and your desired results.

Is penile implant surgery painful?
Penile implant surgery is not painful because it is performed under anesthesia, which numbs the surgical site against any potential pain.

Factors influencing the price of Penile Implant Surgery:
The following are the factors that determine the final penile implant cost.
Type of implant: Different types of implants, such as inflatable or malleable penile implants, account for varying costs of surgery. These kinds have their own pros, cons, risks, and the necessary postoperative care. So, the type of implant is the primary driving factor of the total cost.
Clinic reputation and Facilities: The standards and protocols of the clinic determine the cost of the treatment. This is because the smaller clinic with fewer facilities and in a more distant location charges less. Whereas the clinics with the international level hygiene and cleanliness standards, latest technologies and equipment, and if they are located in a prime location, then their operational costs are higher, which not only gives you better results but also costs more.
Surgeon’s skills: surgeons’ expertise and experience also affect the price, as the surgeons who are more skilled and have more experience also charge more. However, the higher charges come with more effective and trusted results.
Preoperative and postoperative Care: The amount of care needed pre and post-procedure also affects the final price.
Does a penile implant make your penis bigger?
No, it can’t make your penis bigger. You might think that in the state of erection, your penis seems shorter than it was before surgery. It is because the implant is not in the head of your penis; consequently, the head doesn’t get inflated in an erection. Thus, making it seem like it has gotten shorter, however, it is not the reality. Modern penile implant models consist of cylinders that increase your penis length, thickness, and stiffness over time as you use them.
How big can a penile implant be?
This depends upon your body structure. Your surgeon measures the inside of your penis and then places the biggest implant that is safe to put into your body. The implant size is not the same for everyone; rather, it is custom-made to fit your body measurements. In most cases, the look and size of your penis after the implant surgery are comparable to its natural look.
