Penile implant surgery is a treatment for erectile dysfunction. The procedure involves placing a device inside the penis, which allows you to control when and how long you have an erection.

There are two main types of penile implants: inflatable implants and malleable rods. Each type has its indications based on a patient's lifestyle and medical condition.

The surgery usually lasts about an hour and is performed under anesthesia. You'll be asleep and won't feel anything during the procedure. Our team of experts takes every precaution to ensure your experience is safe and comfortable.

The operation involves small incisions and specialized techniques to minimize visible scarring and promote a quicker, smoother recovery.

Recovery is a crucial part of your journey. Most men return to their normal routine in 4-6 weeks post-surgery. You'll receive detailed instructions for care and a follow-up schedule to ensure you're healing properly.

We'll also support you with pain management and recommendations to help aid your recovery at home. It's important to follow these guidelines to ensure the best outcome.

Insurance coverage for penile implants can vary. Our administrative team is adept at helping patients navigate insurance queries. We'll work with you to determine if your plan covers the procedure.

If insurance is a concern, we offer various financing options to ensure that you get the treatment you need.
