First off, let's talk about what's normal after you've had a penile implant surgery. It's usual to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the days following your procedure. Remember, your body is healing, and these are signs it's working hard to do just that! Here are a few signs that shouldn't cause alarm:

  • Swelling and Minor Pain
  • Mild Bruising
  • Reduced Sensation temporarily

We're here for you, and your well-being is our top priority.

On rare occasions, a penile implant might not work as expected. If you're having trouble inflating or deflating the device, or if it feels unusual in any way, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Often, a bit of troubleshooting can resolve the issue quickly and painlessly.

Like any device, penile implants can sometimes experience mechanical complications. Leaks, kinks, or pump issues might occur. The good news is that many of these can be fixed or managed without invasive procedures. We'll work with you to determine the cause and best next steps.

Infections are a concern with any surgical procedure, but the good news is they're relatively rare with penile implants. Taking the right precautions before and after your operation can greatly reduce your risk. Still, if you notice any signs of infection, it's critical to touch base with us. Early intervention is key in these situations.

Pain and discomfort can occasionally happen, especially if adjustments to the implant are needed. We have various strategies to manage pain effectively, and we encourage you to communicate openly with us about your comfort levels. Your quality of life is always at the forefront of our care plan.
