After penile implant surgery, following the post-operative guidelines is crucial for recovery and implant success. Our experienced professionals offer clear instructions to help navigate the healing process. Adherence to these guidelines prevents complications and sets the foundation for maintaining a fully functional implant.

We provide personalized advice tailored to your particular circumstances. For instance, we will advise you on medication management, proper wound care, and when it's safe to resume normal activities. Tending to the surgical site with proper hygiene and recognizing signs of infection early are paramount in ensuring a smooth recovery.

Regular check-ups with our physicians are crucial in monitoring the health of your implant. These appointments allow us to catch any early signs of issues that might affect your implant's performance. Yearly check-ups are generally recommended, but we may suggest a different timeline based on your situation.

During these visits, our focus is on the mechanical integrity of the implant, ensuring it is functioning as expected. We assess pump operation for inflatable implants or confirm the flexibility of malleable implants. Our aim is always to prevent any potential problems before they arise.
