We serve clients nationwide, so no matter where you're located, help is just a call away at (602) 931-4540.

Desert Ridge Surgery Centertakes pride in offering personalized care, ensuring that you can navigate the journey of life with your penile implant with utmost confidence. We're here to help every step of the way-our doors are always open for any questions you may have or if you need to book an appointment for a consultation or follow-up.

Embarking on this journey starts with understanding what a penile implant is and how it functions. A penile implant is a medical device that's surgically placed within the penis during a procedure. It's designed to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) achieve an erection that's suitable for sexual intercourse.

These implants come in different types-some are malleable while others are inflatable. Your surgeon, during the consultation, will determine the type that best fits your lifestyle and medical needs.

After your penile implant surgery, immediate care is essential. The first few weeks post-surgery are critical for ensuring infection prevention and proper healing. You will receive detailed instructions on wound care, medications to manage pain or prevent infection, and tips on rest and recuperation.

It's also important to follow up with your surgeon during this period. These check-ups allow us to monitor your healing process and address any concerns promptly. Remember, our team is just a call away at (602) 931-4540 whenever you have questions or concerns.

Long-term maintenance of your penile implant is vital for its longevity. This encompasses regular check-ups, timely activation of the device, and paying attention to any changes in performance or comfort.

Routine visits will keep your implant in check and help catch any issues early. Should there ever be a need for adjustment or a rare repair, catching it quickly is key to continued function and enjoyment.

Understanding how your daily activities and lifestyle can impact your implant is important. Most men will be able to return to their regular activities shortly after the healing period, including sexual activity.

However, we advise moderation in activities that could impact the groin area, particularly within the first few weeks post-surgery. It's all about ensuring you give the body and the implant the favorable environment they need to harmonize.

We're privileged to have leading experts like Shawn Blick as part of our team. With years of experience in sexual health and penile implants, Shawn Blick offers expert advice that's both [bold]easy to understand[/bold] and [bold]practical[/bold] for optimal care post-surgery.
