First things first, who's a good candidate for penile implant surgery? Dr. Brian Christine emphasizes that the ideal candidates are those who:

  • Have tried other ED treatments with little or no success.
  • Do not have medical conditions that would cause poor surgical outcomes.
  • Are mentally prepared for the changes post-surgery.
  • Have realistic expectations of the results.

Why is this important? Well, the surgery, while highly effective, is a significant procedure. Being a good candidate means a smoother process and better results.

Before you jump into action, Dr. Brian Christine will run thorough health screenings. Why? Because they're crucial! These checks include:

  • Assessing your cardiovascular health your heart needs to be ready for surgery.
  • Reviewing any current medications some might need to be paused before and after the procedure.
  • Checking for infections you've got to be in the clear to proceed.

We take these screenings seriously to ensure the utmost safety and effectiveness for you.

Dr. Brian Christine also talks about the importance of psychological readiness. Healing isn't just physical; it's mental too! Patients should:

  • Be mentally prepared to adapt to the implant.
  • Understand that while the implant will restore function, it may feel different from a natural erection.
