The placement of a penile prosthesis is called palliative surgery. There are three types: semi-rigid prostheses, two-piece inflatable prostheses, and three-piece inflatable prostheses.
Aging can negatively influence the normal functioning of various organs such as the penis. Thus, the disorders or the absence of erection can be traumatic in the intimate relations and the way of living fulfilling sexuality.
Several solutions are proposed to treat this disease, such as medication, injections into the cavernous body of the penis, or even penile prosthesis in Istanbul's clinics at a competitive cost.

Penile implant: the Best Solution to Erectile Dysfunction
Age advancement can negatively influence the normal functioning of different organs like the phallus. Thus, disorders or lack of natural erection can be traumatic in intimate relationships and how to live a fulfilling sexuality. Several treatment options are proposed for men with erectile dysfunction, such as:
- Medicament
- Injections in the cavernous body of the penis
- Penile prosthesisprocedure
What causes erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction is a clinical disorder that occurs in case of weak blood flow in the phallus or damaged nerves. It can also result from stress or psychological conditions. This trouble may also be a premature sign of a more serious disease, like arterial sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes.
The most known physical reasons for ED (erectile dysfunction) are related to blood circulation and pressure. Heart conditions, arterial sclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension can all affect the blood flow in the penis.
Diabetes leads to ED by damaging the veins and the nerves.
The Penile Prosthesis Procedure: a third-line treatment
To improve penis function and treat erectile dysfunction, several methods are offered by doctors such as:
Oral medications
This is the first-line treatment and is in the form of oral medication (Viagra, Cialis). However, these drugs are not advised for people with heart conditions.
Vasodilator molecule injection
The injection of electrogenic substances makes it possible to have a fast erection of good quality (second-line treatment). It is done by a general surgeon in a hospital or a clinic, under local anesthesia.
Penile prosthesis procedure
A penile prosthesis procedure is a third-line surgical treatment done by a plastic surgeon. It is offered to people for whom the other two types of treatment are not effective. The penile prosthesis is a palliative surgery.
There are three types of implant: semi-rigid, two-piece inflatable, and three-piece inflatable prostheses.
What is the penile implant?
A Penile prosthetic device is an implant placed inside the phallus to allow men to regain their erections. A penile implant is generally suggested after the failure of other ED treatments.
This medical device is often used for men with psychogenic impotence (inability to obtain an erection).
A penis brace may also help treat severe symptoms of an illness that causes scarring inside the phallus muscles. This condition may lead to curved erections and pain sensation (Peyronie's disease).
During the surgical procedure, the plastic surgeon will make an incision on the base of the penis to introduce the implant. After the procedure, it is not recommended to practice strenuous activities.
Types of implants
- Semi-rigid (non-inflatable penile Implants)
- Two-piece Inflatable Implants
- Multicomponent (three-piece Inflatable Implants)
A penile prosthesis procedure is the last treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction. It is the third-line option after other nonsurgical medical procedures, such as medication and injections, fail.
Penile Implant is a life-lasting surgical solution. It substitutes the spongy tissue inside the phallus using cylinders that are entirely hidden within the body.
By pressing the mechanical device that comes with the prosthesis, the pump liberates the saline in the cylinders, causing an erection. Pressing the deflation valve situated under the pump will inverse the process. The liquid will return to the container and the phallus will be deflated.
Reasons to have an implant
A penile implant when sexual dysfunction is impossible to be treated naturally or with medication. These troubles can include:
- Erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Congenital deformities
- Iatrogenic (treatment side effects, such as prostatectomy)
- Penile trauma
- Micropenis (very small penis size) or Peyronie's disease
This option is only considered when minimally invasive and nonsurgical treatments have been useless. For example, many medicines used to treat ED, such as Viagra, are dangerous for patients with heart conditions. Indeed, they may react with other drugs.
A penile prosthesis can also be used during phalloplasty (a plastic surgery that aims to restore the phallus) or penis enlargement in Turkey.
In some cases of genital phalloplasty, a semi-rigid prosthesis is implanted for the three postoperative months, to prevent penile retraction.
Is the prosthesis procedure in Turkey effective?
The penile prosthesis in Turkey is a simple, reliable, and durable solution. It is performed in operating rooms by well-trained surgeons. It aims to treat the inability to achieve or maintain a sufficient erection in penetrative sex.
These prostheses are easy to hide underclothing. They improve the psychology and the quality of life of the person operated as well as his partner.
This intervention also has some disadvantages:
- The gland does not grow, and sexual penetration can be embarrassing
- Loss of 1 cm to 2 cm length or girth of the penis
- Severe pain during the first weeks after the operation
Despite its side effects, the penile prosthesis is the best solution, especially for people who cannot treat themselves with medication. This procedure has high satisfaction rates among men with erectile dysfunctions who had recourse to this surgery.
The price of the implant in Turkey varies depending on the case. You can request your free quote and discuss it directly with the most recognized doctors in Istanbul, Izmir, or Antalya.

- Inflatable implants: made up of 3 elements: a reservoir, a pump with a deflation valve and two inflatable cylinders.
By compressing the pump, the reservoir sends the liquid into the cylinders causing an erection. By compressing the deflation valve or bending the penis, the fluid returns to the reservoir. - Semi-rigid implants: composed of stainless steel wires wrapped in silicone.
Postoperative pain is inevitable in the case of penis enlargement surgery. However, its intensity and duration vary from one patient to another. In general, the pain is calmed by morphine derivatives during the first postoperative week. Then the patient is given ibuprofen or paracetamol. However, intense physical activity should be avoided during the first postoperative month.
The penile implant does not alter or modify the sensitivity of the penis. However, it cannot fix ejaculation problems or increase libido.
It takes at least 4-6 weeks to adjust to the prosthesis. The resumption of sexual intercourse is gradual.
The success rate of penile implant surgery in Turkey is 95%.
Yes, the penile implant performed in Turkey, or so-called penis implant, is a radical solution to erectile dysfunction.
