What is a Penile Implant?
The penile implant works well when medications such as Viagra and Cialis do not work. The penile prosthesis also works when penile injections do not work.
A penile implant is a surgical procedure that is performed as a same-day procedure or may require a 1-2 day overnight stay. The penile implant restores erectile function by replacing the non-functioning erection tissue in the penis with a penile prosthesis.
How Satisfied are Men Treated for ED with Penile Prosthesis?
Most men who choose a penile implant for the treatment of erectile dysfunction are highly satisfied with outcomes. Penile prosthesis allows men to get and maintain firm erections whenever they have a desire reliably and without medications. A penile implant does not change sensation. Men are able to ejaculate as they normally do.
How Can I Get a Penile Implant?
The first step is to schedule an appointment to discuss your erection problems and to determine if the penile prosthesis is a good treatment option for you.
Cost and Insurance Coverage for Penile Implant
Most insurances consider penile implant a medically necessary treatment for erectile dysfunction. Some plans may cover a penile implant in some situations but not in others. Most health plans cover the cost of a penile implant after treatment for prostate cancer, or pelvic surgery.
Most insurances cover the costs of treatment with a penile implant. We perform benefit verification, preauthorization of the surgery with insurance companies, and appeal unfavorable decisions by insurance companies.
For men without insurance, affordable prices are offered. The cost of a penile implant includes 3 components: (1) surgeon’s fee, (2) the cost of the implant and surgical room fee, and (3) anesthesia fee.
Is Penile Implant Visible? Can Someone Tell if I Have Penile Implant
A penile implant is placed under the skin of the penis. When a 3-piece inflatable penile implant is not used and not inflated, no one will know that you have it. It does not protrude from pants when deflated.
When a penile implant is inflated before sex, the penis looks erect similar to a normal erection. Looking at the penis, one cannot tell if it is a natural erection or if the erection was achieved with a penile implant.
Who is a Good Candidate for Penile Implant?
Any man with erectile dysfunction that does not respond to medical treatment (medications such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and Stendra do not work well) is a candidate for penile prosthesis insertion. While it is not very common for younger men (men under age 30) to have penile implants, some younger men for whom other options do not work choose to get a penile implant. There is no age limit for the penile implant. We have performed penile implants for men in their 30’s and 80’s.
Men with erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy are also candidates for a penile implant. Men with high blood pressure, obesity, low testosterone, heart problems, stroke, and neurological problems are also candidates for a penile prosthesis.
Who Performs Penile Implants?
Less than 10% of urologists routinely do penile implant surgery. At New York Urology Specialists, Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is an experienced urologist who is a specialist in penile implant surgery for men. Schedule a consultation to see if a penile implant is a right treatment for your erection problems.

Does a Penile Implant Affect Sensation and Orgasm?
Penile implant only ‘corrects’ the problem of getting an erection. It allows a man to get a hard erection that is sufficient for sexual intercourse. Penile prosthesis insertion does not affect sensation or orgasm. If a man has normal feeling and sensation in the penis before penis implant surgery, usually he will have the same sensation after penile prosthesis. The penile prosthesis will not give you sensation if you normally do not have it.
A penile prosthesis does not increase or decrease the ability of a man to have an orgasm.
Penile implant is an effective treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction.
The cost of penile implant surgery is usually covered by medical insurance.
Is Penile Implant the same as Penile Pump?
Usually, a penile pump refers to a Vacuum Erection Device (VED) which is different from the penile implant. Some patients refer to a penile implant as a penile pump. It is important to understand that there are two types of treatment for ED that are very different: a vacuum erection device and inflatable penile implant (prosthesis).
What are the Different Types of Penile Implants Available?
In the United States, there are two companies that are FDA-approved to make and sell penile implants: AMS and Coloplast. Both companies offer high-quality devices with good patient satisfaction.
There are 3 types of implants that are available:
- 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis that consists of penile implants, pump, and reservoir. This is considered the best available type of penile implant for most men and includes AMS-700 and Coloplast Titan
- 2 piece inflatable penile prosthesis that consists of a penile implant and a pump. Unlike a 3-piece prosthesis, it does not have a reservoir.
- Malleable (Semi-Rigid or “Concealable”) penile implant: is a non-inflatable prosthesis that is very simple to use. Malleable implants such as AMS Spectra and Coloplast Genesis is a good option for men who desire simplicity and ease of use. In particular, a semi-rigid penis implant is the preferred option for men with diminished ability to perform fine motor movements with their hands.
We use AMS 700™ Inflatable 3-piece Penile Prosthesis for many patients. AMS Ambicor Inflatable Penile Prosthesis is a 2 piece inflatable penile implant without a reservoir. Spectra Concealable Penile Prosthesis is a malleable (semi-rigid) penile implant.
Coloplast penile prostheses include the Titan Touch inflatable penile prosthesis and Genesis Malleable penile prosthesis.

I saw the reviews about this place and was very hesitant to go but something was telling me to go with them and I don't regret it at all, the doctor did a great job and helped me understand the process plus the staff was amazing I would highly recommend it to anyone! quick story after the procedure I was in soo much pain and called the office on a SUNDAY, the doctor gave me a call back within 15 minutes and prescribed a stronger medication, to me that meant a lot for the doctor to take time from his day on a Sunday to help me.

I have been observed by Dr. Alex for many years and I must say that he is a highly qualified diagnostician, and also several times I have received qualified microsurgical assistance and very useful advice. The only reason I put 4 with a plus is a somewhat long wait for the reception.

Overall, it was a good experience. Dr. Shteynshlyuger (Dr. Alex) was very nice, warm and helpful. He performed a Shang Ring circumcision for me and the procedure went well. I'm pleased with the results and there were no complications. If anyone is interested in the shang ring circumcision in the tristate area, then I'd recommend him. The whole procedure is $1850, which includes the initial consultation (provided that ther are no complications) and every follow up visit up to six months.
