The Penile Implant. La Bombita.

Penile implant surgery is a safe, effective, and long-term solution for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who have not had success with medications or injections. The procedure involves placing a concealed, internal device that allows you to achieve a firm, natural-feeling erection—whenever you want. Restore spontaneity, confidence, and intimacy with a discreet option that delivers consistent results.

A penile prosthesis, or implant, is a surgically placed device inside the penis that helps men with erectile dysfunction achieve and maintain an erection. It is typically recommended when oral medications, vacuum pumps, or injection therapies have failed or are not well-tolerated.

The most common type is the inflatable penile implant—a 3-piece system consisting of two cylinders placed in the penis, a pump in the scrotum, and a fluid reservoir in the abdomen. With a simple squeeze of the hidden pump, fluid moves into the cylinders, creating an erection. Deflating is just as easy, allowing the penis to return to a soft, natural state.

The surgery is usually outpatient and takes less than one hour. Recovery is about 4–6 weeks, with most men resuming sexual activity by week 6. Implants are not visible externally, and the sensation, orgasm, and ability to ejaculate are preserved.

Implant satisfaction rates are among the highest of all ED treatments, with over 90% of men and their partners reporting satisfaction. Best of all—it restores control and spontaneity without ongoing pills or planning.

Why choose a Penile Implant?

  • ✅ Reliable, spontaneous erections—on demand

  • ✅ Invisible: everything is concealed internally

  • ✅ Preserves sensation, orgasm, and ejaculation

  • ✅ No need for pills, injections, or pumps

  • ✅ High satisfaction for men and partners (>90%)

  • ✅ Long-lasting (10–15+ years in most men)

  • ✅ Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime

Penile implants are a life-changing solution for men seeking control, consistency, and confidence in their sexual function.

Ideal Candidate

  • Have moderate to severe ED that doesn’t respond to medications

  • Cannot tolerate or don’t want pills or injections

  • Want a permanent, mechanical solution that feels natural

  • Have Peyronie’s disease with ED

  • Want to restore intimacy and spontaneity

It’s often considered after failure of less invasive options, but can be the first-line solution for certain men seeking definitive treatment.

Recovery

Penile implant surgery is done on an outpatient basis under anesthesia.

  • Pain: Mild to moderate scrotal or penile pain for a few days

  • Activity: Most men return to light activity in 1–2 weeks

  • Resuming sex: Usually cleared by 4–6 weeks

  • Results: Functionality is immediate, but you’ll be shown how to operate the pump during follow-up

Sutures are absorbable and the small incision (usually at the base or in the scrotum) heals discreetly.
