Talking about an implant in Marietta
Kennesaw men considering an implant meet our urologists at our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center, where the surgery is done. We'll review what you've tried, from pills to injections or a vacuum device, and your overall health, including diabetes and heart conditions.
How our urologists walk you through it
A penile implant is placed fully inside the body, and an inflatable device is controlled by a small pump in the scrotum. It's often considered when other treatments haven't worked or aren't a good fit. We'll explain how the device works, what recovery involves and how long healing takes before use.
Call us after surgery if
- Fever or redness spreads
- Pain grows instead of easing
- Swelling or drainage increases
Bring your partner
Partners often have their own questions, and they're welcome at the consultation. Men from Kennesaw and Acworth can reach us at (678) 344-8900 to schedule, and we can arrange time with a clinician who handles implant planning.
Common questions
Is the implant visible?
No. The cylinders sit inside the penis and the pump inside the scrotum, so nothing shows from outside.
Will it change sensation?
Skin sensation and the ability to climax usually stay the same, because the nerves are not cut. Some men notice the erect penis feels slightly shorter.
How long before I can use it?
Usually after several weeks, once swelling settles. Our team teaches you to inflate and deflate the device at a follow-up visit.
Our team will give you instructions before surgery, including any steps related to diabetes or other conditions.
The procedure uses a single small incision, and the implant is fully concealed.
