The patient must have periodical follow-up to assess the need to change the implant. Although the limits of the useful life of implants are not acknowledged by the scientific community, Silimed defines an average period of ten years as the expected useful life, but this parameter may be changed if some reason arises to justify it. Today we know of several patients in Brazil and abroad who have had the same implant for more than twenty years without any problem.
6. How often after surgery should I visit the doctor for a check-up?
t is best that a semi-annual or annual basis control is made with your doctor.
7. Why does not Silimed provide an inflatable penile implant?
Because although the inflatable penile implant is a more sophisticated and more natural-looking product, it presents greater likelihood of post-surgery complications. That is why Silimed counts on a line of solid, high-quality implants: the malleable and the adjustable penile implants, which offer less risk of post-surgery complications.
8. What is the durability of a penile implant?
The silver core of the Silimed penile implant was tested to last an average of 20 years, if the patient has sexual relations three times a week.
