A penile implant is a surgically inserted device that helps a man achieve an erection. There are two main types of penile implants: inflatable and non-inflatable:
Inflatable
A saline-filled reservoir is placed in the lower abdomen, and two cylinders are implanted in the penis. A pump in the scrotum moves saline into the cylinders to create an erection. To deflate, the user presses a button on the pump to drain the saline back into the reservoir.
Non-inflatable
The user bends the implant outward for sex and then bends it back toward the body after sex.
How Does a Penile Implant Work? - Advanced Urology
Penile implants can treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie's disease. They are designed to look and feel natural, and they don't change a man's ability to climax or sensation during sex.
Penile implants typically last 10–12 years, but the exact duration varies. The procedure is usually performed under anesthesia and involves a short hospital stay. Patients are usually able to resume sexual activity four to six weeks after surgery.

One complication I've had is that my libido went away completely about 4 years ago. Prior to that, I had occasional ED issues which were embarrassing. So I tackled the libido issue and finally found that working with an endocrinologist that my Free-Testosterone had gone down to basically nil. Now, I'm taking testosterone cypionate injections in my upper thigh once a week and find the additional T is helpful in restoring libido, but not to a miraculous level. At least I am getting erections in the middle of the night on occasion. I always thought that without libido, getting a penile implant would be not useful. I saw a urologist for it but decided not to go for it.

I have always wondered about that elusive libido thing. I trust that your shots (injections) improved your erection and perhaps your desire issues. When they tested my T level prior to my Implant procedure they found it to be a bit low. What I have come to understand is how much confidence plays in the so called libido game. I am 75 years old and used viagra and needles and what what what, and still had bouts of election issues. Especially maintaining. Point: The Implant simply changed that. AMS 700. Best to get a doctor who has done many. Dr. Colon, New York Health. My original recommendation stands. Take the hussel and bussel out of you sexual encounters. But remember the first 3 months of post procedure you will cruse me and the doctor. After that it's hey, hey hey. Be well.
A penile implant is major surgery that can have complications. It's expensive, and most insurance plans either don't cover it or they will pay only after all other alternatives -- including injections -- fail. It only lasts 10 years and then you're done, which, depending on your age and lifespan, can be a major bummer.
I agree injections don't sound appealing. They didn't appeal to me at first, but oral tablets did not work. Maybe it's me, but having a bionic penis didn't appeal to me, either.
Having used tri-mix for four years, I can say that the injections are not as bad as you think. Self-injection is a skill that is not difficult to master. The drugs are proven 90% effective, so my advice is give it a try. There's always surgery to fall back on.
Sure, the needle is intimidating, at first. Finding the right formula is a bit of trial-and-error. Too strong a dose and your member will ache for a while afterwards; to weak and you won't be hard enough for sustained intercourse. Spontaneity has to take a back seat to routine. However, once you and your doctor find the right dose, you'll be boinking like a porn star. So there's that.

I did get the penile implant. Works like a charm. Research and follow up on the effective duration of the implant is 15 years and beyond. And at 75 years od age, my choice was a solid move. I was injected with the trimix, but it is no where close to the effects of the implant. Lastly, the doctor that you chose is very very important.

The mallabble implants tend to last longer than the IPP implants with a very low risk of infection or complications if done by a high volume implanter.
