Frequently asked questions

Yes. Your message goes only to the doctor and the patient coordinator. We do not share your details with anyone, and your photos and medical records are never published.

The price depends on the type of implant and your medical situation, so we quote after the consultation. Every quote is a fixed all-inclusive figure covering the implant, surgeon, anaesthesia, hospital stay, tests, transfers and follow-up. There are no additional charges afterwards.

Plan for five to seven days: one day for pre-operative checks, the surgery day with one night in hospital, and a few days of rest before the second check that clears you to fly. Later follow-up is done by video call from home.

No. An Arabic-speaking coordinator is with you at every consultation, at the hospital and by WhatsApp throughout your stay. All documents are provided in Arabic or English.

Yes. Your stay has quiet recovery days built in, and gentle outings are usually fine from the second or third day after surgery: a seated cruise on the Bosphorus, a short walk through Sultanahmet, or dinner by the water in Ortaköy. Your coordinator arranges a private car and a guide if you want one, and the doctor tells you exactly what to avoid, such as long walks, stairs and lifting.

Yes, and many patients bring their wife or a relative. Istanbul is about four hours from the Gulf by direct flight, Arabic is widely understood, and there are family-friendly hotels, shopping and Bosphorus views close to the clinic. Your coordinator can plan outings for your family on the days you need to rest, and the hotel we book has room for them to stay with you.

A penile prosthesis is a medical implant placed inside the two erection chambers of the penis during a short operation. It lets you produce a firm erection whenever you want, for as long as you want, and then return to a natural flaccid state. Nothing is visible from the outside, and sensation, orgasm and ejaculation are unchanged.

Men with erectile dysfunction that has not responded to tablets, injections or other treatments, or who no longer want to depend on them. Common causes include diabetes, prostate surgery, vascular disease, Peyronie’s disease and priapism. Age itself is not a barrier. The doctor confirms suitability at the consultation after reviewing your medical history and, where needed, a penile Doppler ultrasound.

A three-piece inflatable prosthesis has two cylinders in the penis, a small pump in the scrotum and a fluid reservoir in the lower abdomen. Squeezing the pump gives a full, natural erection, and a release button returns the penis to flaccid. It is the closest to a natural erection and the most commonly chosen.

A malleable (semi-rigid) prosthesis is a pair of bendable rods. The penis is always firm but can be bent down for daily life and up for intercourse. It has no mechanical parts, is simpler to use, and costs less. The doctor discusses which suits your anatomy, health and preference.

Penile prosthesis has the highest satisfaction rate of any treatment for erectile dysfunction. In published series, more than 90 percent of patients and partners report being satisfied, and modern implants typically work for 15 to 20 years or more before any revision is needed.

As with any surgery, there is a small risk of infection, bleeding or mechanical failure. With antibiotic-coated implants, a no-touch surgical technique and an experienced surgeon, the infection rate is around 1 to 2 percent. The doctor explains all risks in detail before you decide, and you can ask him anything at the consultation.

The implant is sized to fit your own anatomy, so erect length is usually similar to the erections you had before erectile dysfunction began. Men who have had long-standing ED or prostate surgery may notice some shortening, which the doctor will discuss honestly at the consultation. Girth with an inflatable implant is often fuller than before.

Most men walk the same day and leave hospital the next morning. Desk work is possible after about one week. The implant is activated at four to six weeks, and sexual activity can begin once the doctor confirms healing, usually at six weeks.
