As one of India’s leading penile implant surgeons, Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta has performed numerous 3-piece penile implant surgeries and has consistently addressed the various misconceptions surrounding this life-changing procedure. In this blog, we will explore the common myths associated with the 3-piece penile implant and present the facts, based on Dr. Gupta’s extensive experience and expertise.
Myth 1: “A 3-Piece Penile Implant Requires Too Many Incisions and Is Too Complicated”
Many patients believe that a 3-piece implant involves extensive surgery with multiple cuts. According to Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta, this is far from the truth. He emphasizes that the 3-piece implant requires only one small incision and that are precisely planned to minimize scarring and speed up recovery. These incisions accommodates all 3 components.
The entire procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. Dr. Gupta assures patients that it is no more complex than necessary, and modern techniques ensure minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Myth 2: “3-Piece Implants Break Down Easily and Need Frequent Repairs”
This is one of the most common myths surrounding penile implants, and it could not be further from the truth. Dr. Gupta explains that 3-piece penile implants are designed for durability and are imported from the USA, where they are subject to rigorous testing and quality control.
These implants come with a warranty—in fact, Rigicon offers a lifetime warranty, and other companies like AMS provide up to a 5-year warranty. This guarantees that, in the unlikely event of any mechanical issue, repairs or replacements are covered. According to Dr. Gupta, patients should feel confident about the reliability and long-term functionality of these implants.
Myth 3: “3-Piece Penile Implants Have Too Many Parts, Making Them Less Reliable”
Some people believe that the 3-piece implant, because it has multiple components (cylinders, pump, and reservoir), is more prone to failure. However, Dr. Gupta highlights that the design of the implant is both simple and robust, making it highly reliable.
There are just three parts that fit seamlessly together:
The pump that inflates and deflates the implant with ease.
The cylinders that expand to create an erection.
The reservoir that stores saline when the implant is not in use.
Dr. Gupta also explains that, with proper care, these implants do not fail frequently. Their design is the result of decades of improvement and experience in urological surgeries worldwide.
Myth 4: “You Can’t Maintain Natural Erections After a 3-Piece Implant”
Another major myth is that after the implant surgery, the patient loses the ability to achieve any natural erections. Dr. Gupta debunks this by explaining that while the implant replaces the natural erection process, it does not interfere with sensation or orgasm.
Moreover, for patients who still have some erectile function, Dr. Gupta uses corporal sparing techniques, which preserve the tissue inside the penis, allowing for some degree of natural response. The implant simply enhances the ability to have and maintain erections when needed, without impacting overall sexual pleasure.
Myth 5: “3-Piece Implants Are Uncomfortable or Look Unnatural”
Patients sometimes worry about how the implant will feel or look after surgery. According to Dr. Gupta, modern 3-piece implants, like the Rigicon and AMS models, are designed to provide both comfort and a natural appearance.
When deflated, the implant stays completely hidden, and no one can tell that the patient has undergone surgery. The pump, placed in the scrotum, is small and unobtrusive, and when inflated, the implant provides a rigid and natural-looking erection.
Why Choose a 3-Piece Penile Implant?
Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta strongly recommends the 3-piece implant for patients seeking a high-quality solution for erectile dysfunction. Some key advantages include:
Easy control: The pump allows patients to control their erection whenever they want, providing flexibility and confidence.
Natural feel: Both during and after sexual activity, the implant feels natural.
Durability: With warranties and high-quality materials, the implant is built to last.
Minimal scarring and fast recovery: Thanks to modern techniques and fewer incisions, recovery is quick, and scarring is minimal.
Two Trusted Providers: Rigicon & AMS
In India, Dr. Gupta primarily uses penile implants from two companies:
1. Rigicon: Known for their lifetime warranty and hydrophilic coating for infection prevention.
2. AMS: Offers a 5-year warranty, and while their models may not have hydrophilic coating, they remain a reliable choice.
Both companies provide top-tier implants, and the choice depends largely on patient preference and budget.
The Surgery Experience
In his video, Dr. Gupta walks viewers through the surgery process. He explains the use of advanced techniques like the fino-scrotal incision and corporeal sparing methods to ensure optimal results. The procedure is quick—taking just 20-25 minutes—and patients can expect to resume sexual activity in about 10-15 days post-surgery.
Conclusion
If you’re considering a penile implant and want a solution that’s reliable, discreet, and long-lasting, a 3-piece penile implant is one of the best options available. Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta’s expertise and experience ensure that patients receive the world’s best techniques in penile surgery, allowing for improved sexual function and a better quality of life.
