Considering an Implant, or Unhappy with a Previous Result?
Choosing a penile implant, or deciding what to do about one that is not performing as you hoped, is an important decision. A second opinion can give you clarity and confidence, whether you are weighing up surgery for the first time or living with a result you are not satisfied with.
Dr Ross Calopedos welcomes second-opinion consultations, including for men whose original surgery was performed by another surgeon.
When a Second Opinion Can Help
- You are deciding whether a penile implant is right for you
- You have been told your case is too complex
- You are experiencing pain, poor positioning or difficulty using an existing device
- You are unhappy with the size, appearance or function after previous surgery
- You want to understand whether revision or a different approach is possible
Questions Worth Asking Any Implant Surgeon
A penile implant is a permanent device placed inside delicate anatomy, and the result depends heavily on the surgeon, technique and aftercare. Before deciding, it is reasonable to ask:
Is penile implant surgery a core part of your practice, or something you perform occasionally?
How many penile implant procedures do you perform each year?
Do you manage complex cases and revision surgery?
What incision, infection-prevention and tissue-preservation techniques do you use?
What happens after surgery, who do I contact, who trains me to use the device, and is follow-up included?
A Focused, High-Volume Implant Practice
Dr Ross has deliberately built his practice around erectile restoration and penile implant surgery, and is among the higher-volume penile implant surgeons in NSW. This focus, combined with experience in revision and complex cases, means second-opinion patients receive a clear, honest assessment of their options.
