Before the procedure, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what to expect. Peoria Day Surgery Center provides comprehensive counselling to prepare you mentally for the changes ahead. We discuss the potential psychological impacts, including:

  • Changes in self-image and self-esteem
  • Worries about sexual function and partner satisfaction
  • Concerns regarding the surgical procedure and recovery

We ensure that you feel ready not just physically, but emotionally too. It's about fostering a positive outlook towards the enhancements in your life post-surgery.

Recovery isn't just about the healing of incisions-it's also about adapting to your new body. Our post-operative care emphasizes emotional healing and support through resources such as support groups and one-on-one counselling with empathetic professionals.

During this recovery phase, it's completely normal to experience various emotions such as joy, relief, as well as anxiety or doubt. We're here to support you in navigating all these feelings, assuring you that they're a natural part of the process.

At Peoria Day Surgery Center , care doesn't stop at physical recovery. We offer ongoing psychological support to help integrate your new sense of self into your daily life. This includes:

  • Guidance on resuming sexual activities
  • Assistance with managing relational dynamics
  • Continued access to counselling services

Your well-being is our priority, and we want to ensure that you're thriving in every aspect of your life.

Your journey is shared with your partner, and their feelings are equally important. We provide resources and counselling to help partners understand the process, and we involve them in discussions and decisions where appropriate.

By addressing all aspects of your relationship, we facilitate a smooth transition to a fulfilling sex life post-implant.

Choosing to have a penile implant is a significant decision that should never be rushed. At Peoria Day Surgery Center , we provide extensive information and guidance to help you make an informed choice. We believe that knowledge is power, and an understanding of the full spectrum of this decision is imperative.

Dr. Joseph Banno and the team take the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, possibilities, and realistic outcomes to ensure that your expectations are aligned with what can be achieved.

Our approach to patient education includes discussing the types of implants available, the surgical procedure, and realistic outcomes. Being well-informed ensures that you are making choices that align with your personal goals and expectations.

We provide educational materials in various formats, so you can absorb the information in the way that suits you best. It's essential that you feel confident about the procedure and your decision.

No two patients are the same, which is why we craft individualized pre- and post-operative plans. Your health history, lifestyle, and individual needs are all taken into consideration as we create a plan that's uniquely yours.

Your personalized plan includes not just the surgical details, but also outlines the psychological and emotional support structures in place to navigate this transitional period.

One key to a successful outcome is setting realistic expectations before the surgery. Understanding what the surgery can and can't do helps in preparing mentally and emotionally for the changes to come.

Our team will discuss with you the likely scenarios you may face after your surgery-be it the recovery process or the potential adjustments in your sexual function and personal relationships.

Follow-up care is an integral part of our service at Peoria Day Surgery Center . Our evaluations post-surgery extend beyond the physical, ensuring that you are also healing and adjusting psychologically.

During these sessions, any concerns or challenges you are experiencing can be discussed openly, and ongoing support options can be evaluated and provided.

The road to recovery and adaptation after a penile implant surgery can be smoother with a strong support system. At Peoria Day Surgery Center , we encourage building this support network by involving friends, family, and especially partners, alongside our professional resources.

We understand the value of community, empathy, and shared experiences when it comes to healing. That's why we facilitate opportunities to connect you with others who have walked this path before you.

Inviting loved ones to participate in pre-surgery discussions and post-op recovery can provide emotional security and comfort. We help you to communicate your needs and changes effectively to those close to you.

Their understanding and support can be a tremendous source of strength as you adjust to life after surgery.

Joining peer support groups allows for the sharing of experiences and tips amongst individuals who can genuinely relate to what you're going through. We can connect you to these groups for collective strength and wisdom.

Peer groups provide a platform to discuss both triumphs and challenges, ensuring that no one feels alone during this time.

Our professional counsellors are available for ongoing sessions to help navigate any emotional and psychological issues that may arise. They're skilled at providing empathy and practical strategies to manage the complexities of your situation.

We uphold the utmost confidentiality and care in these sessions, providing a safe space for open dialogue.

Apart from external support, developing personal coping strategies is essential. We assist you in identifying and utilizing techniques that resonate with you, such as mindfulness, exercise, or creative outlets.

These strategies are important for building resilience and maintaining a positive mindset throughout your journey.
