Implants Have High Satisfaction Rates
Couples rate penile implants highly, with satisfaction rates of at least 90% for 2-piece inflatable, 3-piece inflatable, and malleable types. However, inflatable devices are generally preferred over malleable ones.
In a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study, researchers polled almost 900 couples. Two-piece and 3-piece implants had satisfaction rates of 96.1% and 99.2% respectively. The satisfaction rate for malleable implants was 90.3%.
