Here’s what to expect from the semirigid implant surgery. To avoid infection, some doctors ask patients to shower with a special antiseptic soap for several days before the operation. This procedure helps to decrease surface bacteria and may reduce the chance of infection. For the same reason, some doctors put patients on antibiotics for a period before and after the operation.

Although infections with prostheses are rare, caution is in order, because anytime you have a wound with a foreign body in it, like a penile implant, it takes fewer bacteria to cause an infection than in a simple incision without a foreign body,

With semirigid implant surgery, you might have a general, local or spinal anesthetic, depending on your general health and the preferences of your doctor. In any case, you won’t experience pain during the procedure, although with a local anesthetic you might feel some pulling and pressure.
