If pills and other treatments are not helping your erections anymore, it may be time to think about a more lasting solution. At Happy Urology in Miami, Dr. Gheiler is a leading Miami urologist who focuses on penis implant surgery and advanced erectile dysfunction treatment for men. One of the most trusted penis implants we offer is the AMS 700 implant, a well-known penile implant on the market that can give you a firm erection when you want it. This page explains how the AMS 700 implant works, what happens during penile implant surgery, who it is right for, and what you can expect afterward. Our goal is to help patients with erectile dysfunction understand their choices in clear language so they can decide if this form of penile prostheses is the right next step.
Erectile dysfunction, or ED, means you cannot get or keep an erection firm enough for sex, and it often affects self-esteem and relationships. Many patients with erectile dysfunction also have other health issues, such as diabetic patients with nerve damage or men with heart or blood vessel disease. Most men start with pills, injections, or vacuum devices as treatment for erectile dysfunction, but these options do not always work well or may stop working over time. When that happens, penile implants or other inflatable prosthesis devices can provide a more reliable, private erectile dysfunction treatment that you control. For the right patient characteristics, a penile prosthesis implant can restore confidence, intimacy, and a sense of control over sexual activity.
The AMS 700 implant is an AMS 700™ inflatable penile prosthesis that belongs to a family of inflatable penile prostheses used worldwide. It is a type of AMS 700 IPP inflatable penile implant that is placed fully inside the body and designed to maintain a natural look in both the soft and firm states. This AMS 700 penile implant is part of the AMS 700 cylinder models line, which lets your doctor choose the best size and shape for your needs.
In simple terms, the device is made up of soft cylinders in patients with corporal tissue inside the penis, a small pump in the scrotum, and a hidden fluid reservoir in the lower abdomen. Because the penile prosthesis in patients is fully internal, people around you will not see any visible parts or know that you have had penile prosthesis implantation unless you tell them. Many men choose this kind of penile implant because it feels more natural and gives them control over when an erection starts and stops.
The AMS penile implant works like a small fluid system that you control with your hand, and many doctors call it an inflatable penile prosthesis or AMS 700 inflatable penile prosthesis. When you want an erection, you feel for the pump in your scrotum and squeeze it several times, which moves fluid into each cylinder inside the penis. This simple action inflates the device so that the penis becomes firm enough for sexual activity and can help protect penile length in men who are worried about loss of penile length from ED. When you are finished, you press the release button to deflate the device, and the fluid returns to the reservoir so the penis can deflate and relax again. Because the system is designed to maintain a natural look and feel, many men say their AMS 700 inflatable penile prosthesis feels very close to a normal erection.
The AMS 700 family includes several models, such as the AMS 700 LGX and AMS 700 CX, so your Miami urologist can choose the best fit for your body. The LGX model is designed to allow both girth and penile length changes when it is inflated, while the CX model focuses on even firmness along the shaft. Many men also hear about the new AMS 700 momentary squeeze design, which uses an easy hand pump, so the AMS 700 momentary squeeze inflatable system is simple to learn. In everyday speech, some men describe this as a 700 momentary squeeze inflatable penile device that helps them feel more in control during intimacy. Because this AMS penile implant is a leading implant on the market, many urologists in Miami view it as one of the most trusted forms of penile prostheses for men with serious ED. For men comparing options, it is often seen as a top penile implant on the market because it blends a natural look with a long track record of safety.
One of the biggest benefits of the AMS 700 implant is dependable firmness whenever you want to be intimate, without needing to plan around pills or devices. Studies looking at patients who received an AMS device, including patients who received an AMS 700 penile implant system, often report strong outcomes and patient satisfaction with the 700 as an erectile dysfunction treatment. In many reports, patient and partner feedback shows high patient and partner satisfaction, and a large number of men say they would recommend a penile implant to a friend facing the same problem.
Research that compares different penile prostheses used in replacement surgery suggests that antibiotic-impregnated penile prostheses used during the first procedure can help lower problems due to infection and improve long-term infection outcomes after original implant surgery and later prostheses used in replacement implant cases.
Because of this history of physician and patient satisfaction and partner satisfaction with 700CX models, many experts feel satisfied with the new AMS designs, such as the new AMS 700 inflatable penile systems, and patient satisfaction with these new devices has continued to improve over time. Taken together, this pattern of patient satisfaction, partner feedback, and clinical safety helps explain why this inflatable prosthesis remains a trusted choice for men and couples who want a long-term solution.
The AMS penile implant is usually recommended for patients with erectile dysfunction who do not get good results from pills, injections, or vacuum devices. It can also be a strong option for diabetic patients, men who have had prostate surgery, or men with pelvic injuries that affect blood flow and nerves.
Good candidates are healthy enough for implant surgery and understand that penile prosthesis surgery is usually a long-term choice that replaces natural erections with a device. During your visit, your doctor will review your health history, patient characteristics, and goals to decide if penile prosthesis insertion or another procedure fits your needs.
At Happy Urology, Dr. Gheiler takes time to explain the details of penile prosthesis placement so you know exactly what will happen before you agree to penile prosthesis surgery.
Like any operation, penile implant surgery has risks, and you should understand them clearly before you decide to move ahead. Possible problems following implantation include infection, bleeding, pain, scarring inside the penis, or mechanical issues with the implant. In rare cases, a penile prosthesis implant may need to be removed or replaced if the device fails or if serious problems occur following penile healing.
Once surgery is performed and the implant is in place, you will no longer be able to have a natural erection without the device, so you should think of this as a permanent solution. Most men can return to light activity fairly soon, and many can resume sexual activity after their Miami urologist confirms that the area has healed well and the prosthesis is working as planned.
AMS 700 penile prosthesis surgery is usually done in a hospital or surgery center under anesthesia, so you will be asleep and comfortable while the surgery is performed. During penile prosthesis implantation, your doctor places the cylinders inside the penis, the pump in the scrotum, and the reservoir in the lower abdomen through small incisions.
You may stay in the hospital for a short time or go home the same day, depending on your overall health and how the implant surgery goes. Some soreness and swelling are normal at first and are usually managed with pain medicine, rest, and careful follow-up with your urologist. Over the next few weeks, Dr. Gheiler will teach you how to inflate and deflate the device and will guide you on when it is safe to begin using it for sexual activity.
Many insurance plans, including some Medicare and private plans, may cover penile implant surgery when it is considered medically necessary as treatment for erectile dysfunction. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs can vary, so the Happy Urology team aims to streamline the patient journey and the patient experience by helping you check your benefits and understand your choices.
While penis implant surgery is a bigger one-time expense than taking pills, many men feel it offers strong long-term value because a trusted implant on the market can be used for many years. The AMS 700 implant and related AMS 700 devices are designed to last a long time, although no device can be guaranteed for life. During your consultation, we will talk about payment options, insurance, and how this inflatable penile implant fits into your long-term plan to manage ED.
Choosing the right surgeon is just as important as choosing the right AMS penile implant. At Happy Urology, Dr. Gheiler focuses on penis implants and male sexual health, and he has helped many men from Miami and beyond regain confidence after erectile dysfunction. Our clinic looks at each case as a comparison of the patient's goals and medical needs, not just the device, so your plan is built around what you want from surgery.
Because we stay current with every new AMS 700 model and every major penile implant on the market, we can explain which option is likely to work best in your situation. When you choose an experienced team of urologists in Miami who understand both the devices and the emotional side of ED, you give yourself the best chance for a safe procedure and a satisfying outcome.

The first step is a private visit with Dr. Gheiler at Happy Urology, where we will review your health, discuss your goals, and explain how penile prosthesis placement works from start to finish.

Most AMS implant devices are designed to last for many years, and many men use their implant for a decade or longer. Over time, like any medical device, parts can wear out or stop working as well. If that happens, the implant can often be replaced with another surgery, sometimes during the same penile prosthesis surgery session as other repairs. Regular follow-up visits with your Miami urologist help catch any issues early and keep the implant working well. During your visit, Dr. Gheiler will explain what kind of outcomes and patient satisfaction have been seen in long-term studies and what signs you should watch for over time.
Because the AMS 700 system is a fully internal penile prosthesis implant, nothing is visible outside your body. The pump is hidden inside the scrotum, and the cylinders are inside the penis, so most people will not notice anything different in daily life. When the implant is not inflated, the penis looks soft and natural in clothing and at rest. Only you and your medical team need to know that you had penile implant surgery, unless you choose to share that information. Many men feel more at ease knowing their ED treatment is private and under their control.
For most men, the AMS 700 penile implant does not change their ability to feel touch on the penis or to reach orgasm. The device provides firmness, but your nerves and sensation usually stay the same as before surgery. If you were able to have an orgasm before, you will often be able to have one after the implant, unless another medical condition affects this. The implant also does not change your ability to ejaculate unless a prior surgery, such as prostate removal, has already changed that. Physician and patient satisfaction reports often note that both erection quality and overall sexual activity improve after penile prosthesis placement.
Most men need several weeks to heal before using the implant for sexual activity. Your urologist will check your incisions and comfort level during follow-up visits and may adjust the plan based on your healing. When swelling and soreness have improved, your doctor will teach you how to inflate and deflate your AMS 700 implant safely. Many men can resume sexual activity around four to six weeks after penile implant surgery, but timing can be different for each person. You should always wait for your surgeon's approval before trying intercourse so that healing following implantation is complete.
The AMS 700 implant is different from pills, injections, or vacuum devices because it is placed inside the body and works on demand. You do not have to plan ahead for a dose or carry supplies with you, and you have control over when and how long you have an erection. Many men feel that the AMS 700 inflatable penile systems offer a more natural-feeling and reliable erection compared to other methods of ED treatment. Reports of patient and partner satisfaction and high patient satisfaction with the new devices show a strong comparison of the patient experience with older models.
At Happy Urology, Dr. Gheiler will compare all of your ED options and help you decide if penis implant surgery with an AMS 700 inflatable penile prosthesis is the best choice for your needs.
