Inflatable Penile Implant — Patient Accounts
"I had radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in 2021 and spent two years trying everything — injections, shockwave, oral medications. None worked for post-nerve-damage ED. I found MenPower through a men's health forum. The pre-consult with Dr. Kwon was the first time a doctor was completely straight with me about what an implant would and wouldn't do — he said my expectations about length were slightly off, corrected them calmly, and we went ahead. Surgery was 80 minutes. Week 2 was uncomfortable but manageable. The 6-week mark was remarkable — functionally better than I'd been since before the prostatectomy."
"The cost difference from quotes I got in Houston to what MenPower charged was $14,000 on the same AMS 700 device with the same lifetime warranty. I was skeptical about Korea until I looked at what KHIDI registration actually involves. The pre-op video call with Dr. Kwon resolved every concern. Week one was harder than expected — the swelling alarmed me — but the recovery guide said it would peak days 2–3 and it did. The 90-day follow-up call at week 12 confirmed everything was working as it should. Cost including flights and 10-day hotel: still 40% less than the US quote."
Prostate Treatment — Patient Accounts
"NHS waiting list for UroLift in the UK was 14 months. I'd been on tamsulosin for three years. Dr. Kwon's pre-consult was efficient — he reviewed my TRUS and IPSS score and confirmed I was a good UroLift candidate. The procedure itself was 28 minutes. The first 72 hours had worse urgency than before — the guide warned me this was typical and it resolved by day 5. At week 4, IPSS dropped from 22 to 9. Ejaculation preserved. Back to playing squash at week 4. The whole trip including flights and 7 nights in a Seomyeon hotel cost less than the private UK UroLift quote alone."
"I was referred by my Canadian urologist to consider HoLEP for a large prostate but the wait was 8 months and the cost in the private Ontario system was significant. I contacted MenPower. Dr. Kwon looked at my TRUS volume (75mL) and recommended TURP over UroLift — he said the median lobe was the issue and UroLift isn't ideal for that anatomy. That kind of honest recommendation mattered to me. I had one night in hospital, catheter out on day 2, flew home day 8. Retrograde ejaculation as expected — he'd explained this in full before surgery. IPSS at 3 months: 7 (from 25 pre-op)."
Vasectomy Reversal — Patient Accounts
"Vasectomy was 6 years ago, new partner, new situation. New Zealand private surgeon quoted NZD 14,000 for reversal. MenPower quoted $3,200 USD including the potential EV upgrade if needed on the table — that transparency appealed to me. Flew into Busan, surgery same day as arrival (pre-consult was by video 6 weeks earlier). Dr. Kwon confirmed vasovasostomy was appropriate intraoperatively. 5-day stay. Semen analysis at 3 months: 18 million/mL, 45% motility. We're expecting."
"Dr. Kwon was honest before surgery: at 11 years, EV was a real possibility and success rates would be lower — he gave me the data table. It was EV on both sides. 8 months post-surgery, first motile sperm appeared in semen analysis at our local fertility clinic. My wife is now 14 weeks pregnant via natural conception. Dr. Kwon was careful to say at the time that 8 months was within the normal window, not a late failure. Managing that expectation correctly made a difficult waiting period much less stressful."
