Background: Testicular enhancement is most commonly done by a side to side implant displacement method. With this approach a custom testicle implant is used that is bigger than the natural testicles. This is effective by becoming the most dominant structure seen in the scrotum through displacement of the natural testicles upward towards the inguinal canal. Read More…
Custom designed implants offer the capability of a much larger testicle size than what one has naturally or can be achieved with any standard implant. But as the implant size ascends above the maximum standard dimensions of 5.0cms the scrotum is going to get tighter from the increase in implant volume. This will be of Read More…
Testicle implants are most commonly done historically for replacement of a lost testicle. Their placement is uncomplicated because there is a already an open incision that was needed for the removal of the natural testicle. This is usually more than adequate given the implant sizes that are needed for replacement. (5cms of less) But in Read More…
Custom testicle implants have become popular for a variety of reasons, some recognized and others not. The most obvious reason for their use is that they provide sizes that are not available with the use of standard testicles implants which stop at 5.0cm sizes. They can also be made in various 3D dimensions that go Read More…
Background: The testicles are the major component of the scrotal sac whose sole function is to contain them and help regulate their temperature for viable sperm production. But beyond this function their aesthetic value is in their size which adds volume to the skin sac. The normal testicle size ranges from 3.5 to 5.5cms in Read More…
Testicular enhancement refers to making the existing size of the testicles larger. The testicles remain in place but their size appears bigger. There are multiple aesthetic procedures to try and achieve this effect from injectable materials to implants. While implants produce the most consistent and assured effect there are two methods to do so. The Read More…
Background: While testicle implants have been available and used for decades their aesthetic effects have not always been good. I have seen and replaced many testicle implants placed for reconstruction and the reasons for replacement have always been the same. It is a classic triad of symptoms that includes implants that are too small, too Read More…
Testicular enhancement refers specifically to the enlargement of a pair of existing testicles. This is very different than testicular replacement where a space in the scrotum has usually been pre-established (from yje most testicle) and the exact size of the implant needed is known given the presence of the opposite remaining testicle. Working with existing Read More…
Background: The empty scrotal syndrome (ESS) is an aesthetic description for when the male scrotum has no visible testicles even though they are present. This can occur for the obvious reason that the testicles are either undescended or are very small due to atrophy from aging or hormonal supplementation. A less common reason is testicular Read More…
Testicle implants have two roles in improving the appearance of the scrotal sac, replacement and enhancement. Replacement is the historic use of testicle implants and is used when a testicle has been lost either through removal form traumatic or pathologic reasons or for one that has never developed or descended. Conversely testicular enhancement is when Read More…
