Introduction There are two primary implant concepts used for testicular enlargement: wraparound implants and side by side (displacement) implants. The side?by?side technique uses a solid testicular implant placed adjacent to the natural testicle. Implant size is determined by how much volume is required to adequately displace the native testicle. The wrap?around technique uses an implant Read More…
Hollow chamber testicle implants are a newer variation of testicular prostheses designed to feel more natural and reduce some drawbacks of traditional solid implants. What they are Instead of being completely solid (usually low durometer silicone elastomer), hollow chamber implants have a small internal cavity. The outer shell is still medical-grade silicone, but the hollow interior allows the Read More…
Custom testicular implants are an appropriate and commonly considered solution for men with atrophied testicles, particularly when standard off-the-shelf implants do not provide adequate size or shape. These implants are most often used for aesthetic enhancement using a displacement, side-by-side technique. The success of this approach relies on the implants being large enough to visually Read More…
Testicle implants are used in two different clinical situations. The traditional use is in reconstruction of a lost testicle where a natural testicle remains on one side and the implant on the other. From a pure esthetic standpoint they can be used for testicular enhancement, making the natural testicles look bigger. This is done by Read More…
Hollow-chamber testicle implants are a specialized implant design developed to address two distinct clinical goals, depending on the size and function of the internal chamber. What They Are Constructed from a silicone elastomer shell Contain an internal hollow chamber, which varies in size based on intended use There are two primary designs: Small-Chamber Hollow Implant Read More…
Introduction A silicone testicle implant is a soft, solid, medical-grade silicone prosthesis placed inside the scrotum to replace a missing testicle or to enhance testicular volume. They are commonly used for: Cosmetic testicular enlargement Post-orchiectomy replacement (cancer, torsion, trauma, undescended testicle) Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) Correction of congenital asymmetry or atrophy These implants are solid, not Read More…
What Are Custom Testicle Implants? Custom testicular implants are individually designed silicone implants created when standard, off-the-shelf testicle prostheses don’t achieve the desired shape, size, or fit. They are most commonly used for: Congenital absence of one or both testicles Testicular removal after cancer or trauma Gender-affirming surgery Revision of unsatisfactory results from standard implants Read More…
Introduction Two main types of testicular implants are currently available for replacing lost or removed testicles: Saline-filled implants — silicone-shell devices filled with sterile salt water. Solid silicone implants — also known as “ultrasoft” or “gummy bear–type” implants, made entirely of solid silicone and not fluid-filled. The term silicone in this context refers to the Read More…
Introduction Testicular enhancement surgery aims to increase the visible size of the testicles within the scrotum using implants. The goal is to create the appearance of a single pair of enlarged testicles—those being the implants themselves. This is best achieved using a displacement technique, in which the implants are large enough to camouflage or displace Read More…
Introduction Testicular enhancement aims to increase the visible size of the testicles within the scrotum. This is most effectively achieved using an implant shaped like a natural testicle. Such implants can be used in two main ways: Wrap-around augmentation, in which the implant envelops the natural testicle to enlarge its apparent size. Side-by-side (displacement) placement, Read More…
