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…
Background: Like many body structures aging affects their appearance over time. The male scrotum is no exception. As an envelope of skin, fascia and muscle that surrounds the dangling testicles the influence of a lifetime of friction between the thighs and the effects of gravity are bound to affect the scrotal appearance. But the biggest Read More…
Background: One technique of testicular enhancement is known as a side by side displacement method. In this approach testicle implants are placed below the existing testicles in the scrotum which, by by their size, becomes the dominant structure seen…hiding or displacing the smaller natural testicles. An approach which on the surface seems unlikely to work Read More…
Testicular enhancement is an aesthetic procedure which increases the appearance of the size of the testicles and scrotum. This is different than testicular reconstruction/replacement where one or both testicles are or are about to be missing. Enhancement refers to increasing the size of the indwelling testicles, whether they are of normal size or have shrunk Read More…
Background: In aesthetic testicle implant enhancements custom implants are almost always needed. As the largest standard testicle implant is 5.0cms, any size larger requires a custom implant design. These custom implants are made of an ultrasoft solid testicle implant material whose softness is based on the durometer (cross-linking) of the material during manufacture. But as Read More…
Background: Testicular enhancement is an aesthetic approach to increasing the appearance of the size of the testicles. Conceptually this could mean actually increasing the size of the testicles directly by placing implants around them or placing an implant that assumes the appearance of new larger testicles. Historically the direct implant approach to testicular enlargement has Read More…
Background: Somewhat similar to breast implants testicle implants are available in either saline or silicone compositions. What differentiates silicone breast implants from silicone testicle implants is that in the breast the silicone implant is a gel-filled bag vs in the scrotum the implant is solid silicone. While solid silicone will always feels a bit firmer Read More…
Background: In penile enlargements it is not uncommon to augment the underlying scrotum either at the same time or secondarily to maintain penile-scrotal proportions. In testicular size enhancements there are two different implant approaches, side by side and some form of wrap around implant. Each has their advantages and disadvantages and neither approach is perfect. Read More…
