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…
Background: Testicular enhancement is a different implant technique than testicular replacement. In the latter the implant acts to replace a testicle that has been lost. Conversely in testicular enhancement the native testicles remain present nd the goal is to make them appear bigger. To do so two methods exist, a wrap around implant and a Read More…
Background: Aging affects all body structures and the testicles are no exception. Testicular size does change with aging in the smaller direction. The natural effects of aging on testicle size can be increased by the hormonal influence of testosterone which is a frequent older male supplement. Once testicle size gets small enough the scrotum can Read More…
Background: Testicular enhancement is different than testicular replacement surgery. One is aesthetic and the other is reconstructive. One uses the opposite normal intact testicle as the exact size of the replacement while the other uses the size of both natural testicles to determine how to make an implant to enhance its size. One of two Read More…
Background: Silicone injections to the genitals (penis and scrotum) is a known method for aesthetic enlargement of these genital structures. While not an FDA-approved procedure or injection material it is often done outside the U.S.. Such silicone injections create their effect as the material is non-resorbable. The body has no known enzymes to break the Read More…
Improvements have been made to testicle implants over the past few years for their aesthetic enhancements. Larger sizes are now available that go beyond the standard 5.0 size that used to be he largest size available. Custom implant designing makes any implant size and shape possible. While the most testicle implants are oblong with a Read More…
