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…
Background: Testicular enhancement is a conceptually different procedure from testicular replacement. Replacement is a reconstructive procedure to implant a substitute for what has been lost. Enhancement is to enlarge the appearance of testicles that are intact…small but present. Both younger and older men present for testicular enhancement but often for slightly different reasons. The older Read More…
Testicular implants are the smallest aesthetic body implant. Despite its small size it shares several features to that of another body implant that is far more commonly used, breast implants. The similarities may not seem obvious and the implant compositions are different. (testicle implants are soft solid implants while breast implants are soft gel-filled implants) Read More…
Background: Enlargement of the testicles involves the placement of an implant. Testicular enlargement is different than testicular replacement in that a testicle is in place and the space it occupies is requested to the enlarged. This can be done by one of two methods, side by side implant placement and wrapping the existing the testicle Read More…
