Plastic Surgery Case Study – Testicular Enhancement with Side by Side Custom Testicle Implants Using Preoperative Ultrasound Imaging

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…

Technical Strategies – Implant Sizing in the Side by Side Displacement Testicular Enhancement Method

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Remove and Replace Custom Testicle Implants

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Testicular Enlargement by 6.6cm Custom Testicle Implant Displacement Technique

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Ultrasoft Solid Silicone Testicle Implant Replacement for A Long Indwelling Saline-Filled Testicle Implant

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Custom Large Testicle Implant Replacements To Treat The 4 Pac Standard Testicle Implant Scrotal Appearance

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Solving the Four Pack Testicle Enhancement Result with New Larger Custom Testicle Implants

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – The Side by Side Testicle Implant Method for the Empty Sac Syndrome

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Solid Large Testicle Implant Replacements for Cup Testicle Implants

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…

Plastic Surgery Case Study – Testicle Removals with XL Testicle Implant Replacements due to COVID Induced Inflammatory Reaction to Scrotal Silicone Injections

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…
