The testicles are a unique anatomic structure in the scrotum. They are basically oblong firm structures that are suspended inside the scrotal tissues by a neuromuscular cord and enveloping fascia. Despite having an attached cord the testicles are relatively free floating which is a necessary feature given their location between the inner thighs. The most common Read More…
Background: The current state of testicle implants is closely tied to that of breast implants. When the silicone breast implant moratorium was instituted in 1991 that also applied to every other aesthetic body implant that was composed of silicone gel. Away went silicone testicle implants and the search for an FDA-approved replacement took over a Read More…
Enlargement of the size of the testicles for aesthetic purposes can only be achieved with implants. Such testicle implants can be placed in either a side by side technique or as a wrap around implant. Each has their advantages and disadvantages as well as indications.The primary indication for the wraparound implant is when one’s natural Read More…
Testicular implant enhancement differs from testicular implant replacement in that one’s natural testicles are present. Making them bigger for aesthetic purposes involves one of two techniques based on the residual size of the testicles. If the testicles are small (3.5cms or less) then a side by side method can be used which is effective as Read More…
Custom testicle implants are, by definition, implants that are both larger in size and composed of ultrasoft solid silicone. Such implants are usually in the size range of 6.0 to 7.5cm in size which are beyond standard sizes only available up to 5.0cms. In placing these larger testicle implants there are multiple technical details to Read More…

When used for cosmetic testicular enlargement they are designed to supplement two indwelling natural testicles. This can be done either by a side by side implant technique or a Read More…
Background: The removal of a testicle in a child, teenager or adult is done for a variety of medical reasons. The three Ts (trauma, tumors and torsion) make up the major reasons for an often urgent need for removal of a testicle. Its replacement is usually not done at the removal due to swelling, the Read More…
Background: There are numerous medical reasons why a young male may have undergone testicle removal. Trauma and testicular torsion usually top the list and in these circumstances removal is unavoidable. Once fully recovered one has the option of either living with one testicle or replacing the lost one. It is impossible to know how many Read More…
Background: While the normal size range of the male testicle is known, there is no aesthetic relationship measurement between the size of the penis and that of the scrotum that hangs beneath it. Certainly the two create an overall aesthetic unit (penile-scrotal complex) but the exact proportionate relationship between the two has never been studied. Read More…
The male scrotum is an infrequently addressed aesthetic area in both the medical literature and in clinical practice. Men can be bothered by the shape of their scrotum for two primary reasons, scrotal laxity/sag and lack of adequate scrotal volume. (due to small testicular size) Scrotal laxity is typically seen as excessive and low hanging Read More…
