Am I A Good Candidate For Custom Wrap Around Testicle Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like to inquire about the procedure for custom wrap-around testicular implants. I currently have two testicles, each approximately 7 ml in volume. I previously underwent an unsuccessful procedure in which implants were placed in front of the testicles; however, they were later removed for aesthetic reasons.

A:In a scrotum that has prior surgery you are not a great candidate for the wrap around implant concept which has its own risks of postoperative implant disengagement from the testicles. That risk escalates considerably in prior implanted scrotums and those are risks I will not undertake.
