Can An XXY Patients Get Custom Testicle Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am the not-so-proud owner of some XXY testicles and one very large empty sac. I swear, I am the typical 70s Ken doll with a nub. While the testicles work modestly, I’ll never want to parade around in a speedo. I’m wondering if you have done the envelope testicles for an XXY patient.

A: The wrap around or envelope testicle implant have their issues with the risk of eventual separation. Thus I prefer the side by side technique which overwhelms the naturally small testicles and never has a separation issue. The key is a large enough custom testicle implant, usually 6.0cm or greater.
