Can I Get Testicle Implants and Fat Injections Into My Scrotum?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  I’d like to have a consult on both testicle (Wrapped around my own testicles) implants up to 7.5 cm and fat transfer into the scrotum procedures … purely for cosmetic visual / self improvement. I’m 5’9″ 185 lbs age Caucasian male with an average penis size.

A:Despite having developed the wrap around testicle implant concept I am not its biggest proponent. While the concept has merit and it is most appropriately considered in the younger patient with average sized testicles it does have postoperative problems. The issue is that there is not an insignificant long-term risk of Implant separation from the natural testicle. Having tried numerous technical variations that issue has not been completely eliminated or reduced to the level that I feel the implant concept should be widely used. As a result I reserve its use in patients who are the most motivated by being willing to except that risk. The one factor that seems to have the greatest benefit in reducing that risk is to match the inner chamber of the custom wraparound implants with measurements of the patient’s natural testicles on ultrasound.

Both Fat injections into the scrotum and testicle implants can not be done at the same time, If you get large enough testicle implants there would be no need for fat injections anyway.
