Do I Need To Come To See You For Measurements for Custom Testicle Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I wanted to ask a few questions before I schedule a virtual appointment. I’m interested in wraparound testicle implants, but I’m from Poland and if those are custom, I guess I would have to come to the clinic to measure everything or is there another way to do this ? Next thing is, I would have to do blood tests of course, could I do them in Poland and send them to you via email or should it be done right before procedure and here is my next question, if some of the results came back not so good would this disqualify my from the procedure ?

A:I shy away from using wraparound implants in testicular enhancements due to the risks of postoperative separation. I prefer the side by side technique where that risk does not exist. Those seizes are based on an estimate of your natural testcile size which can learned from measurements or an ultrasound.

Whether blood tests are required before surgery depends on your age and your health…none of which I currently know.
