Does My Scrotum Have Enough Stretch To Accommodate 6cm Testicle Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have been on testosterone replacement for ~25 years and have atrophied testicles. I was interested in the wrap around technique; however, after reviewing blog entries, due to the small size of my testes side by side implants would be appropriate. I would be surprised if my right, and larger of the 2, testicle is even 2.5 cm in largest diameter. 

I am concerned that with the degree of atrophy that my scrotum has shrunk considerably as well which may limit the size of implants that can be used. I would want the largest implants up to 6 cm that could safely be used. 

A: With your small testicle size you have correctly assumed that the side by side technique is the best testicular enlargement method. I see no problems with placing 6cm size implants as the scrotal tissues are very elastic. This procedure is done under general anesthesia.
