What Type of Testicle Implant Do I Need?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had an undescended testicle brought down when I was a child. As a result of this both testicles are undersized and the right testicle is very small. I am seeking to get prosthetics as the two native testicles are tiny. I have just had an ultrasound and hormone panel taken. So, a double prosthesis that allows both native testicles to stay, for cosmetic reasons as its unliveable with the diminished size. Can you advise

A:  Based on the information provided, it is likely that the smallest testicle would be displaced by a side-by-side implant. In your normal size testicle the interesting debate will be between a wraparound versus a displacement technique. To help with that decision, I would need to know based on your ultrasound, the exact measurements of both testicles.
