Testicle Replacement Surgery

What is Testicular implants?

Testicular implants, or testicular prostheses, are devices designed to replace missing or surgically removed testicles. They typically consist of a silicone shell filled with saline (saltwater) or silicone gel to approximate the natural testis’s size, shape, and weight.
The procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia in an operating theatre. It is usually uncomplicated and has a high rate of patient satisfaction. The procedure aims to restore a normal appearance to the scrotum, bringing aesthetic and psychological advantages.

What are some common reasons why patients might need testicular implants?

Some of the common reasons why patients may require testicular implants include:

  • Testicular Cancer: After the removal of a testicle due to cancer, an implant can be placed to help maintain the natural appearance of the scrotum.
  • Undescended Testicle (Cryptorchidism): If a man’s testicle does not descend into the scrotum and must be removed, it can be replaced with a prosthetic one.
  • Trauma or Injury: Implants are functional when severe damage is done to a testicle through accidents or similar events, where it is removed to restore normal appearance and symmetry.
  • Congenital Absence: In some cases, people are born without one or both testicles. In such situations, an individual might get an implant to achieve a more typical appearance.
  • Testicular Torsion: This condition occurs when a testicle twists around itself, cutting off its blood supply, which can lead to the loss of the testicle if not treated in time.
  • Cosmetic or Psychological Reasons: Self-esteem issues may lead some men to seek cosmetic changes, like having a testicular implant after losing a testicle, to improve body image and balance their appearance.
  • Post-Orchiectomy for Other Medical Reasons: After the removal of a testicle due to other health issues (apart from cancer), replacing it with an artificial one can also help maintain the natural appearance of the scrotum.

These devices enable people to regain confidence and live normally, offering aesthetic and psychological advantages.

What are the different types of testicular implants?

Some of the kinds of new implants for testicles are as follows:

  • Saline-filled Implants: A saline-filled testicular implant is natural in terms of softness, weight, and size. This type is filled with a saline solution before being implanted.

  • Soft-Solid Implants: These are cured silicone elastomer-filled prostheses that come in different sizes and are similar to silicone breast implants.

  • Silicone Elastomer Implants: These types are made from thin, smooth-surfaced silicon elastomers that resemble an oval carving block. They’re designed with shapes and densities that imitate real testicles.

The Procedure:

Consultation and Planning:

A pre-consultation appointment with the doctor will be conducted to start the surgery. During this time, you will discuss your objectives, medical background story, and any concerns that may arise. Furthermore, the surgeon will explain what they are going to do during the operation, the different types of implants available, and what happens during recovery.

Anesthesia:

Usually done under general anaesthesia so that you sleep throughout, but in some cases, it can be done using local anaesthesia with sedation.

Incision and Fixing Implant Parts:

A small incision is made on the scrotum where no one can easily spot it later, thus minimising scar visibility. Then, a saline or silicone gel-filled shell, which usually consists of silicon, is carefully positioned by the surgeon into the scrotal sac. The surgeon can either select its size and shape based on how other testicles appear naturally if it is still there or for symmetry-creation purposes.

Closing up:

Afterwards, when everything has settled down enough that no more adjustments need to be made, sutures are used to close up the incision. These stitches dissolve on their own, so nobody has to remove them later without leaving anything behind except healed tissue. The whole process usually takes one hour.

F.A.Q Testicular implant

A testicular implant is a prosthetic device placed in the scrotum to replace a missing or removed testicle, helping to restore a natural appearance.

Common reasons include the removal of a testicle due to cancer, injury, or congenital conditions where a testicle never developed.

The surgery is typically done under general anesthesia, with a small incision made in the scrotum where the implant is placed. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour.

They are usually made of a silicone shell filled with saline (saltwater) or silicone gel, designed to mimic the size, shape, and weight of a natural testicle.

The goal of the implant is to provide a natural look and feel, making it generally unnoticeable under normal circumstances.

As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, implant displacement, or discomfort, but these are relatively very rare.

Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most patients able to return to normal activities within that time. Your doctor will provide specific care instructions.

The implant is purely cosmetic and does not impact sexual function or fertility.

Yes, in cases where both testicles are missing, two implants can be placed.

Testicular implants are designed to be long-lasting.

A testicular implant can help restore the appearance of the scrotum, improve self-esteem, and provide a sense of normalcy after losing a testicle.

Good candidates include men who have lost a testicle due to injury, surgery, or congenital absence and who are in good overall health. Your doctor will evaluate your medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

You will be under anesthesia during the surgery, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal afterward, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days.

While the implant is designed to mimic the size and shape of a natural testicle, it may feel slightly different to the touch. Most men find the difference minimal and not bothersome.

After surgery, you may need to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and sexual activity for a few weeks to allow for proper healing. Your doctor will give you detailed post-operative care instructions.

Yes, testicular implants come in various sizes to match the natural size of your remaining testicle or to create a balanced appearance if both testicles are being replaced.

Follow your doctor’s post-surgery instructions carefully. This typically includes keeping the incision site clean and dry, avoiding certain activities, and possibly wearing supportive underwear to minimize discomfort.

Discuss any concerns with your surgeon before the procedure. They can help set realistic expectations and ensure that the implant size and type chosen are best suited to your body.

Once fully healed, most men can resume all normal activities without any special precautions. However, it’s always wise to avoid any direct trauma to the scrotum.

Yes, testicular implants can often be placed during other surgeries, such as penis enlargement, penis girth enlargement with fat injections,  or other procedures involving the scrotum or groin area.

Many men report improved self-confidence, body image, and overall satisfaction with their appearance after getting a testicular implant.

While a testicular implant is the most common solution, some men may opt not to replace a missing testicle, especially if it was removed for medical reasons. Discuss all options with your doctor.

You should talk about your medical history, any concerns you have about the surgery, your expectations for the implant, and any risks or complications.

A testicular implant does not affect fertility. If one testicle remains, fertility is usually preserved. If both testicles are missing, fertility would be affected regardless of implants.

The surgery has a high success rate, with most men experiencing no complications and being satisfied with the results.

The cost of a testicular implant can vary significantly depending on factors such as the type of implant, the complexity of the surgery, the surgeon's expertise, and the location. In the U.S., the procedure typically costs between $3,000 and $8,000, while in the U.K., it ranges from £2,500 to £6,500. However, at Climax Andrology in Turkey, you can expect the same high-quality surgery and service at a 40-50% lower cost compared to both the U.S. and the U.K., without compromising on the expertise of the surgeons or the standard of care.
