What is Scrotoplasty?

Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, reconstruct, or enhance the scrotum, which is the pouch of skin that holds the testicles. It may be performed for medical, functional, or cosmetic reasons. Some people choose scrotoplasty to correct conditions like a scrotal hernia, excessive or sagging scrotal skin, or to improve comfort and appearance. Others may need the procedure as part of gender-affirming surgery or reconstructive surgery after trauma or previous operations. During the procedure, the surgeon can tighten loose skin, remove excess tissue, or reshape the scrotal area to achieve a more natural, symmetrical, and comfortable result. The surgery is typically done under local or general anesthesia, and recovery is usually quick with proper care.

Why Do People Consider Scrotoplasty?​​​​

• 1. Cosmetic Reasons:

• To achieve a tighter, more youthful appearance of the scrotum

• To enhance body confidence or self-image

• To correct visible bulging or wrinkling that may cause embarrassment or self-consciousness

• To restore a more natural or symmetrical look after testicular implant placement or previous surgeries

• 2. Functional Reasons:

• To correct excessively sagging scrotal skin that causes discomfort while walking, sitting, or during physical activity

• To treat scrotal lymphedema or swelling that interferes with daily hygiene or mobility

• To repair trauma, injury, or previous surgical complications affecting the scrotum

• As part of gender affirming surgery in transgender individuals (creating or reconstructing a scrotum)

• To address scrotal asymmetry or deformity from birth defects or medical conditions

• To improve comfort during sexual activity or wearing tight clothing

What is the suitable age group for Scrotoplasty?

Scrotoplasty is generally recommended for adults aged 18 and above, as it involves personal, physical, and sometimes emotional considerations that require mature understanding and consent. The procedure may be performed in younger individuals only if there’s a medical condition—such as a congenital deformity or trauma—that affects daily life and requires correction. In most cases, men consider scrotoplasty in their 20s to 50s, often due to excessive sagging, discomfort, or aesthetic concerns. It is also commonly sought by transgender individuals undergoing gender-affirming surgery or men who’ve had testicular implants. There is no strict upper age limit, as long as the person is in good health and the procedure offers a clear functional or psychological benefit.

How long does recovery take for Scrotoplasty?

Recovery after scrotoplasty typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual’s healing process. In the first few days, mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but usually well-managed with medications and proper rest. Most patients can return to light activities within 5 to 7 days, but it's important to avoid strenuous activity, cycling, or sexual intercourse for at least 3 to 4 weeks to allow proper healing. Wearing supportive underwear, keeping the area clean and dry, and following all post-operative care instructions can speed up recovery and reduce the risk of complications. Full healing, including final cosmetic results, is usually seen in 4 to 6 weeks.

Tests Requirements

Before undergoing scrotoplasty, a few essential medical tests are done to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for the patient. These typically include basic blood tests to check hemoglobin levels, blood sugar, and clotting ability, as these help evaluate the body’s healing capacity. A urine test is often done to rule out infections. Standard viral marker screening including HIV, HBsAg (Hepatitis B), and HCV (Hepatitis C) is commonly required, especially before any surgery under anesthesia. In adult patients or those with existing medical conditions, an ECG (electrocardiogram) and sometimes a chest X-ray may also be requested to assess heart and lung health. These tests help ensure a smooth and low-risk surgical experience.
