Scrotal Reconstruction
Building the Scrotum is a surgical procedure designed to reconstruct or enhance the scrotal area, improving its appearance and functionality. This process may involve tissue grafting, insertion of prosthetics for volume, and shaping techniques to achieve a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing result.
Every human is different. The surgery process and procedures we offer may change depending on your case.
What is Scrotal Reconstruction?
Scrotal reconstruction is a surgical procedure that aims to restore or create the appearance of the scrotum. This procedure is typically performed for men who have experienced scrotal deformities or absence due to congenital conditions, trauma, cancer treatment (such as testicular cancer), or other medical reasons. Scrotal reconstruction can involve the creation of a new scrotum or the restoration of a normal appearance to the existing scrotal area. In some cases, the procedure may also address functional issues related to the testes, such as support or protection.
Scrotal reconstruction can have a significant psychological and emotional impact, helping men regain confidence and feel more comfortable with their bodies. It is often a part of gender affirmation surgery or post-cancer treatment, providing a more natural look and feel for individuals who have undergone testicular removal (orchiectomy).
What are the Advantages of Scrotal Reconstruction?
Scrotal reconstruction offers several benefits for men seeking to restore the appearance and function of their scrotum:
- Restoration of Appearance: Scrotal reconstruction helps create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing scrotum, restoring symmetry and improving overall body image.
- Enhanced Comfort: For men who have experienced discomfort or asymmetry due to congenital defects, trauma, or surgery, scrotal reconstruction can provide greater comfort and support.
- Psychological Well-Being: This procedure can have a positive impact on self-esteem, body image, and sexual confidence, helping individuals feel more at ease with their bodies.
- Improved Function: In some cases, scrotal reconstruction can also provide functional benefits, such as providing better protection for the testes or restoring support.
- Customization: The procedure is highly customizable and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, including the use of prosthetic testicles if needed.
Who is Suitable for Scrotal Reconstruction?
Scrotal reconstruction may be suitable for men who:
- Have Experienced Trauma or Injury: Men who have suffered from scrotal injuries, such as from accidents, may benefit from this procedure to restore the appearance and function of their scrotum.
- Have Undergone Orchiectomy: Men who have had one or both testes removed due to medical conditions, such as testicular cancer, and wish to restore the appearance of the scrotum.
- Are Looking for Gender Affirmation Surgery: Transgender men may opt for scrotal reconstruction as part of their gender affirmation surgery to achieve a more masculine appearance and feel.
- Have Congenital Conditions: Men born with conditions that affect the scrotum or testicles, such as scrotal agenesis (absence of the scrotum), may seek this procedure for a functional and aesthetic restoration.
- Have Realistic Expectations: It is important that patients have realistic expectations about the outcome, understanding that while scrotal reconstruction can restore appearance and functionality, it may not fully replicate the natural scrotum.
How Does Scrotal Reconstruction Work? Procedure Explained Step by Step
- Consultation: The first step is a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon or urologist specializing in genital reconstruction. During this consultation, the doctor will assess your condition, discuss your goals, and explain the available treatment options.
- Pre-Procedure Preparation: Before surgery, the doctor will provide instructions on how to prepare. This may include stopping certain medications, ensuring good overall health, and possibly undergoing imaging tests. A clear understanding of what the surgery entails is provided, so the patient can make an informed decision.
- Surgical Procedure:
- Creation of Scrotal Tissue: Depending on the patient’s specific needs, the surgeon will use tissue from other parts of the body, such as the labia or abdominal tissue, to create the scrotal sac. In some cases, synthetic materials may be used.
- Testicular Implants: If desired or needed, the surgeon can insert prosthetic testicles into the newly created scrotum to restore a natural look and feel. These prosthetics are made of soft, flexible materials and are designed to mimic the appearance and weight of real testicles.
- Symmetry and Shaping: The surgeon carefully sculpts the scrotum to ensure that it looks as natural and symmetrical as possible, taking into consideration the patient's body and aesthetic goals.
- Closure and Healing: Once the scrotum is shaped and any implants are inserted, the incisions are carefully closed. The surgeon ensures that the area is properly stitched to reduce scarring and promote healing.
- Recovery: After surgery, patients are usually required to take a few weeks off to allow for proper healing. Swelling, bruising, and some discomfort are normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medications. It is important to avoid sexual activity and heavy lifting during the recovery period to avoid complications.
- Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure that the scrotum is forming correctly. The doctor will assess the results and address any concerns. If prosthetic testicles were used, the doctor will check their positioning and fit.

Important information!
- Ensure your surgeon is board-certified in plastic surgery or urology and has extensive experience with these procedures.
- Undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you're fit for the surgery. This may include lab tests and a pre-surgical physical examination.
- Quit smoking at least 4-6 weeks before and after surgery as it may create complications and alter the healing process.
- Achieve and maintain a stable weight before surgery. Significant weight fluctuations can affect the results.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support healing.
Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with your doctor to discuss your goals, outcomes. After agreeing on the details, our medical staff schedule your operation day.
- The surgeon delineates the surgical area, carefully marking the scrotum and surrounding regions to guide the reconstruction or enhancement process accurately, aiming for the best aesthetic and functional outcomes.
- The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is asleep and pain-free throughout the surgery.
- An incision is made in the scrotal area or adjacent regions, depending on the specific requirements of the scrotum building procedure. This incision allows the surgeon access to the area for tissue manipulation, grafting, or insertion of prosthetics as needed.
- The surgeon then proceeds to reconstruct or enhance the scrotum, which may involve grafting tissue, creating pouches for testicular prosthesis, or employing other techniques to achieve the desired volume and appearance. This step is carried out with precision to ensure natural-looking results while maintaining the functional aspects of the scrotum.
- If the procedure involves adding prosthetic testicles, these are carefully placed within the created space in the scrotum to simulate the appearance and feel of natural testicles.
- The surgeon meticulously shapes the scrotum to ensure a natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance, securing any prosthetics or grafted tissues in place to prevent shifting and to support the desired outcome.
- The incisions are closed using sutures that either dissolve over time or may need to be removed later, depending on the material used. The suturing technique is chosen to minimize scarring and promote effective healing.
However it's crucial to follow post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure optimal healing and results.
Adhering to the specific guidelines provided by your surgeon is crucial in order to prevent any complications and ensure successful results.
- Use the prescribed pain medications as directed by your surgeon to manage the pain and discomfort in the days following the surgery.
- To decrease swelling and enhance comfort, sleep with your lower body elevated, using pillows to maintain this position and alleviate pressure on the surgical site.
- While sudden movements should be avoided to protect the healing area, gentle walking is encouraged to promote blood circulation, aiding the healing process.
- Your surgeon may advise wearing a specific supportive garment around the scrotum to help minimize swelling, support the newly shaped area, and facilitate proper healing.
- Focus on eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals, especially those that promote wound healing, such as proteins, vitamin C, and zinc. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and exercise until your surgeon gives you the green light.
- Follow your surgeon's advice on bathing and showering. Keeping the incision area clean and dry is essential for preventing infection.
