Aesthetic testicular augmentation with implants is requested by men who come to the Yuveo Clinic to have their testicles enlarged because they have lost a significant amount of size and volume due to hormone therapy or natural ageing, for example.
We are able to improve the aesthetic appearance of the testicles so that our patients feel comfortable with them.
Today, the selection of testicular implants offers innovative shapes, sizes and materials (silicone) that allow us to realize our patients’ individual wishes.
With the wrap-around method for aesthetic testicular augmentation with implants, we are able to restore volume to the testicles and mimic their natural shape and size.
The wrap-around implant is an innovative concept for aesthetic testicular augmentation.

OP preparation
The following must be observed during preparation for surgery:
We recommend that you avoid nicotine and alcohol consumption for 4 weeks before the operation.
Before the surgical procedure, please treat your genital area with an antibiotic ointment to prevent inflammation.
Operation details
In this procedure, the wrap-around implant is placed around the existing testicle. We use it to enclose the existing testicle.
The implant that we use for aesthetic testicular augmentation is hollow in the middle and has an opening at one end. This is where the neurovascular cord can emerge.
The existing testicle sits inside the implant chamber.
The inner volume of the chamber corresponds to the patient’s natural testicle size. The outer diameter of the testicular implant corresponds to the desired enlargement.
The operation for aesthetic testicular augmentation with implant involves two surgical phases: First, we surgically open the scrotum and then implant it.
We use a special suture to create a secure testicle-implant connection.
OP phase 1
First, we open the scrotum and prepare the existing testicle to receive the implant.
OP phase 2
We place the wrap-around implant around the testicle and fix it with fine surgical sutures. We guide the neurovascular cord out of the opening.
In addition, we ensure a balanced aesthetic relationship between the testicles and penis that you will feel comfortable with.
Frequently asked questions about aesthetic testicular augmentation with implants
Why do men want aesthetic testicular augmentation with implants?
This mainly concerns men who have testicles, but they are usually small and not very pronounced. The desire is to increase the volume of the testicles to give them a natural size and aesthetic appearance.
Men who have smaller testicles, for example after cancer treatment or due to natural ageing, may wish to have them permanently enlarged.
When are the results of aesthetic testicular augmentation with a wrap-around implant visible?
After a quarter of a year postoperatively, everything has healed well and the newly formed testicle size is optimally visible thanks to the aesthetic testicular augmentation with implant.
How durable is the surgical result?
This is a permanent aesthetic improvement of the testicular volume.
With optimal results, the implant can remain in place for a lifetime.
What complications can occur?
Like any surgical procedure, aesthetic testicular augmentation with implants involves risks. Our Yuveo team will provide you with detailed information about this in advance.
In addition to the general risks of a surgical procedure, there is something else to mention in this particular case:
With the wrap-around technique, in which we wrap the testicle with an implant, there is a risk of prolapse. This means that the testicle slips out of the implant.
We use special suturing techniques to hold the testicle in place, thus strengthening the testicle-implant connection and reducing this risk to an absolute minimum.
In addition, during implantation we must ensure that the neurovascular cord emerging from the opening is not compressed.
In addition, fluid accumulation may occur postoperatively, which we will take into account and treat during aftercare.
Are there any contraindications for aesthetic testicular augmentation with implants?
During the consultation and anamnesis, we have the opportunity to identify or rule out contraindications.
The following contraindications must be taken into account for this procedure:
- The surgical site must be free of inflammation. There must also be no circulatory disorder.
- Have you already had surgery on your testicles? Then our team of surgeons must clarify in advance whether an aesthetic testicular augmentation with implant is possible for you.
For which testicle size is this testicular augmentation procedure suitable?
Testicular implants that are wrapped around the testicles are suitable for small and medium-sized natural testicles. The wrap-around technique, which involves aesthetic testicular augmentation with an implant, is the best way to mimic the aesthetics of the natural testicle.
