Testicular implants (testicular prostheses) offer a surgical option for aesthetic plastic reconstruction of the testicles.
An accident, an illness or ultimately a testicular malformation can lead to the desire to replace it.
Possible causes:
- Testicular cancer
- Inguinal testicles
- Injury to the testicle
- Pathological reduction of the testicular tissue
- Testicular torsion
- Testicular shrinkage
- Only one testicle attached
- Inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis)
We select the right implant size for the individual testicle size. This enables us to achieve a natural and high-quality surgical result.

OP preparation
Before we carry out the operation, there are a few things to consider:
We recommend that you avoid nicotine and alcohol consumption for 4 weeks before the operation.
Before the surgical procedure, treat your genital area with an antibiotic ointment to prevent inflammation.
Operation procedure
Testicular enlargement surgery basically involves two phases: Firstly, we surgically enlarge the scrotum and then implant it.
We create a secure hold for the testicular implants by applying a special suture to the surrounding tissue.
Phase 1
First, we expand the scrotum and insert the silicone implant.
Phase 2
For optimal aesthetic correction, we move the base of the testicles slightly backwards. This allows us to achieve a balanced relationship between the testicles and the penis that you will feel comfortable with.
Frequently asked questions about testicular enlargement
Why do men want to have this operation?
Testicles that are too small or malformed can lead to complexes and a high level of psychological distress, which can ultimately have a negative impact on sexual intercourse.
It is no wonder that the men affected wish to restore the symmetrical arrangement of the testicles and the natural testicular volume.
This is possible with silicone implants.
What is required is the reconstruction of the testicle in its function and aesthetics based on the natural model.
Does the procedure depend on age?
Yes, there is an age restriction:
This operation should only be performed after the sexual organs have fully matured and grown.
At this point, we can select and insert the most suitable implants.
When will the results of the operation be visible?
You can see and feel the increased testicular volume immediately after the operation.
The final result is visible about 14 days after the operation. The swelling must first subside.
What can you say about durability?
Treatment with testicular implants is permanent. It is not usually necessary to repeat the treatment.
Can complications occur?
Surgery after testicular cancer or to replace a testicle is very safe.
We can control the ideal harmonious positioning of the testicles with a compression bandage, among other things.
Should inflammation of the wound occur, we will treat it with suitable agents (e.g. antibiotics).
Your thorough genital hygiene is important.
What are the contraindications for testicular implantation procedures?
This includes being able to recognize or rule out contraindications through a thorough consultation and medical history.
The following contraindications must be taken into account:
- The surgical site must be free of inflammation. There must also be no circulatory disorder.
- Have you already had testicular surgery for other reasons? Then we need to clarify whether testicular enlargement is possible.
