Insertion of testicular implants

The insertion provide the genitals with a more masculine appearance.

Testicular implants are never inserted during phalloplasty because of the high risk of expulsion of the implants and the elevated risk of infection. As for the metoidioplasty, the implants may be inserted during the surgery depending of the type of metoidioplasty  performed.

Surgical technic:

The implants will be inserted with a small incision done on the scrotum.

People who will get a penile implant with a pump inserted in the scrotum will only get one testicular implant inserted.

Postoperative care:

During your convalescence, you will be provided with the document Information and Postoperative Care – Testicular implants. This document contains your surgeon’s instructions and will serve as a guide.
