TESTICLE PROSTHESIS

Why Testicular Prosthesis?

Sebbin Silicone Gel Filled Testicular Prosthesis

A testicular prosthesis can create and restore the natural appearance of the testicles in the scrotum. It is the same size, shape, weight and softness as a normal testicle. A variety of sizes are available to suit children and adults. A testicular prosthesis can be implanted during surgery when the testicle is removed or at a later date.

After testicular replacement surgery is completed, it is important to limit your activities for a short period of time to ensure proper healing. Your doctor will create a plan specific to your recovery process, your activities, and when you can resume sexual activities.

  • The cosmetic benefits provided by testicular prosthesis have resulted in psychological benefits and high levels of patient satisfaction.

  • Having or losing one or both of your testicles is not a comfortable topic, but it can be a reality for many people. Regardless of age, body image issues can cause psychological and emotional effects, such as making you feel less masculine or worried about how a sexual partner might react.

  • 95% of patients implanted with a testicular prosthesis report having repeat surgery if necessary.

  • Choosing to use a testicular prosthesis is a personal choice. It is important to know that it is for cosmetic appearances only and is not a working testicle.

  • Testicular prosthesis is a personal decision. Your doctor, family and friends can give you advice, but only you can make this choice. Only you know what you think of yourself, your image, and the impact of having or losing a testicle.

  • CAN I HAVE A CHILD WITH A TESTICLE PROSTHESIS?
    Testicular prosthesis is designed for cosmetic appearance only. It does not have working functions like a natural testicle.
  • CAN IT BE NOTICED FROM THE OUTSIDE THAT I HAVE A PROSTHESIS?
    The prosthesis is placed completely inside your body. It is not obvious from the outside.
  • HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME AFTER SURGERY?
    Every individual is different and therefore their recovery will be different. Typical recovery is 4-6 weeks. Your doctor will determine what you can and cannot do during this time. To achieve the best results, it is important to follow the recommendations your doctor gives you.
  • IS TESTICULAR PROSTHESIS SURGERY COVERED BY SSI?
    Penile prosthesis is prescribed by your doctor. Most insurance, including SSI, covers the treatment. Check with us to determine your actual cost.
