Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to achieve one of several goals for patients, depending on their needs. It addresses concerns of the scrotum, the area of skin that holds the testicles and serves a vital function in the male reproductive system. It is generally considered a cosmetic procedure, but the results can have significant benefits and positive results for patients.

Buried Penis

One of the most common reasons to have scrotoplasty in Los Angeles is to address a buried penis. This condition typically occurs at birth and leaves an individual with very little visible penis though the organ is of normal size. While the causes of a buried penis can vary, this procedure can generally address most cases. Through careful and precise techniques, we can adjust the scrotum and surrounding ligaments to reveal more of the organ’s full size. While this is typically for cosmetic improvement, it may also provide functional improvements in more severe cases.

Gender Affirmation

Physical attributes can be an important part of the transition experience for transgender men (female-to-male). Our physical traits play an important role in affirming our identities and feeling the way we are meant to. Scrotoplasty surgery can also be used as part of the transition process to construct a scrotum for transgender male patients.

Scrotal Lift

Scrotoplasty can also improve the appearance of the scrotum for many patients. As a scrotal lift, this procedure can tighten the scrotal tissue, resulting in a tighter and small overall presentation. Patients with excess scrotal skin tend to use this procedure to achieve ideal aesthetic results.
