Scrotal lifting surgery is an aesthetic and functional procedure performed when the skin of the testicular sac (scrotum) sags excessively due to aging, weight changes, or genetic factors. Scrotal sagging can be visually unappealing and may cause discomfort in daily activities and during sexual intercourse.
Causes of Scrotal Sagging
- Skin laxity due to aging
- Naturally loose skin structure
- Excess skin following significant weight gain and loss
How is Scrotal Lifting Surgery Performed?
The surgery is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. Excess skin from the lower part of the scrotum is removed, the tissue is reshaped, and the scrotum is lifted to a higher position. Aesthetic sutures are used to restore a natural appearance. The procedure typically lasts 1–2 hours and is usually performed as an outpatient surgery.
Advantages of Scrotal Lifting Surgery
- Eliminates the appearance of a sagging scrotum
- Provides a younger and more aesthetic genital appearance
- Facilitates vaginal penetration during sexual intercourse
Recovery After Scrotal Lifting Surgery
- Mild swelling and bruising in the skin and underlying tissues may occur during the first week
- Patients can usually resume daily activities within 3–5 days
- Sexual activity is generally permitted after 4–6 weeks
Final Notes
Scrotal lifting surgery offers both aesthetic and functional benefits for men experiencing scrotal sagging. When performed by experienced urologists, it is a safe, durable procedure with high patient satisfaction.
