Get answers to common questions about Testicular implants in San Francisco.

Ideal candidates include men who have lost a testicle due to injury, cancer, or congenital absence, and those seeking improved symmetry. Our team evaluates medical history, scrotal tissue, and expectations to determine suitability and personalize the implant type and size.

Procedure typically takes under an hour under local or general anesthesia. A small scrotal or inguinal incision is used to place a silicone implant; sutures close the incision. Recovery is quick with return to light activity in days and full activity in weeks.

We use clinically proven silicone implants sized and shaped for a realistic contour and weight. Most patients report a natural feel and appearance; precise placement and scar management optimize symmetry and discretion.

Risks include infection, hematoma, implant displacement, scarring, or need for revision. We minimize complications with sterile technique, careful sizing, and close postoperative follow-up. Any concerns are addressed promptly to protect health and cosmetic results.

Follow preoperative instructions: avoid blood thinners, stop smoking, fast as directed, and arrange transportation. Disclose medications and medical history. We provide detailed pre-op guidance, and our staff answers questions to ensure a safe, well-prepared procedure and smoother recovery.

Costs vary depending on implant type and specifics of the procedure. Insurance may cover implants after cancer, trauma, or medically necessary reconstruction; cosmetic cases are often self-pay. We offer financing options and provide estimates and insurance guidance during consultation.
