Testicular Implant Procedure
The testicular implant procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the patient’s preference and surgical requirements. Your initial consultation with Dr. Parikh focuses on discussing your medical history and goals and selecting the appropriate size and type of testicular prosthesis.
During surgery, Dr. Parikh creates a small incision in the scrotum to carefully place the implant and secure it by closing the incision. The entire procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from testicular implant surgery is typically straightforward. Mild swelling and discomfort may occur in the first few days, manageable with prescribed pain medication. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for four to six weeks, though most patients can return to work and light activities within one to two weeks.
Regular follow-up visits with Dr. Parikh ensure optimal recovery and results. Recovery times vary by individual, and detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to support your healing process.
How much does testicular implant surgery cost?
The cost of testicular implant surgery can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of implant chosen, the overall expenses associated with the surgical facility, and whether the procedure is done in conjunction with other surgeries.
