Scrotal Lifts Are the Hottest Plastic Surgery Trend for Men with Saggy Balls

On this day, June 3, 2016, the Telegraph officially declared ball lifts “a bona fide thing.” Love the plague—or a fake trend—the hottest innovation in scrotum rejuvenation due to the fact that ball ironing is pervasively upon us, the publication reports. The plastic surgery procedure, in which excess skin is removed from the scrotum, perks up low-hanging testicles that have actually fallen victim to gravity over time.

Dr. Amir Nakhdjevani, one of the few surgeons that perform scrotal lifts in the UK, told the publication that several men seek out this scrotoplasty for vanity-related reasons. “As we age our skin looses [sic] elasticity—something genetics and others factors can easily accelerate—and as result it’s a procedure mostly sought for cosmetic reasons quite compared to functional reasons.”

While some could categorize this surgery as “ridiculous,” women—and even teen girls—have actually been getting cosmetic vaginal rejuvenation procedures for years, and at increasing rates. I surely believe it’s concerning time that men started feeling at least a little anxiety concerning conforming their bodies to irrational societal standards. However that is probably not the case.

Nakhdjevani has actually only performed a whopping total of 22 ball lifts at Kent’s Bella Vou plastic surgery clinic, where he works. Nevertheless, he insists that scrotal lifts are on the rise. In the month prior to the Telegraph guide came out, he posted somewhat relentlessly on RealSelf, a resource site and community where plastic surgery candidates can easily pose questions to doctors and others members, on every inquiry related to scrotal lifts. In each comment, Nakhdjevani said something like, “The popularity of the procedure is growing every year and now men can easily have actually something done concerning it. several patients undergoing scrotal surgery discover comfort throughout exercise, in clothing and the brand-new much more rejuvenated appearance has actually a quite positive impact on their life,” prior to going on to plug his website. Contradicting comments on the site from others doctors indicate that the procedure is not quite common.

“Are scrotal lifts common? No,” confirms Dr. Barry Eppley, a plastic surgeon along with his own private practice. “Are scrotal lifts done? Yes. Are there men that are interested in doing them? Yes. However I wouldn’t call them an ‘up-and-coming’ trend for men. I’ve seen much more men for scrotal lifts in the past two years compared to in the past 20, However that’s merely due to the internet, Love several niche procedures.”

When I asked men themselves concerning their partnership along with their testicles, none seemed too eager to subject them to plastic surgery. One brave soul that opened up to me concerning his balls—let’s call your man Sam*—said his main complaint was that “they used to itch a lot However don’t anymore.” He doubted that men care concerning exactly what their balls look like; he doesn’t. “I don’t know exactly what good balls look like,” he said. “There’s quite little tension to have actually fairly balls. There’s so much emphasis on the size and shape of the shaft that the balls are, like, a non-issue.”

David*, on the others hand, has actually endured exactly what it’s Love to have actually ball-related insecurities. “One of my balls is bigger and hangs lower,” he admitted. “I don’t know if it hangs lower due to the fact that it’s heavier and it stretched the spermatic cord, or it’s merely a naturally longer spermatic cord. Likewise my sack is hella wrinkly.” However he says he wouldn’t necessarily go with corrective surgery. “I feel a certain quantity of grief, However it doesn’t interfere along with my adore life or anything Love that. No one has actually ever commented on it, except my internal monologue. I would certainly think about surgery if I had the your hard earned cash and could be certain of the results—so no, not in this world.”

“There are some men that truly have actually an astoundingly low-hanging scrotal sack,” Eppley explained Once I asked your man exactly what would certainly prompt a person to get hold of this procedure done. “For some men that have actually it, it’s actually a Genuine problem. It gets caught between their legs. merely Love breasts that sag and induce others uncomfortable symptoms, balls that hang down could get hold of in the way.

“However for others men it’s merely much more concerning the aesthetics of it,” he continued. “I see [more men] for testicular implants compared to for scrotal lifts.”

Eppley adds that ball lifts aren’t most likely to take off anytime soon, either. “Men in general are quite skittish concerning plastic surgery. I would certainly say that any kind of man that has actually a scrotal lift is surely not telling the next man he’s had one. Anything they do, they don’t want individuals to know, and Lord knows they don’t want individuals to know Once it includes this area,” he said. “However Love anything, once individuals become aware of something that exists to treat an aesthetic ‘problem,’ individuals will certainly seek it out. If no one is getting [scrotal lifts] now, and ten individuals do it next year, and 20 individuals do it the complying with year, I guess you could call it a trend. A low-volume trend.”
