The scrotal lift, also known as scrotoplasty, is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin of the scrotum and improves its proportions by removing excess tissue.

During the procedure, the scrotal skin is reshaped to achieve a firmer and more balanced appearance of the genital area. The aim is to improve both aesthetics and comfort, particularly in cases where the scrotal skin is significantly lax.

It is a relatively straightforward surgical procedure that improves the contour of the scrotum whilst maintaining a natural-looking result.

Before considering the procedure, an individualised medical assessment is carried out to analyse the anatomy of the area and rule out possible conditions such as varicocele or hydrocele, which may require a different type of treatment.

Indications

When might a scrotal lift be recommended?

A scrotal lift may be recommended when loose scrotal skin causes functional problems or discomfort in everyday life.

In some cases, excess scrotal skin can cause friction during physical activity, discomfort when walking, or difficulty wearing tight or athletic clothing. This procedure can help:

Reduce scrotal skin laxity
Improve the position and tension of the scrotum
Reduce discomfort during physical activity
Improve comfort when wearing tight clothing

The decision to proceed with surgery is always made following a personalised medical assessment, which helps to determine whether scrotoplasty is the most appropriate option for each patient.

Surgical techniques

Scrotum lifting techniques and scar placement

The surgical technique used for a scrotal lift is decided following a consultation with the surgeon. During the procedure, excess skin is removed from the scrotum to reduce its length and improve tissue tension.

The incision is usually made along the midline of the scrotum, which allows the laxity to be corrected precisely and the excess skin to be tightened.
In some cases, a suture of the underlying muscle may be performed, with the aim of strengthening the tissue structure and improving the stability of the result.

Scars are usually located in natural creases or along the midline of the scrotum, so they tend to become less visible over time.

Recovery

Recovery and postoperative care after scrotal lift

After surgery, it is normal to experience slight swelling or tenderness in the area for the first few days. Most patients can resume their daily activities shortly afterward, while full recovery occurs gradually over the following weeks.

During the postoperative period, it is recommended to follow some guidelines to promote proper healing:

The sutures are usually absorbable, so it is not necessary to remove them.
Perform gentle daily hygiene of the area, avoiding excessive rubbing.
From the second day onwards, the area can be washed with warm water.
Avoid pressure or trauma to the scrotum during the first few days
Avoid strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse for approximately 14 days

If you experience any discomfort, you may take basic pain relief during the first few days, as directed by your doctor.

Scars and results

Scars and results of scrotal lift

The incisions made during surgery are usually small and discreet, typically located along the midline of the scrotum or within natural skin folds.

Over time, the scars tend to blend in with the surrounding skin and usually become barely visible.

The results of the procedure are usually apparent once the initial swelling has subsided. The aim of the operation is to reduce excess scrotal skin and improve tissue tension, achieving a natural appearance and greater comfort in the genital area.
