An increasing number of men are interested in a scrotal lift, a procedure aimed at reducing excess skin and tightening the scrotal dermis. Many patients are active, young men who feel their testicles are uncomfortable or excessively lax during intense exercise or when wearing tight sports clothing. Other men consider this surgery for aesthetic reasons, seeking greater comfort and confidence in their appearance.
Before surgery, our specialists conduct a preliminary evaluation to rule out conditions such as varicocele or hydrocele, which may impact the decision to undergo a scrotal lift. This procedure has become one of the most sought-after in the field of male genital surgery, thanks to its reliable outcomes and low complication rate.

Surgical techniques and scar location
The choice of surgical technique for scrotal elevation is determined after a consultation with our specialized surgeons.
- The incision is usually made along the midline of the scrotum, allowing the vertical extension to be corrected and excess skin to be tightened.
- In some cases, plicating the underlying muscle may be necessary to ensure a more stable and long-lasting result.
The resulting scars are typically nearly imperceptible, positioned within natural folds or existing lines of the penile and scrotal skin.

Post-operative care
After a scrotal lift, we use absorbable sutures, so there is no need for removal. At Dr. Richard Fakin’s clinics, we recommend a gentle daily cleaning of the area, without excessive rubbing.
- Starting from the second day, it is possible to wash the area with warm water, avoiding any trauma or bruising.
- We advise refraining from sports activities and sexual intercourse for at least 14 days, allowing for proper healing and optimal tissue repositioning.
If pain occurs, basic analgesics can be used during the first few days.
