Scrotoplasty is a surgical correction of the scrotum consisting of the removal of excess skin. The procedure may aim to reduce mechanical discomfort, achieve aesthetic correction, or improve proportions.

What is scrotoplasty?
Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure consisting of correction of the scrotum through removal of excess skin or tissue. The aim may be to reduce mechanical discomfort, achieve aesthetic correction, or improve the proportions of the intimate area. The procedure is performed by a urologist and requires prior medical qualification.
Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure — it involves incision of the skin, suturing, and leaves a scar. The scope of the operation, type of anaesthesia, and recovery course are determined individually before the procedure.
Scrotoplasty vs. SCROTOX — an important distinction: Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure (incision, sutures, scar). SCROTOX is an injection of botulinum toxin into the scrotum without skin incision — a non-invasive procedure with a different mechanism of action and different indications. The appropriate method depends on indications and patient preferences established at consultation.
When may scrotoplasty be considered?
A urological consultation regarding scrotal correction may be indicated when:
- excess scrotal skin causes mechanical discomfort while walking or during physical activity,
- the patient is considering aesthetic correction of the intimate area,
- a previous injury, surgery, or illness has affected the appearance of the scrotum,
- the patient wishes to obtain information about available correction options.
Whether the procedure is possible and justified is decided by the doctor following examination and individual assessment.
How is the procedure performed?
The doctor takes a medical history, performs an examination, and discusses indications, the scope of the procedure, possible risks and complications, type of anaesthesia, and recovery. The patient gives informed consent.
Basic laboratory tests may be ordered before surgery. The doctor discusses recommendations regarding medications, supplements, and the day of the procedure. Anaesthesiology orders may apply depending on the planned type of anaesthesia.
The procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia — depending on the scope of the operation, the patient's preferences, and the decision of the doctor and anaesthesiologist.
The surgeon makes planned incisions, removes excess skin or tissue, and then closes the wound with sutures. The scope of the operation is agreed with the patient in advance based on the consultation.
A dressing is applied after the procedure. The patient receives instructions on hygiene, activity, and medications. Depending on the scope of the procedure, observation or a few hours of care may be required.
The doctor assesses wound healing, removes sutures (if non-absorbable), and discusses further recommendations. In case of any concerns after the procedure — contact the clinic.
Recovery after scrotoplasty
The healing course is individual and depends on the scope of the operation, type of anaesthesia, and the patient's predispositions. In the first days, swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the operated area may occur.
During recovery: maintain wound hygiene, follow the doctor's activity recommendations, limit intense physical exertion and sexual activity for the period indicated by the doctor. Return to mild daily activities may be possible after a few days — however, the detailed timeline is set by the doctor individually.
When to contact a doctor after the procedure?
Urgent contact is required for: worsening pain, significant or increasing swelling, redness or warmth around the wound, purulent or concerning discharge, fever, wound dehiscence, or any symptom causing concern. Tel.: 600 006 913
Possible complications and procedure risks
Scrotoplasty, like any surgical procedure, carries a risk of complications. These may include: bleeding, haematoma, wound infection, post-operative pain and swelling, delayed healing, wound dehiscence, visible or hypertrophic scarring, altered skin sensation, asymmetry, unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome, and the need for repeat surgical intervention.
The type and likelihood of complications are discussed individually before the procedure during the qualifying consultation.
Contraindications to scrotoplasty
The list below is not exhaustive — the final assessment is made by the doctor. The most common contraindications include: active infection in the scrotal area, uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g. diabetes), blood coagulation disorders, use of medications affecting coagulation that cannot be discontinued, and a generally poor health condition that excludes surgical intervention.

Frequently asked questions
How does scrotoplasty differ from SCROTOX?
Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure — it requires skin incision, suturing, and results in a scar. SCROTOX involves injection of botulinum toxin into the scrotum without skin incision. Both procedures have different mechanisms of action, indications, and recovery times. The appropriate method is determined by the doctor at consultation.
What risks are associated with scrotoplasty?
Like any surgical procedure, scrotoplasty carries a risk of complications, including: bleeding, haematoma, infection, delayed healing, visible or hypertrophic scarring, altered sensation, asymmetry, and the need for repeat intervention. The extent of risk is discussed individually before the procedure by the qualifying doctor.
Will there be a scar after the procedure?
Yes. Scrotoplasty is a surgical procedure requiring skin incision — a scar is an inevitable consequence of surgery. Its appearance depends on the location and length of the incision, surgical technique, healing course, and individual predispositions. The surgeon plans incisions to minimise scar visibility, however a specific aesthetic outcome cannot be guaranteed.
When can physical activity and sexual intercourse be resumed?
Return to mild daily activities may be possible after a few days. Intense physical exertion and sexual activity require a break — usually at least 1–2 weeks, however this is determined individually by the doctor after the procedure, depending on healing progress.
Is scrotoplasty performed under local anaesthesia?
The procedure can be performed under local or general anaesthesia — depending on the scope of the operation, the patient's health condition, and preferences. The type of anaesthesia is determined individually by the doctor and — where applicable — the anaesthesiologist.
What should I bring to the scrotoplasty consultation?
It is advisable to bring a list of medications and supplements, information about allergies, and any existing medical records (test results, discharge summaries) if they relate to the scrotal or urogenital area. The doctor will take a medical history and perform a clinical examination.
