Implants What are scrotal implants? Scrotal implants are stainless steel, nylon, or other beads or objects implanted inside the scrotum, typically to either replace missing testicles, or to enhance the appearance of the scrotum with larger balls. Silicone testicles ("falsies", for example under the brandname Neuticles in the veterinary field) are sometimes used, especially when a natural testicle appearance is desired after castration. A small number of doctors use "cupped" implants which actually form a sheath around the testicles, but most doctors prefer to implant a second larger set of testicles beneath the real ones in the interest of safety. What are some of the risks? The largest risk is infection, primarily in the time period immediately following the procedure. Again, bacteria trapped inside the scrotum can quickly grow to become a life-threatening infection, literally overnight. Additionally, in cases where heavier implants (for example, things like 2" steel balls) are used, tissue death surrounding (especially below) the implant has been reported, leading to scrotal amputation after gangrene set in. It goes without saying that using proper medical grade materials is essential. If proper grade materials are not used, infection risks skyrocket, and at a minimum, various inflammatory responses can be expected. Implantation of irresponsible materials should not even be considered. Where can I get scrotal implants (the object)? Neuticles and products like them are sold through medical and veterinary suppliers, and are not usually available to the general public (and might even be illegal in some areas). There is of course the option of approaching them as a "high school science teacher" or an "artist", but ultimately such a path is probably illegal and could lead to secondary problems. Beads suitable for implantation, including larger beads, are available through most body jewelry manufacturers (just ask them for polished undrilled beads in your desired size and material). They can also be obtained from industrial suppliers at a much lower cost, but they'd need to properly finished before use. Finally, I should noted that medical grade materials, especially in larger items (beads larger than 3/4" in diameter for example) can get VERY expensive. They're expensive for a reason, and if one skimps on materials, odds are it will be regretted later. If your supplier, doctor, or artist can not tell you EXACTLY what is being put in you, you're not dealing with reputable people. Where can I get scrotal implants (the procedure)? Generally a doctor does this procedure as it is quite invasive and carries a considerable degree of risk. Contamination of the inside of the scrotum can lead to a fast-spreading and life-threatening procedure. Assuming that sterility requirements can be met, on a technical level, the procedure is no more difficult than many of the implant procedures attempted by amateur practitioner (who can be contacted through the obvious underground channels). It is strongly urged that you seek the assistance of a trained and qualified medical professional for procedures such as this. Yes, it will cost more, and yes, it will mean having to answer more personal questions, but ask yourself: "How much is my life worth to me?" Is this procedure legal? Laws will vary from region to region, but realistically one must be an accredited medical doctor to legally perform such a procedure. |
