What is it

A key step in masculinizing bottom surgery

Scrotoplasty creates a natural-looking scrotum, enhancing both the appearance and comfort of transmasculine anatomy.

Scrotoplasty is a gender-affirming procedure that constructs a scrotum as part of transmasculine bottom surgery. It can be performed on its own or alongside procedures such as metoidioplasty or phalloplasty, depending on your surgical goals.

The procedure uses carefully selected tissue to create a scrotum that looks natural and feels comfortable. Our surgeons follow WPATH-aligned standards and work collaboratively with you to ensure outcomes that reflect your identity and priorities.

Benefits

What scrotoplasty can mean for you

More than a structural change — a meaningful step toward comfort, confidence, and body alignment.

Natural appearance

A scrotum that looks and feels natural, enhancing body confidence and alignment with your gender identity.

Improved comfort

Eliminates discomfort from loose or absent scrotal tissue, improving daily comfort and physical ease.

Harmonious proportions

Sculpted to complement your overall anatomy and any prior or planned bottom surgery.

Predictable recovery

A well-defined healing timeline with dedicated postoperative support at every stage.

Compatible with implants

Designed to accommodate testicular prostheses in future procedures if desired.

Tailored technique

Surgical approach customized to your anatomy, goals, and any concurrent procedures.

Surgical techniques

Scrotoplasty approaches

Your surgeon will recommend the technique best suited to your anatomy, goals, and any concurrent procedures.

Local Tissue Rearrangement

Indications
Patients with adequate local tissue and no prior extensive genital surgery.
Advantages
Uses existing tissue for a natural look with minimal donor-site morbidity.
Ideal candidates
Patients seeking scrotal creation without additional flap procedures.

Pedicled Flap Scrotoplasty

Indications
Cases requiring additional tissue volume or skin for optimal contour.
Advantages
Provides robust tissue bulk and excellent vascularization for durable results.
Ideal candidates
Patients needing more substantial reconstruction or concurrent phalloplasty.

Labial Tissue Scrotoplasty

Indications
Patients with existing labial tissue undergoing masculinizing bottom surgery.
Advantages
Repurposes native tissue into a scrotum with natural texture and sensitivity.
Ideal candidates
Patients undergoing metoidioplasty or phalloplasty who wish to preserve sensation.

Implant-Ready Scrotoplasty

Indications
Patients planning future testicular prosthesis placement.
Advantages
Creates a pocket and adequate coverage designed for safe prosthetic insertion later.
Ideal candidates
Patients who want to stage their reconstruction with future implant placement.

Recovery

Your healing roadmap

A clear, week-by-week picture of what recovery looks like — so you always know what comes next.

  1. 1
    Week 1

    Rest & swelling management

    Swelling and bruising are expected. Keep the surgical area clean and dry, and wear supportive garments as instructed. Limit movement and avoid pressure on the area.

  2. 2
    Weeks 2–3

    Wound healing & suture care

    Incisions begin to close. Continue gentle cleansing and monitor for any signs of infection. Light walking is encouraged, but avoid strenuous activity.

  3. 3
    Weeks 4–6

    Gradual return to activity

    Most patients resume light daily activities and desk work. Swelling continues to subside and the new contour becomes more apparent.

  4. 4
    Months 2–3

    Tissue maturation

    The scrotal tissue softens and settles into its final position. Scar care begins to optimize long-term appearance.

  5. 5
    Month 6–12

    Final result

    The scrotum achieves its mature appearance and texture. If planned, testicular prostheses may be inserted once fully healed.

Results & scarring

What your results will look like

Understanding scars, sensation, and long-term outcomes helps you set clear, realistic expectations.

Expected scars

Scarring is typically minimal and strategically placed to be discreet. Scars fade progressively over 6–12 months with proper care.

Contour evolution

Initial swelling resolves over several weeks, revealing the final shape and position of the reconstructed scrotum.

Sensation

Sensation varies by technique. Labial tissue approaches often preserve meaningful sensitivity in the reconstructed area.

Natural appearance

The scrotum is shaped and positioned to appear natural in proportion to your anatomy and any concurrent procedures.

Long-term results

Results are permanent and stable, providing lasting comfort and affirmation without the need for ongoing revision.

Implant compatibility

Implant-ready techniques create a suitable environment for future testicular prostheses if desired.
