Scrotoplasty, commonly known as scrotal lift or tightening, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from the scrotum.

This procedure not only improves the appearance but also alleviates discomfort caused by sagging or redundant skin.

Performed under general anaesthesia, scrotoplasty typically takes about one hour to complete.

The surgeon removes surplus skin from the scrotum and closes the incision with dissolvable sutures, allowing the area to heal naturally over the following weeks.

Post-procedure, patients usually spend about 2–3 hours in recovery before being discharged home with antibiotics and pain relief for the first week.

When Is Scrotoplasty Recommended ?

Scrotoplasty is suitable for men experiencing:

  • Excessive scrotal skin due to ageing or genetics.

  •  
  • Discomfort or chafing during physical activities or daily routines.

  •  
  • Aesthetic concerns regarding the appearance of the scrotum.

  •  
  • Penoscrotal webbing or buried penis, conditions where the penis appears hidden due to excessive skin attachment.

  •  

For those undergoing penis enlargement surgery, combining scrotoplasty can enhance the overall aesthetic outcome by ensuring the scrotum complements the enhanced penis size.

 

Procedure Overview

  • Anaesthesia: General anaesthesia ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure.

  •  
  • Incision: Excess skin is carefully removed, and incisions are made with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scrotoplasty is usually performed under general anaesthetic and takes around one hour.

The cost for scrotoplasty is £7995 . There may be additional pre-operative tests which may be required, depending on your medical history. The above fee includes all other medical and hospital costs for the procedure.

You should arrange to take some time off work after scrotum lift surgery, depending on the type of work that you do. Most men take around one week off work after the procedure to recover.

You should expect some swelling and bruising to the scrotum after the scrotal lift procedure which is perfectly normal. This may take a few weeks to settle completely. When you are discharged from hospital you will be given antibiotics and pain relief medication for the following week. You may have some post-operative pain and discomfort, but it should not be anything you cannot manage with the pain relief medication you will be given.

Most men who undergo scrotoplasty only have the procedure done once. Like all cosmetic surgery though, you cannot stop the aging process. The skin of your scrotum may increase in laxity with age. If you have excess scrotal skin that is causing you discomfort and embarrassment, then this should be a one-time scrotal lift procedure.

Scrotoplasty is performed by specialist urologists at Moorgate Andrology and Gynaecology. These specialists have advanced training in male genital surgery procedures. They will also be responsible for your aftercare after the scrotoplasty.

Finance for scrotoplasty is available, subject to status. Now you may be able to borrow the total amount for the procedure and have flexible repayment terms.

So just contact us and we will guide you through the simple process of arranging how to pay for your scrotal lift.

We conduct scrotoplasty at both London Harley Street and our hospital in Preston, just north of Manchester.

It will take six weeks for everything to settle down after a scrotal lift, but then you can resume sexual activity.

It could be up to six weeks before you can get back to the gym after a scrotal lift. You may be able to do upper body work, but you should check with the Urologist before doing so. You must avoid all contact sport for a full six weeks.

Because the surgery is performed under general anaesthetic, you will need someone to come to the hospital to collect you. If you need help with travel arrangements, we can arrange to have you collected from home and taken there and back to the hospital for the surgery.

Yes, this is possible, a so-called “combination operation”. Of course, the Urologist will need to assess you at consultation to confirm that this would be possible in your case. It is possible to both lengthen and thicken the penis at the same time as a scrotoplasty.

The most important thing is to wear what feels comfortable. Some men feel better is supportive underwear, whilst others prefer loose fitting boxer shorts. You could ensure that you have both available after the surgery so you can try both and see what is most comfortable for you.

It is possible, but you may find the procedure uncomfortable. If you have any concerns about the anaesthetic, then we can arrange a consultation with the anaesthetist to discuss the options. Most patients recover quickly after the general anaesthetic for scrotoplasty because it is only a one-hour procedure. You will come to the hospital in the morning about one to two hours before the procedure and you are usually discharged around two to three hours after the procedure.

It may be one week before you can drive again. You should avoid sitting in one place for too long in the first week. Make sure that you are comfortable at the wheel before you resume driving.

Following scrotoplasty surgery, you may experience erections, such as nocturnal erections as you normally do. These are nothing to worry about and they should not cause any disturbance to your recovery. The important thing to remember is that you should not engage in any sexual activity, including masturbation when you do get an erection until the Urologist has advised you it’s okay to do so.

You should avoid all sexual activity for a period of six weeks after scrotoplasty surgery. Of course, your Urologist will monitor your recovery over the first few weeks and advise you when it is safe to resume sexual activity. All sexual activity also includes masturbation.

Once the wound has healed there should be no restrictions on your sexual activity. If you are in any doubt, then seek the advice of your urologist.

The Urologist will advise you when you can return to sexual activity. Do not be tempted to have sex too early because this could compromise your recovery and delay wound healing.

The location of the scar is something that the Urologist will discuss with you based on the presentation of your case.

For example, if your problem is excess skin at the junction of the penis and scrotum, then the Urologist will need to cut this excess skin away. If your scrotum has a lot of excess skin, however, then there may be a requirement for an additional surgical approach, such as a vertical incision from the penile-scrotal junction. The aim of the procedure is to ensure a good cosmetic result whilst minimising the scars and their visibility as much as possible.

We perform a scrotoplasty under general anaesthetic. This means that there is a little preparation that you need to do for the surgery.

Firstly, make sure that you have some time off work planned after the surgery. Most guys will take around one week off work, but if your work involves lots of heavy lifting, you may need a little longer. If you smoke, you should stop or at least cut down as much as possible for six weeks before the surgery.

Try and avoid alcohol for one week before surgery too. Make sure that you attend for the preoperative tests. If they are swab tests that you do at home, make sure that you do them on the correct date and post them directly to the laboratory.

It is also important to attend any preoperative consultations when they are booked for you. If you miss your consultations your surgery will have to be postponed.
