Can I Still Get Testicular Examinations With Testicular Implant Enhancements?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I hope to try for 7.5cm and want the biggest size possible but see from FAQ’s it may be best to start with something a bit smaller and then replace 3-4 months later with the larger size. What would be the cost of going that way?

A few questions if I may:

how does one do testicular exams/health checks with the displacement method?
Of course I want as large an implant as possible and want to avoid the testicles dropping back into view. What is the frequency/risk of that happening and how does one resolve it? Presumably another procedure?
I do pumping for penile physio and I assume I can continue to do so after the procedure?
How long would I need to stay in the US after the procedure to come back for follow up reviews and checks?

That’s all for now, most grateful for thoughts.

A:1) It is better to be safe like 6.5 with a lower risk of complications.

2) Whether it is a displacement or wrap around technique a testicular examination is more challenging. But at least with the displacement method an examination is possible as opposed to the wrap around method in which it would be impossible.

3) Testicular show (partial/limited and is up high) with the displacement implant method is not common but possible. Should it occur there is no effective treatment for it.

4) You will be able to pump after the surgery once you are well healed.

5) After 48 hours you can return home.
