Dr. Roland Resch
Experienced specialist in the field of scrotum lift and reduction
A sagging scrotum is not a pretty sight – both men and women agree on this. In addition to aesthetics, there are also impairments due to clothing, e.g. unpleasant friction or itching.
With increasing age, the skin of the scrotum may become overstretched and the skin around the scrotum is loosened. Another reason for a sagging scrotum is insufficiently developed muscles, which are responsible for a tight scrotum, or a general excess of skin.
Many affected men are bothered by the sight of their scrotum on the one hand, but also by the restrictions in clothing on the other. Tight-fitting clothing can lead to redness and even pain.
A surgical scrotum lift or reduction can help you achieve a significant improvement in both aesthetic and practical terms.
I would be happy to advise you on this in a personal appointment.
Yours, Dr. Roland Resch

3 steps to a scrotum lift
Anesthesia
A scrotum lift is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or twilight sleep, and the medication is tailored to your personal well-being. Our experienced anesthesiologist will be happy to talk to you in advance if you wish.
Method of scrotum lift
The scrotum is a pocket of skin outside the body in which the testicles and epididymis are located. The skin of the scrotum is covered with smooth muscle fibers and supporting muscles, the so-called cremasteric muscles. If these muscles are weak or if there is a general excess of skin, the excess skin tissue is removed during a surgical procedure. This achieves a significant tightening of the scrotum. The excess skin or tissue is removed through incisions and the skin is then sutured back together. Since self-dissolving suture material is used, suture removal is not necessary. You can return home shortly after the procedure.
Aftercare and recovery
You should rest and recover for a certain period of time after a scrotal lift. Cool the affected area and do not put any strain on it. Depending on the type of activity, you can return to work after one week. Please refrain from sport, physically strenuous work, sexual intercourse and full baths for at least four weeks.

What causes sagging of the scrotum?
The reasons for sagging of the scrotum are a naturally underdeveloped musculature, the smooth muscles running in the scrotal skin and the so-called “musculus cremaster” or “testicular elevator”, or a weakness of these muscle fibers with increasing age – these are the muscles responsible for ensuring that the scrotum remains close to the body and can pull up in the event of friction. Another reason for sagging is a general excess of skin, which causes the scrotum to hang lower than desired.
When is a scrotum lift an option?
- If your scrotum hangs lower than desired and is therefore annoying when wearing tighter clothing
- If rubbing of the scrotum against clothing causes redness, itching and pain
- If you find the appearance of your scrotum unattractive
- If disease-related causes for a sagging scrotum have been ruled out.
Do I have to go to hospital for a scrotum lift/scrotum reduction?
No, hospitalization is not required. The scrotum lift is performed on an outpatient basis and you can return home one to two hours after the procedure.
What anesthesia is used for a scrotum lift?
A scrotum lift is performed under local anesthesia. If desired, the procedure can also be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.
What happens during a scrotum lift/scrotum reduction?
The excess skin is removed under local anesthesia. The wound is closed with a cosmetic suture, whereby no suture removal is required due to the suture material used.
How do I prepare for a scrotum lift?
- Make an appointment for a consultation(s) in my practice
- Decision on scrotum lift surgery and scheduling of the operation date
- Avoid taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs for five days before and after a procedure, as these have a strong influence on blood clotting. This also includes herbal and dietary supplements
- Optimal adjustment of medication in the case of high blood pressure or diabetes
- If you regularly take blood-thinning medication, discontinue this in consultation with your doctor or replace it with suitable medication
- Avoid nicotine and alcohol
- Provide your body with sufficient water before and after the procedure
What do I need to consider after a scrotum lift?
After a scrotum lift, the surgical area should be cooled to prevent any swelling and pain. Rest and recuperation are also required for a week after this procedure in order to optimally support the healing process.
No sport, no physically demanding work, no sexual intercourse, no sauna and no full baths for four weeks.
What are the risks of a scrotum lift/scrotum reduction?
As with any operation, there are certain risks involved in a scrotum lift/scrotum reduction. In general, this operation is considered low-risk, but certain risks can never be completely ruled out.
The following complications can occur after a scrotum lift:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Tension pain
- Bruising
- Wound healing disorder
Antibiotics are administered in advance to reduce the risk of infection
There are also general surgical risks that cannot be completely ruled out with any operation. These are:
- Incompatibility of medication or dressing material. In the event of an existing intolerance, we can take appropriate measures in advance
- The risk of anesthesia is classified as low, but there may be an intolerance to anesthetics. If you know of any, please inform us in advance.
When can I resume sports, sauna, full baths and sexual intercourse after a scrotum lift?
Sports, full baths and sexual intercourse should be avoided for four weeks, as the healing process in the body is impaired.
