The Rise of Scrotox: Botox for your Balls

testiclesYou can have a six-pack sculpted, dimples created, a designer vagina and almost any part of your face tweaked, lifted and tightened.  But, there’s a new plastic surgery procedure that is on the rise – and it’s altogether more bizarre.  The number of men enquiring about scrotox. – yes, that’s having Botox injected into your scrotum – has doubled in the past year, according to the experts.  The op, which can cost up to £2,800,  helps ease sweating, lessens the appearance of wrinkles and makes the scrotum appear larger by helping the muscles relax, the Metro reports.  [2] It  is already a staple on the menu at clinics across the US, and with the UK around three years behind the plastic surgery times, experts say they expect to see a surge in interest in the coming years.  Mark Norfolk, clinical director at Transform, a national clinic, said though they do not offer Scrotox, they have seen a huge rise in the number of patients asking about the procedure.  He told The Sun Online: “Over the past year, requests for scrotum Botox have doubled at Transform showing the huge demand and interest for this procedure.” [1]

He said the procedure is not offered at Transform “due to the possible risks and complications associated with treating this part of the body”.  The procedure involves Botox being injected into a man’s scrotum.  But, while the drug is commonly used slightly higher up the anatomy, to rid foreheads and faces of unsightly wrinkles, Mr Norfolk warns it does not have the same effect below the waistline.

In terms of results, injecting Botox into the scrotum may help with any sweating issues, but won’t have much of an effect on wrinkles. There is lots of loose skin on this part of the body, that an injectible treatment just can’t shift

“In terms of results, injecting Botox into the scrotum may help with any sweating issues, but won’t have much of an effect on wrinkles,” he explained.  “There is lots of loose skin on this part of the body, that an injectible treatment just can’t shift.”  The only way to get rid of excessive wrinkles and loose skin on a man’s scrotum is to have surgery to remove the excess skin, Mr Norfolk said.  He added: “If anyone is interested in having this treatment, I can’t stress enough how important it is to do a thorough research – not only into the practitioner but also around the product they’ll be using.  “Also, patients should manage their expectations in terms of results, it could prove very costly and nerve wracking to go through, for very little in return.” [1]

Writing for Cosmetic Surgery Times, dermatologic surgeon Jason Emer, M.D. explained: ‘As the vaginal rejuvenation market is skyrocketing, men are seeking their own type of rejuvenation. Who wouldn’t want to be a little bit longer, thicker, or have more sensitivity and a better sex life? These men are also becoming interested in the cosmetic appearance of the actual penis and scrotum itself.’  According to Lord Alan Sugar’s business partner, Apprentice winner Dr Leah Totton, the rise in men having Botox is staggering.  It’s perhaps unsurprising that men are investing in quirky treatments after research revealed that the number of men having cosmetic surgery has doubled over the past decade.  According to Lord Alan Sugar’s business partner, Apprentice winner Dr Leah Totton, the rise in men having Botox is staggering.  ‘Divorce rates are higher than ever and men, as much as women, are aware that appearance is a key factor when attracting a new partner. My patients generally feel that Botox helps them feel more positive about their appearance and boosts their self-confidence,’ she said of the trend.  ‘Another motivating factor for the men I treat is a desire to improve their work prospects. Many men I treat are under pressure to achieve and a frown is a negative expression that reflects strain. By softening this expression, men appear less stressed, less angry and calmer. Looking old, stressed or angry can make men feel vulnerable about their positions or their marketability.’  [3]
