Some Men Want Bigger Balls (Quite Literally) — Here’s Why Scrotum Filler Is On The Rise

We live in a time where if you really don’t like something about the way you look, it can be fixed with a few needles, a couple thousand dollars, and some really talented surgeons. You can get your breasts augmented, your face lifted, and even your testicles enlarged. Yes, you read that right: You can get filler to make your balls bigger.

Now, I know that the size of a man’s penis typically matters to a lot of people. I mean, so much of our sexual culture actively celebrates big dicks. So when I learned that people were getting filler in their scrotum, I was a little confused — I had never met a single person who fixated on the size of a man’s balls. But then again, I recently found out that women were getting their labia puffed via hyaluronic acid fillers, so maybe I should just mind my own business.

Why Are People Getting Scrotum Filler?

If you’re also wondering when you missed the memo about “big balls” being “in,” Chris Bustamante — AKA “InjectorChris” — founder of Lushful Aesthetics, explains that for a lot of men, it’s all about the size of their bulge.

“Scrotum Filler, or as we call it ScroFill, is performed to enhance the volume of the scrotum, giving it a thicker and heavier appearance,” Bustamante tells Betches. “Some it’s to enhance their confidence in the bedroom during intimacy, but others honestly say that isn’t a reason at all and it’s strictly to show off more at the beach or in the locker room.”

But Bustamante also lets us into a little NSFW secret: people get turned on by the sensation of their scrotum “smacking” their partner during sex (think about being in doggy) — so scrotum filler helps them achieve that. And apparently, a lot of people feel this way.

“In my medical practice, I perform Penis Filler and ScroFill about three to four times a day,” he says.

How Much Does Scrotum Filler Cost?

Now, when it comes to the cost of scrotum filler, it really all depends on how much you’re using and how often. “The minimum amount of filler used for a first-time treatment is five syringes, but most patients start with 15-20 syringes,” Bustamante explains. Those first five syringes cost about $4,000.

Bustamante says that first-time patients typically run up anywhere from $7,500 to $10,500, depending on what they want. But sometimes, this changes because people aren’t just coming in for scrotum filler; they’re also coming in for penis filler — a procedure that increases the girth of a penis. “Patients love combining both procedures because there’s built-in discounting, and it’s the ultimate way to enhance their bulge,” he explains.

How Is The Scrotum Filler Procedure Done?

Bustamante always start with a thorough consultation to discuss the procedure. And when it’s go-time, ScroFill isn’t a super long, complicated surgery — it’s a five to 10-minute procedure that involves injecting filler into the scrotal skin.

For anyone with a penis, I know you’re probably shuddering right now, but there’s no need. Bustamante explains that they typically apply a strong numbing cream and give their patients ProNox (AKA laughing gas) for their anxiety but that the procedure is virtually painless. “It’s easier than Botox with the proper numbing,” he says.

Does Scrotum Filler Impact Fertility?

For those who have at least a bare minimum understanding of sex ed, you know that the scrotum holds the testes, which produce sperm. And, of course, sperm is used to fertilize an egg and create an embryo. So, you might be wondering if this scrotum filler could potentially affect someone’s ability to have kids.

“This procedure has no direct impact on fertility,” Bustamante says. “That being said, having a background in men’s sexual health urology, the general recommendation for all men looking to actively produce children is to avoid many procedures that involve the scrotum and also adjust their lifestyle choices.” This would also include avoiding other procedures, such as laser hair removal.

And, of course, as with all surgeries or cosmetic procedures, you want to make sure you’re going to a specialist. Otherwise, the procedure can lead to swelling, bruising, or even a nerve injury if done wrong.
