Scrotatectomy

[smoothie36 (imported)]

As a follow up to my request for a referral to a doctor to remove my scrotum (no referrals came in), I made a list of all the plastic surgeons within 75 miles who had an on-premisis ambulatory operating room (no general anethesia). About a half a dozen candidates. Started calling (I was nervous to make the calls) but got generally positive responses after making it clear that I wanted my (empty) scrotum removed. Mostly in the vein of "come on in for an evaluation, and we can go from there". Only one seemed rather shocked by the idea and dismissed me abruptly. I picked one based on location and web site material. I was very well treated and very satisfied with the final result.

I am curious if your insurance paid for this or was it an out-of-pocket cost to you. I'd consider it but its not a high priority. My scrotum was never large and has shrunk since its contents were removed. I was surprised at how much more comfortable it was without balls so am kind of interested to try it without the empty scrotum.
