It really depends on the location you are in, the surgeon and his/her fees, and the cost of the hospital and operating rooms. What I suggest is you call a doctor who does this surgery in your area and ask for an estimated cost. They should be able to give this to you since this would probably not be covered by insurance.

Hope that helps,

Kerry

Reply to Kerry's Post: I wasn't asking for an exact cost. I just wanted a ball park figure. I know how to do the other method.

Here is a place looking for volunteers to try their testicular implant. Looks like it would be free if you qualify.
