Testosterone Replacement (TRT)
Testosterone peaks around age 20, then gradually declines — often impacting energy, libido, focus, and body composition. Medically supervised TRT can correct low levels and help you feel like yourself again.
Testosterone Replacement
Testosterone levels of a 60-year-old are typically about 10% of a 20-year-old’s. This age-related decline (“andropause”) can affect quality of life in ways similar to menopause for women. At Elysian Plastic Surgery, Dr. David Dellinger — double board-certified in general and plastic/reconstructive surgery with 20+ years in practice — offers bioidentical testosterone therapy to help men across Texas and beyond.

Best Candidates
Low testosterone symptoms can include:
- Low libido; ED or erection changes; decreased testicle size
- Hair loss/thinning hair; low energy; fatigue
- Decreased muscle mass; weight gain (“spare tire”)
- Mood changes (depression, irritability), memory/focus issues
TRT is not for everyone. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, or male breast cancer are not recommended for testosterone replacement.
What to Expect
We prefer bioidentical testosterone pellet therapy: tiny pellets placed in flank or buttock fat during a quick in-office visit. Discomfort is minimal and each placement typically provides a steady dose for about 5 months.
To regain/maintain testicle size, we also recommend hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), injected in a very small dose every 3 days with an insulin syringe.
Your Testosterone Replacement Results
As levels normalize, men often report improved energy, libido, and mental focus. We’ll track your hormone labs and adjust dosing to keep you in the optimal range as long as you remain on therapy.
Testosterone Replacement FAQs
Can’t I use an over-the-counter testosterone booster?
Most OTC “boosters” have negligible effect and potential side effects. Medically supervised bioidentical TRT is the safest, most effective approach.
Can I combine TRT with other treatments?
Yes. TRT may complement ED treatments and other male procedures. We’ll design a custom plan around your goals.
Are there risks with TRT?
Like any medical therapy, TRT has potential risks and side effects. You’ll receive clear guidance and monitoring so you can make an informed decision.
