Pellet therapy is one modality to deliver testosterone and/or estrogen to female patients. It is a simple procedure, completed with a local anesthetic in less than an hour. The patient’s buttocks is numbed with a lidocaine injection, then cleaned and prepped. A small incision, approximately 0.5-1cm, is made, then the pellet (look like a large grain of rice) is placed in the fatty tissue of the buttocks, and the site is closed with steri-strips, gauze, and Tegaderm bandage. The patient is instructed to refrain from strenuous physical activity for 3 days, to allow the tissue to heal around the pellet and prevent extrusion. The pellet will deliver a steady rate of hormones to the patient over a 4-month period, then the patient will be pelleted on the opposite side.
