Phalloplasty
General Information
Also called phallo, this surgery is used for the creation of a penis using a skin graft. A skin graft is a procedure in which the skin and nerves from one part of the body are removed, and used for another purpose. In this case, the purpose is to create a penis. This surgery can take place before or without another surgery known as meta.
Glanplasty (formation of glands at the tip of the phallus) is often performed alongside the rest of the surgery.
Medical tattooing is often performed after healing from surgery, to make results look more natural.
Variables Which Can Affect Results
- Length of time on testosterone prior to surgery.
- Sensation at the donor site/the donor site itself.
- Functionality (depends on procedure).
- Donor site location (depends on body type).
- Complications (depends on body, donor site, etc).
- Recovery (depends on donor location, integra, thickness back over donor site, and other procedures.)
Types of Phalloplasty
Abdominal Phalloplasty (also known as Supra-Public Phalloplasty)
The donor site is the abdominal area. Abdominal Phalloplasty has less scarring than other procedures.
ALT - Anterolateral Thigh
ALT is a form of phalloplasty which uses the thigh as a donor site. The donor site may require additional procedures to be aesthetically pleasing after this surgery.
MLD - Musculocutaneous Latissimus Dorsi
MLD Flap Phalloplasty uses the back as a donor site.
RFF - Radial Forearm Flap
RFF is a form of phalloplasty which uses the arm as a donor site. RFF is the most common form of phalloplasty. Due to the nature of the forearm (general lack of hair), it is easier for this donor site to be worked with.
SSP - Single Scare Phalloplasty
SSP is a variation of ALT with less scarring.
