Phalloplasty Masculinization Surgery

The phalloplasty is a surgical procedure through which a penis of a shape and size similar to that of any CIS male is achieved.

What’s the purpose of a phalloplasty?

The phalloplasty is a surgical technique that consists of reconstructing the genital area to give it a completely masculine appearance. For this procedure, we use a free flap from another area of the body and we place it in the genital area, suturing the artery, the nerve and the vein. In this way we ensure that this tissue transplant is viable and has a natural appearance and length, as closest as possible to the biological penis of a CIS man.

Once the surgery is completed and the long-term follow-up of the patient is finished, his genital appearance is completely natural and similar to that of a cis man in both morphology and length. If the patient wants to have sexual intercourse, the placement of a prosthesis that allows erectility is necessary. Sensitivity is achieved by joining one of the nerves in the genital area with phalloplasty, regardless of this, erogenous sensitivity is preserved because the female clitoris is hidden deep.

Can phalloplasty be performed in a single procedure with urethral reconstruction?

If a hysterectomy and vaginal closure have been previously performed, yes. If, on the other hand, a hysterectomy and vaginal closure have not been performed, we could perform the phalloplasty in a single admission on two consecutive days: one phase of the intervention will be performed on one day and the other phase will be performed on the following day, so it can be considered that it is being performed in a single intervention or surgical time with a single admission.

Is the placement of a prosthesis always necessary?

Basically it depends on what the patient wants in his sex life. If the patient wants to have sexual intercourses with erection and penetration, the placement of a prosthesis is essential.

May complications occur?

All the surgeries carry a risk. Specifically in phalloplasty, which is a very important procedure, the risk of necrosis is there in the transplant tissue performed in the genital area. Another complication that may arise is related to the urethra, just as in metoidioplasty, fistulas and strictures of the urinary tract can occur, which in this case are more frequent given the greater length of the urethra compared to metoidioplasty.

How long will it take to look natural?

We always clarify that these times vary greatly depending on each patient, but since it is a tissue transplant, recovery times are always long since the tissues after being transplanted need a remodeling period that usually lasts months and can reach a year.

What results can i get?

This technique offers the best results for the genital area. This allows us to reach the most natural length and aspect within the male genital area, in addition to being able to urinate standing up, to have sexual intercourses and to have the ability to reach orgasm.
