Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at lengthening and thickening the male member. As surgical options advance, it is important to understand some key aspects before considering this process.

In this blog, we explore three fundamental things you should know about phalloplasty.

1. Variety of Approaches

Phalloplasty is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. There are several approaches and techniques that plastic surgeons use to meet the specific needs of each patient. The two main approaches are:

a) Lengthening:
This procedure focuses on increasing the length of the penis. It is performed by releasing the ligaments that attach the penis to the pubis, allowing part of the internal member to become exposed. However, it is important to note that lengthening does not guarantee dramatic results and may vary from patient to patient.

b) Thickening:
This variation of phalloplasty focuses on increasing the girth of the penis. It is usually achieved through the injection of fat harvested from another part of the body or through tissue grafts. As with lengthening, results may vary and depend on multiple factors, including individual anatomy.

It is also possible to achieve girth enhancement without surgery using hyaluronic acid fillers.

2. Realistic Expectations

It is crucial to understand that phalloplasty does not radically transform the male member. Results can vary from patient to patient and depend on factors such as initial anatomy, surgical technique, and individual healing capacity. Therefore, it is important to set realistic expectations and maintain open communication with your surgeon to understand what can be achieved.

3. Recovery Process

Recovery after this procedure may require time and patience. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common in the first few weeks. Following your surgeon’s instructions closely is essential to ensure optimal recovery. Returning to normal activities, including sexual activity, may take several weeks or even months, depending on the type of procedure and individual recovery.

This procedure can have a significant impact on confidence and quality of life for some men.
