Ready to explore how it all works? Let’s take a look.
Understanding Phalloplasty and What’s Involved
Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure to construct or reconstruct a penis. It’s commonly performed for transgender men but may also be chosen by cisgender men due to congenital conditions or trauma-related injury.WikipediaJohns Hopkins Medicine
Typical Steps in the Process
Phalloplasty often involves multiple surgical stages:
- Stage 1: A donor tissue flap—commonly taken from the forearm (radial forearm free flap), thigh (anterolateral thigh flap), or abdomen—is shaped into a neophallus.Johns Hopkins MedicineBookimedWikipedia
- Stage 2 (usually around 5–6 months later): Urethral lengthening, scrotum creation, and glans sculpting are added as needed.WebMDJohns Hopkins Medicine
- Stage 3 (often 6–12 months after stage 2): This may include placement of erectile and testicular implants.Johns Hopkins MedicineWebMD
Each plan is highly individualized and crafted to meet your functional and aesthetic goals.
Recovery Timeline & Aftercare
Phalloplasty recovery is significant, but with careful planning and support, it’s manageable:
- Hospital Stay: 4–5 days post–first-stage surgery to monitor flap health and urinary function. Subsequent stages typically require less or no inpatient time.Johns Hopkins MedicineUniversity of Utah Healthcare
- Work & Activity: Most people resume light work within 4–6 weeks (longer if physically demanding tasks are involved).HealthlineUniversity of Utah Healthcare
- Continued Healing: Full functional and sensory recovery, including sensation and implant readiness, may continue for a year or longer.HealthlineWebMDWorldwide Care

Risks to Know
Phalloplasty is a complex surgery, and it carries specific risks—especially in the absence of high surgical expertise:
- Urethral complications like fistulas or strictures
- Flap failure, where the transferred tissue doesn’t survive
- Wound breakdown, infection, or bleeding
- Donor site issues such as scarring, discoloration, or reduced mobility
- Potential lack of sensation or nerve healing delaysHealthlineRealSelf.comWorldwide Care
These risks underscore the importance of choosing experienced surgical teams in properly equipped facilities.
