Misconceptions about Phalloplasty

How will they close the hole without lengthening the urethra?  How will you pee?  Curious as I was under the impression the hole couldn't be done without the lengthening.

I know they can sort of move the urethra without lengthening it so you can pee out the base or behind the balls. I guess thats how they could do it, but I know a lot of surgeons won't.

I know this post is old but I was wondering if anyone had the video of the phalloplasty they could email me?   Thanks!

Yay for Youtube!

Kyle, search for "My Transsexual Summer episode 2" and you should find the correct clip at around the 19:40 mark.

I believe they can (and have read/heard this) but not sure exactly what they do.

Anyone know exactly where the microphallus is located in the completed penis? Is it close to the skin surface for easy stimulation? Or is it embedded deep inside the tissue of the new appendage?

I also understand that it's possible to not bury the microphallus in the penis--you can leave it exposed underneath the penis. Does anyone here have that arrangement?

What i understand from my husbands was it is trimmed (polite wording) to access the nerves that are connected to the new phallo. Then buried in the base.

I know less about the ftm then the mtf so it has been a learning curve for me.

Like our GCS each surgeon i think does there own techniques.

I guess ask each surgeon.

Hi all,
I've recently started getting curious about a phalloplasty. I never before thought I'd want to get it done, but the idea is becoming more appealing. It'd be great if anyone who has had it done could get in touch with me and talk to me about it?
Also, someone mentioned earlier about a link to a youtube video. I think the video has been removed. Any chance of getting it sent over to me?

Hi cascado,

Best advice would be to read through the Bottom Surgery subforum here. There is a lot of general information about specific procedures, experiences with surgeons, and people's full experiences with phalloplasty. There are also a few Facebook groups where people regularly share their experiences that I would recommend.

I would say - do some research here and elsewhere online and try to decide what exact procedures you're most interested in pursuing. There's so much information out there that it can be overwhelming to go into it with no ideas. You may also find that in figuring out what exactly you want, you'll cross off a lot of non-options.
