Title: Phalloplasty Surgeons in US? Suggestions please!
Post by: phallohelp on July 25, 2014, 03:47:47 PM
I have recently been approved by insurance to have bottom surgery with Dr. Loren Schechter. I am extremely excited however, am having some issues finding pictures and testimonials from him. Has anyone heard of him, experienced his FTM work? please help! Thank you!

He has a section of the medical reference "Plastic Surgery" written by him but it just describes the surgery and references another surgeon. He has a lot of experience in surgery in general but I don't see anything special about him in terms of making a better end result. He performs standard fare pedicled/free flap phalloplasty with graft location likely arm unless able to graft from elsewhere. Urethral lengthening seems to be mixed source. One part of the description says oral mucosa, then he refers to vaginal mucosa and finally claims to use labia minora for "tube within a tube."

Phallo is only mentioned in surgical management of intersex persons (boo) while the detail is in meta surgery.
