Hi there,
Tell me who knows - in which countries possible to make phalloplasty inexpensively and with a good result?
If you share prices too, I will be very grateful.
Maybe there are websites where is possible see the results of phalloplasty and reviews about surgeons from different countries?
Thanks
Hi Nebulon,
Welcome to Susan's!
I don't have anything to share about phalloplasty, just wanted to welcome you to the community.
Hopefully, someone else will chime in with information for your request.

Welcome Nebulon!

Hi Nebulon My name is
Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!
I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well. I'm sorry I have not welcomed you sooner, however I have been putting together a summary of the various options that are available in Phalloplasty. You did not say what type of surgery you were after.
There is no inexpensive Phalloplasty, it is expensive depending on what your preferences are. If it is cheap then I would think twice going with that option.
Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure that constructs or reconstructs a penis. Various techniques are employed, each with its own advantages, disadvantages and cost implications. Here's an overview of the primary methods and their approximate costs:
Radial Forearm Free-Flap (RFFF) Phalloplasty:- Technique: Utilizes skin, nerves and blood vessels from the forearm to construct the penis. This method often provides better tactile sensation but results in a visible scar on the forearm.
- Cost: In the United States, the procedure ranges from $25,000 to $35,000. However, total costs, including hospital fees, anaesthesia and medications, can escalate to $150,000 or more.
Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) Phalloplasty:- Technique: Involves harvesting tissue from the thigh. This approach leaves less visible scarring but may offer reduced sensation compared to the RFFF method.
- Cost: Similar to RFFF, with variations depending on the surgical centre and additional procedures required.
Musculocutaneous Latissimus Dorsi (MLD) Flap Phalloplasty:- Technique: Uses skin and muscle from the back. The resulting scar can be concealed under clothing. Sensation may be less compared to RFFF.
- Cost: Comparable to other phalloplasty methods, with specific pricing dependent on individual cases.
Metoidioplasty:- Technique: A less invasive alternative where the hormonal enlarged clitoris is released and extended to function as a neophallus. This method typically results in a smaller phallus but preserves erectile function and sensation.
- Cost: Ranges from $6,000 to $30,000, depending on the extent of the procedure and geographic location.
International Cost Variations:- Thailand: Offers phalloplasty procedures between $12,000 and $25,000, making it up to 85% cheaper than in the U.S.
- Turkey: Procedures range from $10,000 to $15,000.
- Mexico: Costs between $32,000 and $40,000.
Additional Considerations:- Insurance Coverage: Some insurance companies may cover part or all of the phalloplasty costs, especially when deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies by provider and individual policies.
- Pre-Operative Requirements: Patients may need to undergo hair removal at the donor site, hormone therapy and mental health evaluations before surgery.
- Post-Operative Expenses: Additional costs can include hospital stays, anaesthesia, medications and potential follow-up surgeries to address complications or for aesthetic refinements.
It's essential to consult with qualified surgeons to determine the most appropriate surgical approach based on individual goals, health status and financial considerations.
To help you move forward, You will need a letter or two surgery letters who are qualified from a gender therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, or counsellor. In addition any requests from the surgeon would also have to be taken into consideration.
They can help you work through your thoughts and untangle all those "what ifs." These professionals can provide valuable insights into your feelings, assist you in understanding your identity, and guide you in figuring out the next steps, if any, that feel right for you.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members
In addition members of Susan's will more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.
Take care and all the best for the future.
Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!Best Wishes AlwaysSarah BGlobal Moderator@Devlyn @Jessica_Rose @Mariah @Northern Star Girl @Lori Dee @Nebulon

Will do. I just was told that here are guys who have already made phalloplasty and they can share information.
Quote from: Sarah B on March 20, 2025, 07:35:29 PMYou did not say what type of surgery you were after.
Yes, cause I am still thinking what will suit me best - RFFF, ALT or MLD Phalloplasty.
I appreciate that you gave me an approximate disposition of prices and description of operations!
It is already definitely something at least approximately where is to start my search.
Girls, thank you very much for your support!
