Phalloplasty
Surgical procedures for penile reconstruction or modification, considered only after an individual medical assessment.
What the Procedure Is
Phalloplasty is an umbrella term for procedures with different aims, from reconstruction after trauma or a congenital condition to selected corrections of shape or size.
Who It May Suit
Suitability depends on anatomy, function, medical history and a realistic objective. Not every aesthetic concern is an indication for surgery.
What It Can and Cannot Address
In selected cases it may improve form or function. There is no universal technique, and promises of major risk-free enlargement are not realistic.
How the Consultation Works
The confidential consultation includes examination, sexual and urinary function, expectations, alternatives and the impact of scarring.
How the Procedure Is Performed
The operation may involve local tissue rearrangement, grafts or flaps depending on the indication. A precise plan can only follow direct assessment.
Anaesthesia
The type of anaesthesia depends on the extent of surgery and is agreed with the anaesthetist.
Recovery
Recovery varies considerably. Careful hygiene, temporary sexual abstinence and follow-up appointments are necessary.
Risks and Limits
Risks may include bleeding, infection, scarring, sensory change, asymmetry, erectile or urinary problems and the need for revision.
When Results Are Visible
The result is evaluated after complete healing and tissue maturation. Function and safety take priority over purely aesthetic change.
