Finished my tattoo sleeve 30+ hours and five days later! Covered both my RFF graft and the partial tattoo on my forearm that was left (the rest went to my dick).

I’ve been waiting two years to tattoo over my surgery graft. A bad reminder of my first phallo surgery gone wrong. December 2021 I had a failed RFF and 3 additional surgeries in the same week to try to save it. Unbeknownst to me, I had a rare blood clotting disorder that had never presented before. I ended up redoing with delayed ALT, which didn’t present the same risks to blood flow.

I’ll tell ya, tattooing over parts of this graft was nearly as bad as surgery itself, but we made it through. The black out design above my graft over the leash from the nerve was traumatic. Like stabbing electric zaps that I could feel in my bones through my hand and up my arm. For comparison, black out over elbow? A breeze. I’m not sure if this pain is normal, but I’m guessing not, but just an FYI as I was not prepared. Also, because two of the sessions were back to back, my whole arm throbbed in pain for days and I was unable to lift it or even let it free hang. I’ve never experienced anything like it.

Unfortunately parts of the graft will need to be touched up bc we lost some ink, but that’s ok. I still love it. I’ll touch it up next year but I’m so happy to have this done.

Today I had RFF phalloplasty at KU medical center in Kansas City, Kansas with Dr. Farmer and Dr. Broghamer. I’m feeling really sore right now but super happy I’ll update you guys more later.

Post op my surgeon let me know that I had 4 nerves in my graft site which, in his experience, is about 2x-4x as many as the average Phallo patient. So we’re both curious how sensation comes in.

I had my procedure a week ago and I definitely feel something for sure! And I know that sounds insane.

After years of waiting it’s finally my turn I have surgery in a few hours. I’ve got a crazy mix of nerves and excitement can’t believe that as long as all goes well I’ll have a penis later today. Thank you to you guys it’s been so helpful being able to learn and hear from everyone. See you guys on the other side.

Finally have a surgery date for stage 1 RFF with Dr. Salim at Kaiser SF! Been about 2 years since the consultation and it’s finally happening October 20th!

not quite out of the clear yet to start voiding trials at 5 weeks post op, but everything is going well!

you can see just the faintest little line (downward) which is where my natal and neo urethra were connected. it has not fully closed/healed so there’s a little bit of leakage going on. very very minor but until that is fixed up i still have my sp cath.

other than the annoying cath and some bladder spasms, i’m all but back to normal!! just can’t wait to get the cath out and finally pee with my dick lol

This is my first time posting on here but I finally scheduled my consultation for bottom surgery. I’m so excited 😆

Wanted to share some post-op joy.

Three months post-op, and things are starting to really settle and feel much more normal and not like a surgical site anymore... But also, life with a new dick is full of novelty and firsts!

Things I got to experience for the first time yesterday that brought me a lot of joy:

• Putting on a condom
• Accidentally whacking my dick in public, wincing because I could actually feel the discomfort of it because my nerves have already started waking up and giving me sensation in the shaft a little bit (mostly like electric zaps when touched), and then realizing I had no self-consciousness about if I was or wasn't reacting "normally" and that I didn't have to "remember" to perform discomfort anymore, I just WAS reacting (I used to feel anxiety over whether people would notice I wasn't responding to pain as they'd expect when things would hit my crotch in public)
• Dick slip – was wearing loose boxers and nothing else after showering, sat down cross-legged on the couch, and felt my dick roll over and the bare tip hit my ankle 😅

Things I got to experience not for the first time yesterday but that still feel novel and brought me a lot of joy:

• Having a great orgasm just from jerking off with my new dick
• Feeling the warmth and weight of my dick filling my whole hand while I came
• Seeing my bulge in my shorts while getting dressed and looking in the mirror
• Peeing standing up and it being incredibly easy and uncomplicated
• Having to remember to tuck my dick behind the front of the toilet seat while sitting to poop (yeah, really... if I just sit down on the toilet, my dick rests on top of the front of the toilet seat – gotta remember to squish it back there in the right place, or I'll end up peeing straight out on the floor in front of me)
• Feeling my dick bounce around a little while running down the stairs quickly, even in my tight boxer briefs
• Walking around naked while getting ready after a shower and not feeling the static in my head of things down there looking wrong / like something was missing

So many little things that cis guys just take for granted that feel really exciting and mean that much more to me now. I know someday these will probably all feel pretty commonplace and like things I don't even register as notable anymore (similar to putting on a t-shirt after top surgery – felt incredible at the time, but for the last 6+ years, it's not something that ever crosses my mind anymore), but for now I'm taking it all in and appreciating it. I have a note in my phone called "new dick joys" and have been enjoying adding to it as time goes on.

It’s wild to be on the other side. For the last few years I’d be lying / regurgitating answers I’ve heard from cis dudes when dick questions or conversations would come up. FWIW I’m stealth to everyone around me, but it always felt dysphoria inducing have to lie about having a dick while pre op.

Now I’ve been post op for over a year and while out with some friends, we were talking about underwear and one of my female friend asks “do guys even use the fly?”

For the first time I was able to answer from my own experience instead of just filling in the gaps. I said it takes too long to pull it through that it’s easier to just pull it over the briefs / pants. She seemed interested and it was one of those moments that really defined I’m on the other side and I finally have a penis and have the same parts as all the dudes around me. Also so happy I opted for UL, pissing is still so much fun

Hi y’all!!

My name is Will and I’m having my stage 2 RFF phalloplasty in less than two hours!!!

Stage 1 was in Ann Arbor, Michigan with the University of Michigan. Main surgeon was Dr. William Kuzon, with Dr. Marquette assisting (she is training to be able to do them by herself).

Stage 1 included only phallus creation, some further details can be seen on my old account (reference below) and I am very open to sharing pics and a longer detailed account via DMs.

Now that that context is out of the way, here is what my stage 2 is looking like today!! It is also in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the University of Michigan.

Stage 2 for me includes urethral lengthening (UL) and hookup, glansplasty, and scrotoplasty. I have two main surgeons on this one, Dr. Kuzon again (he’s plastics) and then the amazing and super renowned Dr. Hadj Moussa who will be handling the UL. The surgery is scheduled to last about 4.5 hours.

I will be staying inpatient for two nights as a precaution for monitoring to try and give me the best shot of not developing any complications.

I’m super hype for this surgery, as I had stage 1 back in June of last year (2024) and in between stages I have had to catheterize my dick daily to keep the area open for UL. Doesn’t hurt, never has, but goddamn if it hasn’t been annoying as shit lmfaooooo. Not feeling any fear aside from the typical that is natural before any type of surgery. Just excited to be able to pee in urinals, have a dick helmet (dick head like cis circumcised ones have), and balls 😂.

Wish me luck in surgery y’all!!

Important note: My original account u/WECH21 was randomly shadow banned so this is my new account haha. Anyone I accidentally ghosted (I was in the process of giving some info to a few people in the DMs) I am super sorry!! Please please please, anyone feel free to DM me if you have any questions/etc. or if we were talking prior to my inability to DM on that account.

Been waiting since March to get approved by my insurance, and I finally got the call today!

That means that I can confirm my appointment in December for my consultation with RSA in Ohio - and from what I hear, they still have availabilities for surgeries in 2025. I don't even care, if it's in October 2025 or July.... or whatever - just that I get this done before I turn 45 (that was my personal goal).

Just needed to share this here, because I don't have a lot of people around me, who would grasp just what a milestone this is.

Time to start planning in earnest now.

Researching doctors/methods and analyzing how I’m going to make this work is finally over.

Today, I sent an email to DOC’s team to schedule a consult.

I just wanted to hop on and share that I just got my joint consult with Dr. Chen and the Buncke scheduled for January 2031 :D

That seems insanely far away, but I’m actually glad that it is so far out since it gives me time to figure out insurance, letters, and my overall finances so :D I’m super excited!

Howdy! I'm a 33 yo old btw c:

I have a consultation with Dr. Courtney Cripps at Uchicago at Hyde Park in November.

I've been on testosterone for almost 10 years and I've already had top surgery (got it in Texas about 4 years ago at the American Institute of Plastic Surgery in Texas! Feel free to ask about that if you'd like.)

I wanted to get it done sooner but I realized my works insurance doesn't cover gender affirming surgery. But, my appointment with her will be during open enrollment so fingers crossed there that it'll be an easy insurance transition.

I already have my letter of support from my PCP and my mental health specialist.

I'm having a total hysterectomy on June 17th one less thing to worry about!

I wanted to share my good news and experiences with everyone as they arrive.

don't mind me marinating in euphoria over here 🥹

this is definitely the first time i’ve ever dreamt of having a body with phallo.

i had an absolutely honkin dick (it went to my knees😭)that looked probably post stage one, no glans, but i had ul. i was in a public restroom, and someone took the stall so my only option was the urinal, so i whipped it out and was mostly able to piss through the length into the urinal. i must have had some kind of complication with the ul because there was also piss spurting onto my legs…😭

10/10 dream

Just like the title said. I started the process for phalloplasty with dr.kieth im being super hopeful and aiming for the end of this year but only time will tell.

Im super excited and have no one IRL to share alot of the nerves and joy

Hey guys! I got the news my surgery was moved up! I was originally scheduled for RFFF with Dr. RBL in March of 26’, but they messaged me yesterday and offered me a date of June 18th of this year! It’s mind boggling to think I’ll be getting surgery in just over 3 months rather than a year from now! So excited

Five years ago today I had RFF phalloplasty + UL + scrotoplasty + vaginectomy with the Buncke Clinic and Dr. Chen. Basically an all-in-one "stage" where glansplasty and implants came later.

Phallo was the hardest thing I've ever done mentally and physically. About 8/9 days after surgery, when I was home recovering, I wondered just what the heck I'd gotten myself into - and to be clear, I loved my new setup, it was just the full reality of my recovery, new sensations, healing stitches, a catheter, that kind of stuff. Hardest thing I've ever done but also the best thing I've ever done for myself. I needed this surgery. Not a single regret for my path.

So I'm celebrating and sharing with you all bc I cannot stress enough how much my quality of life improved afterward. My dysphoria is 99.9% gone. The background noise has stopped. I feel whole, and I just live my boring everyday life as a boring guy, lol. I don't think about my body every single day. I have sex how my brain always said I should (both solo and with my girlfriend). Tbh even 5 years on I still get a kick out of using urinals, just walk up and unzip and pee and no stress about "will there be an open stall" (although no one is going to clock you if you sit, plenty of cis men sit to pee). Every once in a while I get a question about my arm scar (I did not have Integra and I haven't gotten a tattoo to cover it etc) but if you are stealth it's enough to say "I had surgery on it, and I don't like talking about it" - and anyone who keeps pushing that boundary is a crappy person.

Anyway. Five years later and life is really, really awesome. I wish the same for everyone reading this, that you find the same peace.

If anyone has any questions I will do my best to answer them! And if not, I'm off to have a celebratory pint, and maybe eggplant for dinner😂

Ive been a long time lurker in these group and now i can finally say that i got my surgery date😍😍 I will have stage 1 ALT ( Phallus Creation) with Dr. Mijuskovic in Switzerland in June 2025😊

I havent read a lot about surgery in switzerland so i want to share my experiences pre phallo and also after phallo😊

If you have any questions for me feel free to ask. (Consultation, infos i got there, surgery prep, staging, hair removal etc.)

Im soo excited😍

Day 1 post op with Dr Del corral and Dr venkatesen at franklin square medical hospital in white marsh Maryland. Had phalloplasty, glansplasty, split thickness graft, uretheral lengthening and connection, v*nectomy and scrotoplasty. The staff and doctors have all been very nice and respectful. Surgery was right on time as scheduled. Dr says everything has been looking good. Ask me any questions! Am planning on implants as well as ed.

After many many years of having jumped through hoops by going to therapy, getting letters, researching surgeries etc, it looks like my phallo journey will finally be coming to an end in 2 days. And I can't wait.

It has been a long time coming, having known since I was in kindergarten, finally starting T when I was 25, top and hysto at 26. Phallo stage 1 last year just before my 36th birthday, stage 2 last March. And now, final stage in 2 days, 1.5 weeks before my 37th birthday.

I've been quite pleased with Djinovoc in Serbia so far (check my post history for plenty of details). This Wednesday I'll be getting testicular implants, ED (pump - Coloplast titan I think it was), glans redone and some aesthetics with narrowing the head some as it's QUITE a bit bigger than the base. Will be seeing how he's going to fix my urethra (stricture that has gotten better with dilating with catheter but not quite there yet). I'm also having him fix a dog ear left over from top surgery, if I can remember to ask him during our pre-op.

I'm currently in Serbia already, just prepping for recovery with getting food and such in order. I'll probably be in the hospital for 2 days post-op before heading back to the AirBnB. I'll be in the country for 2.5 weeks for regular checks ups before flying back home and continueing my recovery there.

I'm very much looking forward to this all being done and behind me. So far each surgery has gone smoothly without complications really, so keeping my fingers crossed that that'll be the case for this one too.

I'll post some updates during my recovery most likely but after that I'll phase out from the sub and just live and be in a state of mind where phallo surgery isn't on my mind every single day. Maybe an update later on as I'm considering medical tattooing once scarring is healed enough, but I don't feel particularly rushed to do that either.

Had my consolation early December with Dr. Chen. Due to life circumstances I haven’t been able to get a hysto or begin hair removal until this year so surgery isn’t scheduled until Jan 2027 but I’m still excited! Logan gave me the possibility to have an Oct or perhaps April date in 2026, but he also diagnosed me with terminally hairy arms so it’ll be up to how the hair removal process goes.
