During the Procedure
Our surgeries are performed by skilled microsurgeons specializing in genital reconstruction. Phalloplasty and metoidioplasty are multi-stage procedures that require approximately 12 weeks of recovery, with a 6-month interval between stages (if needed). Nerve coaptation techniques are used to maximize sensation and sexual function. Most procedures are performed under general anesthesia, with hospital stays ranging from one to five days. You’ll have a dedicated team monitoring your comfort, healing, and early mobility from the moment you wake up. Catheters, drains, and wound dressings are typically in place for the first few days, and our team will walk you through every step—before, during, and after surgery.
Risks and Recovery
As with any major surgery, these procedures pose risks such as fistula, stricture, scarring, or sensory changes. Initial healing takes several weeks, followed by longer-term monitoring of urinary function, sensation, and tissue integration. Many patients return to daily routines within 2–3 months, with full recovery often continuing up to a year.
Healing doesn’t stop when you leave the hospital—and neither does our care. You’ll have regularly scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing, manage any complications early, and track sensory return. Our team also partners with pelvic floor therapists, urologists , and behavioral health practitioners to ensure your post-op recovery and long-term follow up needs are met.
