Which is better a metoidioplasty or phalloplasty
- Kristina from Macedonia writes:
- Dear Kristina,
- A metoidioplasty is a lot less expensive and
- is very satisfying for many especially those who do not
- desire penetrable sexually relations.
- Your sensation should be preserved 100% which is
- not always true for phalloplasties as there will
- need to be a neural hook up. Also with phalloplasties
- there is a disfiguring harvesting scar either
- on the forearm, or back, or lower abdomen.
- But if all works well, you wind up with a normal
- adult sized phallus.
- If you have a metoidioplasty, this could be later
- converted into a phalloplasty, but better to go in the
- right direction from the start.
- Your call.
