Phalloplasty is reconstructive surgery that makes it possible to create external male genitalia using tissue from another part of the body. One of the most common techniques uses skin, blood vessels, and nerves from the forearm.

The donor site may be left with an extensive scar, and there are potential risks, such as changes in sensitivity, discomfort, or healing problems. However, not everyone experiences permanent limitations, and the results depend on each case and the recovery process.
