"I am a RN so I was skeptical at first that the level of care, cleanliness and professionalism would meet the standards that I was used to. Well, not only did the standards meet my expectations, they exceeded them. The clinic was far cleaner than any hospital or clinic that I had ever been in. The staff were top notch and very professional. My nurse, Lin was one of the most competent nurses that I have ever met."

Dr. Kamol performs three different methods of FTM Phalloplasty:
1) Combined ALT Phalloplasty, with Forearm Graft for Neo-Urethra
Stage 1: Anterolateral Thigh Flap - Pedicled technique without need for microsurgery for lower risks. Includes Urethroplasty and Scrotoplasty. Urethra is constructed using a small radial forearm graft. Thigh is covered with split thickness skin graft.
Stage 2: In 6-12 months, Penile and Testicular Implants, if desired.
The best results are typically achieved in patients who are thin or near their ideal body weight.
2) Radial Forearm Flap (RFF) Phalloplasty
Stage 1: Radial Forearm Flap with microsurgery.
Stage 2: In 6-12 months, Penile and Testicular Implants, if desired.
Patients with thin, small forearms are less suited to this procedure.
3) Fibula Free Flap Phalloplasty
Stage 1: Pre-lamination of urethral graft.
Stage 2: 6-18 months later, penis is constructed with graft from lower leg. Fibula bone is incorporated into the penis for rigidity (instead of Penile Implant.)
Urethral Lengthening is performed using either a vaginal mucosa flap (VMF) technique or a inner labia and local flap (ILLF) technique. VMF offers a lower complication rate but must be performed separately from Stage 1 Phalloplasty. ILLF can be done during Stage 1 Phalloplasty but comes with increased risk of urethral complcations.
Scrotoplasty is performed using labia majora tissue. Tissue Expanders can be used before implantation of Testicular Implants. This helps stretch the neo-scrotum to accommodate the implants.
