The ability to feel sensation in the penis after phalloplasty surgery varies from person to person. Some people may experience some sensation, while others may not feel anything at all.

The amount of sensation that is regained depends on a number of factors, including the type of surgery that is performed, the skill of the surgeon, and the individual’s body.
In general, phalloplasty surgery can be divided into two main types:
⦁ Metoidioplasty: This surgery involves the release of the clitoris and the creation of a phallus from the existing tissue. Metoidioplasty can result in some sensation, but it is typically not as much sensation as is experienced with a penis that has been constructed from penile tissue.

⦁ Phalloplasty: This surgery involves the use of tissue from another part of the body, such as the arm or leg, to create a penis. Phalloplasty can result in more sensation than metoidioplasty, but it is still not the same as the sensation that is experienced with a biological penis.

It is important to note that sensation in the penis after phalloplasty surgery can take time to develop. It may take several months or even years for the nerves to fully heal and for the person to regain sensation.

If you are considering phalloplasty surgery, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the procedure. Your doctor can help you determine if phalloplasty surgery is the right treatment option for you.

Yes, after undergoing female-to-male (FTM) bottom surgery, commonly known as phalloplasty, trans men can experience sensation in their neophallus (constructed penis). Sensation in the neophallus can vary among individuals, as it depends on various factors such as surgical techniques, nerve preservation, and individual healing processes.

During phalloplasty, sensory nerves from the donor site (often the forearm, thigh, or other donor areas) are connected to the neophallus to enable sensation. The extent and quality of sensation can gradually develop and improve over time as the nerves heal and reestablish connections. It is important to note that it may take several months or even up to a year for the nerves to regenerate and for sensation to fully develop.

However, it is essential to manage expectations and understand that not all individuals will experience the same degree or type of sensation. The sensation can vary from person to person and may include different sensations such as touch, pressure, or temperature. It’s important to have open and honest discussions with your surgeon during the pre-operative consultations to understand the potential outcomes and manage your expectations.

It is recommended to consult with qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in transgender healthcare and have experience with phalloplasty procedures. They can provide you with specific information about the surgical techniques used, potential outcomes, and the expected timeline for sensation recovery based on your individual circumstances.
