I had RFF phalloplasty with the Meltzer Clinic in May 2021 and will be having scrotoplasty, urethal hook-up and glansplasty in August 2021. I am beyond grateful for the level of care that I have received and I am thrilled with my results. My phallus is larger than I ever thought possible with RFF (6.1″x5″) and I am so happy with my healing I wouldn’t change anything.
