Female-to-Male (FTM) bottom surgery is a significant and life-changing procedure for transmasculine individuals, greatly enhancing the alignment of their physical appearance with their true gender identity. At East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, expert care, ensuring that our patients feel supported, informed, and empowered at every stage of their journey. Dr. Marano and Dr. Keith have assembled a world-class team of health professionals to perform gender-affirming genital masculinizing surgery with the use of microsurgical technique. In addition to the expert surgeons of ECAPS, Dr. Keith and Dr. Marano routinely work with board-certified experts from urology and gynecology to safely perform these procedures. In 2018, Dr. Keith performed the first phalloplasty in the state of New Jersey.
WHAT IS PHALLOPLASTY
A phalloplasty is a surgical procedure in which a male-anatomic appearing penis is constructed using autologous tissue (your own tissue from another part of your body). Phalloplasty is a multi-staged procedure, with the combination of stages taking place over at least one year. Each patient’s surgical plan is unique depending on their particular goals.
