ALT Phalloplasty (Anterolateral Thigh Flap) is an advanced gender-affirming surgery used to construct a male genital organ using tissue from the outer thigh. This technique is increasingly popular among transgender men seeking a more natural appearance while minimizing visible scarring on the arm.
At Siamese Hospital, we offer ALT phalloplasty in Thailand with a personalized surgical approach, combining microsurgical expertise and international hospital standards.

ALT Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure that uses tissue from the anterolateral (outer) thigh to create a new penis. The flap typically includes:
- Skin
- Fat tissue
- Blood vessels
- Nerves
This tissue is carefully transferred and connected to the existing blood supply using microsurgical techniques, allowing the reconstructed organ to survive and function long-term.
In selected cases, urethral lengthening may be performed to allow urination while standing, depending on individual anatomy and treatment planning.

The surgery involves:
- Designing a tissue flap from the thigh
- Transferring the flap to create the penile structure
- Connecting blood vessels and nerves for viability and sensation
This is a highly specialized procedure requiring an experienced surgical team.

This is a highly specialized procedure requiring an experienced surgical team.
ALT phalloplasty is typically performed in multiple stages:
- Pre-operative assessment and flap planning
- Primary surgery to construct the penis
- Recovery and monitoring of both the genital and thigh donor sites
- Secondary procedures (if needed):
- Contouring and refinement
- Urethral correction
- Scrotoplasty (creation of scrotum)
- Penile implant (for rigidity, in later stages)
The full treatment journey may take several months to over one year, depending on individual goals and healing.
- Thigh scars are more easily concealed under clothing
- Ability to create a larger, more natural-looking penis
- Thicker and more durable tissue for structural support
- Suitable for patients who prefer to avoid forearm scars
