Dr Decio which is Portugal - Paulo - 04-13-2015
Hello
Does anyone know the result of surgery Dr Decio which is Portugal? I would like to indication of surgery using abdominal tissue technique. Do not want to take tissue of the arms or back.
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Joshua - 04-13-2015
Bom dia, Paulo.
I know of someone who had surgery with Dr. João Deci Ferreira and is pleased with the results, but there aren't a lot of details to be found online.
Dr. Ferreira's website does have some information and photos though:
Resultado de faloplastia
Resultado de Faloplastia-2
If you find out more, please let me know.
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Paulo - 04-24-2015
Hello, thanks.
I talked by email to him, and was quite attentive. I also talked with Dr Ivan Enriquez, MX - but they do not have photos and also did not find information on the internet.
I'll watching the forum, if you discover something return to post.
Sorry for the bad English, my language is Portuguese.
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Joshua - 04-25-2015
Obrigado, Paulo! I appreciate you returning to report back on what you found out.
Have you considered Dr. Ivan Mañero in Barcelona? I think he primarily does RFF phalloplasty but maybe he's also open to performing other procedures.

I will enter the information I got by email Dr Ivan Mañero. If not allowed to disseminate the values, please edit.
"The multi-specialty surgical team we have assembled for you in Mexico is
outstanding and really is a TEAM. Headed by Dr Ivan, he speaks excellent
English and is a reconstructive urologist, NOT a general or plastic surgeon turned SRS surgeon! Dr Ivan was recently invited to be a guest surgeon with the well-respected Dr Marcie Bowers in California. His skilled SRS team includes a general surgeon and a plastic surgeon.
First, know that we do abide by the WPATH standards for transgender
surgery. The standards for FTM are...
1. Minimum 1.5 to 2 years on hormone/testosterone therapy
-- testosterone causes the clitoris to grow, making for a bigger penis.
2. Living min of one year as a male
3. Letter from psychotherapist stating gender dysphoria
4. Healthy and fit for surgery (HIV & HEPATITIS negative)
The Phalloplasty is a 3-stage procedure and is a less expensive
alternative to microsurgical phalloplasties that uses conjoined bilateral
pedicled groin flaps.
The final penis size depends on the patient but averages just over 4
inches long by 1.75 inches wide. (7-10 cm). Scars are easily concealed by
underwear or a swimsuit.
Patients can stand to urinate, and sexual intercourse with a partner is
also possible. Erotic sensation and orgasm continues to be provided by the
clitoris preserved at the base of the neophallus. Patients report tactile
sensation in the bottom half of the penis.
Implantation of a malleable erectile prothesis are required, but
inflatable devices are not possible.
Surgery Stages (3 months apart)
- Stage One - Phalloplasty, create penis (using abdomen)
- Stage Two - Vaginectomy, Urethroplasty
- Stage Three - Penile and testes Prothesis Implantation
This three-stage procedure has a higher risk of complications and
reconstruction is long process. There is more healing time after each
stage and each surgery takes 5-7 hours! It can be taxing on the body,
just keep this in mind.
Surgery Costs:
Total for all stages of Kim FTM Phalloplasty is approximately $15,500 USD.
- Stage One requires seven nights stay in hospital - approx. $8,000 USD
- Stage Two requires 3-4 nights in hospital - approx. $3,500 USD
- Stage Three requires 3 nights in hospital - approx. $4,500 USD
The Metoidioplasty is a faster transformation...
Metoioidoplasty alone $ 5,000 USD
Complete Metoidioplasty : $ 10,000 USD
1. Liberate the clitoris
2. Urethra formation
3. Vaginectomy (hysterectomy too)
4. Prosthetics (testes)
5. No penile prosthetics at original surgery.
6. Penis will be 5-7 cm
It doesn't require a second surgical site and can later be converted to a
phalloplasty, if needed.
Patients have the ability to urinate while standing, it preserves erotic
sensation and can be combined with hysterectomy. It requires 4 days in
hospital and you need to stay 14 days post op discharge.
A hysterectomy can be performed at just about any stage. The cost is an additional US$4500 performed Laporoscopically.
You will have full nursing support both in the hospital and they will attend to you everyday in your hotel room once you are discharged, helping you with sterile bandage changes, hygiene, support and generally be the surgeon's eyes between your post-op visits to him. We want you home on time, on budget and well-healed!
You’ll learn more about all of the team as your journey with us
progresses. Once you are cleared to return home, the follow up should continue with your local doctor. "
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Joshua - 05-08-2015
Thanks again, Paulo.
This information is from Dr. Ivan Enriquez in MX. He's been developing his SRS practice over the past few years and it's good to see them making progress (and they've dropped their phallo pricing by $9k.)
I was referring to Dr. Ivan Mañero in Spain, a little closer to you. You can see a video about him performing FTM phallo in this video from a TV show: http://www.phallo.net/resources/rff-phalloplasty-manero.htm
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Paulo - 05-10-2015
Ah ok, after post I realized on the two Dr. Ivan. Thank you for the information. As for surgery Dr Decio Ferreira, seen in an interview where he says that the phallus to be done with a piece of costal cartilage, this will be able to break, I found it strange ...
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Mike - 06-13-2015
Hi, Paulo, you know the Dr. Decio's e-mail? I have tried contacted him using his site but he did not answer. You have some idea of his prices? Sorry for the bad english.

Costal cartilage is from the rib cage; used instead of an erectile device (similar to Fibula Flap.) It's not done in North America, more prevalent in Europe. Dr. Daverio in Germany used to offer this. There's a bit of info, and a few photos, in this article.
RE: Dr Decio which is Portugal - Joshua - 11-12-2019
This is an older post, but I just came across this blog by a patient of Dr. Ferreira's, might be helpful for those considering him as a surgeon.
