Hi,
In my class we were talking about this,
when a girl wants to go into a surgery to become a man, does she gets the full penis (a working one) ... or how does it works?
 
Female to male bottom surgery, is not as advanced as male to female bottom surgery. Unlike transwomen, whose current genitalia is used as materials for constructed the new genitalia, transmen don't have that "extra" tissue to shape into a penis. It's hard to make something out of nothing. There are two main surgeries for bottom surgery for transmen. Hormones will lengthen the clitoris, somewhere in the range of 2-4 inches (if one is lucky) that behaves like a small penis, getting erections etc. One surgery metoidioplasy, creates a small penis of the lengthened clitoris, so that one can pee through it, usually silicone implants are put in to simulate testes. This surgery is less invasive than phalloplasty, which takes a flap of skin, usually from the forearm, or the side, an shapes it into a new phallus. It results in large issues of scarring. And the new phallus may be rejected. Orgasm or sensual feeling may be lost, and the phallus needs an implanted pump, or rod to become erect. Neither surgeries enable a transman to produce sperm, since science isn't advanced enough to give a transman internal reproductive organs. So for transmen, the options are a little bleak.
 
The genitals of the person are surgically altered to look like a penis and scrotum. In transgendered men, however, the urethra has to be lengthened to pass through the new penis, and this is a very complicated procedure. The organ can be a graft from another body part, such as a section of an arm or leg. It will need prosthetics to be come erect, however, and it can never be used to fertilise women.
