There are different techniques for phalloplasty. Construction of a new penis (sometimes called a neophallus) typically involves taking a tissue flap from a donor site (such as the forearm). Extending the urethra through the length of the neophallus is another goal of phalloplasty.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Morrison|first=Shane D.|last2=Shakir|first2=Afaaf|last3=Vyas|first3=Krishna S.|last4=Kirby|first4=Johanna|last5=Crane|first5=Curtis N.|last6=Lee|first6=Gordon K.|date=September 2016|title=Phalloplasty: A Review of Techniques and Outcomes|journal=Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery|volume=138|issue=3|pages=594–615|doi=10.1097/PRS.0000000000002518|pmid=27556603|issn=0032-1052}}</ref>.

Temporary lengthening can also be gained by a procedure that releases the suspensory ligament where it is attached to the pubic bone, thereby allowing the penis to be advanced toward the outside of the body. The procedure is performed through a discreet horizontal incision located in the pubic region where the pubic hair will help conceal the incision site. However, scar formation can cause the penis to retract. Therefore, the American Urological Association "considers the division of the suspensory ligament of the penis for increasing penile length in adults to be a procedure which has not been shown to be safe or efficacious."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.auanet.org/guidelines/penile-augmentation-surgery|title=American Urological Association - Penile Augmentation Surgery|website=www.auanet.org|access-date=2018-03-14}}</ref>

As of November 2009, there is research in progress to synthesize ''corpora cavernosa'' (erectile tissue) in the lab on rabbits for eventual use in patients requiring penile construction surgery. Of the rabbits used in the preliminary studies, 8 of 12 had biological responses to sexual stimuli that were similar to the control, and four caused impregnation.<ref>[http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/11/12/0909367106.full "Bioengineered corporal tissue for structural and functional restoration of the penis" by Kuo-Liang Chen, Daniel Eberli, James J.

Up until this stage of the surgery, the process has been consistent with the sanitary practices associated with standard surgical sterility.<ref>Richard Pearcy & Raj Persad, publication date unknown, "Inflatable penile prosthesis," in BJU International Website Atlas of Surgery and Surgical Devices, see [http://www.bjui.org/%5CBJUI_IMAGES%5CSurgicalAtlas%5C234Inflatable%20www%20MD%20formatted.pdf], accessed 31 May 2014</ref> At this stage of the "No-Touch" Technique, after the incision has been made, all instruments, including surgical gloves that have touched skin are discarded. A loose drape is then deployed over the entire surgical field and secured at the periphery with adhesive strips. A small opening in the drape is then made overlying the incision and yellow hooks utilized to secure the edges of the opening to the edges of the incision, completely covering and isolating the patient's skin.  At this point, new instruments and equipment are replaced and the entire prosthesis is inserted through the small opening of the loose drape. The loose drape allows for manipulation of the penis and scrotum required for this procedure without touching the skin.

Implantation of the device continues with an incision and dilation of corpora, sizing and placing the penile cylinders, and placement of the pump in the scrotum and the reservoir in the retropubic space.  Saline is used throughout the implantation for irrigation. Once the corporotomies are closed and all of the tubing and components of the prosthesis covered with a layer of Buck's fascia, subcutaneous tissues are closed and the "No-Touch" drape is removed and the skin closed.<ref name="Eid 2011 5-8" />

As phalloplasty has improved over the decades, the risks and complications from surgery have been reduced. However, there is still a possibility of a need for revision surgery to repair incorrect healing.
