The way I understand things about this type of phalloplasty, it's definitely not the "easy ride" many men who get it done seem to think. Average cost is around $3,000-$5,000. From the little bit of homework I have done so far, the surgeon will give you a consultation pre-surgery and part of what he will tell you is along the lines of: "You may gain between one to three inches from this surgery. After the surgery you will be likely to see about a one inch increase in flaccid length. If you follow the post op (post operation) protocol of hanging weights for (insert number of months), your potential for gain increases". Of course, legally he cannot guarantee you will gain anything at all. This type of surgery is an "elective" procedure and still considered experimental. From what I have seen in my own research, the men who are not happy with their results do not follow the post-op protocol. It's risky sure, but for some men the potential for gains seems to outweigh the potential negative complications. Personally, if I were to have any type of surgery on my penis, it would ONLY be lengthening. It seems to show the lowest risk for complications.
