Michael Phillips, the South Carolina man who has turned a private medical diagnosis into a public campaign against body shaming, says he has booked a penile-enhancement procedure after supporters donated almost £9,560 ($12,797) through GoFundMe.
The 38-year-old's crowdfunding appeal is now at the centre of a story that began with television and online interviews about the condition he says affects his confidence, dating life and ability to urinate. Phillips told the Guardian on 5 July that he had booked treatment at a facility closer to home. He has not identified the provider, procedure date or clinician.
