What happens during penis enlargement

What does the surgeon do, how does the procedure work and what does it mean for function? These are the basics. Dr. Jethon answers your individual questions during your appointment.

01

More length, more girth or both

Treatment increases visible length, circumference or both in one operation. The right approach depends on your anatomy and your goals.

02

Access through the pubic area

For lengthening, Dr. Jethon makes a small incision in the pubic area. The supporting ligaments are released and repositioned so that more of the internal part becomes visible. For added girth, your own fat is placed beneath the skin.

03

An outpatient procedure lasting around 60 to 90 minutes

Dr. Jethon performs the operation himself, usually under sedation, or under general anaesthesia if requested. Once healing is complete, the result is generally lasting.

Will erectile function be preserved?

The aim is to preserve erectile function. Lengthening involves the supporting ligaments; thickening involves the tissue beneath the skin. The erectile bodies and the nerves and blood vessels important for erections are not intentionally altered. Dr. Jethon explains individual risks and possible effects before you decide.

Dr. Jethon also addresses this common question in the video at the top of the page.

Achievable changes depend on individual anatomy. These figures do not guarantee a particular result. Dr. Jethon discusses what is realistic for you in person.

Hans★★★★★
“In den vergangenen zwei Jahren habe ich insgesamt sechs Operationen durchführen lassen und hatte dadurch einen sehr klaren Vergleichsmaßstab dafür, was echte ärztliche Qualität, Erfahrung und Verlässlichkeit ausmacht. Dr. Jethon hebt sich für mich in diesem Vergleich in vorbildlicher Weise ab. Er verbindet hohe fachliche Präzision mit einer ruhigen, souveränen und diskreten Art, die von Anfang an Vertrauen schafft. Die Beratung war differenziert, klar und medizinisch fundiert, die Aufklärung ausführlich und verständlich, der gesamte Ablauf professionell und auf hohem Niveau organisiert. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie selbstverständlich hier Seriosität, Erfahrung, Genauigkeit und ein respektvoller Umgang zusammenkommen. Auch in der Nachsorge hatte ich jederzeit den Eindruck, medizinisch in sehr guten Händen zu sein. Für mich steht Dr. Jethon für ein außergewöhnlich hohes Maß an ärztlicher Qualität und Professionalität. Eine klare Empfehlung.”

FREQUENTLY QUESTIONS

Penis enlargement & penis lengthening: What men really want to know.

What is possible? How does the operation work? And what changes after that? Anyone thinking about penis enlargement has a lot of questions - including ones that you don't want to ask everyone. Here you will find understandable and honest answers. Personal, to the point and without complicated technical language.

Opportunities and results

Can you actually permanently enlarge your penis?

Yes. The visible length or circumference of the penis can be changed with a surgical procedure. Which method is suitable depends on what you want and what physical requirements you have.

During penis enlargement, a part of the penis that is normally hidden in the body is moved further out. Penis thickening involves using the body's own fat to increase its girth.

The difference is important: the surgical lengthening changes the visible length, not the actual length of the erectile tissue. If there is thickening, some of the fat introduced can be broken down again over time. That's why the results vary from person to person.

What is the difference between penis lengthening and penis thickening?

Quite simply: penis enlargement is about length, penis thickening is about circumference.

For the lengthening, the retaining suspensory ligaments in the pubic area are surgically released. This allows a previously internal part of the penis to protrude further to the outside.

During thickening, fat is taken from another area of ​​the body, processed and placed under the skin of the penis. This can make the penis appear fuller.

Both interventions can also be combined with one another if the conditions are suitable. Dr. discusses which option makes sense. Jethon personally with you.

How many centimeters can my penis gain through surgery?

The PraxisClinic Jadore gives an additional visible length of around 3 to 6 cm as a guideline for penis lengthening. When thickening, a possible increase in circumference of around 2 to 3 cm is stated.

These are not fixed values ​​that every man achieves. Anatomy plays a big role. This is why an operation can turn out differently for two men.

Dr. Jethon examines your personal requirements and explains to you which change is realistic in your case.

Will my penis be longer even with an erection after lengthening?

This question is particularly important because the visible length when flaccid and the length when erection are not the same.

The operation makes a previously internal part of the penis more visible. However, this does not automatically mean that the penis becomes longer by the same number of centimeters during an erection.

What change can be expected in both conditions depends on your anatomy and the surgical technique chosen. Dr. Before the procedure, Jethon will explain to you exactly what is possible and what the limits are.

Safety, sexuality and possible risks

Will erectile function, feeling and fertility be preserved?

The surgical techniques are designed to protect the structures important for erection. During the extension, the retaining ligaments in the pubic area are treated. During thickening, the body's own fat is placed under the skin.

The erectile tissue itself is usually not changed surgically in these procedures. The organs responsible for fertility are also not the target of the procedure.

Nevertheless, every operation is associated with risks. Changes in feeling, erectile function or other complications cannot be completely ruled out. Dr. Jethon will explain to you in advance what risks exist with the planned treatment.

What are the risks of penis enlargement?

As with any surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, or problems with wound healing.

Depending on the procedure, further changes are possible. For example, after an extension, scars, changes in the erection angle or a result that does not meet expectations may occur. If it thickens, your own fat can be distributed unevenly or partially broken down again.

Dr. Jethon has more than 20 years of experience and has performed over 6,000 surgeries. This experience is important for planning and implementation. However, it does not replace an individual discussion of possible complications.

Is penile surgery painful?

You should not feel any pain during the operation. Depending on the treatment and personal situation, the procedure is carried out under a suitable form of anesthesia, often in twilight sleep or under general anesthesia.

After the operation, temporary pain, tension and swelling may occur. This is not uncommon after a surgical procedure. How severe the symptoms are and how long they last varies from person to person.

You will receive information about which painkillers are suitable, how to protect the treated area and which complaints you should contact the practice about.

Are there visible scars left after the operation?

Penis enlargement requires an incision in the pubic area. A scar appears there. Dr. When planning, Jethon takes into account that it should be as inconspicuous as possible.

How visible a scar is later depends, among other things, on the incision, wound healing and your personal tendency to scar formation.

If the penis is thickened with your own fat, small puncture points are also created for removing fat and inserting the fatty tissue. These also have to heal.

Can the result change again later?

Yes, that is possible. Especially when the penis is thickened with its own fat, the body can break down some of the fatty tissue that has been introduced. This means that the circumference may decrease slightly after the operation.

Healing and scarring can also affect what the final result looks like. Therefore, the result cannot be conclusively assessed immediately after the procedure.

In the case of an extension, the changes are generally permanent. How stable the visible result remains also depends on your personal requirements and the healing process.

Surgery, healing and everyday life

How does penis lengthening or penis thickening work?

First there is a personal consultation with Dr. Jethon instead. You will discuss your wishes, your health requirements and the appropriate treatment.

During penis lengthening, the ligaments of the penis are released through an incision in the pubic area and the tissue structures are repositioned according to the chosen technique. This allows more of the previously internal penis length to become visible.

When penis thickening occurs, fatty tissue is removed from another region of the body, processed and then inserted under the skin of the penis. If the conditions are suitable, both methods can be combined with each other.

After the procedure, you will initially be monitored and given detailed instructions for the next few days. You can usually leave the practice on the same day.

How long does the operation take and what anesthesia is used?

The surgical procedure usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes. The exact duration depends on whether lengthening, thickening or a combination is being performed.

A twilight sleep is often sufficient. If desired or if it makes medical sense, general anesthesia can also be an option.

The operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis. This means that you usually do not have to stay in the clinic overnight. Nevertheless, plan enough time for preparation and recovery after the procedure.

How long will I be restricted after penile surgery?

After the procedure, your body needs time to recover. Swelling, bruising and a feeling of tension may occur, especially in the first few days.

Depending on the healing process, light everyday activities are often possible again relatively early. However, you should plan around two to three weeks for many usual activities. Physically demanding work may require a longer break.

How quickly you can recover depends on the operation and your personal healing. Dr. Jethon gives you specific recommendations.

When can I exercise, work and have sex again?

This depends primarily on how well the wounds heal and how much strain the treated area is still under.

If the job is predominantly sedentary, it is often possible to return to work earlier than with heavy physical work. Sports, intensive training and sexual intercourse require more patience.

As a guide, the practice recommends exercise and sexual intercourse approximately five weeks after the operation. However, the decisive factor is always the individual healing process and medical clearance.

Even if you feel fit again beforehand, you should not put pressure on the treated area too early.

Costs, advice and personal decision

How much does penis enlargement cost and is it possible to pay in installments?

The costs depend on which treatment you want and how much effort is required.

The following guide prices are mentioned on the PraxisClinic Jadore treatment pages:

  • Penis extension: from around €7,700
  • Penis thickening: from around €6,400
  • Combination of lengthening and thickening: from around €9,900
  • Enlargement in a flaccid state without releasing the suspensory ligaments: around €4,800

In a personal conversation you will find out which treatment is suitable for you and what costs you can expect. You will receive an individual cost plan before you decide.

According to the practice, payment in installments is also possible. You can ask for the specific conditions directly from the consultation.

Does health insurance cover the costs of penis enlargement?

In most cases not. Penis enlargement for aesthetic reasons is usually considered a self-pay service. This means that you bear the costs yourself.

Things can look different if there is a medically justified illness or a particular physical impairment. Whether a health insurance company will cover costs must be checked on a case-by-case basis.

During the consultation you can clarify what options exist for your personal situation.

Who carries out the operation and how discreet is the consultation?

Your contact person is Dr. med. Christoph Jethon, specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery. He has more than 20 years of experience and has performed over 6,000 surgeries.

The personal conversation takes place in a protected setting. You can talk openly about your wishes, even if the topic initially makes you uncomfortable. Questions about penis size, your own body image or your sex life are part of everyday life with this treatment.

The discussions are subject to medical confidentiality. Dr. Jethon will discuss with you personally what treatment options exist and what results are realistic.

You don't have to sugarcoat anything or justify your questions.

Do I have to decide on an operation at the consultation appointment?

No. A consultation appointment does not mean that you have to have surgery straight away.

You can ask your questions, get to know the treatment options and have them explain to you in peace what makes medical sense. This also includes possible risks, the healing process and the costs.

You then take the information and your individual treatment plan home with you. There you can think everything through and decide whether you want to take the next step.

Penile surgery is a personal decision. You can take the time you need for this.

Are corrections possible after previous penile surgery?

In principle, further treatments or corrections can be considered even after penile surgery has already been carried out.

Perhaps you are not satisfied with the result, a noticeable scar has formed, or the change does not meet your expectations. In the case of thickening, for example, an uneven distribution of your own fat can also play a role.

However, whether a correction is possible and useful can only be assessed after an examination. This depends, among other things, on the previous operation, the existing tissue and the healing status.

Dr. Jethon can discuss with you what options exist and what limitations need to be taken into account.

All information is general and does not replace a personal medical consultation. Results vary between individuals.
