Is an enlargement of the penis possible?
Yes, penile enlargement – also called penis augmentation – is possible. This term refers to surgical procedures that increase either the visible length (penis lengthening) or the girth (penis thickening) – or both in combination if desired. The goal is to strengthen self-confidence, improve body perception and thus sustainably increase quality of life.
Many men have insecurities about their own penis size. At PraxisClinic Jadore we rely on established, minimally invasive techniques designed for safety and natural-looking results. Access is via a small incision in the pubic area – there is no incision on the penis itself.
- In the lengthening procedure, a larger portion of the inner penis is made visible by releasing and reanchoring certain supporting ligaments.
- The thickening in our clinic is performed using the patient's own fat tissue to achieve a natural increase in girth.
The methods of penile enlargement are designed to achieve natural-looking, stable results – both in everyday life and in the erect state.
Penis lengthening or penis thickening with autologous fat: What is the difference?
In penis lengthening, the position of the internal supporting ligaments is modified via an approximately 3–4 cm incision in the pubic hair area so that a larger portion of the internal part of the penis becomes visible. The surgery usually lasts 60–90 minutes, is performed on an outpatient basis and usually under twilight sedation.
Penis thickening, on the other hand, aims to increase girth. At PraxisClinic Jadore, the patient's own fat (autologous fat) is used to achieve a natural result. The penis thickening with autologous fat uses the patient's own fat tissue and avoids foreign materials. The required fat tissue is obtained by a gentle liposuction, usually from the inner thighs, and carefully processed. The autologous fat transplantation is then performed, where the processed fat is precisely injected into the penile tissue. This form of penis thickening has proven effective because it is based on autologous material and thus minimizes the risk of incompatibilities.
If conditions are suitable, penis lengthening can be combined with penis thickening using autologous fat to harmoniously adjust the size.
What advantages does a penile enlargement offer?
The topic of penis size is closely linked to the perception of masculinity. A penis perceived as too small can cause feelings of shame in many men – whether in the locker room, everyday life or in intimate situations. The perception of penis size not only affects self-image but often also impacts partnership and sexuality. A man's insecurity can also affect a woman's own sexual satisfaction. Many patients report increased well-being and greater self-confidence after penile enlargement.
When the subjective body image does not match personal expectations, psychological strain often arises. Such problems can weaken self-esteem and impair sexual life. Typical consequences are insecurities, relationship problems or reduced sexual satisfaction. Scientific studies show that both penis length and penis girth can influence self-confidence and sexuality.
In plastic surgery, various methods are available that specifically target the length or girth of the penis. In intimate surgery, the focus is always on a realistic goal image – assessed in both the flaccid and erect state.
Medical reasons for penile enlargement (e.g. micropenis, buried penis)
For rare medical indications (e.g. micropenis, “buried penis” e.g. after massive weight gain), an operative correction can be sensible, especially when penile length is significantly below average. In operative lengthening, a portion of the inner penis is relocated outward, increasing the visible total length, particularly in the flaccid state. Assessment is performed in a standardized manner by measuring penile length in the erect state; deviations of several centimeters below the mean can support an indication.
What role do penis length and penis girth play?
Two aspects are central in penile enlargement: penis length and penis girth. While some men desire a visible length increase of several centimeters, others focus on a more pronounced girth. Both factors influence the overall aesthetic appearance and can play a major role for well-being in the erect state.
How is penis length measured correctly?
Penis length is measured in the erect state from the pubic bone to the glans. This allows realistic centimeter goals to be planned and the appropriate method of penile enlargement to be selected.
Operative penile enlargement in Darmstadt
Operative penile enlargement falls within the field of plastic surgery and the specialized area of intimate surgery. Because this is a highly sensitive procedure, the choice of experienced specialists is crucial. At PraxisClinic Jadore, the treatment is performed personally by Dr. Jethon, who has decades of experience in plastic surgery.
At PraxisClinic Jadore, all procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and under the most modern safety standards by specialists focused on intimate surgery; a well-rehearsed team ensures structured processes and aftercare. Both lengthening and thickening can be realized within a manageable timeframe, usually under twilight sedation or, on request, general anesthesia.
Whether a pure lengthening, a girth increase or the combination of both methods is appropriate depends on your initial situation and personal wishes. In the detailed consultation you will learn exactly which options exist and which results are realistically achievable.
Penis surgery: What are the risks?
Penis lengthening is a surgical procedure that, like any operation, carries certain risks. These can range from infections to scarring to aesthetically unsatisfactory results. To minimize risks, it is therefore advisable to place yourself in the hands of an experienced and qualified surgeon.
At our PraxisClinic Jadore we perform a high number of penile enlargements and lengthenings annually and have accumulated extensive experience in surgical technique over the years. Our comprehensive experience and continual efforts to improve aim to provide you with the best possible treatment and care. In a detailed consultation before the operation, we take the time to discuss all possible risks and complications with you and answer your questions.
Note on provider selection
The quality of the operative results depends primarily on the expertise of the treating surgeon. An experienced expert who specializes in procedures in the intimate area is crucial for a safe and satisfactory result. Dr. Jethon has many years of experience – including corrections of previously performed procedures – and is therefore familiar with the special challenges of these highly specialized operations. Careful selection of the physician and critical review of seemingly cheap offers are therefore particularly important.
What is important before penile enlargement?
Before a penile enlargement, your own wishes should be evaluated realistically and compared with the anatomical prerequisites. A detailed consultation is crucial for this. Dr. Jethon will discuss your expectations, the realistically achievable results and, if desired, possible combinations such as an additional autologous fat thickening.
For planning, your complete information on pre-existing conditions and medications is essential. In some cases, we supplement the preparation with blood tests or photographic documentation.
Please reduce or abstain from smoking and alcohol before the procedure. Stop blood thinners like aspirin only after consultation.
What must be observed after penile enlargement?
After the operation, rest is the primary focus during the first week. Compression dressings and gentle cooling support healing. Equally important are the agreed follow-up appointments so that the course can be closely monitored. In addition, you will receive clear aftercare recommendations to ensure optimal healing.
After about two to three weeks most everyday activities can be resumed. Care should be taken that neither tight clothing nor unfavorable movements exert pressure on the penis.
From the fifth week, sports and sexual intercourse are generally possible again. The recommended break until then is important to avoid complications and achieve a stable result. In some cases, a stretching device can additionally be used to stabilize the achieved result.
Penis surgery costs: How expensive is a penile enlargement?
Our prices for penile enlargement are the result of careful calculation aimed at providing you with high quality and safety. We have not adjusted our prices for inflation for years, which is why an update became necessary. Here is an overview of the costs:
Treatment | Price |
---|---|
Penis Lengthening | ca. €7,700 |
Penis Thickening | ca. €6,400 |
Combined Penis Lengthening + Thickening | ca. €9,900 |
The price includes full medical care, medical staff, operating time, materials and medications used, all hygiene and sterilization measures as well as aftercare. Anesthesia costs are also included.
The possibilities of combining procedures
By combining various procedures, both the length and thickness of the penis can be specifically optimized. The combination of penis lengthening and penis thickening with autologous fat has proven particularly effective, as it creates a harmonious overall appearance with natural proportions.
If needed, the glans can be addressed with a glans thickening with hyaluronic acid; it complements the penis thickening with autologous fat on the shaft. These procedures are usually staged in time to allow optimal healing and coordinated results.
Dr. Jethon advises each patient individually on the options and develops a tailored treatment plan based on anatomical conditions and personal wishes. The goal is an aesthetically coherent result that also leads to greater self-confidence and satisfaction.
“Natural” methods for penis enlargement
Stretching devices and penile extenders
Mechanical stretching devices can, in selected cases and under medical supervision, be used after surgery to stabilize the result. However, expectations should be realistic when used as a sole method. Discuss benefits, duration and handling during the consultation.
Do vacuum pumps work?
Vacuum pumps temporarily improve blood flow and erection hardness; a permanent length increase is not to be expected. For the treatment of erectile dysfunction, PraxisClinic Jadore also offers non-surgical approaches.
Jelqing and manual techniques
Manual "training" methods are not medically standardized and can cause tissue damage if applied improperly. Professional medical clarification is strongly recommended before you experiment.
Penoscrotal rings and penis rings
Rings can temporarily support erection hardness but carry risks if used incorrectly (circulatory disorders, nerve irritation). Always discuss use, size and duration of application with a physician.
