Can you lengthen your penis?
Yes, penile lengthening is possible. Through surgical procedures in intimate surgery, the visible penile length can be permanently increased. Penile lengthening is an established procedure carried out in specialized clinics such as PraxisClinic Jadore safely and with natural-looking results. For many men it offers the opportunity to professionally realize their wish for more length.
Penile lengthening with Dr. Jethon in Darmstadt
Dr. Christoph Jethon is a specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery with many years of experience in penile enlargement. As a specialized surgeon he performs up to 500 operations annually at PraxisClinic Jadore and has already successfully carried out several thousand procedures. This gives him particular routine in this highly specialized technique.
The procedures are outpatient and low-risk, usually under local anesthesia or twilight sedation – general anesthesia is generally not required. With Dr. Jethon’s proven technique the visible penile length can be increased on average by 3 to 6 centimeters. Foreign materials such as silicone are deliberately avoided; instead specially developed suture techniques and the patient's own tissue are used. If needed, complementary procedures can be applied that harmoniously improve penile girth as well. Sensitive structures such as the penile root, in which nerves, vessels and the urethra run, remain completely untouched.
What are the advantages of penile lengthening?
A penis augmentation – whether by penile lengthening, a penile thickening or a glans enlargement – can be very meaningful for many men. There are often different reasons behind it: some aim to adapt the shape or length of their genitals to their own ideals, others experience dissatisfaction with their penis size as a distressing problem. In such situations those affected seek safe, medically sound options to achieve a lasting improvement.
Patients undergo penile lengthening with Dr. Jethon for various reasons:
- More self-confidence through a positive body image: Many patients report an improved body perception when their penis size better matches their personal expectations.
- Increased sexual satisfaction: Changes in length and girth can positively influence sexual experience and enhance a man's well-being.
- Correction of irregularities: Besides aesthetic desires, penile lengthening can also be medically useful, for example to correct malformations or asymmetries.
If you are interested in penile augmentation, Dr. Jethon is happy to offer a personal consultation. Here you will receive all important information about the different treatment options, surgical techniques and expected results.
Penile lengthening through aesthetic surgery
For men who wish to lengthen their penis there are various medical methods for penile augmentation. One of the most commonly used techniques is surgical penile lengthening (ligamentolysis). In this procedure the suspensory ligaments that anchor the penis to the body are partially released. This shifts a portion of the internal part of the penis outward, resulting in a visible lengthening of the penis. The altered size is visible both in the flaccid and the erect state.
In addition to ligamentolysis there is the option to increase size through autologous fat injections (penile thickening). Here, the patient's own fat tissue is harvested, processed and injected into the penile shaft to increase girth. Another technique is injection with hyaluronic acid, which can be used for additional glans thickening.
Before deciding on one of these operations a thorough consultation by an experienced specialist is essential to choose the method best suited to the individual and to achieve a safe, satisfactory result.
Dr. Jethon’s special technique for penile lengthening
In penile lengthening it is crucial that the procedure is not only effective but also performed safely. Dr. Jethon has developed a special method based on proven principles of intimate surgery and supplemented by proprietary suture techniques. The goal is to achieve a harmonious lengthening without impairing natural structures.
The male organ consists of a visible external and an internal section hidden in the body. Through a small incision of about 3–4 centimeters in the pubic hair area the anterior suspensory ligament is released and reanchored, while the posterior ligaments remain untouched. This causes the external part of the penis to lengthen – visible both in the flaccid and erect state.
The technique uses an anatomical peculiarity: if the previously curved internal course is straightened, flaps are created which together produce the lengthening. In this way the ratio of external to internal penile portion shifts in favor of the visible section. As a result penile length can increase by an average of 3 to 6 centimeters – depending on individual conditions.
Foreign materials such as silicone or implants are not used. Instead autologous tissue is swung in from the sides and fixed with the specially developed suture techniques. This way the penile root, where nerves, blood vessels and the urethra run, remains completely unchanged. Because no incision is made into the penis itself, the risks are further reduced.
The final result always depends on factors such as the original angle of inclination, the length of the symphysis and the ligament structures. Dr. Jethon tailors each operation individually to the anatomy and wishes of his patients.
What is important before a penile lengthening?
Penile lengthening requires careful preparation. This includes comprehensive counseling, clarification of realistic expectations and discussion of possible complications.
It is also important that certain factors are considered in good time:
- You should refrain from blood-thinning medications – such as aspirin – before the operation, as they increase the risk of bleeding.
- Smoking and alcohol consumption should be stopped several days before the procedure to avoid impairing healing.
All further individual instructions will be given to you in the personal informed-consent discussion with Dr. Jethon so that you are optimally prepared.
What to consider after a penile lengthening?
After a penile lengthening the first week mainly requires rest, wearing compression dressings and regular cooling. In this phase mild swelling may occur, which is a normal reaction of the body to the procedure.
After about two to three weeks most everyday activities are usually possible again. Sexual intercourse and sports can generally be resumed after around five weeks.
The existing skin of the penis and scrotum is sufficient to cover the lengthened portion, so no skin grafts or tissue transfers are necessary. By using special materials and modified suture techniques the retractive forces from scar formation are minimized, which could otherwise affect the final result. The operation leaves only a small scar in the pubic hair area; the penile root remains untouched.
For patients prone to stronger scar formation the use of a stretching device can be recommended additionally to stabilize the result in the long term. Aftercare is individually tailored to each patient.
What risks does penile lengthening carry?
Penile lengthening is a surgical procedure – and like any operation certain risks can occur. These include infections, swelling or scar formation. In principle these risks can never be completely excluded, but they can be significantly reduced by experience, precise technique and careful aftercare.
At PraxisClinic Jadore Dr. Jethon, as a specialist, personally performs all procedures. Together with his team he ensures the highest medical standards. With several hundred penile lengthenings and thickenings per year Dr. Jethon has particular routine in this highly specialized field.
Why Dr. Jethon’s experience is crucial
Penile lengthening is a specialized procedure that requires a high level of experience and routine. Patients want not only an aesthetically convincing result but also the greatest possible safety during the procedure. Therefore it is important to consult a specialist who performs this operation regularly and with proven success.
Dr. Jethon has specialized in this field for many years. With up to 500 procedures per year he has an exceptionally high level of routine in penile lengthening and thickening. His patients benefit from the most modern surgical techniques, proprietary suture methods and an approach that significantly reduces risks such as scar retraction or instabilities. The penis itself is not incised, which markedly reduces the risk of infections or functional complications. Instead of using foreign materials such as silicone or implants, Dr. Jethon relies on autologous tissue in combination with specially developed suture techniques. The penile root, where nerves, vessels and the urethra run, remains untouched.
In addition to primary procedures Dr. Jethon also has extensive experience in correcting previously performed operations. Patients who are dissatisfied with the results of earlier surgeries or suffer from complications specifically seek his expertise. Due to his specialization and long-standing routine he can in many cases contribute to a significant improvement.
What does penile lengthening cost?
The costs for a penile lengthening depend on the scope of treatment and the methods used. At PraxisClinic Jadore we offer transparent pricing that already includes all services and incidental costs.
Treatment | Price |
---|---|
Penis Lengthening | €7,700 |
Penis Thickening | €6,400 |
Combined Penis Lengthening + Thickening | €9,900 |
Please note: Costs for a penile lengthening are usually not covered by health insurance and therefore must be borne privately.
Combined penile lengthening and thickening
The combination of penile lengthening and thickening makes it possible to optimize both length and girth of the penis in a single procedure. This achieves a particularly harmonious result with only one operation and recovery period.
Because both procedures are performed at the same time, costs for the operating room, staff and materials are reduced. We pass this saving directly on to our patients – instead of €7,700 and €6,400 for two separate procedures, the price for the combined treatment is only €9,900. So you save €4,200.
In a personal consultation Dr. Jethon will discuss with you which option is sensible in your individual case and which results can be realistically achieved.
Alternative methods for penile lengthening
In addition to surgical procedures there are various alternative approaches that claim to lengthen the organ. The best-known among these are penis pumps and penile extenders, which are intended to work by mechanical stretching of the tissue. These methods require consistent application over a long period and can in individual cases lead to moderate lengthening – however, scientific evidence is limited.
Special exercises such as jelqing or Kegel as well as aids like penile extenders or penis pumps are also frequently mentioned as possibilities to increase length. In some cases men report a slight increase in length in centimeters, but scientific studies have so far not provided conclusive evidence. In addition, improper use can lead to tissue damage.
At PraxisClinic Jadore, in addition to surgical procedures, Dr. Jethon also offers minimally invasive treatments specifically aimed at improving shape and volume – including glans enlargement with hyaluronic acid injections or the Penis-Shot therapy. For many patients these procedures represent a gentle alternative or complement.
Other male intimate surgery treatments
Penile lengthening is only one of several options offered by male intimate surgery. Many men desire, in addition to increased penile length, changes in girth or shape of their organ to achieve a harmonious overall appearance. Therefore PraxisClinic Jadore offers various treatments tailored to the needs of our patients:
- Combined penis augmentation: combination of lengthening and thickening of the penis for a harmonious overall result.
- Penile thickening with autologous fat: for sustainable increase in girth.
- Glans enlargement: targeted adjustment of the glans for a harmonious overall appearance.
