What you can realistically expect

The most important thing first

• The typical lengthening is 3 to 6 cm, the increase in circumference is 2 to 3 cm
• The final result can be assessed after three to six months
• The individual requirements determine the achievable result
• Experience from over 6,000 interventions forms the basis of this information

Typical results

From over 6,000 procedures, Dr. Jethon provides a clear picture of what is realistically achievable. In most cases, penis lengthening through ligamentotomy results in an increase in length of 3 to 6 cm - measured when flaccid or stretched.

If there is additional fat thickening, 2 to 3 cm more circumference is typical. The combination of lengthening and thickening creates a harmonious overall appearance.

These numbers are empirical values, not a guarantee. The individual increase depends on your anatomical requirements.

When the result will be visible

Swelling is normal immediately after the procedure - the result will not look like the final result in the first few weeks. This is nothing to worry about; it is part of the natural healing process.

After about four to six weeks, the swelling will largely subside. The final result can be assessed after three to six months. During this time the tissue forms, scars mature and the final shape becomes visible.

Patience in this phase pays off. Premature assessments lead to unnecessary uncertainty.

What influences the result

The anatomical requirements are the most important factor — how much of the penis shaft is inside the body varies from man to man. Dr. Jethon can reliably assess this during the consultation and give a realistic prognosis.

In addition, individual wound healing, compliance with aftercare recommendations and, if necessary, consistent use of the stretching device also play a role. Smokers tend to heal more slowly and have a slightly increased risk of wound healing problems.

The experience of the surgeon has a significant influence on the result. The over 6,000 procedures that Dr. Jethon carried out means one thing above all: he can reliably assess the individual anatomical conditions and adapt the procedure accordingly.

When expectations don't match reality

Some patients desire results that cannot be achieved surgically. In such cases it is Dr. Jethon's job is to say this openly — even if it's not what the patient wants to hear.

Occasionally, the desire for penis enlargement lies behind a deeper dissatisfaction that cannot be resolved by surgical intervention. If Dr. If Jethon has the impression that the expectations are unrealistic or that psychological support would make more sense, he will address this.

Honesty before the procedure protects against disappointment afterwards. This is not an obstacle, but part of responsible advice.
