What you should pay attention to — a checklist
Eight criteria that will help you distinguish a suitable surgeon from a less suitable one.
- Specialist qualification -- The surgeon should be a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery - not just a doctor with an additional qualification. The specialist title guarantees several years of structured further training in this specialist area.
- Experience and case numbers -- Ask specifically about the number of penis enlargement procedures carried out. Hundreds are good, thousands are better. Experience cannot be replaced by technology alone.
- Personal consultation -- The initial consultation should take place with the surgeon himself — not with a consultant or assistant doctor. Only the surgeon can assess your anatomy and give a realistic assessment.
- Transparency regarding risks -- A reputable doctor identifies risks on his own initiative - not just when asked. If only advantages are mentioned in the consultation, this is a warning signal.
- Aftercare -- The care does not end with the procedure. Clarify in advance how aftercare is organized, who your contact person is and how you can be reached in the event of complications.
- Cost clarity -- Before the procedure, you should receive a binding cost estimate that includes all essential services. Hidden additional costs are a bad sign.
- Method used -- Let us explain the surgical technique to you. A competent doctor can clearly explain to you what he is doing, why he is doing it and what alternatives there are.
- Professional societies and recognition -- Memberships in recognized professional societies (DGPRÄC, ASPS, ISAPS) are objective proof of quality. As well as awards such as Focus Top Doctors.

What you should react to skeptically
Not every provider who advertises penis enlargement is equally qualified. The following signs deserve your critical attention:
- Guaranteed results — no reputable surgeon can guarantee an exact result
- Unusually low prices - important services such as aftercare or qualified anesthesia are often missing
- No personal conversation with the surgeon before the procedure
- No open naming of risks and complications
- Pressure to make a quick decision or special offers for a limited time
- Lack of specialist qualifications in plastic surgery
Take your time to make your decision. A good doctor doesn't push.
The next step
If you have informed yourself and would like to gain a personal impression, arrange a non-binding consultation with Dr. Jethon. It takes place in a confidential atmosphere, lasts around 30 to 45 minutes and is intended solely for your orientation.
A good decision requires good foundations. Reading these pages is a first step. The personal conversation is the second.
Frequently asked questions
Can any doctor perform penis enlargement?
Legally, any licensed doctor can operate in Germany. However, it makes medical sense to contact a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery with proven experience in this specialty. The specialist title ensures qualified further training.
How many procedures should a surgeon be able to perform?
There is no fixed number, but experience shows: the higher the number of cases, the more routine the procedure and the better the results. Dr. Jethon has performed over 6,000 procedures in this area.
Can I get a second opinion?
Absolutely. If you are unsure, a second opinion is not only permitted, but recommended. A reputable doctor welcomes this because it shows that you are taking your decision seriously.
