I was surfing around.. and came across some articles:
The Guardian: 'Germany: the world\'s capital of penis enlargement - One in five surgeries takes place in Germany, according to data released by plastic surgeons'
www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/j...s-enlargment-country imgur.com/a/QwAj4
The Mirror: 'One in five enlargement operations takes place in Germany-
In total, 2,786 men had penoplasty operations in Germany last year. The ISAPS said there were 15,414 penis enlargement operations performed worldwide last year. It means nearly one in five of those having surgery did so in Germany.

They basically all got the same press release.

So I was thinking 'Great ' I live right next to Germany!'.
Soo..
Looking at their website:
www.deutsches-zentrum-urologie.com/en/pe...nis-lengthening.html
- they say themselves they are market leaders in Germany, and Germany is leading worldwide (a fifth of all penis enlargement operations done in the world)
Basically they say they did 6000 operations and all other doctors in Germany combined did only 150
- they do lengthening by 'restructuring the frontal ligaments', which they say is drastically different then just cutting the ligaments. What they do is pull more of the penis inside the body outside ' and then re-attach the ligaments. This brings 2-6centimetres they say.
- they do the thickening by 'autologous fat tissue transfer' (see down the quote)
- they offer enlargement procedure of the penis glans, but only after 6 months
'To enlarge the glans penis, a specially developed, high-quality natural material is fitted beneath the skin under local anaesthetic using a clearly defined technique that leaves no scars. The body will gradually replace this material with its own tissue.'
-
'The procedure for the thickening (of the shaft) of the penis is performed by us using the patient\'s own fat for a so-called autologous fat tissue transfer (not to be confused with simple the fat tissue injections frequently used by inexperienced surgeons). Strictly speaking, the penis thickening is the most challenging part of a penis enlargement, as many aspects need to be taken into consideration to ensure good, long-term results.
For example, if an inexperienced surgeon were to suck fat out of you then simply inject it under the skin of your penis, the effects would last for 6 months at the most before the body re-absorbed it. Long-lasting penis thickening therefore requires the application of a special procedure.
Using our technique, we first conduct a special procedure to suck living fat tissue from the inside of the thigh. This is then extensively processed and cleansed before an elaborate procedure is used to carefully insert it under the skin of the penis in a way that ensures it heals to leave an even surface. A specially engineered bandage with decreasing levels of pressure must be worn for a week in order for the results to be successful.
Now and again, patients express concerns over the success of thickening using their own fat. They are worried it may be re-absorbed, having read or heard this somewhere.
We therefore refer again to the vital difference between \'autologous fat tissue transfer\' (our technique) and simple \'fat tissue injection\'. Those who are interested will find further reading in Krupp + Rennekampff\'s standard work, \'Plastische Chirurgie\' (\'Plastic Surgery\'). They refer to the correct use of the patient\'s own body fat to thicken penises literally as the \'gold standard\' (Issue 3 / 2005). Krupp + Rennekampff\'s work is considered to be \'the standard German-language work on plastic surgery\' (Lehmann), or \'the principal work to date\' (medizin.de).
Anyone claiming that professionally inserted fat tissue will generally be re-absorbed is unaware of modern surgical procedures.
'
(but in article from 2014 (
www.berliner-kurier.de/ratgeber/gesundhe...roesserung-op-563768
) they say that half the fat gets re-absorbed, so you have to put double in initially)
- They warn against each of those:
liquid fillers (silicone, paraffin..)
artificial tissue matrices (alloderm..)
solid implants (silicone, elist, matrix')
- Lengthening alone costs 7200eur, thickening alone costs 6000eur, both together at the same time costs 9600euro
- They say they don't go for cheap but best quality, well
they offer free surgeries for one year after the operation if something should prove necessary (if something should go wrong)
Then I came along critical thread on the board here:
phalloboards.websitetoolbox.com/post/dr-...33074?pid=1286842934
Info from this thread:
It seems like the clinic does the same old / very old.
- Lig-cuts that use a 'spacer' that provokes complications and has a bad rep on phalloboards
- Fat transfer that is not super-special like they say
- Glans enhancement is with temporary HAcid, so also old news
Final thoughts
They use old methods.. but apparently they do about 2700 Operations per year! (worldwide it's 15000 per year)
Imagine 2700 progress reports on this site.
I looked for a german forum like this but did not find anything.
