Dr. Kästner Receives Master Class From Penis Enhancement Pioneer

Ocean Clinic’s Doctor Sonja Kästner has successfully completed a Master Course in Penoplasty (penis enhancement).



Having trained in penis enhancement surgery in Germany, Dr. Kästner wished to further her skills and knowledge in this specialist field. She traveled to Milan in Italy to learn about the advanced penoplasty techniques being pioneered by Professor Alessandro Littara, with the aim of making them available to patients here on the Costa del Sol.



Says Dr. Kästner: “Professor Littara is an authority in male genital aesthetic surgery. He’s been performing penoplasty since the 90’s and has continuously modified, improved and perfected the procedure, having operated on thousands of patients from all around the world. It was an honour to learn about the latest modifications in penis enhancement from Europe’s leading surgeon in the field.”


The master course in penoplasty took place over two days and included a total of nine live surgeries. Dr. Kästner was joined by a small number of fellow surgeons, who had also come to be trained by Prof. Littara.


“We got to know urologists and plastic surgeons from all over the world,” she says. “Professor Littara is a genial and interesting guy and we were shown the newest techniques operating together with him.


“As well as studying penile lengthening through cutting of the ligament which attaches the penis to the pubic bone, we looked at increasing girth via fat transfer and treating premature ejaculation through the injection of hyaluronic acid.


“Overall, it was a very worthwhile course and I am now certified as an Associate of the International Academy of Penoplasty (IAP). I am delighted that Ocean Clinic patients will be able to benefit from my enhanced knowledge and experience.”




Penis enhancement surgery, now being carried out by Dr. Kästner in Marbella two weeks per month, can result in additional length of 1.5 to 4 cms, and increased girth of 25 to 35%.

Ocean Clinic’s Pro Bono Work Recognised with Charity Award

Ocean Clinic Marbella has been recognised for its charity work in Africa in the 2017 German Medical Award.




The highly respected awards, hosted in Berlin, aim to honour medical professionals who show “extraordinary commitment to the principles of medical ethics, innovation and supreme quality standards in patient care.”


Ocean Clinic was named winner of the Medical Charity Award, following two charitable missions to Lamu, Kenya, where Head Surgeon Doctor Kai Kaye and his team carried out reconstructive surgery.


In total across the two trips, 85 adults and children living with disfigurements such as congenital malformations, tumours, hernias, burns and ulcers, were treated. All members of the surgical team from Ocean Clinic gave up their time for free, in addition to paying for their own flights and accommodation. Meanwhile, a fundraising campaign launched by the clinic raised more than €5,000 to purchase essential materials and equipment.


“The Medical Charity Award honours personalities and projects that distinguish themselves through their outstanding medical and social commitment,” says a spokesperson for the German Medical Award.


The award itself supports a charitable project; this year proceeds went to the NCL Foundation (For a Future without Childhood Dementia) from Hamburg.


Dr. Kaye received the award at a ceremony which took place at the Sheraton Grand Hotel Esplanade, Berlin on November 25.


He says: “It was an honour to receive the award in the name of the whole team. The plastic surgery relief project in Lamu was a big achievement for us all and something we are very proud of.


“Giving back is an important part of what we do at Ocean Clinic and, while the gratitude of those we were able to help was reward enough, I’m delighted for my team to be recognised for their amazing work.”

Ocean Clinic intends to run the Plastic Surgery Relief Camp again next Easter. People can support the 2018 campaign through financial donations, providing medical equipment and / or personal involvement. Please contact info@oceanclinic.net to get involved.
