The restaurant worker, from Germany, then injected silicone oil into his patient's penis and scrotum.
Shortly after the procedure - carried out at Torben K's home in Solingen, near Düsseldorf - the patient began experiencing breathing problems.
The 32-year-old died in agony seven months later following sepsis complications.
Judges in Wuppertal District Court were told by the victim's sister he had doubts about the procedure, but Torben K convinced him to go ahead.

The victim visited several hospitals following the horror surgery before being placed in a specialist intensive care unit.

High State Prosecutor Wolf-Tilman Baumert told local media: "Unfortunately, the silicone oil ended up in the person's bloodstream.
"This led to severe health complications and, eventually, to his death."
