3 weeks post-op. Is this swelling or just how it will look now?

Hello! It has been 20 days since my circumcision. I feel much more comfortable now (first two weeks were really tough!)

I would just like to know if the thick "band" below the glans will reduce in size - or will this be the finished look now? It just seems really thick!

It’s just swelling, it will go down

It’s swollen inner skin and it will flatten out over time. Im 6 months post op and still have a little swelling like that after “use”. Lol.

Unless I get too vigorous. But even then it’s not that much. Just a little puffy after

I also vote "still swelling." I think the inner skin will settle down substantially as you continue to heal. You have a good amount of inner skin left, so definitely looks like a high cut.

It’s very normal to have swelling for up to 6 months post surgery.

The skin looks a healthy colour so nothing to worry about.

That swelling looks normal to me. I’m about 15 weeks in recovery and I’m still swollen. My urologist told me it can take 5-6 months or even over a year before it goes down and will look normal again. It all depends on how your body heals.

Hi Man, it is still swollen but it should go in time i can't tell you when it will go it could take months. you have a high cut which means you have more inner foreskin which sometimes can swell especially after use😊 it will look completely different in a few months Man don't worry.

Normal swelling. I am 10 weeks in and still have a bit of swelling also. I can take 6 months to a year before looking totally 'normal'
