Permanent swelling after circumcision?

[High57z6]

I was circumcised 16 days ago. Got most of the stitches out at day 13 as they were quite hurtful. What I am really worried about is the swelling on the remaining bit of inner foreskin. I have seen in sever posts that most people experience swelling there, with a kind of ring forming under the glans. But my 'ring' looks like it was cut into peaces, or smaller sections by the stitches. I am really afraid it will be a permanent thing as it looks exactly the same from day 1. Have any of you experienced something like this before? Can this smoothen out with time? Thanks for your insight!

You are still very early in the healing process. Some guys report residual swelling at a year after their op. Are you following the post-op instructions of your surgeon?

Yes, I only apply vaseline, and clean it regularly. I am just afraid these 'cuts' won't be able to heal at all.

Your healing looks to be going well. You show no signs of infection.

Hi You are healing just fine. Once the remaining stitches are gone your swelling will gradually go down it could take a few months but really your swelling is not bad. Once your stitches are gone you could start using some Bio-Oil massaging it in Will help to reduce your swelling.

hey! I am currently going through a similar thing and have considerable swelling on the inner foreskin like yourself. I was just wondering how yours turned out and if there was anything you did.

Thanks.

Hi, I am sorry to say that they did not disappear, only stretched out a bit. I was really unsatisfied, so I went for another surgery and got rid of the remaining inner forskin, that solved the issue. The second surgery was much less serious, I considered myself almost healed after just two weeks.
