There’s more skin left on one side than the other.

Its been 6 weeks that I got circumcised.

The wounds look healed about 80% and I still have swelling.

What concerns me here is the more skin left on the left side under my glans. This happened because the stitches were fallen off in 1-2 days.

Half side of my penis is healed beautifully with almost no skin left but on the other side where the incision was opened, it looked like a pocket and took very long time to heal leaving so much skin, this makes my penis look very uncertain.

How am I supposed to live with it?

It ultimately boils down to your perception of it. If there are any other symptoms relief can be sought. Since the key issue here is the appearance , you may benefit from asking your surgeon for any other options and if you are able to , look past it.

I can say for sure that if you have only excess skin that is the problem , living with it may take time but you will definitely and gradually become accustomed to it . If you are unable to or are disturbed too much by it , you can get a second opinion and see what can be done about it like a revision and/or get a counselling session that can help you process the displeasure that you have attributed with the additional skin. In my opinion , you seem to be at crossroads for two options - living with it where you have to either begin to accept it and love it as it is or do something about it .Either way I wish you all the best .

P.s * you have mentioned that you are still healing . So it would be best for you to give it some time till you have healed completely and till the swelling has subsided. That is actually when you can actually tell if excess skin is present or not as the swelling itself recedes back and the skin may become tighter during the process. Alternatively you can contact the surgeon who perfomed the prcoedure on you and discuss the fate of the excess skin and whether it is just Swelling that will regress with time. All the best !

It may take 6 months to a year before your new cock has settled down. If the guy really did a crooked cut you'll know by then. Another doctor will be able to fix it by removing a bit more skin to even it out. But be patient - you are still healing and swelling is pretty common and one side may be more swollen than the other.

Not what you're looking for?
