Length lost after circumcision?

[VERYAverageJoe]

I was circumcised three weeks ago, and it looks like I've lost about one and a half inches of length, but it's girthier, and feels as though the skin at the base of the shaft is stretching now. I wasn't very large to begin with, and this is demoralizing. Will my length come back?

I had my circumcision in the month of March this year, I had the very same question. People on the forum said it would grow back to the previous length as it heals. In my case it did not. I had measured mine before the procedure and after. I was dejected all these months. I even researched penis pumps, jelqing, enlargement surgery. I have given up and have finally accepted the way it is.

That's very disheartening to hear. Thank you for your candor.

You have not lost any size 3 weeks is still early ish you say it looks like you have gained girth possible you still have swelling which is normal at week 3. Try not to worry about size my friend get him fully healed and hopefully your penis size will correct itself once the swelling has reduced. Don’t do any sexual desires try and hold out so you don’t cause damage or delay your healing. Your skin will stretch over time so just relax and you will be okay. Any medical concerns or questions contact your doctor

All the best mate

Circumcision does not reduce the true length of your penis as only the irrelevant foreskin is removed. However you will have very significant swelling which masks some of the length. When all is fully healed, your natural length will return.

Just think about what you said first, you went for circumcision which is skin removed around the penis,nothing else, give it time

Your penis just LOOKS different. Stand

Naked in front of a full length mirror. That will give you perspective.

It is indeed irrelevant to the working length of the penis, which is what is being discussed here.
