Skin left after circumcision

Hey

Got my circumcision 10 days ago now, most of the swelling has gone and stitches have started to come out, no problems with infection or anything.

But there seems to be a band of shaft skin that still covers the bottom of my glans 24/7 - it also covers the stitches and the incision line, so you have to pull that skin back to see them, almost like a foreskin! Wondering if that's normal and I should just wait a bit longer for it to fully heal and Go back to normal, or if it means they haven't removed enough foreskin?

Anyone had anything similar?

I went through it 13 days back. And I also find this thing, but only partial as my frenulum part stays open but one the opposite side, foreskin is covering a little amount of area called Corona(Bottom). All my stitches have come out so I get a little more comfortable erections now with a little skin stretching pain. But even in erected state I could see that skin is a bit loose over there, even I don’t know how to address this!

Both of you are very early in the recovery process and should not be worrying about the final result. Be thankful that you have got rid of whatever problem you had.

I agree with Osidge. If it’s not causing any problem, hold off for now. Your body is still recuperating and repairing.

It’s sometimes hard to figure out without the visuals. However, even if something isn’t perfect and needs to be modified for esthetics or any other reason I nothing can be done for for another six months. So try not to think about it and stress yourself.

For now focus on the recovery and the benefits you are deriving from the procedure.

Same thing here tooo... Left side below the shaft some skin looks connected..... Went to doctor for that and he said it's perfect.... No issues surgery is completed... No need to worry and just wait it out

That's how mine is when it's flaccid, and I also couldn't see the incision line or most of my stitches in the first couple of weeks. When fully erect it's gone and my Corona (ridge) is exposed.

Hey that sounds you have low cut. InMost cases Dr leave some amount skin loose so that when you are fully erect mode your Penis will gain in length and those skin will expand. In High cut you won’t have that flexibility. I am suite you should be fine after fully healing process. All the best.

I agree with all of the above. It takes weeks/months for all of the swelling to go down and the skin to get back to normal. Enjoy looking at your exposed head for now and relax and enjoy relief from what lead you down this path. In my case it was phimosis and balatinitis. Gone! One year out and I am loving it.

Perfectly normal. They will not remove more than they need to. I have the same after 3 years I nearly have a foreskin back. I only look cut when erect.
