Revision circumcision?

Hey everyone, I had a circumcision when I was around 15 years old and am now 20 years old. I have been very unhappy with the outcome for the whole time due to the scars that it left as well as I felt as though it pulled skin from my scrotum up to replace my shaft. There are hair follicles now running up my shaft which I do not like the look of. My issue is I want to have a revision circumcision to correct the scars however this will pull the hair bearing skin and hair bumps even further up my shaft. Does anyone know how minimal of skin they can take off during revision circumcision or if you can stretch the clear park of your shaft to make it permanently longer? How do I attach photos?

I was circumcised at birth. So I can’t help too much. However, in 2015 I started foreskin restoration. I do have similar issues with hair growing on my shaft just in one place. I suggest searching for a site called foreskinrestore.com and read and read. I don’t suggest going back to the surgeon based on what you have already got done. Consider the tools that the guy gives on his website.

Hope this helps.

How is the restoration working

Man, it’s a long process. Everyday for the most part I use a retainer device, which keeps my skin in place over my glans. The guy that developed all those devices is pretty darn innovative. The air method for me works the best. I have noticed more coverage than ever before and I can move my skin back and forth. I have also noticed that when I take the retainer or air method off, I have this wetness and moistness around my glands and I figure that’s the smegma (I think that’s how to spell it), it has a slight smell to it. Now my penis does curve upward and slightly to the right and and times I do get a little itching because the pulling on the skin. It’s not uncomfortable but just weird at times to have itching on the shaft. But if you were a skin cell you would probably be saying “why are you stretching me so much?” Lol. Lastly, when need arises masturbation is more enjoyable and I see myself lasting longer and I like that. I recommend to any guys that want to restore is to try, especially if you have some skin left behind, use caution around those stitches and wounds and we guys sometimes want things quick. It will take a while. So let the body respond at its own pace.

How much length have you managed to add to your skin. My thing is I dont mind being circumcised I just felt like they chopped off too much of the skin, I don’t want to have a foreskin again but just have the hair bearing skin lower on my shaft

I’ve added 2 inches so far. When I masturbate I feel a gliding action more. I am able to roll my skin a bit more. I had not been able to do that at all before I started restoring.

hello, I had your same experience of a revision. The scar, uneven before is the same now, even the skin is tighter, of course. May be we have an attitude to the "ugly scar" and the more you cut with a second circumcision, the more you are scarred; I suggest you to keep your hair follicula and not to go on with a revision, unless you have too much skin to be fixed. I'd share with you pics, if you want, to show my scar. I don't know if possible.

Nothing wrong with hair as long as it isn't stubbly and prickly and as long as it's kept clean.

It’s not so much the hair but the little bumps that are running where the hair is, I’m not sure if they are fordyce spots. Does anyone else have them?

Yeah ... foreskin restoration exercises will add enough new skin cells to make your skin slide back. Cutting more skin will only complicate and add to your problems. For information about restoration methods and devices See:restoringforeskin.org/
