Loose/Excessive skin around circumcised penis

Can someone who got circumcised please share, if you have any leftover (loosely hanging) skin around mucosa (internal foreskin) area and a thick frenulum prepuce area when your penis is not erect?

I got circumcised when I was a toddler, always wondered, only if the loose skin around the circumcised area is a clean cut, my penis would look much cleaner even when it's not erect.

A bit of loose skin can still be seen with erection, but largely underneath. Not sure having excessive skin has any benefits, or it's a bad cutting job.

Is there an option to get a second surgery to make it look clear?

Same as me, circumcised as an infant. I thank the doctor every day as it protects the head of the penis so it retains more sensitivity (I think). Some people who have had tight circ spend ages trying to stretch the skin on the shaft to cover the head. But it may also just be a preference.

By all means. Having extra skin is beneficial after the cut. Same thing happened to me, the Dr literally only cut the very tip of my foreskin(kind of a weird method being from the US) so I had prob 85%of my foreskin. I had it redone at 23(almost 10 years ago) and it tightened it up, but if I let it the skin still covers the head when I'm soft. But yes, you can have a revision to tighten it up if you like. I've thought about getting it done again to tighten it up even further, but still not sure.

Could you post a pic?

Mine’s the same..it just begins to cover head when very soft….when erect you can’t see any of it.

My cut at age 5 was somewhat loose. I chose circ for the looks. Around middle age I began foreskin restoration for the looks and 24/7 comfort. So I’ve gotten rid of age spots and glans looks much healthier and with color. Everyone is different with different equipment and no cut is the exactly same. So I consider its a bad cut when it’s a problem, not happy.

I was cut 40 years ago but I don't have any loose skin by the head. My guess is every Dr cuts it differently. Do you mean your foreskin kinda hangs down by your tip when flaccid?

Now that I had some time to really look at mine I'm curious about what you're talking about. Can't say I ever really paid attention to the bottom side before.
