So it’s been a few years since my last post and I’m very happy regarding my circumcision however, I really hate how swollen it when soft. It looks horrible and not attractive I feel it’s a botched job? Is it normal to still be this swollen after so long??

I have been cut my whole life so I don't know for sure but I would think if it's been a couple years it shouldn't be swollen anymore. I think some Dr's just cut differently so they all look different. And looking swollen when flaccid doesn't sound like a bad thing 😉

Is that whole thing swollen or just the cut area

I got my circumcision about a year and a half ago, and when the procedure was finished, the doctor told me that he “gave me a little surprised”, wich basically was making my girth wider. I’m still not sure how he did it, but it was in fact bigger when it was healed. I got the traditional procedure, with hand made stitches and everything, and to this day I still have a few small lumps around the scar, wich I’ve been reading about and it’s normal, some times you have to wait up to 8-10 years for those lumps to be completely gone, as they are scaring tissue that needs to heal completely, and that takes some time. Hope my answer help!

My experience. I wouldn’t do it again.

It was hard, really hard going through all that healing process. But looking back, I did it because I used to have Balanitis every now and then, and not having to worry about that anymore is really a relieved. If you do it just for the “asthetic”, no, never in a million years I’d do it.

Yes if medical necessity. No if optional. Best wishes.

I got it because I had tight foreskin. Therefore I got it done.

A swelling from a medical procedure after so many years seems very weird to me. Without a pic it's difficult to track down what could be the cause. It's also weird that it's only with a flaccid penis. You can always send me a PM if you want.

I agree long term swelling seems unusual.
