Circumcision revision/repair?

[johnnymax]

Hi I’m 24 years old. I have been circumcised 12 years ago but it’s not until now that I realize that I’m not satisfied with how my penis looks like aestethically. When flaccid it looks like my frenulum is too low hanging and I honestly think that there’s excessive skin under the head of my penis and it really looks obvious even when erect. When I was circumcised that part of my foreskin was inflamed and after healing it has always been there somewhat looking weird since I like my penis to look somehow skintight when erect.

I honestly want to have it redone cos of self-esteem issues. But I don’t think I can open this up to my parents and it would really bother me if anyone who knows me will know that I want to undergo circumcision revision. Not to mention that I don’t have the guts to tackle this matter with a surgeon or urologist either.

Just a few points, is there such thing as circumcision revision? Will the sensation of my penis get affected after the outcome?

For the ones who have undergone this, should I do it? I’ve been dreaming of doing it so I guess I just really wanna do it.

Replies are greatly appreciated.

Revision is certainly possble just be very careful who you get to do it

I had a Circumcision in Jan last year due to Balanitis had it redone in March due to a lot of foreskin still being left and an ugly scar due to an infection

And knew a few weeks later that it still wasn't right went back to urologist and sent to plastic surgeon as Second time has been cut to short and now have to have a skin graft to the shaft to reconstruct it

I really want mine done but yeah my issue is the surgeon who’s gonna do it. I want it perfectly done without expected infection or inflammation to avoid another revision. Were you satisfied with your reconstruction? And did it affect the sensation?

[6big in reply to johnnymax]

Having reconstruction surgery on 2nd March so not gone through that yet but anything that is done has got to be a improvement on the tight trapped penis I have had for the last 12 mths

Wishing the best for your revision and I really hope it turns out good. Im still struggling with getting mine done.. Really hope mine could “look” better after fixing this skin issue.

Brother, I have been having trouble with balanitis for just under a year now, was a yeast infection which got treated but the excessive use of anti fungal creams (non steroidal but still) seems to have aggravated the region, just wanted to know why you had balanitis and if it helps with the mild burning sensations and reddening? TIA

Stage 2 Diabetes causing thrush that turned to Balanitis which then resulted in scar tissue and made foreskin tight hence the Circ

[Quentin281 in reply to 6big]

Did the circ help?

[6big in reply to Quentin281]

Yes 100% it helped no where for the yeast to thrive just need it to be loose enough to have full erection which I cant

[Quentin281 in reply to 6big]

I think we had a similar trajectory,

I had a thrush infection owing to my spiked up glucose levels, and now that I have those under control, the candida infection is gone but the glans are still slightly red, almost dark pinkish, mildly painful but it comes back every time I masturbate or have sex, I am really worried about it, was going to spend a bomb in doing a biopsy to be sure that circumcision will cure whatever it is,

Did you have same symptoms and did the circ clear it up right away? Did your balanitis spread after the op? Sorry for the questions I'm just very worried

TIA

I have not had any problems now with thrush in the 12mths since I had Circumcision as the glands is completely exposed so nowhere for the yeast to build up

I to had spiked sugar levels and my thrush developed into Balanitis the resulting scaring from that caused a very tight foreskin hence me opting for the Circumcision route at 61

[Quentin281 in reply to 6big]

Has the balanitis come back after masturbating or any sexual activity?

I had exactly same issue. Therefore I went to see the consultant after a year since circumcised and issue resolved after re-done. Now cosmetically I am fully happy. Nice appearance girls love it. Good luck.

[johnnymax in reply to Sojoguy]

Good for you. Im really thinking of having it done. Which consultant did you see exactly? A urologist? Im confused with who I should see, a urologist or a cosmetic surgeon or a general surgeon?? Will any of them do the job well of revising my circumcision aestethically?

[johnnymax in reply to Sojoguy]

And also, did you have to take antibiotics or did it still inflame after revision?? Did you go to the same doctor who circumcised you, or a different one??
