2+ months after circumcision: Swollen ring persists

It's been more than 2 months since my circumcision. The problem remains exactly the same as mentioned in my previous post. There is a circular ring around my penis ans swelling is not coming down at all. Though in the erect state, ring stretches and penis looks all right. Should I visit to my surgeon again and take his opinion on this? Has anyone else experienced it as well? Will this swelling ever come down?

Was your swelling like this as well? I have the same issue and I am 3 months post op. If so how long did it take for it to be gone?

You have excessive inner foreskin. He didn't cut enough of it away for it to be a smooth and tight circumcision. But its harmless though. When flaccid, your excessive skin bunches up into a ring of stored matter.

Mine's look like yours too

Thank you for your comment..Can we do anything about it ?

Yep!!! A circumcision revision surgery. Where the doc goes in and make an incision, then excise a measured quantity of skin where needed. Lastly, sewing and sealing the open wound, and us going through a full-healing process a 2nd time.

My new doc wants to charge a little more than I was charged originally by my first doc. I am not even considering returning back to my old doc. Smh lol

So I haven't had a correction just of yet

Im a year post-op and most of the swelling has gone for me. The skin there is just a little looser but still looks fine. Much prefer the looser cut!
