Circumcision revision / recircumcised

Does anyone have any experience in revisions or being re circumcised?

Any one who hasn’t, have you ever considered one?

Why did you have it done?

Did you choose it yourself or did a parent/ doctor/ etc decide or recommend?

Did the pain or recovery time differ?

If there was a method for having a less fragile / easily irritated scar.. maybe. Though I doubt this is possible and anyway would I run the risk?

I semi-seriously considered it for a while, but going from high and tight to low and tight would mean stretching the shaft skin, and I wasn't going to wear a stretching device for X years to achieve that. Also I wasn't keen on the idea of going in for surgery again.

Re-circumcision is a surgical procedure performed to correct a previously completed circumcision. It can be performed for various reasons, such as removing additional preputial tissue when the coronal sulcus is not visible. In childhood, the decision for a child to undergo a repeat circumcision is typically made by the parents in consultation with the child’s pediatrician. Adult men may also request the procedure to improve the appearance of the circumcision scar, remove additional preputial or shaft skin, reposition the circumcision scar closer to the glans, or any other reason.

Re-circumcision is generally a relatively uncomplicated procedure and is often well tolerated. But, depending on how much tissue is excised, it may result in a much narrower preputial cuff (with the circumcision scar positioned closer to the glans). It may also cause the remaining skin tissue to feel tighter during erection, which may require the male to change his masturbatory habits and lubricate more frequently.

Not myself, as I unfortunately got given a very thorough job the first time and the doctor didn't leave anything left to revise! 😢

Over the years I have spoken to a lot of men that have gone back for revisions and most say the recovery time was a lot quicker and easier for the revisions than for their initial circumcision. Most simply wanted a "bad" or unsightly first circumcision fixed and scar tissue reduced, things like that.

There are a number of them that have gone back for multiple revisions in the search for (in their words) a smoother, cleaner look. It almost becomes like an addiction for them to get the "perfect" penis, in the same way some people get addicted to facial plastic surgery to keep them looking young, but of course each revision takes away more and more skin, which can cause its own problems for them.

My circumcision was done 17 years ago and the result was very good. No slack shaft skin when erect but also without the scrotum being pulled up the shaft giving a turkey neck appearance. Happily over time it hasn’t slackened and the scar is fine and even so I wouldn’t want a revision.

My infant job was quite loose and at one stage I was told I was not "done properly" (proper being a fully exposed glans and a tight-ish shaft). But I was never sent back for a re-trim. As I grew the skin naturally pulled back anyway

Infant circumcision can sometimes appear incomplete (the glans is only partially exposed or even fully covered) because of prepubescent fat accumulated around the pubic area and the base of the penis. This condition often resolves on its own without the need for surgical intervention, but it requires daily care at home until it does. Parents are instructed to gently push the remnant skin back and away from the glans and apply an ample amount of petroleum jelly around and behind the glans to prevent the remnant skin from adhering to the glans and forming skin bridges. In more extreme cases, however, a surgical option can be very effective.
