What is the ideal circumcision?

Of course this purely a question of taste, but what do you consider to be the ideal circumcision? What matters and what doesn't?

I think the perfect cut is what I call the 'invisible' circumcision: no visible scar, no frenulum, a smooth, pink glans and shaft skin that is just mobile enough to prevent the glans from being misshapen when erect and fully exposed when soft, as if it was foreskinless from birth. I don't think size is too important so anything around average 15cm (6") or so is perfect.

I've only ever seen one in an image of a tgirl once and it was seared into my memory ever since, so perhaps it's unrealistic?

My ideal circumcision is no circumcision at all. Factory settings, please!

I agree with @CajunOkie and I would have very much preferred no circumcision at all. I liked how my penis used to look!

However, since I had to get done for medical reasons, I think the two things I would prefer would be for the cut to be looser to give some movement when erect, and for them to have left a lot more of the inner skin as the thin strip I was left with is just not enough!

I will say that, aesthetically speaking at least, I came out of it ok. The scar is visible but not too ugly and I don't have any horrible skin bridges. I have seen a lot worse results! Best of all, considering how severe they made the rest of the cut, they happily left my frenulum intact, which is something I have been very happy about ever since puberty hit and remain happy about to this day lol

None, none at all - or, an imaginary one if you must - one where you imagine the cut in your mind and nothing changes in the real life 😉

As I've said before - love the skin you're in!

Natural is not my preference, but 100% support the right to choose what you do with your own body.

One done on someone else.

A mushroom head that I've had for longer than I can remember. Do it early, or at least, make sure I'm KO'd before you try.

Well if you do have a circumcision, a nice mushroom head. And the added feature of a nice definite scar.

For me, the ideal is to leave it natural. But if I could have chosen, with what I know today. The scar closest to the glans is low, but not too tight so you can enjoy it. Without a frenulum or with a small one to preserve pleasure

I think I have what you're describing, no scar, perfect mushroom head and perfectly centered pee slit and it used to the average six inches when erect.

Isn’t head always exposed the best , and the scar not to ugly .

I agree with eusebiJ. Except that I am rather in favor of circumcision.

Total removal of the foreskin with a scar behind the crown of the glans (maximum 1 cm behind). Low circumcision and not too tight to keep a bit of flexibility of the skin covering the penis.

Frenulum cut.

There is no clear answer as to what is ideal because the surgical and functional goals of the procedure are not perfectly aligned. The surgical goal of the procedure is the removal of the preputial excess that extends past the coronal sulcus, while the functional goal is the complete and permanent externalization of the glans. Post-operative outcomes differ significantly due to various reasons, such as the operator's surgical experience, patient and parental preferences, surgical techniques, patient age, and the circumcision device used. Although the extent of the tissue removed varies, the most common outcome is that the glans remains exposed when the penis is flaccid, and the incision is approximated at some distance behind the coronal sulcus.

Males circumcised neonatally using the Gomco clamp will typically have a wider scar positioned a third of the length of the shaft behind the glans. Because the clamp was invented with one common idea in mind - to circumcise as many males as quickly as possible - the functional goal outweighed any surgical considerations. Men circumcised in infancy using the clamp have most of the excess skin removed without a chance of stretching the shaft skin over the uncovered glans. Those circumcised as adolescents or adult will typically have circumcision incisions positioned closed to the glans.

Although it is a fairly easy task to produce an extremely tight circumcision, it is not always possible to excise the entire mucosal tissue, thus hiding the incision in the coronal sulcus. Most surgeons, except for a few in Korea and Russia, often reapproximate the mucosal band with the remaining shaft skin half a centimeter behind the glans, enough for suturing. These rare cases clearly demonstrate the ability to align the surgical goals of the procedure with its functional goal - the fully exposed glans and all mucosal tissue carefully excised - thus resulting in an ideal circumcision.
