Achieving the Result You Expected
Living with an unsatisfactory circumcision result, whether it causes physical discomfort during erections or visual dissatisfaction, can affect your daily confidence.
At Gentle Circumcision, we specialize in secondary revision surgery for teens and adults seeking functional relief and cosmetic improvement.
Common Adult Concerns We Repair
Previous circumcision results can sometimes leave excess skin, tightness, or uneven scar lines. An assessment helps determine which concerns may be addressed through revision.
Redundant (Extra) Foreskin
Removing loose, remaining skin that bunches behind or covers the head of the penis.
Painful Pulling or Tightness
Releasing short, tight skin bands or a tight frenulum (frenulum breve) that pulls uncomfortably during erections.
Thick or Irregular Scars
Assessing raised, dark, uneven, or tender scar lines left behind by previous procedures and considering appropriate revision options.
Skin Adhesions or Tags
Releasing lingering skin bridges or removing skin tags along the suture line, where clinically appropriate.
Understanding the Physical Limits of Revision Surgery
Because revision surgery involves working on tissue that has already been operated on, understanding your body's anatomical limits is crucial.
| Physical Reality | What You Need to Know |
|---|---|
| Limited Available Skin | Skin was already removed during your first procedure. Our top priority is preserving enough elasticity so erections remain fully comfortable without feeling pulled. |
| Operating Over Scar Tissue | Cutting through existing scar tissue alters blood and fluid flow. Because of this, post-operative swelling ("donut" swelling behind the glans) takes longer to resolve than in primary procedures. |
| Gradual Scar Evolution | Everyone forms scar tissue differently. Your final visual result will mature and soften over 6 to 12 months as new tissue blends into your natural skin lines. |
Realistic Expectations Matter
Revision surgery must account for existing scar tissue and the amount of skin available. The appropriate approach depends on your individual anatomy and clinical assessment.
Healing and scar maturation take time. Individual outcomes vary, and a consultation can help clarify what may realistically be achieved in your case.
Comfort & Anesthesia Options
We understand that seeking a secondary procedure can cause anxiety. We offer a calm, private environment designed around your comfort.
Inhalation Sedation ("Twilight Sleep")
Gas inhalation sedation is available on designated monthly clinic days to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. Availability and suitability are confirmed by the clinical team.
Local Anesthesia
Targeted local anesthesia is administered once you are sedated to numb the surgical area. Your clinician will explain the anesthesia plan and what to expect during your procedure.

Adult Circumcision Q & A
What is adult circumcision?
Many uncircumcised men decide for various reasons that they would like to get circumcised as an adult.
Thereʼs some evidence that adult circumcision could protect your female partners from infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is known to cause cervical cancer and other STDs.
You might simply prefer the way a circumcised penis looks or want to make it easier to keep your penis clean and prevent infection. Any reason is valid.
Is adult circumcision safe?
Thereʼs no denying that circumcision is a far more straightforward procedure in an infant. However, adult circumcision is still a very safe and uncomplicated procedure. It’s important to seek out experienced professionals who specialize in performing the procedure in adults.
Circumcision Technique
Sleeve resection is the most commonly used method for adult circumcision. Local anesthesia is given before the procedure. Two cuts are made side by side in the shape of a ring on the shaft of the penis. The skin between the cuts are removed and the two edges are sewn together.
The location of the healed scar will depend on where the cut closest to the glans is made. Stitches used will absorb into the skin, so removal is not necessary. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and healing time is 4-6 weeks.

What about Pain Management?
Gentle Circumcisionʼs goal is to achieve a virtually painless procedure and recovery for you.
Patient comfort is our priority. With needle-free injections, we are able to numb the circumcision area throughout the procedure. The anesthesia uses a high pressure jet stream to penetrate locally at the injection site. Onset is almost immediate.
Alternating between extra-strength acetaminophen and ibuprofen over the next 48 hrs is sufficient to address any discomfort. Or as a matter of choice, you may request the doctor to prescribe a narcotic analgesic such Vicodin.
Why Gentle Circumcision?
For adults, circumcision cost can be a barrier to treatment. We offer financing so that you don’t have to wait. Read more here.
