Did they cut to much skin off my sons penis?

This is my second boy. When my first was circed they cut off the skin and tied a little plastic ring on on which fell off in about two weeks. The skin that was left touches and slightly covers the rim of the head.


My new son was circed by a certified RN midwife in the clinic and I was allowed in. After a nerve block she used a little steel cap over the head and pulled the skin through a hole in a clamp and trimmed it off. She said she had performed hundreds before so I felt confident with her and was curious how this was performed.


When she removed the clamp she just pushed the rest of the skin backwards on the shaft. She didnt put a little plastic ring on and said didn't need it. Now that he is almost a year old you can clearly see the cut line around middle of penis and about half an inch of very light colored skin from the cut line and the rim. There is not much slack at all with his circumcision unlike my older boy. Will this affect him as he grows? It just looks tight.

Sadly, yes they took too much skin.





One important note "corrective surgery" is NOT A GOOD OPTION, too many of them just add more damage and scar tissue.





The foreskin normally provides the expansion room for the penis when it erects. Your son will have no room to grow. Most likely it will "borrow" skin from his scrotum to make up for some of the loss, this will give him a hairy shaft, that would not be too much of a problem for him but his mate may not like getting "bottle brushed" in her vagina.


He most likely will have tight feeling to painful erections when he is in his teens. His penis may become bent or distorted because the tight skin will restrict its growth.


Your son may benefit from foreskin restoration (non-surgical only) when he is older. There are tissue expansion methods many men have used to get back the room they need to be comfortable and some have even grown enough slack skin to form a sort of foreskin. This protects the glans and allows it to recover some of the lost sensitivity. He will have to do this on his own; the medical community doesn't seem to think that circumcision can cause any problems. Many men like me know that years of friction on our unprotected glans has left our penises with the same level of sensitivity as our elbows, not the best for intimate touch.





To the poster above: I am glad you think your son's circ looks so good; the most important thing about a boy's penis is that his mother thinks it looks nice, never mind if it will work the way it is supposed to when he tries to love his wife.
Reply:My son was circumcised this way and he hasn't had any problems. I have even been told by a couple of friends during diaper changes, that they really done a good circumcision on him. I think it looks good.
Reply:It actually sounds like quite a good circumcision, and no it won't effect him at all. You can't actually circumcise too much as the erections would stretch the skin to fit the penis. You can tell by those enourmously fat people that skin stretchs very easily.
