In general, it is similar to recovery after circumcision. In our practice, most men are able to resume work within 1-3 days after circumcision revision. Many men do not require pain medications beyond over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain relievers.

Circumcision revision is a surgical procedure performed to correct or improve the appearance of the penis and penile skin after a prior circumcision.  The most commonly performed revision is straightening of the circumcision scar or removing the excessive or uneven foreskin.rnrnA more complex surgical procedure may be required in some men to correct the appearance of the penis after prior circumcision.  This may require using advanced plastic surgery techniques such as flap rotation or grafting skin from other areas.

Revision of circumcision is a sometimes necessary procedure for those who developed issues and complications from the original neonatal or adult circumcision. This can be done when the doctor or urologist failed to remove enough foreskin leaving too much of it left, if the penis drops back to the fatty area around it (buried penis), or if adhesions or penile skin bridge develop.rnrnIt’s never late to repair or correct incomplete circumcisions in older boys and even circumcised adult men. No matter how long has passed since the original circumcision, problems like these won’t fix themselves and could even worsen over time. So if you suspect that something might be wrong, absolutely contact your doctor or urologist, or visit a hospital or your local male health clinic.rnrnIf you’re looking into getting a circumcision revision, contact or book an appointment with Golden State Urology.
