Circumcision is a surgical procedure whereby the foreskin of the penis is surgically removed. Many men are circumcised. Some were circumcised for religious reasons and some were circumcised as it as a standard option given in the United States shortly after birth. Circumcision allows for; easier hygiene, a decreased risk of urinary tract infections, a decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections, the prevention of penile problems such as phimosis, and a decreased risk of penile cancer. Many men may not be circumcised because it may not have been common in the local region or because of tradition or other reasons such as being born prematurely. For the latter, it is too risky to circumcise a newborn that is premature due to infection risks. Typically, a circumcision is done 8 days after childbirth because maximal clotting and healing capacity is reached.
If a patient wishes to have a penile shaft girth enlargement, and he is not circumcised, it is highly recommended to have a circumcision prior to the male enhancement procedure. The reason why it is very important to first get circumcised is due to the fact that the filler that is inserted into the penile shaft might migrate into the foreskin, and result in collagen formation and thus a thickened foreskin. The thickened foreskin may cause an issue cosmetically or even medically not allowing the foreskin to freely retract back over or behind the glans. The images below will show successful penile shaft enlargements with patients who were circumcised and uncircumcised, as well as uncircumcised patients who were not as successful.
Image 10 & 11 show the normal uncircumcised male with normal foreskin function.
Image 12 shows a penile shaft girth enhancement, but the problem is not evident.
Image 13 shows that the foreskin cannot slide over the glans because it has been thickened by the filler material collagen develop there and thickened the foreskin preventing motion
Images 15 and 16 demonstrate a patient with the foreskin in its natural state, and also with it pulled back.
Then image 17 shows after the circumcision, with a very little foreskin remaining. Image 18 shows how close the circumcision line is to the glans. This is desirable for penile shaft girth enlargement treatment.
Image 1a & 1b demonstrate an uncircumcised patient with and without the foreskin pulled back. You will notice a very large bump-out from under the skin. This was an implant surgically placed to increase vaginal (clitoral) stimulation. These pieces of plastic were surgically implanted several years prior to coming to our clinic.
Image 2 will show many changes. In the first image the patient was circumcised. Secondly, the patient had a penile shaft girth enhancement. Lastly, the plastic implant under the skin was removed.
During the enlargement procedure in uncircumcised patients, the placement of the filler is done in a way that the foreskin doesn’t get involved so it does not enlarge, however, 60-70% of the patients with this condition could present some complications related to the evolution of the post-procedure care protocol varying in the intensity or degree of presentation. There are three main outcomes
The first one where everything heals nicely, and your penis keeps the same proportions with an enlarged girth. Some minor complications related to inflammation could be seen during the recovery process, but the overall outcome is completely satisfactory.
The foreskin thickens and could give a flaccid ‘top-heavy’ aspect to the shaft, something that usually evens out during erections. The foreskin will inevitably cover the glans during the flaccid state, but as the penis engorges during the erection this foreskin will redistribute.
The foreskin thickens and won’t retract to expose the glans. Even during the erection, the foreskin and its opening won’t dilate enough in order to allow the glans to be exposed, this situation will undoubtedly lead to a circumcision.
The last two worst-case scenarios, although unlikely to happen, are worth mentioning, and patients must understand the risks if deciding to move forward with the procedure without being circumcised. A circumcision, which is a simple procedure, could be performed before, during, or after the penile shaft enhancement, but preferably prior to or along with the enhancement procedure. Once you have developed new collagen, not all physicians performing circumcisions might be familiarized with the enhancement procedure and how to perform the circumcision afterward. You may want to schedule that circumcision at a Loria Medical location who are best able to handle this type of procedure.
The remnant of the foreskin does not pose any major complication during or after the healing process of a standard circumcision. In combination with a shaft enhancement, many patients find a new level of improved sensitivity as sexual activities tend to be more stimulating.
No. The presence or absence of foreskin does not influence the shaping of the coronal rim of the glans. If any changes are visible is just an optical illusion. The glans itself on the other hand will be more prominent as it will be exposed, but it won’t modify its actual anatomy.
Circumcised patients tend to have the glans rim flare out more than uncircumcised patients.
