Pubic Liposuction and Simultaneous Circumcision

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I am scheduled to be in on 10/20/09 for a circumcision revision at 1pm. I have a thick pubic fat pad that conceals some of my penis. Do you do any procedures to greatly reduce it to almost nothing, how much does it cost if you do and would you be able to do that at the same time?     Eliazar

Good morning Eliazar,

Yes, removal of the pubic fat pad is something we do fairly often, but please remember the pubis is the lymphatic delta that drains the penis. Aggressive liposuction, which is what you are asking for, will imperil your circumcision wound healing.  Best to do this either before or after.

Our ultrasonic liposuction unit is state of the art and avoids the burns often associated with laser liposuction.  When your fat starts been evacuated through a large clear plastic tube, we call it the
“march of the fat.”

Most cordially,

 Was done about 4 days ago in Phillie and one side is as lot looser than the other and there are puckers between the stitches.  The doctor said this is acceptable and should even out with time.  Deveoped some pain after shopping at the Mall, then put some ice on it to help dshrink what might sdimply be a bruise. Fortunately doin’t have to travel back to Phillie to see him because he said the stitches would melt out.

 Dr. Reed, heard about the wonderful things you are doing in Miami.  Any ideas?

HELP!!!

You don’t go to the Mall after a circumcision, you stay in the recovery room  for a good 2 hours to be sure there is no untoward bleeding and then within 8 minutes you are in bed at a nearby motel where the doctor can see you the next day or go home if within an 8 minute’s driving range.

Do not stop at the pharmacy, a few hours of local anesthesia can an be very disillusioning and harmful if you do things other than bed rest.

All sutures, absorbable or not, must be removed typically on the 12th day, lest you have cross hatch marks (ghost lines) or pin holes permanently.

Usually what you see on the table is what you get, unless there is a good reason to believe otherwise.  Please take a good 3 or more months to heal and then if concerned see me for a revision if you feel this is indicated. 

Please do not put ice on the penis as you could get frost bite with skin damage.  Penile skin is very precious and large scars are not a good substitute.

Wishing you well,

Need a circumcision revision, from Australia

Need a circumcision revision, from Australia

Greetings Dr. Reed and/or staff. Thankyou for your site/s. They have proven extremely informative. Hopefully I am not troubling you with this question – but there is no one in Melbourne who seems to specialise in this field… I had an adult circumcision earlier this year due to phimosis. I was hesitant to have the surgery done, but years of complications urged me otherwise. As I didn’t have insurance, I was assessed at the local hospital. I was never asked what kind of circumcision I was after, so it never dawned on me there were variations to the method. I was naive enough to think there was just one ’style’. The surgeon who performed the surgery did not inform me on the day of the outcome, so I went into the surgery innocent and goofishly optimistic. The surgeon performed a ‘low and loose’ circumcision – about half an inch below the glands. The problem I have is that the cut is very uneven, and I have what appears to be obvious suture marks/skin tunnels. The stitches were left in for 2-3 weeks. Kiernan

Hi Kiernan,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

We have performed over 5000 cosmetic circumcisions in the past 35 years
and usually do several cases every week.

We have done sons of physicians, brothers, religious circumcisions,
men who have not seen the heads of their penis for 20 years! This
is your circumcision and we do it the way you want with respect
to 4 parameters.

Please don’t be like the patient who writes: “Dr. Reed I just got circumcised
two days ago and my result was not what i expected. I was wondering
when i recover can i get a consultation with you.” Photos sent
and received (unspoken comment “disaster zone”)

Even laying a finger on one side asymmetrically while holding the penis
can create distortion and an uneven circumcision line. As they say in
carpentry, measure twice, cut once.

Be assured we will show you every courtesy,

All the best,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Quests: If i have my parents consent, am i allowed to get circumcised at age 17?  Kevin  

Good morning Kevin,

The answer is “yes.”   One of your parents should accompany you.

Have a great weekend,
