“Railroad track” scarring, from previous circumcision
January 21, 2010
Dr. Reed,
I’m a 66-year-young man who was circumcised as an adult over 3 decades ago. I’m pleased with the results except for the “railroad track” scar that rings my penis just below its coronal ridge. This scar has always bothered me, and I’m seriously considering a belated revision to tighten my original circumcision and to erase the unsightly scarring.
This revision would be done for purely aesthetic reasons — and my peace of mind.
Would you consider assisting me if I were to arrange a consultation? Any information you could provide would be appreciated.
M. R. James
Good morning Mr. James,
Thanks for your E-mail inquiry and visiting our web-site http://penisdoctor.com/circumcision.htm.
A circumcision is perhaps the highest cosmetic calling given to a urologist. We do revisions just for the reasons you describe several times a week. Please call a member of our office staff from Monday through Friday between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM and be assured we will show you every courtesy.
The Reed Centre enjoys a reputation for excellence and exactitude when it comes to cosmetically performed adult circumcisions. We operate within tolerances of 1/32″ or about 1/2 mm.
With regards,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.

P.S. Take a look at this unsolicited web-site constructed by a patient of mine. Is this what you have in mind? Especially the photos taken 60 days post-op.
