Had circ, skin bunches on underside
Hi Dr. Reed -
I am interested in the possibility of having some excess skin removed that bunches on the underside of the penis. This wouldn’t be a circumcision, as I am already circumcised, but more of a ‘penis lift’, I guess, for lack of a better term. I’m concerned about preserving a particular area of sensitivity on the underside, however, so I’m just curious about what my options, if any, might be for something like this.
My guess is that a consultation may be in order. I am in New York, however, and I’m wondering how you go about scheduling consultations for out-of-towners. Do you request photos first to get a sense of things? If you are able to determine if things can move forward, are consultations and procedures usually scheduled within close proximity, or are subsequent visits are usually made? In this case, though, I suppose it’s best to see first what can be done with my particular situation.
Thank you in advance for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Clinton
Good afternoon Clinton,
Thank you for your interest in what we do. If you will, E-mail me several well focused photos of yourself. Bunching of skin on the underside may relate to the fact the doctor did not do any even approximation all the way around, which could have been accomplished (usually) if he bisected his suture approach (6 o’clock followed by 12 o’clock followed by 3 and then 9 and so on. However, we can correct this now. You may have a longitudinal incsion on the underside, but this should heal fairly neatly.
Best wishes,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
