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.

Hello Doctor Reed,

It makes me relieved to have found your site and to know that there are circumcision specialists.

I underwent circumcision 7 weeks and I’m very dissatisfied with the results. Apparently the suturing was poorly performed, resulting in bumps that (to me at least) resemble warts. There’s also an area
around the scar line that folds inward (as seem in picture DSCN0474) when the penis is erect.

As for me it’s a long way to drop by for just a consultation (I live in Brazil), I was wondering if you could take a look at attached pictures and give me an idea of what I should expect from a revision surgery. Can I have a good looking scar line again?

The pictures were taken today, 48 days after the procedure.

Thank you,

Alexildo

Good morning Alexildo

Your photos have been reviewed and several thoughts come to mind. Until a doctor-patient relationship has been established, I do not wish to critique what you and I both see.

Fair to say you need to wait a good 3 to 4 months after your original procedure (adult circumcision) before a revision can be done. Your situation may improve somewhat without my intervention, but I am not sure, even then you will be happy unless a touch up is done.

Please initiate a phone consultation with our office. Puckers are often the result of widely placed, overly tight large caliber sutures, and regretfully may persist unless revised.

With kindest regards,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.
