Have you performed any partial circumcisions?  Would you kindly provide any photos of this procedure and the efficacy of this procedure to alleviate phimosis.   Seth

Thanks

• Good morning Seth,

Yes, I have done several partial circumcisions.

Recovery is a lot longer because difficult to apply a compressive dressing without hindering urination and daily hygiene.  A lot more swelling.

example 8/1 is such a result.

Best wishes for a restful weekend,

Is circumcision possible if u have HBP or it can cause complications?

Good morning Phulasizwe,

If you having an elective procedure, every risk threatening
aspect of your health should be brought under good control.

Many patients have high blood pressure (HBP), and your doctor should
not let you walk around like that.

If you have a bout on unexpected hypertension before surgery perhaps
related to being overly anxious we will medicate you to keep your blood
pressure in a more normal range.  High blood pressure is not good
for your heart, brain, or kidneys, and when undergoing surgery, could
result in more bleeding and oozing after surgery.
Patients with a history of HPB and on medications to control it,
undergo surgery every day.  Not to worry.

With kindest regards,

I am 21 years old now and I would like to be circumcised. I have no problems with the foreskin as far as sliding it back and forth. No pain or anything. I would like to know what would be the most common procedure for a male my age? Would the foreskin be cut from the tip? I have seen procedures as to where the penis was cut in the middle of the shaft of an 18 yr old male. Once he said it healed, it didn’t look much different.   Sean

Good morning Sean,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Given that your skin slides easily, you could have a low, medium or high cut, although we recommend a medium cut.  Tightness is another issue and we can operate to suit within reason.  We are accustomed to accepting a lot of direction from patients, after all this is your circumcision, and the best way to go about this is through pre-marking while you are on the exam (not operating room)
table.

If your insurance company pays us our fee in full, then of course we accept your insurance.  If not, we may need to do you in a hospital setting which is a little more involved for both of us.  Anne our amiable office manage could best advise.

We have performed over 6000 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”)
 
Be assured we will show you every courtesy,
 
All the best,

I was wondering if it were possible for you to perform a partil circumcision. I am happy with my foreskin, have no problems with it, etc. It is just a bit too long for my taste and I would liek to have it maybe 1/2 an inch shorter. I have read online that this surgery is called a partial circumcision or a minimal circumcision. Have you done this procedure before? How exactly would it happen? I would like to have minimal visible scarring and keep the retracting nature of the foreskin intact. Would this be a sleeve resection method? Would the frenulum be removed? Thanks, I appreciate your response.   Daryl

Hello,

Yes the outcome in that figure is how I want my penis to end up. I have heard that partial circs often result in scar tissues causing phimosis, is this true?

Good afternoon Daryl,

A partial circ will certainly result in a lot more swelling
and may make it impossible for you to retract your foreskin for several
weeks for daily hygiene.  You will need to use a Q-tip with warm
water and very dilute soap.

Phimosis would most likely persist if the patient had that to begin
with and the doctor did not remove enough scar tissue.

We are very careful about that.

With kindest regards,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

Would the frenulum need to be removed in a partial circ? Also, I’ve never had problems with phimosis, just a long foreskin, so i’m assuming that phimosis would not happen after a partial circ. What about scarring? is it on the inner or outer foreskin? Are most people happy withtheir partial circ procedures?

Good afternoon Daryl,

The frenulum does not have to be removed.

The incision line can wind up at the end or further inside
or outside.

Please initiate a consultation with our office by sending us
a check for 250 when there is further interest.

Sincerely,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.
