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.

    Dear Sir,

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

    We do ask that you stay for one, ideally 2 days at the Baltic Hotel (advanced tourist class) and I will see you there daily.

    You could return to an office environment in about 4 days after circumcision. Our 2 layered wrap of soft conforming gauze and Coban will provide comfort
    and reduce swelling.

    We have done sons of physicians, medical students and residents, 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.
