default
Posted on Wed, 30 Aug 2017
Question: Hi, I am schudle to have a circumcision in a few week, and when met the doctor I really didn't ask too many questions partly because I am embarraed. The only question I ask was the possibility of blood clot because the cut will be in the vein. I am doing it because of cosmetic reason.I would like the scar no more than and inch long. Are there any question I should ask before the surgery? I heard in an internet groups that I belong to said something about freuim.. I want the finished look to be good looking. any suggestion? Many thanks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

You have been scheduled to undergo surgery of Circumcision and is worried about some facts.

I would like to state that Circumcision surgery is most simple and safe surgery .There is visible scar seen on penis and takes 3 -4 weeks for complete cure .

Now a days all surgeons are using fine absorb able suture material for approximation of skin edges hence there is less tissue reaction and the resultant scar is very fine and almost invisible after 3-4 months .

The frenulum is not excised and kept intact .

Go ahead and get the surgery done .Do not surf on internet .It will confuse you more than any help .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
