Adult Circumcision Style: Low or High Circumcision<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Circumcision Style Choices for Cosmetic, Hygienic or Aesthetic Circumcision<\/h2>\n

It is important to understand that the choice of circumcision scar location<\/strong> between low circumcision<\/a><\/strong> (close to the glans) or high circumcision (farther away from the glans) is only relevant to men who desire to have a circumcision for anesthetic or hygienic reasons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Men who undergo cosmetic circumcision<\/a><\/strong> can communicate to their surgeon where they prefer to have the circumcision scar.  Most of the time, the surgeon can accommodate patient preferences when circumcision is performed for cosmetic reasons.<\/p>\n

When circumcision was performed for aesthetic or hygienic reasons<\/strong> and there is no underlying medical problem<\/strong> that needs to be addressed, the surgeon has a choice of where to make the circumcision incision<\/strong>.  As a result to some extent, a patient can request to make that incision either closer to the corona of the penis (glans) or higher (farther away from the glans).<\/p>\n

We perform cosmetic circumcision<\/strong><\/a>, circumcision revision<\/a><\/strong>, penile frenuloplasty, and offer treatment for phimosis, balanitis, penile irritation, and redness. We treat sexual and erection problems<\/a><\/strong> and offer comprehensive STD testing<\/a><\/strong> for infections. We offer confidential appointments. Our prices are affordable with or without insurance<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Circumcision Style Choices for Patients with Phimosis, Balanitis, Pain in Penis, and Other Medical Problems.<\/h2>\n

Men who have a medical problem that requires circumcision or frenuloplasty<\/strong>, or both, do not have much of a choice in where the circumcision scar will go. <\/p>\n

Patients who have pain with erections<\/a><\/strong>, frequent inflammation or infection of the foreskin<\/a><\/strong>, genital warts, vitiligo, paraphimosis, balanitis, or phimosis<\/a> <\/strong>have abnormal skin that needs to be removed<\/strong> to solve the underlying problem.  <\/p>\n

The decision where to make an incision<\/em> and thus where the scar will appear is driven by the underlying need to remove abnormal and unhealthy skin<\/strong> that is causing pain, discomfort, or infections.   It is important to understand that patients with a medical problem that requires circumcision have little choice over whether the location of circumcision scar is low or high<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Men with medical problems requiring circumcision can still express preference if they want the circumcision to be tighter or looser.  At New York Urology Specialists, we typically perform circumcisions that are neither too tight nor too loose.  Very tight circumcisions can cause significant problems for men.<\/p>\n
