What is revision circumcision?

Revision circumcision is a second operation to correct or improve the result of an earlier circumcision. At our Cardiff clinic, every revision starts with a separate consultation, because the work needed differs for each patient. The operation is done under local anaesthetic and, as a guide, takes 1 to 2 hours.

Medically reviewed by Dr Zubair Wani, MBChB, MRCS (Eng), MRCGP.

Dr Wani personally carries out every procedure at our clinic and sees you from consultation through to review. He trained across plastic, general, vascular and orthopaedic surgery, and completed his circumcision training under plastic and urological surgeons in the UK.

2,000+ circumcisions performed

Who might consider a revision?

  • Excess foreskin left after the first procedure
  • An uneven or irregular appearance
  • Tightness, discomfort or complications since the first procedure
  • Scarring or skin bridges

It makes no difference whether your first circumcision was done in childhood or adulthood, or where it was done.

How a revision is done

The method depends on what you need. Dr Wani will use traditional surgical techniques or, where possible, the stapler, and will explain the recommended approach at your consultation.

What happens

1. Consultation

Dr Wani listens to your concerns, examines you and explains what is realistic.

2. Your plan and fee

You receive a plan for your procedure and the fee before deciding whether to go ahead.

3. Procedure

Carried out under local anaesthetic on a separate day. As a guide, 1 to 2 hours.

4. Aftercare

Written instructions and direct messaging with our aftercare team.

Recovery after revision

Office work

Possible from the next day, but most patients take a few days off for comfort.

1 to 2 weeks

Expect pain and swelling.

2 weeks

Exercise, lifting and physical jobs can usually resume.

2 to 3 weeks

Dissolvable stitches dissolve.

4 to 6 weeks

Sex can usually resume. Full healing can take up to 6 weeks.

Realistic results

A revision can often improve comfort and appearance, but no surgeon can guarantee a particular result. Existing scar tissue and the amount of skin available can limit what is possible. Dr Wani will tell you honestly what can be achieved, and if he does not think surgery will help.

Risks include swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, scarring and being unhappy with the result.

Aftercare that stays with you

Good aftercare matters as much as the procedure. You go home with verbal and written instructions and direct access to our aftercare team, so you are not left wondering whether something is normal.

Being treated locally also means that if you have a concern, we can see you quickly at the clinic rather than leaving you to find help elsewhere.

Revision circumcision FAQs

How much does a revision cost?

It depends on the amount of work needed and how complex it is. Dr Wani confirms the fee after your £150 consultation.

Can it be done in one visit?

No. A revision always needs a consultation before the procedure.

Will I be awake?

Yes. The operation is done under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb while you stay awake.

How long does the operation take?

As a guide, 1 to 2 hours, depending on the amount of work needed.

How long do I need off work?

Returning to an office job the next day is possible, but most patients take a few days off for comfort. Allow 2 weeks for a physical job.

What should I avoid?

Avoid physical exercise and heavy lifting for 2 weeks.

When can I have sex again?

Usually 4 to 6 weeks afterwards.

How long does it take to heal?

Expect pain and swelling for the first 1 to 2 weeks. Full healing can take up to 6 weeks, though this varies.
