About Circumcision Revision
There are many unique benefits to a circumcision revision, both medicinal and cosmetic that patients can enjoy. A circumcision revision procedure can lower the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as acquired immune deficiency syndrome. (1) Circumcision can also lower the risk of penile cancer. Those with female partners may find that the chance of cervical cancer in their partner is lowered. Circumcision can help prevent certain medical conditions such as paraphimosis, phimosis, or balanitis. (1) A circumcision revision procedure can also help improve the functionality, restore confidence, and enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of this intimate region. Patients may also find it to be easier to maintain cleanliness and experience overall improved comfort as a result.
Candidates
All candidates interested in a circumcision revision should be in good health overall with no underlying medical conditions that may disrupt the healing procedure. Candidates who are interested in a full circumcision revision procedure are often experiencing a level of dissatisfaction or complications and discomfort from a previous circumcision. Patients may also be experiencing lowered self-esteem due to how the previous circumcision affected the appearance of the genitals; patients may be experiencing uneven or excess foreskin or even visual deformities or anomalies due to scarring.
Those interested in a circumcision revision may also be experiencing functionality or medical issues including looseness, tightness, or persistent discomfort from inflammation. Patients may undergo a full circumcision revision to correct the look of the penis due to personal preference and may be interested in further enhancing the cosmetic results of their initial procedure.
Personal Consultation
We ask that each patient at California Adult Circumcision attend a personal consultation with Dr. Bidair before scheduling their procedure. This personal consultation is a chance for Dr. Bidair to get to know each patient on a more personal level and better understand their experienced symptoms and ideal treatment outcomes. A personal consultation allows Dr. Bidair to start strategizing the best methods and techniques to help patients look and feel like their very best selves.
The full cost of each procedure will also be discussed with the patient, and a knowledgeable member of our staff can help walk each patient through their payment options.

Preparation for a Circumcision Revision
Patients will receive a set of preparation instructions at their consultation before their procedure. These instructions will be tailored to each patient, taking their medical history and lifestyle into account. Patients may be asked to avoid certain medications or supplements before their procedure, such as blood thinners. Patients who smoke should be prepared to quit before the procedure and refrain from smoking until approved by Dr. Bidair. Patients who drink should refrain from consuming alcohol a few weeks before their procedure until fully healed.
Patients should pre-arrange for any time off from work they need for both the procedure and the initial recovery period.
Circumcision Revision Procedure
The procedure starts with anesthesia being administered to ensure that the patient feels fully comfortable. Dr. Bidair will then carefully make an incision to delicately reposition the targeted tissues. During the procedure, Dr. Bidair will use precise techniques to create a smoother, more ideal appearance. The procedure can take anywhere between 1-2 hours depending on the exact symptoms being treated as well as the treatment plan itself.
Recovery
Patients should ensure they follow recovery instructions given to them by Dr. Bidair or another member of our team to ensure optimal results. Following the procedure, patients may experience mild to moderate discomfort in the treatment area. Patients may need to take a few days to rest before returning to work and should avoid physical activity or heavy lifting for the first 1-2 weeks. Additionally, patients should avoid sexual activity for 3-4 weeks or until Dr. Bidair indicates that they are more fully healed.
Dr. Bidair may ask patients to attend follow-up appointments to help assess and monitor the treatment site during healing, and to ensure a smooth recovery. Follow-ups are also done via email and telehealth if the patient is from out of the San Diego area.
Results
Most patients will be able to experience the full results of their circumcision revision procedure about 3-6 months after their initial treatment. By this point, the swelling should be fully subsided and patients have fully assimilated back into their daily routine. Patients report feeling more satisfied and confident about their intimate appearance following their circumcision revision treatment. Following a full circumcision revision, individuals experience improved functionality in the penis and relief from symptoms such as discomfort from persistent tightness or irritation. Patients will feel better about how the new scar line looks compared to before. If there is any excess skin that needs to be trimmed or removed, the overall look of the penis will improve. Those who suffer from recurring infections in this area may see a decrease in the number of complications as a result of a full circumcision revision, leading to better intimate health overall. (2) The results depend on what the patient wishes to have revised in the first place.
Once healed, the treatment site will appear to look more symmetrical and even, with any scarring from the original circumcision being reduced or smoothed out during the procedure, creating a more natural and visually pleasing look. The results of a circumcision revision are permanent and long-lasting and often do not need further procedures after healing.
