FAQs

1. Can I see a doctor before committing myself to a circumcision?

Yes, certainly. We have consultants available for this purpose at a nominal cost of £25 per consultation.

2. Do you treat non-UK residents?

We see many people from different countries, adults and children with their families, who have come to us to benefit from the most advanced treatments available. Most have taken advantage of the low-cost fares offered by budget airline operators to take a short holiday while being treated.

3. What is the recovery period after circumcision?

We recommend a week's rest after surgery. Sedentary work can be undertaken after 2 days.

4. Which operating procedures do you use?

We use the Forceps Guided method for adults and the Plastibell® procedure for children and babies.

5. Can revision operations be carried out to 'tidy-up' earlier bad circumcisions?

Yes, but a consultation is required at a nominal cost of £25 to make a decision prior to the operation.

6. I have a very tight section of skin that attaches the underside of my glans to the foreskin and prevents me from fully retracting my foreskin. Would circumcision cure this?

Yes. We generally recommend that this skin (see Frenulum and Frenulum Breve in the Glossary ) is also removed during circumcision.
