Circumcision reversal?

[pdj]

I want to know if there is a procedure to pull skin back over the head of my penis so that I appear normal (uncircumcised). Like many Americans, I was circumcised at birth and, like many Americans, I have hated every minute of it and wished my parents had cared more about what I wanted than what other people were saying. I am not interested in manual restoration (from what I have seen, it means lots of work and pain and doesn't end up looking anything like a real penis anyway). I saw a plastic surgeon once (I live in LA; they're as available as dentists) and he said it might be possible.

Just so you know, women like 'em circumcized.

[rita02]

what do you hate so much if you've never known it any other way?

you can try foreskin restoration or reconstruction and most women prefer an uncircumcised men because of the sexual benefits and non circumcised men have no brain damage or mental problems because of circumcision.

why do women that have never had big breasts want implants?the reason he wants this is for the protection and sexual benefits the foreskin gives.isn't it funny that on this same page a woman wants to be circumcised and a man wants his circumcision reversed?this is why no baby should be circumcised.if you have this surgery it will not look normal either.the normal foreskin has mucosa type skin on the inside this surgery puts outer penile skin on the head of your penis while the manual restoration keeps hairless mucosal skin over the head.the new skin on the shaft of your penis will be your scrotal skin you will need electrolysis on the outer shaft and possibly on your new inner foreskin.and belive me having your penis threaded through your scrotum for three months is very painful.

circumcision has caused you permanent nerve damage this surgery will cause more nerve damage causing you to feel less pleasure while the manual restoration doesn't cause this.also part of your scrotum that will now be on your penis could have been used at a future date for new eylids or linig of the mouth if you needed it because of an accident or disease.i would reconsider this surgery if i were you.

Studies show over and over that being uncircumsized can be problematic health wise for you but mostly for your partners, it can make you more prone to a variety of ptoblems.

To blame your parents for doing what millions of parents are advised to do when their child is born seems ridiculous to me. I mean, come on. Surgically trying to change it is likely to cause you more problems than it could possibly solve. I say get some counselling about it and find out why you would blame your parents for such a thing. It isn't like you can ask a newborn baby if they prefer to be circumcized or not!

[tlh777]

which is exactly why a child should not be circumcised.if you ask the doctor that circumcised you whose fault it is they will say your parents.if you ask your parents they might blame the doctor.so who is to blame?the unethical doctor and your parents.

This is my question (which unfortunately was not answered), so allow me to respond.
Anxiousmomtobe: You should be anxious if you plan on circumcising your kids because you have a sick sexual fetish. I've never forgiven my mother for it and we have probably the best mother-son relationship ever otherwise. She said she knew she shouldn't have, but there was peer pressure. All of my female friends say either it doesn't matter or they find uncircumcised penises fun. I was born in 1982, so attitudes must have changed. My father once said that everyone he knew was circumcised. That's CERTAINLY not the case with me; it's not rare or weird anymore, for guys or girls.
Rita02: What do you mean I've never known it any other way? I have lots of uncircumcised friends. It looks better, more comfortable and none of them wish they were circumcised, whereas most of my circumcised friends would rather not be. Doesn't mean they admit this to their parents, but that's the truth.
Kalio1: I love how you try to make it my fault that my parents screwed up. Again, I was born in 1982, not the middle ages. Nearly half my peers weren't circumcised. My parents knew better and the doctors knew better. They simply made a horrible choice that wasn't theirs to make in the first place. Also, the problems of being uncircumcised are extremely rare (why is the AIDS rate in America 6 times that of Norway, where the procedure is almost never done?), while complications from the procedure are routine, including skin tags, infections, painful sexual intercourse, tearing during sex, and requiring some kind of lotion for masturbation. Your information is skewed by a few perverts who have a circumcision fetish and wish to share this with the world.

[pdj]

I feel like I should share a bit more with you, after thinking more about Kalio1's comment, which really hurt me. It's as if he/she felt my parents were the victims, because they were forced to make a decision without being able to consult me. There was no decision to make, because there was nothing wrong with me. They created this "should we or shouldn't we?" There's no problem with leaving me alone, so why even pretend like there's a question? No one asks themselves "well, my daughter might have small breasts, I should force her to get enhancements now, at 10 years old, so she won't have to face the humiliation of small breasts in a few years." (Actually that's more rational than circumcision, because one is more likely to have small breasts than an infection from being uncircumcised, and the girl could reverse it later). Millions of Europeans are doing just fine, having healthier sex lives and living longer with their whole penis. I have a wonderful relationship with my parents, but it still took me almost 20 years to admit to them how much they had hurt me. You know what? They had no idea. They thought I was cool with it, because I'd never brought it up. Cool with it??!! For nearly two decades, I'd stayed awake at night sweating, because I hated the thought of living my life less than a man. I'd been so disgusted with my body that I nearly threw up. I'd screamed when I was alone, because I was so angry at them. I'd slept in, because I was so depressed about never being able to be normal that I couldn't get up. I was humiliated during sex, because I felt like I was giving the girl less than she deserved. All this and my circumcision was actually successful (I even got to keep my frenulum, thank God, or I wouldn't feel much of anything) and my parents thought I was fine with it. Think again before you come to any conclusions. Your child is suffering inside and it's all because you decided you were a poor victim who had to choose between a stupid elective surgery that does no one any good and treating your child like a human being. Do you know how infuriating and insulting that is?

pdj,

I have been restoring for 3 years, very irregularly, so I should be done already, but kids, family time and stress have gotten in the way.

Partial or full coverage takes months or years by tugging.  It is a slow process.  It also has some (manageable) risks.  

I can tell you this.  The physical pleasure and sensitivity one gets by having just a *little* more mobility to the skin on the penis  is astounding.  For me this took somewhere like a 3-4 weeks, tugging with T-tape.  -That is how most folks get started, until they have enough skin to pull over a tugger.  Note: I was not circ'ed too tightly and do have my  frenelum.   Your mileage may vary.

So initially you don't get much cosmetic change, but tactilely it is a whopping difference.  (I have seen another fellow comment that this sea change took him 4 weeks.) * The glans becomes super-arousing and sensitive in a good way to touch and pressure and stretching.  You gain a lot of control over your speed of approach to orgasm, and getting there is a LOT more fun.
-You now have a "knob" instead of a "switch", so to speak.

That initial gain takes only a month or two and uses T-tape which is fairly safe and effective.  You could do that and be very very satisfied with the feeling gained.  Cosmetics is another matter.

You could at that point also tape your foreskin shut over your glans during the day and night and gain a lot of the benefits of coverage -without growing 15 sq. inches of skin.  

Here's the quote:*
"After four weeks of keeping my glans covered,
I had about the best sex ever in my whole life,
just about what you'd expect in the back seat of a red '75 Impala,
except it was in bed with someone I've lived with for 22 years."

- Rob Roberts

I agree with Roberts.  Every mm of motion will then feel good, which is completely different from how it was when I started.  

So consider T-tape tugging for a month or two.  You might well get a lot for a little inconvenience and a few dollars.  Surgery is kilodollars... and iffy.

Thanks for your post, too.
