Circumcision revision is a surgical procedure that addresses undesirable outcomes from a patient’s original circumcision. At Gentle Procedures Dallas, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Mertroplex, the circumcision revision procedure can be done under local anesthetic right in our clinic, often without stitches using our unique skin glue closure.
The first step is to consult with the doctor to review your options. After an assessment of the existing circumcision, we will recommend a revision procedure if appropriate. Call us at 469-931-0684 to schedule your consultation.
For infants to age 24 weeks, boys over age 12, teens and men, we offer a fast and effective response to issues related to a previous circumcision from another facility.
What is Circumcision Revision?
Circumcision revision is a procedure that responds to what is called an “incomplete circumcision.” When too little foreskin is removed during the initial circumcision, the appearance of the penis is affected.
The majority of circumcisions are performed without complication. However, if you have concerns about foreskin remaining on the penis after circumcision, it’s recommended the condition be assessed and addressed as soon possible. If untreated, the issue can develop into medical problems and the excess foreskin left on the penis will minimize the benefits circumcision offers.
Circumcision revision is a corrective procedure Dr. McAuliff offers. His clinic is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
At Gentle Procedures Clinic Dallas, we provide circumcision revisions for infants on up through adults. Toddlers up the age of two and boys who are at least nine can have the revision right here in our clinic. We’re equipped to serve patients who may desire or require circumcision revision with minimal stress or discomfort.
Pricing for Circumcision Revision
The total cost for circumcision revision for boys, teens, and men is $2200, with a $400.00 deposit to hold the appointment and the remaining $1800.00 due on the day of the procedure. We do ask our patients to pay in full at the time of service. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable. If you do cancel and reschedule 7 days or more from the date of your appointment, the deposit will apply to the cost of the procedure. If you cancel 6 days or less before the originally-scheduled appointment and you wish to reschedule the appointment then you will need to pay a new deposit. We have this policy out of consideration for other clients who may have wished to schedule in that time slot but did not have the opportunity because it was held for you. If you cancel very close to the appointment, someone else did not have a chance to schedule in that time slot.
We do not take insurance for the procedure.
It is our experience that insurance does not cover the cost of a circumcision revision. Most insurance companies have a disclaimer that says they will only pay for procedures that are “reasonable and necessary”. Despite how the patient may feel about the necessity of this procedure, the insurance companies usually do not considerate it to be medically necessary and they do not pay for it. Thus, the medical group is not affiliated with any insurance companies and does not file insurance claims for the procedure.
Financing is available through AdvanceCare Card, including the possibility of a payment plan that is interest free for 6 or 14 months. Please call the clinic during business hours for more information or go to the website, www.advancecarecard.com.
Reasons for Circumcision Revision
Typically, circumcision revision is related to cosmetic concerns from the original procedure. The appearance of the penis is often of concern for parents with religious or cultural motivations. The medical benefits of a complete circumcision, such as a reduction in urinary tract infections, lower STD risk, etc., may also be affected.
In the case of neonatal circumcision, it’s suggested that any issues from the original procedure be addressed as soon as possible. We can treat infants up to 24 weeks of age in our office, boys over age 12, and men. It’s never too late to correct an issue with an imperfect circumcision.
Not Enough Foreskin Removed
When not enough of the foreskin is removed during the original circumcision, it results in a condition known as redundant foreskin. It is also considered the outcome of an “incomplete circumcision.” When the penis is flaccid, the foreskin will still cover the glans, so the organ appears as if it is uncircumcised.
For families who chose circumcision this defeats the purpose of the original procedure. Plus, though the foreskin is not entirely removed, it is shortened. This can lead to discomfort, rubbing and a build-up of scar tissue, with a heightened risk of phimosis as your child grows.
Some parents assume as their child develops physically, the problem will resolve itself. Unfortunately, this is not the case. It is highly recommended that this issue be addressed as soon as possible.
Too Much Foreskin Removed
This is a very rare occurrence in North American circumcision procedures, though first time parents may harbor worries. Dr. McAuliff is sensitive to those concerns, so don’t hesitate to ask questions. If you need to correct a procedure that was done elsewhere, Gentle Procedures is here to help with a safe and gentle circumcision revision.
When you need a medical opinion on circumcision revision, please call Gentle Procedures Clinic at 469-931-0684 to schedule an appointment with Dr. McAuliff.
Circumcision revision can be a difficult topic for some parents to discuss, but don’t feel uncomfortable asking questions. We’re committed to our patients’ well-being – before, during and after any procedure we perform, including a circumcision revision.
Circumcision Revision for Infants
Circumcision revision to remove excess foreskin is a relatively simple procedure performed in our clinic under local anesthesia. Many babies sleep right through the procedure.
The surgical rooms are warm and soothing, with sugar pacifiers on hand if needed. Parents are always welcome to stay with their child if they so choose.
If you are concerned about the appearance of your son’s penis after a circumcision, please feel free to call us for a consultation.
Circumcision Revision for Boys and Men
We would always recommend that circumcision revision be done as soon as possible after the original procedure but sometimes that isn’t an option or issues arise later in life to interrupt the desire to correct the problem.
Gentle Procedures Dallas Clinic provides both circumcision and revision procedures to adult males of all ages, to boys over age 12, and to infants up to 24 weeks old,so we are well equipped to address issues relating to cosmetic or medical concerns from a circumcision performed elsewhere.
Dallas Fort Worth patients seeking a circumcision revision can call Gentle Procedures at 469-931-0684 to request a consultation or schedule a procedure.
