Cosmetic Circumcision: What It Is and Why We Don’t Offer It

At My Home Circumcision, we specialize in safe, compassionate, and expert newborn circumcision, performed in the comfort of your home. We're often contacted by adults inquiring about cosmetic circumcision—a procedure focused on revising or enhancing the appearance of the penis for aesthetic purposes.

While this is a valid option for some men, it's important to clarify that we do not perform adult circumcision or cosmetic revision procedures. When adults reach out to us, we respectfully refer them to a board-certified urologist who is trained in adult surgical care.

This article explains:

• What cosmetic circumcision involves
• Why it differs from newborn circumcision
  
• Why My Home Circumcision focuses solely on infants
  
• How to find qualified care for adult procedures
  
• And most importantly: how to make informed decisions about circumcision at any age

What Is Cosmetic Circumcision?

Cosmetic circumcision refers to a surgical procedure done primarily for aesthetic reasons, rather than for medical or religious purposes. It's often chosen by adult men who want to:

• Revise the results of a previous circumcision
• Achieve a more symmetrical or "tighter" look
• Minimize scarring
• Increase personal or partner satisfaction with appearance

Unlike traditional circumcision, which is common in infancy and performed for medical or cultural reasons, cosmetic circumcision is an elective, adult procedure that focuses on visual enhancement.

Common Reasons Adults Seek Cosmetic Circumcision

• Scar Revision: Addressing uneven healing or scarring from a previous circumcision
• Aesthetic Symmetry: Creating a more uniform appearance along the circumcision line
• Personal Confidence: Feeling more comfortable with how one looks, especially in intimate settings
• Partner Preference: Some individuals report pursuing the procedure based on a partner’s feedback or shared aesthetic goals

How Cosmetic Circumcision Is Performed

Cosmetic circumcision is typically done in a surgical clinic or hospital setting under local or general anesthesia. The procedure may take 30–60 minutes, depending on the complexity. Aftercare involves several weeks of healing, with restrictions on physical activity and sexual contact.

Because this is a highly specialized surgical revision, it must be performed by a provider with experience in adult male anatomy, cosmetic outcomes, and post-operative management. Urologists or cosmetic surgeons are usually the right professionals to handle these cases.

Why We Don’t Offer Cosmetic or Adult Circumcision

At My Home Circumcision, we are laser-focused on one thing: providing expert, in-home circumcision for newborns. Our procedures are typically performed within the first few weeks of life, in alignment with both medical guidelines and traditional Jewish practices.

Reasons We Do Not Perform Adult Circumcision:

1. Anatomical Differences: Adult circumcision requires different tools, techniques, and anesthetics than newborn procedures.
2. Clinical Environment Needed: Adults need a sterile, surgical-grade setting that cannot be replicated safely in a home.
3. Specialist Training Required: Adult circumcision—especially cosmetic revision—falls under the domain of urology or plastic surgery, not pediatric or ritual circumcision.
4. Ethical and Legal Boundaries: Our licensure, insurance, and practice standards apply strictly to infant procedures. Doing otherwise would be outside of scope.

Where We Refer Adult Patients

If you're an adult looking for cosmetic circumcision, we’re happy to refer you to a qualified urologist or surgical specialist in your area. These professionals can offer:

• Personalized consultations
• Realistic expectations
• Surgical precision
• Professional post-op care

We believe every patient deserves expert care tailored to their stage of life—and for adults, that means working with the right medical professional from the start.

What We DO Specialize In: In-Home Newborn Circumcision

While we don’t handle adult cases, My Home Circumcision is proud to be one of the leading providers of home-based newborn circumcision in the U.S.

Why families choose us:

• ✅ Over 3,000 procedures performed

Final Thoughts: Clarity Builds Confidence

At My Home Circumcision, we believe in clear boundaries, honest education, and safe, respectful care. While cosmetic circumcision has its place, that place is not in our practice—and that’s okay.

We focus exclusively on newborn circumcision, performed in a warm, familiar setting by trained professionals. For adults, the best outcomes come from those with the right surgical expertise and clinical resources. We’re happy to point you in the right direction if you’re unsure where to begin.
