Tight Foreskin as an Uncircumsied Male - Teenage Years to Adulthood

This is my experience of going through an adult circumcision at the age of 27 years old. I've been uncircumcised since birth and didn't fully retract my foreskin til I was about 23. In my teens and up until then, it seemed impossible to retract my foreskin. I realized by age 21 that I must either get circumcised or figure out a way to stretch my foreskin. I saw a urologist and started using topical creams because circumcision seemed too extreme and painful. I kept slowly stretching during the shower and thru having sex (which was a bit painful because of the tight foreskin). I was finally able to retract my foreskin when flaccid fairly easily, but very tight when erect. It would roll past back the head when having sex but it felt like a tight grip on my penis head and it would cause me to lose my erection at times, unless I was super stimulated. My head was also very sensitive from not being exposed most of the time and felt uncomfortable to dry touch.

It didn't seem like it'd stretch anymore & my head didn't seem like it'd desensitize where it'd only feel good anymore. Sex just became difficult and kind of painful so I really wanted to remedy the problem immediately. It was making my sex life not too enjoyable and it prevented me from having fulfilling relationships.

I've read a lot of people's positive experiences in similar situations that got circumcised which ended up making the penis a much more enjoyable part of the body. After 6 years of considering going through this procedure, I finally decided to get a circumcision.

Figuring out who the best doctor for adult circumcision

Choosing the right surgeon was a tough choice. I didn't want to see a urologist because they don't pay attention to the cosmetic appearance, won't ask you about style, and just circumcise you as they medically see fit. This could leave an uneven scar and not so great cosmetic appearance. The next option was a Cosmetic Surgeon or a Genital Reconstructive Surgeon (cosmetic surgeons of genitalia - male & female).

I debated between Dr.Cornell in Atlanta or Dr.Reed in Florida. Both of these professionals are Urologists that heavily market online on providing cosmetic circumcisions. They've performed a lot of these procedures. I decided to see Dr. Reed because he was more open to communicate and explain things over e-mail, whereas Cornell was not so friendly or helpful providing more info over e-mail.
Both have good reviews and no real bad comments but I am sure there are unhappy outcomes for some people that see them as well.

You should read their bio's and read info about each before you make your decision. Dr.Cornell is about 56, Dr. Reed is 70. I have no idea which surgeon is better and if you're considering circumcision, you should research who you see, understand their credentials, read their reviews & biography, and talk to them. You need to feel comfortable and confident with the surgeon who performs the surgery. It was a very important part of the process for me at least. However, I am also quite positive other skilled genital reconstructive surgeons around the country would do just fine as well. Circumcision is a very routine procedure for them.
