Circumcision

Circumcision by a doctor, from 7,900 THB: choose your line, with filler on the same day

Here, Dr. Kate performs the circumcision herself under local anaesthetic, hand-cut and hand-sutured, so the scar line goes where you choose. It takes 30–60 minutes. It suits men with a long or tight foreskin, and men who want their filler result to show more clearly.

Why men have a circumcision

Long or tight foreskin

Hard to retract, hard to clean, or often inflamed

Hygiene

Less residue and moisture collects under the foreskin

A better-looking filler result

Smooth, taut shaft skin shows the shape clearly, and the gel does not collect in the foreskin

Confidence

A neat look, the way you intended

What happens on circumcision day

Consultation and planningChoose a high or low line, how much skin to remove, and whether to keep the frenulum under the glans

Marking and preparationThe cutting line is marked, then the area is disinfected and draped

Local anaestheticA nerve block is injected at the base. No general anaesthesia. The first needle stings, then it goes numb.

Circumcision and bleeding controlExcess skin is removed along the line, and bleeding is stopped point by point

Dissolvable stitchesNeatly sutured with stitches that do not need removing, then dressed

Go homeYou get your medication and instructions. The whole thing takes about 30–60 minutes.

Circumcision and filler on the same day

Yes, if the doctor examines you and agrees. The upside is one recovery period. The downside is more swelling and a higher infection risk than doing them separately. The doctor explains both sides and you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does circumcision hurt?

Very little. The anaesthetic injection stings. During the circumcision most men feel nothing. Once the anaesthetic wears off there can be a tight ache, which painkillers handle.

How long does circumcision take to heal?

The wound heals well in 2–4 weeks. Back to normal life, including sex, in about 4–6 weeks, once the doctor has checked the wound and given the go-ahead.

Do the stitches need to be removed?

No. Dissolvable stitches are used. They come away on their own in 2–4 weeks.

Can circumcision be combined with filler?

Yes, if the doctor examines you and agrees. She goes through the pros and cons against doing them separately first.
