Adult circumcision is a surgical procedure for men that removes the foreskin covering the head of the penis. While commonly performed in infancy, circumcision can also be safely performed in adulthood. This procedure may be recommended for:
- Phimosis (tight foreskin that cannot be retracted)
- Recurrent infections or inflammation (balanitis or balanoposthitis)
- Hygiene difficulties
- Personal, cultural, or aesthetic preferences
Adult circumcision in Las Vegas is a definitive solution for many foreskin-related conditions.
How the Procedure Is Performed
During adult circumcision surgery at AESTHETIC REVOLUTION LAS VEGAS, the foreskin is carefully measured and removed using a CO2 laser. The proximal skin is sutured to create a clean, natural contour. The procedure typically includes:
- Measuring and marking the foreskin with the shaft flaccid and on stretch to ensure sufficient skin is both removed and remains to allow full erection
- Numbing the penis with a topical anesthetic and then a mix of rapid and long-lasting anesthetics
- Removal of excess foreskin and any lesions, tethers and skin bridges with the CO2 laser to minimize bleeding and discomfort
- Control of bleeding and precise tissue handling
- Closure with dissolvable sutures
- Applying a non-stick compression dressing
Techniques are selected to optimize healing, comfort, and cosmetic outcome.
Procedure Details:
- Duration: 45–60 minutes
- Anesthesia: Topical and local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia if desired
