Treatment Overview
Circumcision Revision Surgery in Korea is a corrective procedure designed to fix issues resulting from a previous circumcision. Many men seek revision surgery when their original circumcision caused uneven skin removal, excess foreskin, tightness, scarring, aesthetic irregularities, or functional discomfort. Korea is known for its precision-based approach, advanced microsurgical tools, and experienced urologic surgeons who perform high-quality circumcision corrections with excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes.
This procedure carefully reshapes the penile skin, removes excess tissue, corrects asymmetry, and restores both appearance and comfort. With Korea’s surgical expertise, men from around the world choose Seoul’s leading urology clinics for accurate, safe, and aesthetically pleasing revision results.
