Foreskin Restoration
Foreskin restoration is the process of expanding the skin on the penis to mimic the functionality of the foreskin, which has been removed by circumcision or injury. Foreskin restoration is primarily accomplished through non-surgical methods by stretching the residual skin of the penis.
Foreskin restoration can be attempted for several reasons, among them being a desire to create the appearance of a natural foreskin covering the glans, or to increase sexual sensitivity of the glans and the interior of the restored foreskin, or to reduce discomfort due to exposure of sensitive areas during everyday activities. Foreskin restoration techniques are most commonly undertaken by men who have been circumcised.
Foreskin restoration is of ancient origin and dates back to the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when surgical means were taken to lengthen the foreskin of individuals with either a short foreskin that did not cover the glans completely or a completely exposed glans as a result of circumcision. In classical Greek and Roman societies, exposure of the glans was considered improper, and did not conform to the Hellenistic ideal of gymnastic nudity.
Non-surgical foreskin restoration, accomplished through tissue expansion, is the more commonly used method. Both the skin of the penile shaft and the mucosal inner lining of the foreskin, if any remains after circumcision, may be expanded. Tissue expansion has long been known to stimulate mitosis, and research shows that regenerated human tissues have the attributes of the original tissue. Unlike conventional skin expansion techniques, however, the process of nonsurgical foreskin restoration may take several years to complete. The time required depends on the amount of skin available to expand, the amount of skin desired in the end, and the regimen of stretching methods used.
The amount of time required to restore a foreskin using non-surgical methods depends on the amount of skin present at the start of the process, the subject’s degree of commitment, the techniques used, the body’s natural degree of plasticity, and the length of foreskin the individual desires.
