Can you get a partial circumcision?
While males can undergo a full or partial circumcision at any age, it’s typically easier and less risky to have circumcision in infancy. Some circumcisions only remove a portion of the foreskin. This type of procedure is called a partial circumcision.
What is an incomplete circumcision?
When not enough of the foreskin is removed during the original circumcision, it results in a condition known as redundant foreskin. It is also considered the outcome of an “incomplete circumcision.” When the penis is flaccid, the foreskin will still cover the glans, so the organ appears as if it is uncircumcised.

Does NHS cover circumcision?

Is it normal to have extra skin after circumcision?
re-circumcision When a child is circumcised, sometimes extra skin from the penis attaches to the head of the penis and attaches itself. This can occur because too much skin was left behind during the original circumcision (incomplete circumcision/extra foreskin).
How do you get rid of extra foreskin?
The doctor will make an incision just below the head of the penis and remove the whole foreskin with a scalpel or surgical scissors. They will then close the incision with dissolvable stitches that attach the skin of your penis to below the head. The stitches usually disappear within two to three weeks.
