Doctor-performed circumcision

Circumcision in Bangkok by a Doctor: Choose Your Incision Line, with Filler on the Same Day

Dr. Kate performs circumcision herself under local anaesthetic, using a cut-and-sew technique for a neat, precisely placed scar line. It suits men with a long or tight foreskin, as well as those who want their filler result to look better.

Why men choose circumcision

Long or tight foreskin

Difficult to retract, hard to clean, or frequently inflamed

Hygiene

Reduces build-up of residue and moisture under the foreskin

A better-looking filler result

Smooth, taut shaft skin shows the shape clearly and reduces the risk of filler migrating into the foreskin

Confidence

A neat appearance, the way you want it

This is possible if the doctor considers it suitable. The benefit is a single recovery period, but swelling and infection risk may be higher than doing them separately. The doctor will always explain the details and let you choose first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does circumcision hurt?

Local anaesthetic is used, so most men feel little or no pain during the procedure. There may be mild pain once the anaesthetic wears off, which can be managed with painkillers.

How long does circumcision take to heal?

The wound usually heals in about 2–4 weeks, and most men return to normal activities in about 4–6 weeks, as advised by the doctor.

Do the stitches need to be removed?

No. Dissolvable stitches are used, which dissolve on their own within a few weeks.

Can circumcision be combined with filler?

Yes, if the doctor considers it suitable. The doctor will explain the benefits and risks compared with doing them separately before you decide.
