Yes, circumcision is generally a safe procedure for newborns when performed by experienced medical professionals. While there are potential risks, like with any surgery, complications are rare.

The ideal age for baby circumcision is between 3 days and eight weeks old. During this time, newborns heal quickly, and the procedure is often straightforward.

Healing time varies, but most babies heal fully within 7-14 days. The ring used in some methods typically falls off within ten days.

Babies usually experience some discomfort after circumcision. The effect of the numbing injection may last a few hours, and the doctor will advise you on pain relief after the baby’s circumcision.

Our doctors, who are child urologists/surgeons, are experienced in all methods. They prefer Circumplast Circumcisions over Plastibell because of the lower complication of the Circumplast device.

Yes, circumcision is fairly common in London, especially for religious, cultural, or personal reasons. While the NHS doesn’t offer non-medical circumcisions, private clinics like ours provide safe, expert procedures for all age groups.

We recommend circumcision for newborns between 3 days and 8 weeks old, as healing tends to be quicker. However, we also offer safe procedures for older children, teenagers, and adults, tailored to each individual case.

We use a range of advanced methods including Circumplast, glue (Derma+flex), ZSR stapler, stitches, and freehand techniques. For newborns, we offer Plastibell, Mogen Clamp, and Gomco Clamp based on individual suitability.

All circumcisions are performed under local anaesthetic to ensure the procedure is pain-free. For older boys and adults, we also offer needle-free anaesthesia (at an additional cost) for those with needle phobia.

Yes, we provide revision or “tidying up” circumcisions to correct issues from previous procedures, such as excess skin, uneven scars, or skin bridges.

We include free follow-up care for up to four weeks. You’ll also have access to 24-hour telephone support, and Dr. Khan is available directly for any post-procedure concerns.

Yes, we provide video consultations for £150, offering an alternative to in-person visits and second opinions for patients who may not be able to attend in person.

The Forceps-Guided Method refers to the surgical removal of the foreskin with the guidance of special forceps.

The cost of the procedure starts from £580 for circumcision with stitches, £660 with glue and £750 with CircCurer, a stapler device.

You don’t need to come for a separate consultation, as you will attend the clinic on the same day for your consultation and surgery.

Local anaesthesia will be used, and the patient will remain awake during the procedure. You can go home or drive after the circumcision.

Although risks and side effects are rare, they may occur, including bleeding, infection, altered sensations, or the need for a redo.

You can expect discomfort for a few days after the procedure, but it can be managed with painkillers. Swelling and bruising of the penis are expected for a few days after the procedure.

You don’t usually need a follow-up appointment after circumcision unless the surgeon feels it’s necessary. We are happy to see you after the operation if indicated.
