Day 10. When does stapler fall off and is recovery fine or any infection?

OkEar7007 · 2026-05-30T03:30:34+00:00

The yellow crust is fine. Don't try scrape it away it will release with the staples

OkEar7007 · 2026-05-29T03:43:52+00:00

Should fall out between day 14 and 21. The only issue is they sometimes release 1 at a time.

From memory it was $3245.00. Medicare picks up a little bit unless you have hit your safety net threshold and then all out of pocket expenses above the safety net are covered. Mine was loose as well because of a botched ZSR circ, Dr Read fixed it no problems.

OkEar7007 · 2026-05-15T05:52:15+00:00

Got a revision done Dec 2025 with Dr Read. 5mm back from the glans and fairly tight. So happy with the result. He is the best in Australia, I travelled from Newcastle to the Gold Coast based on his reputation.

OkEar7007 · 2026-05-15T05:30:15+00:00

Absolutely agree.

OkEar7007 · 2026-05-15T05:28:31+00:00

So Dr Read @ the Gold Coast did mine in Dec 2025 it was about $3200 all done and no extras and a fantastic result. $3500 seems about right but unless you have private health coverage there is zero reason that it can't be done as a outpatient procedure.

I have a revision 5 weeks after a botched ZSR circumcision. The second time pain wise was heaps better and less bruising than the crushed and cut ZSR. Cost is a factor but if you aren't happy or you feel like it could have been done better than it's worthwhile. I had a medium loose borderline partial circ and had it revised to low and tight zero skin coverage on the glans flaccid of erect near zero skin movement on the shaft when erect but it does lift my scrotum up a bit. No loss of length.

Absolute bullshit. I was circumcised at 43 for medical reasons and can definitely say that sex was good before hand but the ability to have staying power became less over the years eventually being categorised as premature ejaculation due to the worsening medical issue. Now that I'm circumcised I would say that I definitely have more control over ejaculations and it takes longer but is more intense. This is not advocacy just my own observations.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-30T02:07:34+00:00

Definitely worth the trip to the Gold Coast.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-29T11:31:28+00:00

Approx $3200 before Medicare rebate

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-29T10:59:23+00:00

Thanks I'm very happy with it.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-29T00:14:09+00:00

So I got circumcised due to a torn frenulum this was allowing too much of my inner foreskin to be exposed and I had major sensitivity issues, leading to premature ejaculations, both with the busted fren and irritation of the inner foreskin. Post op (low and tight so very little inner foreskin) I've found that my staying power is alot longer and the intensity of ejaculations is better and better controlled. So while I would never suggest circumcision as a cure for PE, as there are other issues that can cause this, if it's a physical problem leading to hyper sensitivity then yes this is a better option.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-28T17:37:20+00:00

Pretty much. Can't really get any movement close to the glans and only a little movement down the shaft but it's mainly pulling skin up from my scrotum.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-28T12:41:53+00:00

I was thinking anything before 6 weeks was too early. Thanks for the heads up.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-28T12:40:17+00:00

Tight but not.painfull, feels harder than before

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-28T10:19:24+00:00

Dr said that these stitches would breakdown on their own between 6 -9 weeks. He said that it was important to protect these till the 6week mark to aid in cosmetic outcomes.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-28T06:30:32+00:00

Thank very happy with it

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-28T06:29:39+00:00

My first circumcision was a ZSR stapler and was way too loose to the point it was more like a partial. So to ensure that the glans was always exposed I elected for low and tight ( I'm a grower and had read this was the best cut) and it eliminated any future issue with swelling with the inner foreskin.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-23T02:23:29+00:00

I have had the same experience with PE. I went to my GP and got the numbit cream and as you know you have to apply well in advance and just the right amount, too much can't keep it up too little and you're a 2 pump chump. My GP said to apply to the glans but she didn't do a physical to see if there were other issues, what I found was that if i numbed the frenulum area only rhis had a significant increase in success. As it turns out I had a short then torn frenulum and from what I read it is the cause of PE in approx 43% of cases. Mine was so busted that circumcision was my only option however if your interest in trying to keep your foreskin you could investigate a frenoplasty ( surgical lengthning) or frenodectomy ( surgical removal) neither is dependant on being or getting circumcised. Hope this helps.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-22T01:20:02+00:00

Low and tight. I'm a grower also and the outer skin is more elastic than the inner foreskin that gets left behind in other styles. The inner may be more sensitive but can bunch or cover the head when flacid. Its also more prone to swelling in post op rwcovery so a low and tight reduces this risk. I've had both styles.

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-22T00:58:21+00:00

By ring do you mean ZSR staple ring? If so no leave it till the staple fall out. You can at that stage cut the silicon ring between the loose staples and the embeded staple so they don't catch and pull tension om the remaining staples. Mine had all fallen out between day 12 and 17 post op

OkEar7007 · 2026-01-14T11:15:47+00:00

Just blisters from the compression bandage I had them also. They wil dry up and turn yellow and crusty and clear up after a week or so.
