Teen & Adult Circumcisions in our Western Sydney Practice

Teen & Adult Circumcisions

Adult & teenager circumcision is a safe and commonly performed procedure for men seeking improved comfort, health benefits, personal or cultural reasons.

While it is most commonly performed on newborn boys, we provide this option for adults and teenages who require the procedure later in life. We focus on patient care providing discreet, professional care in a supportive environment to ensure your comfort and confidence every step of the way.

Dr Sheen uses the Plastibell Technique, this technique has been used for many years and has been chosen because of its ease of use, fewer complications and requirement of local anaesthesia instead of general anaesthesia.

Teen and Adult Circumcision Procedure Details

On the day of the procedure, please arrive 30 minutes before the procedure. The patient will be unable to drive home, we ensure a support person is available for after the procedure. While the procedure is only 30 minutes; our pre and after procedure ensures the patient leaves feeling calm and comfortable.

Once the pre-procedure details and consultation have been completed and Dr Sheen is ready to perform the procedure, we ask the support person wait in our waiting room, or leave the practice.

During the procedure, the foreskin is carefully removed from the head of the penis. The edges are stitched with dissolvavle sutures. The entire procedure generally takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

Once the procedure is completed the patient will need to rest and will be given an ice pack, this is to decrease inflamation. Dr Sheen will take one final check before the patient leaves. In total you will be at the practice for a few hours.

After Procedure Care

Clear instructions regarding wound care and pain management are provided. Once you have left the practice and are home, check the circumcision, if you have any concerns please call the practice.

The next day, remove any dressings and shower as normal.

Return to the practice 5-7 days after the procedure for a follow up appointment.
