foreskin
I’m 15 and I was circumcised really young about 3-4 (for medical reasons) but what I was wanting to know if this is the right place to ask is I’ve seen online occasionally that some people can get foreskin repaird or something like that but I want to know does it work and how old you need to be to get it done

Re: foreskin
Hi Jack!
Thanks for coming through and trusting us with this question. I don't know that much about 'foreskin repair' and not sure what it entails, but cosmetic surgery in the UK is something you can consent to at 16. That said, any surgery that isn't medically necessary is likely to cost a lot.
Can I ask what makes you want to get surgery and if there are any feelings you have around having been circumcised we can talk about?
It might be there are things other than surgery that can help you with whatever you're going through.
