Dr Wong personally perform all circumcision procedures himself in our clinic. He has many years experience with this type of surgery. According to our practice data, he has performed over 1300 circumcisions (over all age groups) since 2015.
The optimal time to perform circumcision for your baby boy is between 4 weeks to 12 weeks after birth.
Parents will be given anaesthetic (numbing) cream at the time of booking, so this can be applied to the penis 1-2 hours prior to the procedure.
Dr. Wong is experienced with all different methods of performing newborn circumcision including plastibell circumcision or surgical excision method. He will customise the surgery based on the anatomy and needs of your boy.
There are pros and cons with each method and they should be discussed prior during the consultation.
If a plastic device is used, the plastic device will detach with the redundant foreskin in 7-14 days. Aftercare follow up consultation in 1 week.
If you have any issues, we will provide you with after hours number to call for advice.
