Suture-Free Methods Built Around the Best Possible Outcome
Circumcision in the UK is too often still done the old way - in hospital, under general anaesthetic, with stitches and a long recovery. We don't work like that. We offer two refined, minimally invasive techniques under local anaesthetic, with no hospital stay and no overnight. Both are suture-free and designed around precision, a clean cosmetic result, and a faster, more comfortable recovery. We'll help you choose the right one for you at your consultation.
- The Pollock Technique™
- UK-exclusive technique, used by experts worldwide
- Suture-free, skin-glue finish
- Class-leading pain protocol - expect mild discomfort, not pain
- The Shang Ring
- Designed for the best aesthetic result
- Suture-free and virtually bloodless
- Rarely offered in the UK - globally proven
You've Got a Concern. We've Got the Answer.
A lot of the men we see have already been around the houses - a chat with the GP, maybe a couple of doctors, and not much to show for it except more uncertainty. We do one thing, we do it to a very high standard, and we make it straightforward. Our surgeons come from plastics and surgical backgrounds and specialise in this procedure specifically, so you're not explaining yourself to someone who handles it once in a blue moon. As a CQC-regulated provider, we hold ourselves to the highest standard of care for outpatient procedures in the UK. From your first consultation to fully healed, we're your partners in this - and that's the part our patients tell us makes the difference.
Genuine Expertise
Specialist surgeons with plastics and surgical training who focus on this procedure - not a clinic that does a bit of everything.
Total Discretion
Private, confidential consultations from your first enquiry onwards. This is between you and us.
Seen When You Need To Be
No referrals, no waiting lists. Same-week and often same-day appointments available.
Less Daunting Than You'd Think - and We're With You the Whole Way
The thing most men are quietly worried about is pain. Here's the honest version: with our techniques and anaesthetic, you should expect mild discomfort, not pain. If you work a desk job, most men are back at it within a couple of days - a bit wobbly, maybe, but back to normal life quickly. Take a few days to relax, follow our simple aftercare, and you'll heal well. And we don't disappear once you leave: follow-up care through your recovery is included, and if you need to see us, that's free. We're not going to drag you back in three or four times unnecessarily - but if something's on your mind at any point, we're easy to reach.
- Recovery-at-a-glance row:
- Mild discomfort, not pain
- Back to a desk job in ~2 days
- Suture-free healing
- Free follow-up care, when you need it

I honestly cannot recommend this clinic enough. My child recently had his circumcision here, and from the moment we walked through the doors, I felt completely reassured that I had made the right decision. Before choosing this clinic, I visited several others, but none of them gave me the same feeling of comfort and confidence. The team here were incredibly professional, welcoming and accommodating. They took the time to answer every question I had, no matter how small, and explained everything to me in such detail. As a parent, this meant so much to me because I never felt rushed or made to feel like I was asking too many questions. What really stood out was how confident and knowledgeable the staff were. You could tell they genuinely knew what they were doing, but at the same time, they were kind, patient and understanding. They made the whole experience feel much less daunting than I had imagined. The clinic itself was also completely different from anywhere else I had visited. It was calm, clean and welcoming, which created such a reassuring environment for both my child and me. Everything they did felt centred around the patient, and I could genuinely see that my child's comfort and wellbeing were their priority. I am especially grateful for the support they offered beyond the procedure itself. They made it clear that they were there to support us afterwards too, not simply until we left the clinic or until a follow-up appointment. Knowing that I could reach out if I had any concerns gave me so much peace of mind. As a parent, you naturally want the very best for your child, and choosing someone to carry out a procedure like this can feel like a huge decision. I am so glad I chose Gentle Procedures. I genuinely felt listened to, respected and cared for throughout the whole experience. I would recommend this clinic to every parent and honestly to every person I meet who is considering circumcision. I have never felt this level of confidence and reassurance with any other healthcare provider. A huge thank you to everyone at Gentle Procedures. You are truly amazing, and I am so grateful for the care you gave my child and the reassurance you gave me as a parent. ❤️Posted on Google![]()

We have had an excellent, professional and calming experience at TGP clinic today. Being nervous parents we felt ever so calm during the process. The discussion during and post procedure was extremely clear. We were provided with postcare items and were talked through it all. It was that good we ended up chatting away in the reception forgetting our appointment was completed.Thank you ever so much for a safe procedure. Will 100% recommend.Posted on Google![]()

I had an excellent experience with Gentle Procedures Solihull for my young son’s circumcision. Dr Yemi Idowu, Dr Tayo Idowu and Karen were highly professional, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout. Emma Fitzsimmons and Bryce were also incredibly kind, helpful and supportive. The procedure and aftercare were handled with great care, and I felt that my son’s safety and wellbeing were always the priority. I am very grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend Gentle Procedures Solihull to other parents. Dr EnangPosted on Google![]()

Adult Circumcision UK:
Quick Answers to Your Questions
Is circumcision in adults painful?
Honestly, far less than most men fear. We use an advanced long-acting local anaesthetic and minimally invasive, suture-free techniques, so the plan is no pain during the procedure and only mild discomfort during recovery. Clear aftercare keeps it manageable.
Can you get circumcised as an adult?
Yes. Circumcision is a safe and well-established procedure for adult men of all ages. There is no upper age limit, and the procedure is commonly performed for medical, personal, hygiene, or cultural reasons. At Gentle Procedures UK, we carry out adult circumcision under local anaesthetic with no hospital admission and no general anaesthetic required. A consultation is recommended first to discuss your individual circumstances and confirm the right approach.
Is adult circumcision a major surgery?
No. Adult circumcision at Gentle Procedures UK is a minor outpatient procedure, not major surgery. It is performed under local anaesthetic in a private clinic setting, takes under ten minutes, and requires no hospital admission or overnight stay. There is no general anaesthetic involved. While all surgical procedures carry some level of risk, adult circumcision using the Pollock Technique™ has a well-established safety profile with low complication rates when performed by trained specialists.
What to expect after adult circumcision?
In the first 24 to 48 hours, mild swelling, redness, and sensitivity at the site are normal and expected. Most men find these symptoms begin to settle within the first few days. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided before you leave the clinic, covering wound care, hygiene, clothing recommendations, and activity restrictions. You receive a direct contact number so our team is reachable throughout your recovery. Most men return to desk work within one to two days, with full activity including sexual activity resuming after four to six weeks.
Does circumcision affect length in adults?
No. Circumcision removes the foreskin only and does not affect the length of the penis. The procedure involves removing the fold of skin that covers the glans; the underlying tissue and penile structure are not altered. This is a commonly asked question, and our doctors are happy to discuss any concerns during your consultation so you feel fully informed before proceeding.
Why choose Gentle Procedures over other providers?
We're CQC-regulated, run by specialist surgeons with plastics backgrounds, and we offer two modern suture-free techniques - including the Pollock Technique, which we're the only UK provider of. Some clinics still use stitches or staples; our approach is suture-free, virtually bloodless, and built around the best result and the easiest recovery.
What are the benefits of circumcision for adults?
The benefits vary depending on the reason for the procedure. For medical reasons, circumcision can relieve chronic discomfort from phimosis, resolve recurring infections, and improve functional and sexual comfort. For personal or hygiene reasons, many men report easier daily care and greater confidence. Cosmetically, the Pollock Technique™ delivers a clean and consistent result. It is important to have realistic expectations, and our doctors discuss expected outcomes honestly during consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
How much does circumcision for adults in the UK cost?
At Gentle Procedures UK, adult circumcision is priced at £1,800, all-inclusive. This covers the consultation, procedure, aftercare guidance, and follow-up. A consultation-only appointment is available for £195. Revision circumcision starts from £2,000. There are no hidden fees, and all pricing is published transparently on our website. Pricing across the UK for adult circumcision varies between providers, but our all-inclusive fee structure means there are no unexpected additional charges.
I think I have a medical problem - is that a valid reason?
Almost certainly, yes. Conditions like phimosis (a tight foreskin), a tight frenulum (sometimes called a "tight banjo string"), recurrent infections, or discomfort during intimacy are all common, valid reasons men come to us - and we've seen them many times. You don't have to put up with it, and you don't need to feel apprehensive about sorting it out. Book a consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether circumcision is the right solution for you.
Can I have an adult circumcision for purely cosmetic reasons?
That's a completely valid choice too, and a large part of what we do. Both our techniques are suture-free and designed for a clean, symmetrical, natural-looking result.
What does recovery involve?
Expect mild discomfort rather than pain. With our Pollock Technique, most men with desk jobs are back to work within a couple of days. Follow-up care is included, and seeing us during recovery is free if you need it.
