With our combination of local anaesthetic, our quick surgical technique, and our use of skin glue (with the Pollock method), we provide a convenient and comfortable adult circumcision procedure.
Skin glue closure generally eliminates the need for stitches, increasing comfort, speeding healing, and offering good cosmetic circumcision results.
We offer circumcision for cosmetic, cultural, and personal reasons only. Men seeking circumcision due to medical concerns, such as a pain or discomfort retracting the foreskin, should contact their family doctor.
We are proud to be the first Toronto circumcision clinic to offer Shang Ring circumcision for men.

There are a number of reasons why men may choose to get circumcised at an adult age, including religious, cosmetic and personal reasons. Whatever the reason for your choice to have circumcision later in life, we will be pleased to consult with you and schedule a surgery at your convenience.
With the Pollock Technique™ skin glue closure method, in addition to the standard suture technique, we are able to generally obtain a good cosmetic outcome without the typical multiple suture track marks in the skin.
Adult circumcision procedures in our clinic can offer good results with minimal discomfort.
Shang Ring procedures require no sutures or dressing changes. Shang Ring is quick, virtually painless and bloodless procedure also providing a suture-less circumcision without track marks.

Appointments are generally available within a short time and no referral is required.
In the province of Ontario, the public health insurance program – OHIP – covers adult circumcision only in cases where the procedure can be classified as medically necessary for the man. This means that adult circumcisions performed at our east GTA adult circumcision clinic are paid for directly by the patient.
If you would like more detail on adult circumcision costs, please use the Circumcision Cost Confirmation form to send us your inquiry and we will reply fast with the detail you require.
We are often asked; “Am I too old to get circumcised?” and the answer is pretty much always “no”. Men of all ages have the surgery in our adult circumcision clinic.
You can also find additional information regarding circumcision for babies.
The most common age range for adult circumcision is 18 – 40 years old, but the procedure is regularly performed on a larger age range as requested for medical and personal reasons. The medical team at our clinic are experts at circumcising men of all ages, and we have collectively performed over 100,000 circumcision procedures in our affiliated clinics across Canada and worldwide.
Our team and our internal procedures are optimized to deliver care to men requiring circumcision.
We perform two methods of circumcision – mogen clamp circumcision using the Pollock Technique™and Shang Ring circumcision. Both provide equally good cosmetic results.
With either method, you will receive detailed written instructions for post-surgery care as well as consult one-on-one with the doctor. Healing times are relatively the same.
Our doctor will consult with you to determine which procedure will be best for you.
Our team is available after surgery as required to answer your questions and to react quickly should there ever be any problems.
The Pollock Technique™ can be applied for circumcision of babies, and men of all ages, and consists of using a Mogen clamp under long-acting local anaesthetic.
Only local anaesthetic is needed and recovery time is relatively fast.
With our skin glue closure method, in addition to the standard suture technique, we are able to obtain an improved cosmetic outcome without the typical multiple suture track marks in the skin.
Adult circumcision procedures with the Pollock Technique™ can offer optimal results with limited discomfort.

Shang Ring device in place
The Shang Ring consists of two concentric medical grade plastic rings: an inner ring with a silicone band and an outer, hinged ring that acts as a ligature. The Shang Ring is removed after one week.
The advantages of the Shang Ring procedure may be benefits in your case, or our doctor may recommend Pollock Technique™ circumcision. In either case your procedure will be performed by an experienced doctor with a close follow-up post procedure.
Our doctor will evaluate your case and determine which adult circumcision method is best in your situation. Both of our techniques can deliver a good result, and the decision will be made based on our physician’s experience and professional judgement.
Some patients have a preference but given that the end result is the same the recommended approach is to let the doctor decide the circumcision technique most applicable to your procedure.

Or For Any Questions
The morning of your circumcision we recommend that you avoid coffee and other caffeinated beverages or stimulants. It is best if you are both physically and mentally calm. Bring your headphones and listen to your favourite relaxing music on your phone or other small music player during the surgery.
Your penis may swell in the first 2 days. It is generally not very painful, and over-the-counter pain relievers are all you usually need.
You will have a dressing over the head of your penis. Please follow the doctor’s directions about when to remove it. Wear snug fitting underwear that will hold the penis upright. This will help the swelling go down.
You can return to work and your normal routine when you feel ready to. Most men return to sedentary work within a week after circumcision. You may need to wait longer before returning to physical work.
A detailed care sheet will be provided with specific instructions to follow after your operation. The information on this page gives you a general idea about how long it will take for you to recover, but each person recovers at a different pace. Follow the care instructions to heal as fast as possible.
Dr. Nguyen will address your specific case and your detailed questions.
