Is there a way to control thickness????

[RideTheSpiral]

I have been browsing the progress galleries and I am noticing the differences in appearance of peoples restored foreskins. Some people get a pretty thin and more natural looking foresking while others get a super thick one. I dont want to offend anyone because everyone has work so hard but I am just not a fan of the thicker foreskins and dont think it looks as natural as it could. I have noticed it in both DTR and TLC users to i dont think the device has anything to do with it.

I would really like to get mine as thin as i can so i am wondering if anyone knows of anything i can do to imporve my odds. things like the position of the device on the penis or focus on inner/outer skin? I am guessing its probably kind of a crap shoot but i figure i would ask.

Thanks!

I do not think restoration has any effect on the skin's thickness, so there is nothing we can do. It is genetics.

However, some things can effect the apparent thickness. Most importantly, the stress of restoration causes some swelling. this is temporary, but can effect the appearance for perhaps months, even a year.

Second, the new foreskin may take some time to adapt to its new role. Many experienced restorers report that it can take over a year for the new forerskin to "normalize" and achieve its final form and function.

Third, if you choose to restore in a way that leaves outer skin folded under and inside your foreskin tube, ie your scar ends up hidden inside your foreskin tube when flaccid, it could result in an apparently thicker foreskin. There are two assumptions to this, first is the assumption that outer skin is thicker than inner, and second that the outer skin will remain thicker. However, some report outer skin on the inisde becoming indistinguishable from their inner skin over time, say a year or so.

Only way to know how yours will come out? Restore and see.

If you dont like the end result, you could always be circumcised again

Let us distinguish between

A) thick shaft skin repurposed to serve as the flaccid roll-over point. (would give a puffy thick-skin look to the pucker)

and

B) a baggy restoration result.

I think the most natural-looking puckered result will follow from paying special attention to a carefully determined Future Flaccid Roll-over Point while tugging http://foreskin-restoration.net/foru...2&postcount=44.
