Hey guys, I just saw info on a guy who underwent a surgery to try and replicate his rigged band. I know lots of you guys have seen it. It's on The DTR restore site. There were some pics from March of this year after undergoing another surgery to produce a thicker rigged band. It looks successful. He had lots of slack to work with and also had a v plasty surgery before the purse string to narrow his restored slack. I'm guessing the purse string surgery could done without the tapering surgery beforehand.... Sorry, I feel like I'm rambling. I'm just blown away by how successful it looked. I don't know if I could go through with something like that. The idea of surgery after gaining all that slack scares me a bit. Anyway, thanks for listening. Just some thoughts. Best wishes... Just looked again and it's www.foreskinrestore.com

The word is "ridged" band. Ridged ...it has ridges, like the potato chip. The guy who placed this word into more general use was Taylor, and he and his gang observed that this feature at the end of an intact foreskin is notable not for some mechanical action, or for its appearance (some can't be seen well at all), but for the fact that there is a dense supply of neurons in this tissue. So you gotta ask, how can anybody create a dense supply of neurons out of ...........nothing. You can't, not surgically, not in any way. You, we, all of us circ'd guys had a ridged band and now we don't, and we'll never get it back.Originally posted by Opto-mystic View Post
I know some guys think the ridged band has a mechanical function, but it doesn't. So why would it be important to have some pseudo band just for the appearance, assuming you had one created artificially.
What is shown is wrinkled skin. I'm finished, and when I look at the "end" of my rolled down tube I see.........wrinkles, in many situations, just like that photo. That also doesn't make it a ridged band, just wrinkled shaft skin.
And I also have to say, nobody needs to have a V plasty done. The skin you eventually grow will neck down at the "end" if you grow enough of it to lie beyond the glans tip. -
Opto-Mystic, I share your feeling about surgery on an already negatively affected penis; it is scary. No way I'd feel rushed enough to do it. All the risks that surgery can bring, not to mention possible failure of the desired effect, for a feature (a narrowing at the tube "end"), which will happen eventually anyhow, mostly as a function of the dartos sheath. I don't want to hijack this thread, but I think your post is a good chance to revisit what WoodyHoody said in another thread, about coronal flare.
WoodyHoody (bless your heart) referred to a specific phenomenon of expanded skin that rarely gets mentioned on forums. I'll paraphrase what he said by saying this:
What was bane (a flared corona, acting as a barrier in the way of roll over onto the glans surface) becomes a boon, certainly when you have enough shaft skin to lie relaxed, past the corona. I saw this happen as well. Your corona can act as a 'keeper' to stop spontaneous roll-back, especially if your glans has been covered for enough time to allow moisture to appear, and cause surface tension (stickiness) between the surface of the glans and the skin tube. I saw this roughly 2/3 of the way to finishing, even before I had enough to lie completely relaxed on the glans.
So for this reason as well, a V-plasty just isn't needed. I know that over the years there have comment after comment about "loose sock" skin tubes, but I never saw that, and shaft skin doesn't grow that way anyhow. I'll quote another member of the old forum and say, just tug, and you'll get everything that is possible for you, which is really everything that you want.Comment

I've just recently done the purse string touch up to my penis. It is working out well. I am still healing. I've been writing about the healing in my progress gallery. It is working out well for what I am trying to accomplish and my specific goals.Originally posted by Opto-mystic View PostView My Progress Gallery @ https://foreskinrestoration.vbulleti...ooded-progressComment

Can the purse string surgery stop the head from poking out? Is it to keep the glans covered 24/7? Is the procedure permanent? When I say permanent I mean will an erection mess it upComment

I think thats the intention King1804, but im guessing like everything else, its different for everyone. The pics i saw, were of full errect coverage after two surgeries.Comment

Ideally, your dick would look like a natural uncircumcised penis after restoration, which normally keeps the head of the penis covered 24/7 when flaccid.Originally posted by King1804 View Post
Erect coverage varies widely but generally the head of an uncircumcised penis would be exposed to some degree. It all depends on how much overhang you have; less overhang -- less coverage, more overhang, more coverage.
Take a look at the following link to see what an uncircumcised penis -- both flaccid and erect -- looks like in all its many variations: http://erikforeskin.tumblr.com/Comment

I hope it doesn't get loose over time. I'm thinking about getting that purse string surgery done. What doctor do I call a plastic surgeon or urologist? Or if anyone knows a doctor on the east coast let me know I'm not going to norwayComment

AKA has a video up retracting his foreskin after the touch up PURSE STRING surgery check it outComment

You can contact Dr. Ira Sharlip at UCSF in San Francisco. He has a position at UCSF and a private office. The proceure is not covered by medical insurance because it's elective and would be done in his private office. Just Google his name to find his office address/phonenumber.Originally posted by King1804 View Post
He has experience doing some foreskin restorations using the lateral slit procedure (make a lateral cut on top and bottom of the penile shaft and then pull the skin longitudinally to lengthen the foreskin) but has NO experience doing the purse string procedure.
I spoke w/him around 1 1/2 years ago and he was willing to "try" doing it but would give no guarantees for the result. I gave him the link to AKA's medical history (including the physician's notes" regarding the procedure. Estimated cost was $5k.Comment

Yeah I saw his YouTube video your right he doesn't do purse string I'm gonna keep looking for a doctor it's really a simple procedure just not common for foreskin there's a doctor in Miami dr reed but you have to pay to even talk about the purse string and then he'll try to get you to do the surgical foreskin restoration saying if he do the purse string it might be too tight but when you pay the consultant fee hell go into it further I most important question is is it permanent or over time will it need to be done again
