[[Foreskin restoration]] is achieved by the principle of [[tissue expansion]], which consists on applying tension to areas of tissue in order to stimulate cellular [[mitosis]]. Sustained tension over periods of time, repeated daily for a long period of time, results in permanent enlargement of the existing tissue.
Foreskin restoration uses different methods to induce tension on the existing penile [[penile skin]] and [[preputial mucosa| mucosa]], in order to enlarge those areas, to obtain tissue that looks like and in some ways behaves just like a real [[foreskin]].
Foreskin restoration cannot restore those areas that were completely removed by circumcision, such as the [[ridged band]] or the [[frenulum]] (in the cases where it was removed completely).
== Regimen ==
Each method and each device places different kind of stress on the [[penile skin|penile tissue]]. A common principle is to avoid pain. The stronger the tension, the less time it should be applied.

===Newest coverage index===
The latest and most complete example is the [https://foreskinrestoration.men/foreskin-restoration-coverage-index/ ADI Coverage Index] (2020). The index depicts a range of penises in both the flaccid and erect state from 0 to 10, with 0 being the tightest [[circumcision]] and 10 the longest [[foreskin]]. Men undergoing foreskin restoration can chart their progress using the coverage index (CI).
=== FEC - forced erect coverage ===
Photographs should be taken periodically. Once restoration is undergoing, the penis may look different depending on temperature, clothing, position, etc, so it is important to seek similar conditions for the photographic record. For consistency, it is recommended to take the photographs under similar conditions (same time of the day, 30 minutes after a warm shower, same place, camera in same location, similar light conditions).
== How much foreskin to create ==
Natural foreskins come in wide variety of lengths. The overwhelming majority of [[circumcised]] men were circumcised in the newborn period, so they have no information on the nature and length of their natural [[foreskin]]. The longer one tugs the more [[tissue expansion]] will occur and more foreskin will be produced. As the residual shaft skin lengthens the [[circumcision scar]] will migrate toward the tip of the new foreskin. Eventually it will move inside the new foreskin if tissue expansion continues. This will result in improved appearance. A luxuriant [[acroposthion]] can possess great beauty.
Many functions of the foreskin work better when the foreskin is longer than when it is shorter. Functions include:
* Protection of the glans penis from [[trauma]].
* Moisturizing of the [[glans penis]].<ref name="ofarrell2008">{{REFjournal

More foreskin takes more tugging, so each restoring man must choose how long he wants his [[foreskin]] to be and how long he wants to engage in [[foreskin restoration]].
