The outer foreskin is completely removed, as well as parts of the shaft skin. The inner foreskin is folded back and sewed to the shaft skin. The scar is located towards the body, hence the term "high". Unlike the high & tight style, the inner [[foreskin]] is less reduced, and lies in folds behind the [[Glans penis|glans]].

hence the term "high". Unlike the high & tight style, the inner [[foreskin]] is less reduced, and lies in folds behind the [[Glans penis|glans]].

There is enough remaining reserve skin to ensure a complete and unhindered erection. Of all variants, this one removes the smallest amount of sensitive tissue.

The inner [[foreskin]] is removed, the outer [[foreskin]] is sewed on below the [[Glans penis|glans]]. The scar is therefore located close to the [[Glans penis|glans]], hence the term "low". The outer [[foreskin]] lies in folds behind the [[Glans penis|glans]]. Enough skin is left in place to ensure a complete and unhindered erection.
