Creators normally fall into two categories. The first category consists of men who were involuntarily received a non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] as an infant or small child. The second category consists of men who voluntarily granted consent as an adult for [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| adolescent or adult circumcision]], but now regret their decision.

Goodwin (1990) described a procedure in which the shaft skin of the penis is advanced forward and scrotal skin is used to cover the defect so that the foreskin is made up of shaft skin with scrotal skin replacing it on the shaft of the penis.<ref>{{REFjournal

Dr. [[Paul Tinari]] was operated on by by Dr. Robert H. Stubbs of Montreal who used the scrotal skin to replace the shaft skin which was pulled forward to create a foreskin in a manner that appears to be similar to that of Dr. Goodwin.<ref>{{REFjournal

A combination of shaft skin plus scrotal skin was used in all reported cases to create a surgically restored foreskin.

==Non-surgically restored foreskin==
 
On the shaft of the [[circumcised]] [[penis]], one finds the [[circumcision scar]] at a midway point on the shaft. From the scar to the abdominal wall, one finds residual penile [[shaft skin]]. From the scar to the [[glans penis]] one finds residual [[Preputial mucosa| preputial mucosal]] foreskin tissue, usually in a desiccated condition. Application of traction, either manually or by the aid of a commercial device sold for the purpose, is used to cause longitudinal [[tissue expansion]].

The circumcision scar will migrate toward the tip of the penis as the residual shaft skin expands. In some cases it will turn inside the new restored foreskin and become invisible. Some restorers recommend that the stretching of internal and outer skin be regulated so that the scar is at the tip of the restored foreskin.<ref>{{REFweb

The non-surgically restored foreskin will consist of both expanded inner mucosa and expanded shaft skin. The location of the circumcision scar will vary.
