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.
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]].
* [[Gliding action| Gliding]]
* Provision of comfort
* Appearance
More foreskin takes more tugging, so each restoring man must choose how long he wants his foreskin and how long he wants to engage in [[foreskin restoration]].
