==Introduction==
Foreskin restoration may be done surgically or non-surgically by [[tissue expansion]]. Also, [[foreskin regeneration]] is under development.
Relatively little medical literature regarding [[foreskin restoration]] for [[circumcised]] men exists. The reasons for this are two-fold. : * Foreskin restoration embarrasses and discredits the [[circumcision industry]] as it tries to make [[Financial incentive| as much money as it can]] from [[genital mutilation]] of boys.<ref name="bollinger2012">{{REFweb |url=https://www.academia.edu/6442587/High_Cost_of_Circumcision_3.6_Billion_Annually |title=High Cost of Circumcision: $3.6 Billion Annually |last=Bollinger |first=Dan |author-link=Dan Bollinger |publisher=Academia |website=https://www.academia.edu |date=2012 |accessdate=2024-06-21 |format= |quote=As the saying goes, follow the money.

==Surgical foreskin restoration==
[[Surgical foreskin restoration ]] was developed earlier than non-surgical foreskin restoration.

==Non-surgical foreskin restoration==
Non-surgical [[foreskin restoration ]] is accomplished by stimulating [[mitosis]] in the residual tissue to cause [[tissue expansion]].

==Foreskin regeneration==
[[Foreskin regeneration]] is a relatively new and experimental procedure with the application of the principles of tissue engineering to regeneration of missing foreskins, which [[Foregen]] is attempting to develop. The publications to date have been limited. The available articles report on the development of a procedure, not the actual performance of foreskin regeneration, which has not been reported as of June 2024.
