The vast majority of restored foreskins have been created by non-surgical [[tissue expansion]].
== Creators ==
* The first category consists of men who 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 men| regret ]] their decision.
Both categories of creators seek a sense of wholeness or completeness, a restoration of normal appearance of the [[penis]], and a restoration of lost sensory and other functions to the extent possible. Other reasons are to regain control over one's body and anger management.<ref>{{REFbook

A combination of [[shaft skin]] plus scrotal skin was used in all reported cases to create a surgically restored [[foreskin]].
[[Shane Peterson]] of Perth, [[Australia, ]] excessively [[circumcised]] at birth, encountered significant issues and complications with his surgical foreskin restoration.<ref name="peterson2002">{{REFconference |last=Peterson |first=Shane E. |author-link=Shane Peterson |coauthors= |coauthors-link= |title=Assaulted and Mutilated: Surviving Circumcision Trauma |trans-title= |language= |url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4757-3351-8_15 |archived= |place=Washington, DC |publisher=Springer |source=Presented at the Seventh International Symposium on Human Rights and Modern Society |date=2002-04-05 |accessdate=2023-05-24 }}</ref>
== Non-surgically restored foreskin ==
==What is missing==
* The [[frenulum]] found on the natural [[intact]] [[penis]], which limits foreskin retraction, cannot be regained.
* The [[ridged band]] area of the natural [[intact]] [[penis]], which enhances sensation, cannot be regained.
==What is regained==
* The natural [[intact]] appearance is regained.
* The [[preputial sac]] is regained.
* The comfort of having the [[glans penis]] covered and protected is regained.
* The provision of skin oil and moisture to the [[glans penis]] is regained.
* Collection of [[smegma]] is regained. * [[Dekeratinization]] of the [[glans penis ]] will gradually occur, causing sensitivity to be regained.
* Mobility of the [[foreskin]] and [[gliding action]] are regained.

There are no controlled scientific studies on the extent of recovery of sensation, however several men, who were [[circumcised]] as adults and later restored, estimate that they have regained about 80 percent of lost sensation.
