'''Unsatisfactory cosmetic results including uncircumcised appearance''' occasionally result from a child or adult circumcision. They seem to be caused either by a prominent or wrinkled [[circumcision scar]] or by insufficient removal of tissue necessary to produce a "circumcised appearance".
Expectations of appearance are socially or culturally determined. Parents may seek [[circumcision]] for social or cultural reasons since all claimed medical or prophylactic benefits have been disproved. [[Intact]] adult males may seek [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]] to conform to a perceived cultural norm. Insufficient removal of [[foreskin]] tissue is not medically harmful.
Every circumcision is an intentional injury to the [[penis]]. The extent of the injury is increased by greater excision of tissue, however revised circumcisions are still sought for cosmetic appearance.
