Changes

'''Unsatisfactory cosmetic results including uncircumcised appearance''' occasionally result from a [[Circumcision| 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". Insufficient removal of [[foreskin]] tissue is not medically harmfulto health or well-being.

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. Parents and others should be aware that the norm in the [[United States]] is changing in favor of [[intactness]].

Every circumcision is an intentional injury to the [[penis]] and results in loss of various functions.<ref name="cold1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref> The extent of the injury is increased by greater excision of tissue, however revised circumcisions are still sought for cosmetic appearance.<ref>{{REFjournal
