=== Aesthetic reasons ===
The visual appearance of the [[penis]] is changed radically after circumcision. In this case, personal taste is decisive whether an a [[intactforeskinned]] or a [[circumcised]] [[penis]] is more appealing. Since a circumcision cannot be undone, it is essential to be fully informed about the risks , losses, and possible later complications before embarking on an aesthetically motivated circumcision, to decide whether the appearance will justify such bodily modification.
It should be noted that every circumcision operation leaves a life-long [[circumcision scar]] that encircles the shaft of the [[penis]]. In addition, there frequently a is a color change at the circumcision scar which results in a two-tone appearance.
Since this modification and its possible late effects will be the lifelong burden of the person who undertakes an aesthetically motivated circumcision to suit his personal preferences, a valid decision to proceed can only be made by the person to be [[circumcised]] himself, once he has reached the necessary age and level of maturity to make that decision. This should normally be the case when adulthood is reached.
