Kirby states that restoration procedures are "certainly feasible, but they are not without considerable risks, not least of which is loss of sensation of the penile shaft", and comments that "the [[placebo effect]] ... cannot be discounted."<ref>{{REFjournal

It is however naive at best (and malicious at worst) to attribute the satisfaction of foreskin restorers to a placebo effect. A placebo is a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment. Foreskin restoration grows skin that is as sensitive as the rest of the penile skin, and this provides additional skin mobility (which had been limited by circumcision) and stimulates a physiological change on the surface of the glans. Because foreskin restoration has actual physiological effects, its results cannot be discounted as a simple placebo effect.

Foreskin regeneration is only theoretical as of 2019. No foreskin has ever been regenerated. There is no assurance that foreskin regenration will actually be successful.
