What to know
Private Adult Circumcision at Platinum Medical Centre, NW8
Circumcision — surgical removal of the foreskin — is performed for medical indications including phimosis (tight foreskin that cannot be retracted), paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans), recurrent balanitis (infection beneath the foreskin), lichen sclerosus (scarring skin condition of the foreskin), and as elective adult circumcision for personal, cultural, or religious reasons.Read moreShow less
Medical circumcision under local or general anaesthesia is performed as a day case. Healing typically takes 4–6 weeks. Dr. Godbole performs adult circumcision at all HRG Urology clinic locations.
International Patients and Circumcision at Platinum Medical Centre

Diplomats and embassy staff for whom circumcision has religious or cultural significance, international professionals requiring medical circumcision for a foreskin condition, and patients from countries where circumcision is not routinely available to adults in the private healthcare system they use. The consolidated appointment model at Platinum Medical Centre — consultation and procedure potentially within the same week — is specifically designed for patients who cannot remain in London for multiple clinic visits spread over months.
Post-Circumcision Revision Surgery at Platinum Medical Centre
A specific patient group at Platinum Medical Centre consists of men who have had circumcision performed elsewhere.Read moreShow less
On the NHS, privately, or overseas — and who seek revision surgery for unsatisfactory outcomes: skin bridge formation, incomplete circumcision with residual tight foreskin, excessive skin removal causing tension during erection, or asymmetric cosmetic result. Dr. Godbole provides specialist circumcision revision assessment and corrective surgery at Platinum Medical Centre — including skin bridge release, secondary resection of residual foreskin, and scar revision. These are specialist urological procedures requiring precise anatomical knowledge.

Questions
Can adult circumcision be arranged within one week at Platinum Medical Centre for international patients?
Yes. For international patients with limited time in London, Dr. Godbole's team at Platinum Medical Centre can arrange consultation and procedure within the same week where theatre scheduling allows. Please call +44 (0)7884 183968 as soon as possible to discuss your specific timeline — earlier contact enables more flexibility in scheduling.
I had circumcision elsewhere and the result is unsatisfactory — can this be corrected at Platinum Medical Centre?
Yes. Circumcision revision surgery is available at Platinum Medical Centre for men with unsatisfactory outcomes from prior circumcision — including skin bridge formation, residual tight foreskin from incomplete resection, excessive skin removal causing tension, or asymmetric cosmetic appearance. The revision assessment reviews photographs and examines the specific anatomy before a surgical plan is proposed. Revision circumcision is a specialist urological procedure that requires greater anatomical precision than primary circumcision. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to arrange an assessment.
Is circumcision at Platinum Medical Centre completely confidential?
Yes. All consultations and procedures at Platinum Medical Centre are conducted with absolute confidentiality. No information is shared with any third party — including NHS GPs — without explicit patient consent. The Lodge Road NW8 address and Platinum Medical Centre name are generic enough not to disclose the nature of the procedure being discussed or performed. Complete discretion is maintained throughout.
What is the cosmetic standard of circumcision performed at Platinum Medical Centre?
Circumcision performed by a specialist urological surgeon uses the sleeve resection technique that achieves a symmetric, clean cosmetic result — preserving an appropriate amount of inner foreskin tissue, accurately positioning the circumcision line at the coronal sulcus, and applying interrupted absorbable sutures that dissolve without a visible scar line. The cosmetic standard of specialist urological circumcision consistently exceeds that of circumcision performed by general practitioners or in non-specialist settings.
Does HRG Urology at Platinum Medical Centre accept health insurance for circumcision?
Health insurance coverage for adult circumcision varies significantly by policy. Medical circumcision for phimosis, lichen sclerosus, or recurrent balanitis is typically covered under surgical provisions by Bupa, AXA Health, and Vitality. Elective circumcision without a medical indication is typically not covered. Please check with your insurer before booking. Self-pay patients are always welcome at £300 per consultation.
