What is a Infant Male Circumcision?

Infant male circumcision is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing the foreskin from a baby boy’s penis. It is usually performed within the first few weeks after birth, often before the baby leaves the hospital or clinic.

Our Treatment Process

Consultant-Led Care, Guided by Best Clinical Practice

Consultation & Booking

Parents meet with the clinician to discuss the procedure, benefits, and aftercare. The baby’s medical history is reviewed to ensure it’s safe to proceed, and an appointment is scheduled.

The Procedure

The circumcision is performed by an experienced clinician in a sterile environment. Local anaesthetic is used to keep the baby comfortable, and the procedure usually takes only a few minutes.

Aftercare & Follow-Up

Parents receive clear guidance on caring for the circumcision site at home. A follow-up appointment may be arranged to ensure healing is progressing well and to answer any questions.

Chequers Health Group offers expert infant male circumcision services, focusing on the safety, comfort, and well-being of both baby and parent. Our experienced team has performed thousands of successful procedures using clinically trusted methods.

Infancy is widely regarded as the best time for circumcision because:

  • Babies experience less pain and minimal movement.
  • The procedure is quick and straightforward at this stage.
  • Infants will not remember the procedure.
  • Healing is typically faster and smoother.

Our team recommends circumcision between 1 to 3 months of age, ensuring optimal comfort and recovery.

We use the Plastibell ring method, known for being safe, reliable, and minimally invasive.

The Plastibell method involves placing a small, sterile ring around the foreskin. It:

  • Requires minimal cutting and bleeding.
  • Produces a precise, circular shape for a neat cosmetic result.
  • Takes around 10 minutes to complete.
  • Does not require stitches or dressings, simplifying aftercare.

The ring naturally falls off within a few days, and any small scar fades over time.

Your baby’s comfort is our top priority. Local anaesthesia is used to ensure minimal discomfort. Most babies settle quickly after the procedure.

No. A GP referral is not required. You can book directly with our team, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process.

Booking is simple — just contact us by phone or email, and our friendly staff will help you arrange an appointment at a convenient time.
