How The Y Factor Can Help
SHANG RING CIRCUMCISION
This procedure is a no-suture method performed in the office under local anesthesia. This procedure takes 30 minutes utilizing the Shang Ring device, which is an FDA-approved device endorsed by the World Health Organization. The recovery time is reduced; most men are able to go back to work one day after the procedure.
All patients will meet with one of our specialty trained urological medical providers for a consultation to go over the Shang Ring circumcision procedure before scheduling an appointment for the actual procedure with Dr. Williams. This consultation will also be conducted for procedures that are performed the same day.
CONVENTIONAL CIRCUMCISION
Providers from The Y Factor perform this procedure in a surgical setting under general anesthesia.
Circumcision Aesthetic and Repair
At The Y Factor we understand that some guys might not be happy with the way their penis looks after a previous circumcision procedure. Medically the procedure went well, but what if it still doesn’t give you the look you want? We’re proud to offer a Circumcision Aesthetic and Repair procedure that can fix any aesthetic issues you might be having after a previous procedure.

We provide a Personalized Quote
While each patient circumcision is unique, we found that the following pricing structure is a good baseline for most men. The Y Factor can provide a personalized quote after your consultation with Dr. Russel Williams. The Y Factor can accept your insurance for the consultation, but the actual procedure is not covered by insurance and is based on the prices below:
$500 – This excision will release the tight band under the head of the penis (stand alone procedure)
$1,700 – For men who desire a circumcision but need a dorsal slit and have tightness and pain to the frenulum (underside of glans)
$3500 – For obese men who are not candidates for the Shang Ring Circumcision or have other preventing anatomy (requires/includes anesthesia cost)
$1,200 – This pricing includes our Shang Ring Circumcision consultation and procedure with Dr. Williams plus a follow-up.
$4,500 – For men who have had a circumcision but want additional cosmetic modification or relief of previous circumcision complications (requires/includes anesthesia cost)
$1,400 – For men who can’t pull their foreskin back, Dr. Williams will have to complete an additional dorsal slit to relieve the scarred foreskin.

The Ring Circumcision is less invasive, does not require a trip to a surgery center, does not require general anesthesia, is less costly, requires no sutures and creates a nice incision line.
A circumcision may be necessary if you cannot pull back the foreskin or it cracks and tears. Also, circumcision reduces the risk of bacterial infections and HIV transmission. If you do not have problems, then the choice is a personal choice more than a medical need.
Insurance does not cover the shang ring circumcision procedure, but most times insurance will cover the consultation. Check with our staff, and we can check your insurance. We also accept Care Credit.
Dr. Russel Williams, MD travelled to China in 2017 for training and is the first and only Urologist in Texas certified to perform the Shang Ring. He has performed over 300 in the last two years.
The Y Factor’s commitment to care means we want a urologist available to see patients when they need it.

*100% of the deposit will be forfeited for no shows or cancellations less than 48 hours prior to the procedure. All cancellations must be via phone call and communication to our office staff. All cancellations or reschedule appointments greater than 48 hours before your procedure qualify for a refund or reapply the deposit to that later date.
