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.

How is the Ring Circumcision better than the older technique?2025-04-25T15:41:10-05:00

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.

Learn more in our explanatory video clicking here.

Is a circumcision necessary?2025-04-25T15:43:08-05:00

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.

Does insurance cover a Circumcision?2025-04-25T15:42:21-05:00

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.
