Hidden-Suture Circumcision: The Subcutaneous Technique for a Barely-Visible Scar
Dr. Chai's signature technique buries every stitch beneath the skin — no visible row of stitches, a smooth flat line, and back to normal life right away.
What is hidden-suture circumcision?
Hidden-suture circumcision is a closure technique where every stitch is placed beneath the skin (within the dermis), so no suture line shows on the surface. The result is a wound that heals smooth, flat and refined — a barely-visible line — unlike closures with stitches on the surface, which often leave a visible row along the scar.
At MENHANCE this is performed by Dr. Chai, a urologist with over 30 years of experience, who buries every suture beneath the skin for the cleanest possible result.
Hidden-suture vs. visible-stitch (knotless) circumcision
| Hidden-suture (Dr. Chai's technique) | Knotless / visible-stitch | |
|---|---|---|
| Suture placement | All beneath the skin | Stitches sit on the skin |
| Visible line | Barely visible | Row of stitches along the scar |
| Smoothness of healing | Smooth, flat, fine line | Less refined |
| Stitch removal | None — sutures dissolve | Depends on suture type |
