Finally after years of waiting I have been operated on by Dr Babykin and his lovely assistant Dr Svetlana M.The beginning of the story is here: viewtopic.php?t=6010#tothemes
So first Covid prevented me from travelling and then it was the Ukraine. Fortunately Dr Babykin made arrangements to perform operations in Baku.
I flew from the UK arriving a day before the planned date. The clinic asked me to come in for a routine blood test that afternoon. The next morning I walked from the hotel which is in the same street arriving, as arranged, at 08h30. I was shown to a modern private ward with one bed and en suite bathroom. All the people in Baku are very friendly and made me feel relaxed. Most of them also speak English especially the younger folk.
I was given a gown and slippers to change into and a few minutes later Dr Babykin came in to discuss the procedure and any requests. I asked for complete removal of the mucosal skin and he said that it would not be problem as I had enough remaining shaft skin. I was also having a Scrotalplasty, so he said it would take about two hours. I was wheeled to the theatre which was very modern and immaculately clean and asked to lay on the table. I was then covered with a disposable paper type sheet. I barely felt the first injection and after that nothing. Dr Babykin kept asking me if I was comfortable and the time flew by. I think I might have do ed off as it seemed as if minutes later I was wheeled back to the ward where I rested for a while. The Doctors arrived and gave instructions for treating the wound as well as an emailed version. The next morning I flew home and it's been painless so far. I don't know if it's Dr Babykin technique or because this was a revision of a prior circumcision but I have had very little swelling and no pain. Quite a different story compared to the first op that's for sure.
To anyone who desires a low cut style I don't think there is another surgeon anywhere in the world as accomplished as Dr Babykin and it's really easy to travel to Baku which is a modern and surprisingly large developed city.
