I'm very skeptical of the foreskin restoration procedures. I think that they work, yes. I just doubt their long-term safety. Stretching skin causes the cells to divide to produce extra tissue. Cell division is one of the causes of dna damage that can eventually lead to cancer.
My theory is that men who indulge in foreskin restoration will be at increased risk for skin cancer (in an already sensitive area). I have no data yet that supports the theory, but I still think my reasoning is sound. I hope that long-term studies someday show that there is no cause for worry.
