Circumcision Clinic Ireland

Specialist Pediatric Care

Welcome to Circumcision Clinic Ireland at Leigheas Medical Centre. Led by Dr. Yasir Iqbal (MRCSI, FCPS), we provide families with a safe, private, and compassionate environment for infant male circumcision.

Dr. Iqbal is a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland with advanced specialist training in minor surgical procedures from both Pakistan and Ireland.

📍 Convenient Location: Based in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, our clinic is easily accessible for patients traveling from Dublin, Galway, Limerick, and Cork.

The Plastibell™ Technique

We use the Plastibell device, a globally recognized and safe method for circumcision in infants and children. This technique is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia to ensure your child's comfort.

Age Range: Ideally suited for infants (under 8 weeks) using local anesthesia.

Your Questions Answered

We understand that circumcision can be a big decision. We aim to clarify the main questions you may have:

What is the best age for baby circumcision?

We perform circumcisions for all ages. However, the best recommended age is as soon as possible after birth, between 1-4 weeks.

Will my baby feel pain during the circumcision?

We use local anaesthetic to numb the area and minimise discomfort during the procedure. The injection itself may be uncomfortable, but the procedure will be painless. Some mild discomfort in the first 24–48 hours is normal, and we provide full aftercare instructions to help manage this.

Will my son cry during circumcision?

It depends on their age:

  • Under 2 months: Most babies remain calm or cry briefly. They are easy to distract and settle.
  • 2–6 months: Babies may cry intermittently but are usually manageable with comfort techniques.
  • Over 6 months: Crying is more frequent and difficult to settle.
  • Over 9 months to 5 years: Expect strong crying or screaming due to fear and unfamiliar surroundings, not pain (as the area is numbed).

We always take gentle, age-appropriate steps to minimise distress.

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure itself usually takes just a few minutes. Including preparation and aftercare review, you can expect to be in the clinic for about 45 minutes.

Is circumcision safe for babies?

Yes — when performed by experienced professionals in a clinical setting like ours, circumcision is a safe and routine procedure. We follow strict hygiene protocols and patient safety standards at all times.

How much does baby circumcision cost?

Costs vary depending on the age group of your son. Newborn baby circumcision starts at €400. Please see our Price & Fees section for more details.
