Question: What do doctors do with.....?
What do the doctors or hospitals do with left over foreskin from circumcisions or the afterbirth from a female who just delivered, or the fat from breasts after a breast reduction.? What do they do with all of that stuff.? Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Most medical waste is incinerated in the hospital. However foreskins are kept and sold to cosmetic companies (no joke). Doctors actually make a fair bit of money from them which is one of the reasons they still promote newborn circumcision even though it's unnecessary.

I got interested in your question so I was researching it and I came across this. Kind of comical, especially the end:
At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings.?"
"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer.
But on he went, in his obnoxious way. "What about all these biscuit purchases. What do you do with the crumbs.?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of holy biscuits."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform.?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save up all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."
Now I am going back to search more.Health Question & Answer

Foreskin is actually used in artificial skin growth. It grows the best, so they use it the most. I saw it on a Discovery Channel movie :D
I guess they just throw away the other stuff. Maybe they keep the fat for people who might need it, but afterbirth has no potential uses.Health Question & Answer

Foreskins are used for skin grafts sometimes. Apparently you need very few of them to grow a lot of skin though. They are also used for cosmetics. Oprah actually endorsed a face cream made of human foreskins (no I'm not kidding you can read about it here- http://www.plasmetic.com/skin/skin-care-...
