A high circumcision is when the scar is closer to your body. This generally leaves alot of inner foreskin exposed, like yours.
A low circumcision is when the scar is closer to the head of the penis.
A tight circumcision is when there is little or no moveable skin on the shaft.
A loose circumcision means there is still movement of the shaft skin.
You can have high and tight, high and loose, low and tight, or low and loose. None of these terms have anything to do with future cleanliness or how much of the head is exposed- all of these produce circumcisions where the glans is exposed all the time, and the foreskin is removed. The difference is mainly in scar placement, amount of inner skin left, and shaft movement. -NebHealth Question & Answer

When a circumcision is done there are different methods used and also different styles.
Different methods include using a clamp such as the Gomco, smart, plastibell or mogen clamp. where the foreskin is clamped off and then cut or crushed. Then there is the guided forceps and sleeve resection(freehand method) These involve the use of a scalpel and are more appropriate for adult circumcisions since they will give a more accurate and tighter cut.
Then there are the styles. Such as High and tight,Low and tight, high and loose, low and loose. the loose circucmcision will leave more foreskin and there will be movement in the shaft. the tight circumcision will leave less foreskin and probably veny little movement in the shaft. Hhigh and Low refers to where the scar is placed. it it is closer to the glans it is considered low if it is further down closer to the body it is a high circ.

I havn't heard the term before, but I would think that its just a different type of circumcision. I would guess that a "high" circumcision is one where not all the forskin is removed, which is becomming more common now a days. In past years, it was custom to remove all the forskin, so I would think thats its still just a circumcision but with a more modren name attached to it. Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer
A high and tight is when the scar is high and they take off more skin (the bad kind to get) then theres a low and loose, where they leave a little bit more skin so you won't have problems with your circumcision later on.

The fact that there are different types and styles of circumcision just reinforces my belief that it is a purely cosmetic procedure and of no real value.Health Question & Answer
If you need circumcised "LOW will mean they will pull all the excess skin up and remove it, leaving the entire head exposed. "HIGH is only taking or "CUTTING ENOUGH skin off to not hinder your urine flow,leaving all the skin on will cause you to have a little urine in the end and if you are not clean with yourself you will have a "URINE" SMELL ON YOU AT ALL TIMES so you should wipe each time by pulling back the skin and drying it with tp..."GOT IT".?Health Question & Answer
