Age 35 is completely normal for laser circumcision and recovery is the same as for younger adults.

Realistic timeline: Day 1-3 mild to moderate soreness, take prescribed painkillers regularly. Day 3-5 significant improvement, manageable discomfort. Week 1-2 swelling reduces, wound healing cleanly. Week 3-4 mostly healed, light activity okay. Week 4-6 full healing, sexual activity can resume.

Return to desk work: 2-3 days. Driving: 3-4 days. Gym: 3-4 weeks. Sexual activity: 4-6 weeks after full healing confirmed by doctor.

Had it done at 38 for phimosis. Recovery was straightforward. Was back at work in 3 days. The 4-6 week wait for full activity is real though โ€” do not rush it. Very glad I had it done.
