No offense, but I think you maybe didn't pay attention in school or you're talking about something you were taught nothing about. What you said is horse-cocky.
Cutting an infant is the worst possible time because everything is small so errors are likely and are magnified as the victim grows. Healing happens in fouled diapers which is just stupid. The adult can tolerate real anesthesia as the OP had, and can manage his own pain relief during recovery. And he can communicate if something doesn't feel just right during healing.
The butcher cutting and infant has no idea how how much slack the victim would like to have, or how large the kid's penis will grow to be, or even how swollen it is at the time of cutting. It could be turgid from handling or shriveled from the chill of the operating room and the pain of having the still-fused skin ripped from the glans. Oh, did I mention that peeling the skin from an infant's glans is like tearing a fingernail off?
What kind of sick pervert thinks it's a good idea to do permamant pleasure-reducing cosmetic genital surgery on a non-consenting child?
Maybe a doctor or prof told you the complication rate was 1% for infant circs. Newsflash: that's BS. The only reason they don't show a lot of complications is that they put up with shoddy work. Just hack it off and send them home with no stitches? Here's a starting point to see infant circ complications that don't manifest until after puberty; never counted in anyone's published complication rate: How to Identify Circumcision Damage in the Adult Male
But the main reason cutting in infancy is bad is that the victim can't consent. There is no emergency, so the proxy consent of another is not ethical to even seek.
Don't tell me about STDs; infants don't have sex. Don't tell me about UTIs; those numbers are BS (infections due to incompetent care, as the AAP acknowledges) and the silliest UTI estimate for intact boys is way less than for girls, who get antibiotics - not amputations - if they get an infection.
Yeah adult circs take a while. That's because they do them with prudent medical practice, suturing the muscle layer and then the skin layer, and taking note of the vascularization.
Too late for our OP, but they can also do careful preputialplasty that alleviates discomfort or non-retractability without amputating any sensual tissue.
