It can make the penis slightly smaller.Surgical penile enlargement,also called phalloplasty,can increase the lenght and width.
Does circumcision affect penis size? A recent article found that the mean penis erect length was 16cm, i.e., about 6 3/8 inches. It further found that the average erect penis length in circumcised men was 3/8" shorter than in normal men, viz:- Richters J, Gerofi J, Donovan B. "Are condoms the right size(s)? a method for self-measurement of the erect penis." Venereology 1995; 8(2):77-81.
Abstract:- "As part of a study investigating the adequacy of the Australian Standard for latex condoms, we arranged for self-measurement of the erect penis by a volunteer sample of 156 men, predominantly Caucasian. The kits contained illustrated instructions and paper tapes which the respondents mailed back to us marked with creases to indicate their dimensions. Mean penile length was 16.0 cm (95% confidence interval (CI) 12.2-19.8 cm) and circumferences were: base 13.5 cm (95%CI 0.7-16.2); shaft just below coronal ridge 12.4 cm (95%CI=10.0-14.8); glans 11.9 cm (95%CI 9.6-14.2). Repeat measurements of 15 men showed intraclass correlations (r) of 0.90 for length, 0.68 for base circumference, 0.87 behind ridge and 0.87 glans. Non-users of condoms were more likely to have narrower penises. In a subsample of 66 men who reported on perceived condom comfort, men with wider penises (base circumference) were more likely to find condoms too tight. Men with longer penises were more likely to complain that condoms were too short. Circumcised men had shorter erect penises than (p0.05). The paper recommends that the measurement technique described in this study should be applied to other populations, and that condoms should be manufactured and marketed in a wider range of lengths and widths."

circumsision doesn't effect penis size, most women are happy with a penis of average size so don't try to enlarge it unles it really bothers you as some women find a large penis painfull!
I really wouldn't worry about this too much but if it is something that really bothers u there are supplements availible, I would strongly advise that you stay away from pills from the internet as the sellers are only in it for profit and don't care about your wellbeing, the safest route is to ask in a local health food store for herbal dietry suplements that will help, don't be embarased they hear this everyday!
good luck,
but you are fine the way you are and most women will be happy with you as you are.

 Hi dear,
complements of the season. cirumsion for men is a removal of excess skin around it. it doesnt affect size and has nothing to do with length. what it can affect abit is the thickness.
And no, once u are cirumsised u cant redo it.
Dont worry about size becos u will find someone who would appreciate you like u are. tenderness, honesty and love means much to me and alot of other female than size. just be patient and u will find the right person for you.
Goodluck and happy new year in advance!
