The foreskin (or prepuce) is cut off and removed in circumcision. The foreskin is the structure that covers the head (glans) of a non-erect penis. The outer layer of the foreskin is not distinct from the rest of shaft-skin of the penis. In general though, the foreskin is usually considered the tapered cylindrical double layer of tissue extending from behind the corona (flange) forward to about the end of the glans and returning, and to end at the same distance along the penis as it began (ie, it is defined by circumcision...).
From the corona to the ridged band its surface is mucosa; the rest is skin, and it is lined with part of the (involuntary) dartos fascia muscle which holds it against the glans. On erection for most men it unrolls into a single-layered cylinder, mucosa behind the corona, skin behind that, enclosing about half of the shaft. During intercourse it may move back and forth along the shaft. It is richly innervated with Meissner corpuscles, nerve-endings of the same kind as in the fingertips and lips. They are most concentrated in a ridged band running around the inside of the foreskin near the tip, beginning and ending at the frenulum, a web connecting the foreskin to the underside of the glans (head).
Unfolded, the total area of the foreskin is about 15 sq in or 98 cm².

No, circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of a penis. I suppose if someone removed the "hood" of skin over the clitoris on a female, that would be considered circumcision. That may be done in some countries and cultures, but not in USA.
Can a properly executed circumcision require a circumcision revision?
A circumcision revision is when a change is made to an already circumcised foreskin. Often this means that either not enough skin was removed, so more skin is removed, or that the initial cut healed unevenly or was badly done to begin.
What is the best way to be circumcised with the frenulum being excised also In other words how much foreskin should be removed in the circumcision?
The best way to be circumcised is not to be circumcised at all. Circumcision has no known medical benefit and has the risks of potential complications and adverse events following the procedure. Circumcision also decreases the sensitivity of the penis, resulting in decreased pleasure during sexual intercourse. Circumcision is generally only used to treat cases of phimosis (tight foreskin) that do not respond to the usual treatment of gradual stretching exercises with the use of a topical corticosteroid cream. When circumcision is medically necessary because of a tight foreskin (phimosis), typically as little foreskin as possible should be removed. Typically only the tight phimotic ring will need to be removed, meaning that 2-3 cm of the foreskin will be removed. If you wish to be circumcised for cosmetic reasons, you may have as much or as little of the foreskin removed as you would like. I would recommend against having the frenulum removed, as this would only result in making sexual intercourse less pleasurable. Radical circumcision is not recommended. It can cause painful erections and painful intercourse. It also desensitizes the penis, making orgams more difficult to achieve and less pleasurable. The frenulum should generally not be removed during circumcision. Religious groups performing circumcision have their own standards and expectations from the procedure. Traditionally, circumcision within Judaism and Islam has involved removal of only a few centimeters of the foreskin. However, in the United States most circumcisions remove the entire foreskin, so that none of it remains to cover any part of the penis head.

What are the characteristics of the different types of circumcision?
Circumcision, in males, is the surgical removal of the foreskin or prepuce of the penis. About one-third of males in the United States are circumcised using this process. Two other operations on the penis are practiced by different ethnic groups, this being superincision and subincision. Superincision is a form of male circumcision in which the upper part of the foreskin is incised but not removed. Subincision is another form of male circumcision in which a cut is made along the underside of the penis, exposing the urethra. This type of circumcision is primarily practiced by Australian aborigines.
