As much as is desired, with the exception of the frenar band.
However, past a certain point a restored foreskin will "tighten up" somewhat on the end and will resemble an intact foreskin enough to fool even a urologist unless the doctor examines it
very closely.

Yes, it is. There can be a dramatic increase in the number and variety of sensations available from a restored foreskin and from a glans finally free of the dulling effects of keratinization.
One common experience that restorers seem to share is the need at some point to "re-learn" how to masturbate: Actions that were once quite pleasurable become unbearably rough and/or too intense on newly-sensitive areas, while actions that literally couldn't be felt at all before restoration can become new-found sources of tittillation.

It took me the longest time to figure out what "btdt" means.
As someone who is currently "being there, doing that", I think I've covered the benefits so far...now for what's required: Dedication.
The
average (and it's a very loose average) amount of time needed for a full foreskin restoration is three years, but this varies greatly depending on a whole bunch of factors including your DH's age, the relative tightness of his circumcision, what method he chooses, and whether or not he takes breaks in his restoration. One finished restorer I know took seven years to go from a circumcision so tight that erections were actually painful to full erect coverage that has fooled a licensed urologist in an examination, but he admits he took summers off from start to finish. Your DH's mileage will, of course, vary.
Putting/strapping/taping on whatever device or method your DH chooses has to become part of every day's morning routine just like brushing his teeth. Fortunately, 8-12 hours a day is plenty with any method, and more than that is actually counter-productive.
The downside is that as with weight loss, body-building, or any other physical activity, he WILL reach plateaus where growth seems to just stop. This is where the real dedication is necessary, as it can be tough to keep going with little or no tangible gains to show for the effort. Some restorers deal with these plateaus by changing methods, while others use them as an excuse to take a break from restoring for a while, and still others don't stress about the inevitable plateaus and just keep on tuggin' right through them.
I hope that answers your questions, and that I haven't inadvertantly violated the UA in any way.
: So, it can be a lot more emotional than they anticipate. They may even decide to take a break, or make excuses not to restore as they don't want to deal with the emotions.
. Are you using a device or is it taking so long because you are doing it manually? I was under impression that it takes somewhat up to 2 years.
