There is no maximum age that limits circumcision.
However, there are very successful alternatives to circumcision, especially for a tight foreskin and too much sensitivity:

Alternatives are less painful and avoid all the risks and negative effects that can be brought by circumcision (as a result, circumcision has lost a lot of popularity):

There is no maximum age. How old are you now and what are your reasons for wanting it done? That would help us give better advice as to whether it is something you should pursue at your age.

you can have it done at any age. Some parents take away the child's rights and get it done against their will as a baby, while some show compassion and let the son get it done as and ADULT when/if HE wants to, not just because of silly reasons like "to look like dad" or "because it's cleaner"

I didn't know that there was one. My husband has a couple of friends that had it done for medical reasons and those guys were in their mid to late 40's and one was early 50's. they went to a urologist to have it done, and sat around on ice packs for a few days as well!

There really is no max age. It's usually done during infancy, which I really disagree with.

Any age. Don't you watch Oprah?
Seriously though, if you're thinking about it, talk to a doctor. There are medical benefits of doing so.
But if you've gotten this far in life, don't worry about it.

There's no "maximum" age that this surgery could be done to a person (heck, it can even be done post-mortem!)
