That was the first shedding of His blood.... and that's an interesting point. Since He shed His saving blood for all of us, did He in some sense undergo circumcision for all of us? --- Just an odd thought!!
But it was in obedience to the Law, to which He didn't have to submit (being God) but He did everything that would make Him a perfect Jew. So. Still perfect.
