I'm a bit confused on the timeline of surgical procedure. Which one comes first? Frenulum tear or foreskin removal?
If foreskin is removed, so does the frenulum in general to prevent skin irritation or skin pulling.
There is of course a request where frenulum is left in place, and only a small amount of the excessive foreskin is removed to expose the glans, with the frenulum in tack. Of course, there should be quite a bit of foreskin remains if that happens. I'm just scratching my head that the foreskin seems very tight, seeing that the penis in the photo is 80% to 90% erect?
When the foreskin is removed, and the stitching of the foreskin becomes tight, it does cause the penis to "retract" because the skin is attempting to rebind and shrink to a safer elasticity. Imagine if you can when you get a third degree burn on some part of the body, with a portion of the skin is burnt off. The doctors didn't use any donated skin (from stomach, thigh, or under arms) to graft onto, but instead, decided to pull the skin closer and tighter together during the stitching. When that happens, the burnt and stitched area appeared smaller, or warped.
In this case, your penis foreskin is chopped, and pulled together during the stitching. The foreskin that meant to allowed the stretching of the penile shaft got shorten. The skin appeared very tight in the photo. This indicates an over removal of the foreskin during the stitching. When that happens, the full length you have does appear "shortened" because of the tight foreskin. The only to get the prior length back is to slowly stretch the tight skin back out and regain part of the elasticity of the old foreskin back. Do ease back in and go easy like we discussed before. Too fast of a pull will rip your scarred skin from the stitched site apart.
Commonly, after 12 weeks minimum. You want to make sure the skin full attached and strengthen before slowly stretching them apart. It's like comparing stretching a whole piece of fabric vs stitched piece of fabric. Whole piece will go a lot further in terms of elastic strength. Stitched pieces depends on the strength of the strength of the binding site. Take your time and ease in. Desperate measures to regain the length will rip the skin apart.
