Frenuloplasty lengthens the small bridge of skin under the foreskin. It is performed under local anaesthesia with minimal discomfort.
 |
The frenulum shows an area of shortening and scarring due to previous tears |
 |
The frenulum is stretched gently prior to local anaesthesia |
 |
Local anaesthetic is injected to numb the area |
 |
An inverted "V" shaped incision is made then deepened to remove the deeper scar tissue |
 |
The incision is sewn up as an inverted "Y" Sometimes a thecniques called "Z plasty" may be more appropriate |
 |
The result three months later: 1.2 cm of lengthtening has been gained
