Should I Have My Frenulum Removed?

Update - saw urologist today (Monday Jan 27 2020) - he can do a frenulectomy, and says I need it - but we have settled on a full circumcision (plus frenulectomy), and he will do the freehand sleeve resection method. I will request high and tight.
Likely end of Feb/beginning of March.
 
What is a freehand sleeve resection? If you’re going to get full circ I hope it is at least straight, I see some that are angled, crooked, jagged, that bothers me if someone wants cosmetic circ and it ends up looking bad. Also high and tight you mean the scar way back on the shaft or up close to the ridge. ?

Oh it’s very neatly done. Sleeve resection is the best way for an adult circ. They remove a band of skin - as much as you want - around the shaft, and then stitch the two sections together. It’s the best method for high and tight.

Here are 4 pictures of my frenulum.
I am uncut - but like to roll back most of the time (I’ve even considered circumcision)
What do you think about how this looks right now?
It is kind of tight - and the sensitivity it has is not one that helps me sexually.
I have read about frenulectomy and frenuloplasty.
I’m intrigued and keen!
Can anyone offer any thoughts, advice, experiences, suggestions?
Thanks for the feedback!
Are you out of your freaking mind?! That's where hickeys and lipstick goes.

Ok glad you like yours. How is the sensitivity now.

Retract foreskin fully, draw two lines around the penis. Cut along each line, remove the skin between the 2 lines. Bring remaining skin together to close the gap, stitch together.

Measuring skin and drawing the lines determines the outcome (tight, loosem low/high etc).

Sounds good to me!
High and tight for me - in 53 days from today!
 
How about the plastibell they use on babies. They crush the foreskin until.it dies and falls off. Seems barbaric
Yeah - that’s an odd method.
I’m glad my surgeon does freehand - and exactly how you want it.

Exactly how mine was done. A simple idea and it was interesting to watch some of the procedure, too. A high scar placement was what I asked for and what I got.

There are devices that use that principle for adults. It is actually not barbaric but rather much mroe evolved. Generally, it crushes the 2 layers of skin together. Each layer detects non-viable tissue ahead (due to lack of blood circulation) and builds scar tissue to isolate itself from the dead skin. Each layer,s scar tissue ends up touching the other layer's scar tissue hence, the 2 layers are bonded. When you remove de device after about a week, the crused skin is totally dead and is like a scab, and it falls off in a day or day during shower and you have a fully closed acsr. No blood, no infection.

Note: when on adult, how long you wear the device mattrers a lot. not enough and the scar hasn't had time to become solid enough, and when you wear it too long, the device can start to cut the skin from the scar, defeating the work that the scar had done and leaving you with 2 skin edges not bonded together.

Some of the modern adult devices: Prepex, Tara Klamp,, Shang Ring, Sunathrone etc.

The newest circ device is an automatic stapler. Insert metal bell over glans, tie foreskin ocer it. Screw in the "stapler" gun. It pushes a circular knife against the metal bell to cut the skin and then pushes staples across the skin (with the share of bell causing stples to close tight. You unscrew the gun, you have the severed foreskin on the top fo bell, you remove bell and you have a circumcised penis with small staples all round instead of stitches. Staples falls off within about 2 weeks. (there are many videos of "circumcision stapler" on youtibe. pretty neat invention.

Thank you for the informative and detailed description. There’s always someone trying to build a better mouse trap, in this case a foreskin trap. Ha ha never once have I nor will I think let me stick part of my dick in a vice and Clamp it for a week
 
There are methods that will cut the ridged band (which is constricting you) and save the frenulum.
There is no need to cut the frenulum. There are other methods. When you cut skin off you make your dick smaller. Look into just getting a dorsal slit. That doesn’t cut any skin off. You can always cut more off. Can’t put more on. There are also novel procedures that don’t cut the frenulum.

It don't look like you have anything wrong with your dick of foreskin. It seems that you just want a circumcision. Well if that is what you really want, then do it. It just don't look like anything is wrong.

wow! Find it amazing, never heard of this technique before, I ahve watch a video on youtube and not a single drop of blood, perfect line cut, in one word amazing!
 
It’s almost the opposite for me. It is both irritating and in the way. Happy that yours is good though!
I think I’ll lose mine.
Excellent work done,all the photos are superb..I love frenulum remoed..Hv done it a few tears ago..Feel great..i can wear a glans ring all the time under the foreskin...Many advantages are there to have the frenulum removed.!!!
