Frenuloplasty - pain 5 weeks post op

Hi all,

I had a Frenuloplasty for a tight frenulum that I tore twice during dry sex about 1.5 years ago.

The surgery went ok. Some bleeding after and I took antibiotics. Was told to peel back the foreskin everyday and clean the area with water which I did. Eventually I could pull the foreskin back further than before exposing the approximate 1 Cm of frenulum that was removed. It was still sore but this was only week 3-4. Now I’m on week 5 and where the foreskin attaches now to the head (1 Cm lower than before) there is just a little bit of an opening left to heal over. It however stings like hell and my pain has gone up. Now I can’t even stretch my foreskin back without the pain and I’m in exactly the same situation I was a year ago with a small rip in my frenulum that healed with brittle scar tissue.

Am I screwed? Because this is going to take forever to heal, and if it’s just scar tissue I haven’t improved my situation All I’ve done is had the tight area where the foreskin connects to the head moved one Cm further down the shaft. I’m almost in tears as I think I’m gong to be that 1/100 that has complications after a frenuloplasty. Did anyone’s surgical area take longer than 5 weeks to completely heal? I have a follow up with the surgeon tomorrow. Thanks everyone.
