Changes

The procedure usually involves the removal of the [[frenulum]] or the creation of an incision in the frenulum that is then stretched to lengthen it and stitched closed. The incision can be z-shaped, y-shaped or a single horizontal cut. Once healed, the procedure effectively elongates the frenulum, allowing normal [[retraction of the foreskin]]. <ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Frenuloplasty.pdf |title=Frenuloplasty |publisher=The British Association of Urological Surgeons |date=2020-12 |accessdate=2023-01-24 |format-PDF}}</ref> Under normal circumstances the incision heals completely in around six to eight weeks, after which time normal sexual activity can resume. Other methods of treatment include horizontal stitches in the frenulum which over the course of a week cut through the tight [[skin]], elongating it. This is generally more painful than the standard procedure, but heals faster.
