Who May Benefit From A Frenuloplasty?

Tear or snapped frenulum from sexual activity or other trauma.

Issues with hygiene due to the inability to clean under the foreskin properly.

What Does The Procedure Involve?

Performed under local anaesthetic; sedation or general anaesthetic can be arranged depending on preference and suitability

The tight frenulum is released by making a horizontal incision just under the glans, then re-stitched vertically to allow a lengthened and more flexible frenulum.

Takes around 30 minutes (sometimes less) in an operating theatre setting.

Can be combined with other procedures (for example, if you also want correction of a tight foreskin or a penile enhancement) to reduce overall downtime and anaesthetic exposure.

Recovery & Aftercare

Rest for a few days after the procedure; avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for about a week.

Sexual activity is usually safe after 4-6 weeks, once healing has progressed and when your surgeon confirms it.

For contact sports or anything that puts pressure or friction on the area, a longer wait may be advised.

Proper hygiene and gentle care of the incision are essential for smooth healing.

Frenuloplasty FAQs

The procedure takes one hour for our urological surgeons to perform in the operating theatre.

A frenuloplasty can be performed under a local or general anaesthetic. It can also be performed under sedation. You should discuss your preference with the Urologist at your consultation.

It could take up to six weeks before you can resume sexual activity, depending on how quickly everything heals after the surgery.

Yes, this is possible. Some men choose this option if they just prefer the penis without foreskin. If you have problems with a tight foreskin this could be a good time to resolve this problem along with the issues you have with your frenulum.

At Moorgate Andrology,frenuloplasty surgeries to fix a short penile frenulum are a commonly practiced operation performed by GMC Specialist registered Urologist.

The foreskin releasing procedure should not be painful at all. You should expect some discomfort after the surgery during the first week. You will be provided with post operative pain relief medication upon discharge from the hospital and a course of antibiotic to help prevent infection.

This will depend on the anaesthetic you have had. If you have opted for general anaesthesia or sedation, then someone will need to come to the hospital to collect you. If you have had a local anaesthetic, then you should be okay to go home alone after the procedure.

Normally you are admitted to the hospital one to two hours before the procedure. The procedure will take about one hour and then you will have a recovery period of around two to three hours if you have had a sedation.

It would be sensible to take a few days off work after the procedure to aid the healing process. If you have a sedentary job, then a few days is usually fine. If you have a more physical job, then you may need around one week off work.

Similarly to sexual activity, would be best to allow six weeks after your surgical treatment before playing contact sport to ensure everything has healed successfully.
