Problem with frenulum and potential scar tissue

Hello to everyone in this magnificent forum! I am 30 years old and I experience a problem with broken frenulum in the past and potential scar tissue creation.One of the urologists I consulted has the opinion that the frenulum was traumatized during sexual contact some time ago and as a consequence it was improperly healed with "scar tissue". This scar tissue is not elastic enough and cannot move properly as the rest of the foreskin, so during sexual activity there is an obvious problem!  As a result, when errect and pull over the foreskin there is severe pressure on the frenulum area which of course ends to pain in this area also and a curvature of ONLY the glans towards bottom. I have no other issue or any other disease and in the past I never had any other important illness. I enclose some photos in errection so somebody who is expert may have an opinion on my issue. A plastic surgeon proposed to solve the problem with skin graft but has never performed this specific operation in the past. Any opinions?

It appears that you have a short frenulum (known medically as frenulum breve.  You may consult a urologist who could do a minor operation on your frenulum to either lengthen it or cut it to permit your foreskin to retract completely.

if he suggests circumcision, leave his office and find another doctor.

Thank you bobbylee1865 for the answer. But there is no frenulum actually as you can see in the photos and the plastic surgeon says that there is no string to work on. Non of the three urologists said they can fix it and suggested to me to visit plastic surgeon...
OK, I see what you mean.  

It is normal for the foreskin to be longer on the top (dorsal) side than on the bottom (ventral) side.  Your foreskin completely clears the head and then some.  It is only when pull it way back that your penis head starts to bend down.

Since the problem occurs during sexual activity, you need to limit retraction of your foreskin, which you may do by using personal lubricant and limiting penetration.
The problem of bending occurs during non-errection also without the pain! In errection the foreskin clears the head as you said but with difficulty. And the plastic surgeon mentioned that since there is no string observed he cannot perform Z-plasty so he proposed skin graft from another part of my body to lengthen it. During sex with lubricant forget it the problem persists...
Alexous:

The only other option, I see, which I am reluctant to suggest, because I don't believe in them, is a circumcision.  This would shorten the top of your penile skin and end the bending down.

The foreskin is protective and is where most of the nerves are.  I would not want to be circumcised.
