Re circumcission to correct first surgery

I've been circumcised about more than a decade back.the scar line is uneven, with an inch of inner foreskin behind glans and frenulum not removed but has a stich into it as well.the stiches have formed into many knots during the surgery.i was told that they would heal and become flat. But the look hasn't changed and now I wish to have the inner foreskin removed.I also experience a sharp pain when I loosley pinch the hanging inner foreskin under and behind the glans. A general.doctor said that I don't have enough shaft skin in order and cannot cut a healed inner skin. If it is the short skin, iam sure I can stretch it as I did for sometime before and was successful. I definitely know the pros and cons of inner skin removal w.r.t pleasure etc and I've decided to go for it after lots of research. I've also read that people have been operated in the same place many times after scar tissue formation. Please advise.

Yeah, I think so. Plastic surgeons specialize in performing surgeries that leave minimal scarring, etc., so that's probably good advice. You wouldn't want to correct one problem only to be left with another one due to poor appearance. I guess the charge for plastic surgery might be higher, hopefully your insurance would still cover at least part of it. Good luck...

Hi,
I come back now after a little research.ive spoken to a plastic surgeon over phone and he assures it can be done. Meanwhile I did some reading on the blood supply system just to know if removing more of inner foreskin would cause any issues with venous drainage from significant areas of glans or etc. I plan to remove the frenulum also, but have read similar things about frenular artery etc.
My concern is
1. Do I have to be worried about further inner foreskin trimming and any associated circulation issues?
2. Does frenular artery get cut during frenulum removal?
3. Do I have to worry at all about the above  points as a plastic surgeon is expected to know all this and so be assured?
Thanks

You got advice from a GP, but in this very sensitive area I think you need to consult a Urologist & also possibly someone familiar with surgery of the area. The GP may be partially correct, but the skin of the penis definitely is made to expand (as during erection), so I think it's not out of the question a good surgeon might be able to correct this.

Thanks, I did visit a urologist who said it can be done. But since iam concerned about the appearance also, he advised to get this re surgery done by a plastic surgeon. Is plastic surgery really required? I had spoken to another general surgeon before this urologist visit to whom I posted pics on request and he replied that the surgery can surely be done. But again, is plastic surgery really required? Thanks in advance..
