Crease-Removal Surgery for Men — A Case Study

The earlier blog post is a useful read alongside this one.

Pre-op: he had a crease on only one side.

Rather than removing the crease outright, I set a low new crease on the operated side and released the existing high crease.

Simply releasing the old crease isn't enough. The adhesions have to be cleared and the area handled so that no crease re-forms there.

An incisional approach is often assumed to mean significant swelling, but with careful hemostasis and quick, deliberate movements, swelling stays minimal.

Here's a video I took right at the end of the operation. Swelling is minimal.

And another at suture removal. At this level of swelling, there is barely any difference between the immediate post-op and later follow-up.

And a video at one month.

Surgery went well.

Unfortunately I shot the video poorly and it came out dark.

Quick hands, careful hemostasis, and avoiding excessive intra-operative manipulation — that combination keeps swelling down.
