Frenal band

[Guest]

So, the way I understand it, foreskin restoration replicates the remaining shaft skin and mucosa, from the original foreskin, enable to replace it. The difference between an intact penis, and a restored penis, is the frenal band, which goes down from the glans to one third way of the shaft skin, around where the circumcision scar is, then goes around the penis.
My question was, can the frenal band be reconstructed?

Well, your terminology may be a bit ambiguous, so bear with me. The frenulum is a "delta" shaped are under the penis, where the foreskin and the glans come together. the term frenal band is sometimes used as a synonym for ridged band. These are two separate structures. The ridged band is the end of the foreskin, where the inner and outer come together. Of course, the frenulum and the ridged band come together too, so despite the difference, they "overlap" and work "together", if you will.

Here are some photos to show each:

Frenulum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenul...%C3%A9puce.jpg

As you point out, they are both removed, the ridge band almost always completely, the frenulum varies somewhat, but basically removed typically.

I do not recall anyone reporting back that they had surgery to build an artificial frenulum and where happy with the way it was. The idea comes up, and some have suggested surgery could work, but the question is what is meant by "it can work".

Men who have experienced all three conditions, sex while intact, sex while circumcised, and sex while restored, tend to say that the restored foreskin doesn't quite "snap" back over the glans as it did when they were intact, but they do not seem to think it is a big deal, compared to the loss of sensation that unavoidably occurs with circumcision. and, they are a lot happier with a restored foreskin than as they were circumcised.

I suppose it could be reconstructed, but I would think carefully about what your goal is and what risk you are comfortable with. I see no need to have any surgery based on my results so far.

With a frenal band, and frenulum reconstruction, though, it would look more normal. I'll compare mine with those pictures, I still have some frenulum.

If the surgery looked as good as you imagine, yes. Then the trade off to think about is how much more normal, vs the risks. When flaccid, from what I have seen so far, the improvements would be so slight that it might not be worth the risk of lessened feelings due to additional scar tissue. When erect and under closer inspection, perhaps it would. Hard to say without seeing examples of surgical reconstruction.

Just some thoughts.

For the record:


1. You first sentence contains (the last) 4 words which don't make sense grammatically, so it's unclear what you are referring to.

2. There is no such thing as a "frenal band".

3. Technically, there is no such thing as a "frenar band", a misused term which is sometimes used to refer to the "ridged band", a term that Taylor et al used.

4. In any case, the ridged band is transverse to the penile shaft, near the end of the foreskin proper, and has never, will never, "go down from the glans to one third the way of the shaft skin".

5. You are perhaps trying to describe the frenular delta.

6. One of the things restored (if you even begin restoration) can be, and really should be, basic anatomical terms relating to dicks.
