It was closed, after the removal by the Urological Surgeon, by a Plastic Surgeon and now, only a short time later, aside from some rapidly fading stitches, there's no clear indication that it ever existed. I'm told that there will be a slightly raised line from the Perineum that will connect with the underside of the penis giving the look of a "natural" body.

I would point out that this sort of "extra" surgical work is probably only available in a accredited medical facility. Those who chose other methods of removal may not have access-as in an emergency room-to this sort of surgeon. It's a basic procedure but not one that most Plastic Surgeons routinely do so I'd want to know not only if they will do it but what their projection might be as to the appearance when finished.

My scrotum is rather tight and small to begin with, so removal might not be all that important. I think that I will ask Dr. Kimmel when he examines me if it should be done or not. The thought of a smooth underside does appeal to me.
