Correct the skin web tethering the underside of the penis to the scrotum — which hides length and impairs the angle. Z-plasty and local flap release expose concealed length. Board-certified urologist in Seomyeon, Busan from $1,800. 15+ years of reconstructive experience.
Penoscrotal webbing — sometimes called "turkey neck" — is a fold of skin connecting the underside of the penis to the scrotum, obscuring length and flattening the penoscrotal angle. Learn from Dr. Moon Hyeon-chang how releasing this web exposes concealed length and improves function. 15+ years of experience, explained in clear English.
Dr. Moon personally corrects each case at our Busan Seomyeon practice. The key is releasing the web while reconstructing the skin so the correction lasts and looks natural — usually with Z-plasty, which prevents the straight scar from re-tethering.
Penoscrotal webbing ranges from mild to severe and can be congenital or acquired. Understanding your type guides the correction.
A pronounced web present from birth that significantly conceals length and limits the penoscrotal angle.
Webbing that develops after circumcision or other surgery when ventral skin heals with excess tethering.
A modest web that is mainly an appearance concern rather than a functional one.
Webbing combined with a fat pad, where release plus fat removal together expose length.
The principle is to release the tethering web and reconstruct the skin so it heals without re-forming a straight, tight band — most reliably with Z-plasty.
The extent of the web and its effect on length and angle are marked, distinguishing skin web from fat concealment.
Marking on stretch defines the true tethering.
The tethering skin band is incised to free the underside of the penis from the scrotum.
Release immediately improves the penoscrotal angle.
The defect is closed with Z-plasty so the scar zig-zags rather than reforming a straight tight line.
Z-plasty prevents recurrent straight-line tethering.
Larger webs may use additional local flaps to resurface without tension.
Flap choice depends on web size and skin laxity.
If a fat pad also conceals length, suprapubic fat removal is combined for full exposure.
Combined approach maximizes visible length.
Most webbing corrections are quick outpatient procedures under local anesthesia with sedation.
Same-day discharge is standard.
Correction is tailored to web severity and whether a fat pad coexists. Assessment distinguishes skin web from other causes of concealment.
Review of whether the web is congenital or acquired, what bothers you, and realistic goals.
Assessment on stretch and erection to measure the web’s effect on length and the penoscrotal angle.
Distinguishing the skin web from any fat-pad concealment that would need additional treatment.
Z-plasty design marked, combination with fat removal discussed if relevant, anesthesia chosen.
Mild webs need a simple Z-plasty; severe or combined cases need more reconstruction. Severity guides the plan.
Dr. Moon grades the web by how much it tethers and conceals, choosing from simple Z-plasty to combined release and fat removal.
Webbing correction heals quickly, but protecting the ventral suture lines ensures the release lasts.
Limit strenuous activity for 3–5 days while the ventral suture lines settle.
The penoscrotal area needs careful hygiene; follow wound-care instructions closely.
Avoid sexual activity for ~3 weeks so the release heals without tension.
Wear loose underwear to avoid friction and pressure on the healing area.
Avoid nicotine to support clean flap healing and reduce scarring.
WhatsApp photo updates let Dr. Moon confirm healing after you return home.
Penoscrotal webbing correction in Busan starts from $1,800 for a mild-to-moderate web. Severe webs or combination with fat removal range $3,000–$6,000.
All prices include consultation, the procedure, and 6-month WhatsApp follow-up.
Penoscrotal webbing is a fold of skin connecting the underside (ventral surface) of the penis to the scrotum. It can be congenital or develop after circumcision. The web conceals length and flattens the penoscrotal angle.
Releasing it exposes concealed length and improves the angle.
It exposes length that the web was concealing rather than adding true shaft length. Many men gain noticeable visible length and a much-improved penoscrotal angle. If a fat pad also conceals length, combining fat removal adds further exposure.
A straight-line closure would simply re-tether and recreate the web. Z-plasty reorients the scar into a zig-zag along natural tension lines, preventing recurrence and giving a durable, natural result.
Most patients return to office work in 3–5 days. The ventral suture lines heal over 2–3 weeks, with sexual activity paused for about 3 weeks. The final result settles over 6–8 weeks.
Plan for 5–7 days: consultation, surgery, early recovery, and a follow-up before flying. Subsequent healing is monitored via WhatsApp photo updates.
