Post hydrocele surgery loose saggy skin and fold

Hello,

I'm 28 years old. I'm almost one year post hydrocelectomy surgery. My hydrocele wasn't too big, the main reason I decided to have surgery was aesthetics and the fact that I could feel my testicle bump into my partner during sex.

I had the hydrocele for around 1 year and a half before I had the surgery. I had a small hematoma after surgery which is gone now.

I wanted to ask anyone who has had this surgery or any professional if they know whether the saggy skin that can be seen in these pictures I attach will go away. I'm concerned about the skin below the testicle and the fold in the middle caused by saggy extra skin at the place where the incision was (there is no visible scar when stretching the skin).

This is the appearance it has had for the past 6-7 months with no visible improvement.

If the skin will shrink, how long will this take? If it won't, can it be fixed by plastic surgery or is this advised against?

I had my surgery last July. My hydro was about the size of a golf ball. I wouldn't let it bother you. And really...are you that vain that you would have plastic surgery on your ball sac?  Come on Steve....live and live!

Getting my done on Monday.

Mine is the size of an orange although not as round.

The least of my worries is a bit of skin hanging off the sack. I've had this thing for over a decade (yes, 10 years) and just now getting around to "fixing" it.

I do have a question for all who've had surgery: did your hydrocele come back? My Doc claims that there is a small chance of it coming back since it was due to a sports injury (hernia). Man, really hoping that it doesn't. Also, what sort of pain can I be expecting post op? Again my doc claims that it will be minimal, I have a hard time believing that.
