Hello
Thanks for query .
Swelling at the site of suture line is common after circumcision due to edema of sub cutaneous tissue and normally it takes 4-6 weeks for complete healing and get normalized like a normal skin .

The frenulum which is tight now will become soft and supple once wound heals up completely .

Clean and wash your genital with warm water twice daily and apply soothing ointment like Neosporin or Betadine twice daily .

Thanks
Dr.Patil.
