Just wait...: Being six days after frenectomy is still too early to decide if the goal of the procedure is reached and settled. So, it's fair to give more time - at least 3-4 weeks, assuming no post-frenectomy infection or excessive inflammation. If any question, ask your urologist timely. Best wish...
