Should I see another specialist? Should I seek removal from a colorectal surgeon? (Photo)

Question

I dislike this area of loose skin near my anus; I recently consulted w a top female genital plastic surgeon and he said he does not do that area . Should I seek removal from a colorectal surgeon? Is this a hemorrhoid? There is no pain I just find it unsightly. The Dr I consulted with was going to do a parneoplasty but said I didn’t need it, so maybe I should see a specialist for this body area?

hello, this is an excess skin in the region and the removal is very simple but the post care is very important. It needs to be done by a colorectal surgeon or general surgeon.

I would try ThermiVa or Thermismooth radiofrequency to tighten and smoothen the skin. Never tried it there before but I think it would help and may avoid risky surgery in this area.

If one "top" female genital plastic surgeon can't do a simple excision of an anal skin tag, go see another one or a cosmetic gynecologist. It's a quick procedure. I do most of these under local and usually in combination with other aesthetic procedures in the area.
