>>You can have a dorsal slit done, where they make a vertical slit on the forskin and when they make the cut they stretch it open then they sitch the cut.

I don't follow this - the purpose of the stretching exercises is to make new skin grow to allow for looseness and mobility. How is cutting then sewing back together going to add additional skin? I know you said that the skin would be stretched before it is sewn back, but there is the same amount of skin (since new skin takes time to grow), so it is hard to see where the additional looseness would come from. It's not like letting out the seams of your suit after all. It seems like it would have the same springiness as before and snap right back to its prior state. If it were sewn back at an angle from original, then there would be some strange loose flaps. How does this work?
