Hydrocelectomy. Post-surgery saggy skin and fold

Hello,

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 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 appereance 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?
