There are no more issues experienced.
I've been applying the créme 2 times daily with progressing result since the follow-up; the scar used to feel stirdy and tensed.
Sex has been possible the last weeks without discomfort using condoms; the friction caused some small discomfort while penetrating, so I decided to go with condoms to take care of the friction.
Right now, this doesn't pose any problem anymore; normal intercourse is possible without any experienced discomfort as pain, pulling, burning sensation or sense of strain. The scar itself is barely visible, it's just a bit of a weird view without the frenulum.
There is a sense of lessened "pleasure", but this might be purely psychological (on my part and my girlfriends') as we need to get used to be (able again to) having "normal sex" again. And ofcourse the fact there has been cutting and stitching, it all might need to get used to gentle (sexy and hot) carress again.
I got my bill for this operation, which totalled to 70€. Reasonable amount to regain your sexlife.

Day 35: Follow up appointment
In short:
* Intercourse without condom is painful: rolling back the foreskin is without discomfort, anything beyond that causes a sharp burning pain. (the pain pulling on my frenelum used to be a numb pain)
* Intercourse with condom or masturbation is no problem
* Day to day activities are as always
* Not sure what caused the cut/rip; In the way I've lived it, I received small cuts causing my foreskin to scar and losing flexibility (which I've threated with a creme and would heal within a couple of days) Until a critical point was reached and my frenelum ripped entirely. While removing the contractive coil, it was at that moment clear the thick nylon threads could be a definate cause. By the time I went to see the urologist, it was already scarred up and tensed up.
The appointment was quick: I explained the swelling and how the threads have "dissapeared a week ago". He seemed a bit surpriced, so I was worrying for nothing. (and mistook his "after 3 weeks you can resume sexual activity")
While inquiring whether it's a common problem where the contractive coil had been malplaced, causing penile damage in order to know whether my gf can use the same anticonception (the hormonal ring is causing problems).
He brushed off my question to look at the result of the operation. I persisted later to be received with the explination it was a "combination of circumstances". According to him, my frenelum would always have been too short even though I never had any problem in 14 years of sexual activity.
After I had explained how the scar-tissue is pulling and is giving a sharp pain during intercourse he prescribed me cream to make the scartissue soft, which would speed up the healing. He mentioned I wouldn't need to pass by him anymore and would make a report for my general doctor.
Where to go from here?
I guess waiting it out a bit and continue with the creme and condoms.
And stop putting my penis inside someone when it causes some discomfort, even slight.

Day 24: post frenuloplasty impressions
Because I started to get fed up with the threads, I've ignored them causing them to dissapear during intercourse.
There is some discomfort without the threads during intercourse; I feel I need to be still careful. A condom helped alot in order to have some sort of regular intercourse.
The first changes I notice is that I don't "feel an erection" anymore. Where I've grown used to feel an erection pull at my frenulum, giving a sense of the type of erection by the tensions at the frenulum. Now I feel completely nothing of the sort.
As for pleasure; I cannot judge yet as I'm very careful, obtaining orgasm isn't a problem but it took noticably longer. (logical with being careful)

Day 21: FREEEEEDOOOOOOOM
I got fed up: 3 weeks should've been enough.
The last consulted doctor would call me back in the weekend, he didn't. He was slow and insecure. And couldn't give me any other information my body would be in the "2 percentile" which is "probably less acidic" causing the threads to remain after 3 weeks. He wanted to get a second opinion on the next action.
On monday I called him up to get news, but it took a while before it "rang a bell" who I was. Trust 0% instantly. (I switched doctors because I'm mobile and need to gain time: in the morning a doctors appointment takes up to 3 hours waiting, which means I would need to take a holiday just to get a quick peek and to ease my mind.)
I started ignoring the threads this weekend in any (sexual) activity, today all but two have come off, day 21.

Day 19
The threads are still there, which is getting annoying as I'm approaching mark "week 3" and I have a romantic weekend with my girlfriend. (week 3 would be the end of abstinence)
So I'm going to pass an doctors office to get them cut out.
The last doctors intervention, I was told; "if they stay around after a week, I'll cut them for you" but I didn't want to miss a day of work waiting in his office and reasoned they would fall out soon enough.
I'll search a doctor on my route home and be liberated of this penile burden.
(The random doctor I've consulted wanted to gain information with a colleague to make sure before intervention: I'm at the 2% of people with a lower acidity slowing down the dissolving of the stitches. He would call me on monday with a verdict, week 3-mark. If they cut, I hope my gf is ready.)

Day 14
The threads are soft, white and plushy.
A nice red line is visible where the cut has been made.
The foreskin has settled back to normal and has healed (it took me a week before rolling it back. I made the mistake not doing it earlier.)
Hoping the threads will fall out soon.
According to the urologist sexual activity should be possible and allowed next week, so I suspect they will.
There is no day-to-day discomfort other as abstinence.

Day 11
No discomfort.
Sex isn't possible with the threads, nor normal stimulation.
Yet my girlfriend managed to bring me to my heightpoint (everything was, understandably, supersensitive) with alot of patience.
Relief, astronomical.
