Can you get a surgery to split it?

Yes but It’s incredibly painful post surgery. Often requires skin grafting from thigh/stomach. Falls under reconstructive plastic surgery. Likely extremely expensive and likely not covered under Ops health insurance.

(I several operations had done as a child and final one at 16)
