What kind of insights did your surgeon gain from a physical examination of your privates during consult?

I had a couple of in person consults with different crane center surgeons and they never asked me to pull down my pants to show anything. I’m scheduled for in person consults at NYU and OSHU far out and they said it’s mandatory that I go in person (no online consults accepted) because they have to do a physical examination of my surgical site in order to offer accurate predictions of the surgery results. Now I’m wondering how were the crane center able to predict what my results would look like without examining me? What kind of comments or insights did your surgeon put forward from the genital physical exam during your consult? Thank you.
