Description

aser frenuloplasty is a minor surgical procedure using a laser to release or modify a tight or restrictive frenulum—a band of tissue that can limit movement. It’s commonly performed in: Mouth (Lingual or Labial Frenulum): For tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie, affecting speech, feeding, or dental health. Penis (Penile Frenulum): For frenulum breve, causing pain or tearing during erections or intercourse. ⚙️ Procedure Overview ✅ Before the Surgery: Typically done in a clinic or outpatient setting. Local anesthesia is used (sometimes sedation for young children). Takes about 15–30 minutes. 🦷 For Tongue or Lip (Oral Frenuloplasty): The laser precisely cuts the tight frenulum tissue. Laser cauterizes as it cuts → minimal bleeding. The wound may be left open to heal or closed with a few dissolvable stitches. 🍆 For Penile Frenuloplasty: The frenulum under the glans penis is gently cut with the laser. Bleeding is controlled with laser cauterization. Absorbable stitches may be used in some cases. 🌟 Benefits of Using a Laser Benefit Minimally invasive- No scalpels or deep incisions. Reduced bleeding-Laser cauterizes blood vessels. Faster recovery-Less trauma to surrounding tissue. Lower risk of infection-Closed or semi-closed wound, minimal bleeding. Often Sutureless-Especially in oral cases.
