Laser Frenectomy
CO2 Laser Procedure to Correct Tongue Tie
What is a Frenectomy?
A Frenectomy is a tongue-tie and lip-tie corrective laser surgery. A pronounced tongue-tie or lip-tie can create serious problems while breastfeeding. A frenectomy corrects the problem and allows normal movement while nursing.
Problems with Breastfeeding
This video goes over why breastfeeding difficulties may occur due to infant factors. Tongue-tie and upper lip-tie may lead to ineffective breastfeeding which can be easily and quickly corrected without sedation.
Precise Lasers
Lasers are very precise in where they cut tissue. This allows for a fast and pleasant tongue tie or lip tie correction.
Fast Procedure
We can perform the Frenectomy in our office, and without the need of general anesthesia.
Reduced Risks
CO2 Lasers drastically reduce the risk of bleeding because the laser energy cauterizes as it cuts. Lasers are also completely sterile which reduces the risk of infections.
