 | | A needle with a thin strong thread is pricked underneath the frenulum. | | | Cutting by means of tying up the frenulum makes a much nicer — later on even invisible — scar. | | | The skin needs time to get accustomed to the new situation and strech appropriately. |

| | Frenulum breve - no reason for circumcision |
| | In the case of a thin frenulum (has a string of skin like a hem) when it rips tiny flaps of skin may be left behind which then recede into the shaft skin below the glans. | | | Frenulum breve affects around 5% of uncircumcised men - and can lead to extremely painful cuts and tears in the foreskin. | | | This, he explained, restricts movement of the foreskin over the head of the penis, leading to soreness, bruising and occasionally a small but painful tear. |

| | Several surgical methods are available but whichever method is used, frenulum should be divided up to the genioglossus muscle and raw area is covered with Z-plasty or V-Y plasty or transverse-vertical frenuloplasty to avoid recurrence of tongue-tie(10). | | | There is no place for clipping or snipping the frenulum without anesthesia especially in the newborn, as adequate division cannot be achieved by this method. | | | The appropriate age is when the surgeon is convinced that it needs to be done in the best interest of the patient. |

| | When bottle-feeding became the norm in our country, physicians were taught that clipping the frenulum was an unnecessary procedure, and physicians were no longer taught this procedure during medical training. | | | While tongue-tie continues to be a source of controversy between health care providers, it is a very real phenomenon for which breastfeeding parents need a very real and a very quick solution in order to be successful. | | | Many physicians believe that injecting the tongue with a local anesthetic is more invasive and painful than doing a quick clip and then allowing the baby to nurse. |

| | Most of the current literature recommends that the frenulum not be clipped with sterile scissors or scalpel, as was the tradition at one time, but rather that either a laser frenulectomy or a Z-plasty under general anesthesia be performed (Godley, 1994; Pediatric Surgery Update, 1996). | | | An infant with growth failure or failure to thrive should undergo a complete physical examination with particular emphasis on observation of feeding method by the primary caretaker and an evaluation of the ability to effectively suck and swallow. | | | The criteria for diagnosis is based upon observation of lingual mobility; no current specific indications for surgery are emphasized in either the dental or medical literature reviewed (Godley, 1994). |

| | Some tongue-tied babies are able to nurse effectively, depending on the way the frenulum is attached, as well as the individual variations in the mother's breast. | | | Of more immediate importance is the negative impact that a tight frenulum can have on a baby's ability to breastfeed effectively. | | | Tongue-tie is congenital (present at birth) and hereditary (often more that one family member has the condition). |

| | If, when you retract the foreskin, there is any resistance from the frenulum - and especially if there is pain when you slick the skin all the way back down the shaft - then the frenulum MUST be removed. | | | Cutting the frenulum and a thorough circumcision has completely cured the problem. | | | One - I wanted the frenulum completely cut away (even though it was very sensitive) since it was kind of tight and didn't allow my foreskin to retract very far behind the head without tension on it. |

| | Frenulum breve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The condition is treated either by a reparative plastic surgery operation called a frenuloplasty, or by complete circumcision including removal of the frenulum (frenectomy). | | | Healing is complicated due to the moist condition of the area which restricts healing. | | | Frenulum breve is the condition in which the frenulum preputii penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the prepuce (foreskin) and helps contract the prepuce over the glans, is short and restricts the movement of the prepuce. |

| | Tongue-tie is the result of a short fibrous lingual frenulum or a highly attached genioglossus muscle 4, affecting from 0.02% to 4.4% of newborn infants 11-13. | | | During early development, the tongue is fused to the floor of the mouth. | | | The lingual frenulum usually becomes less prominent as a natural process of the child's growth and development, when the alveolar ridge grows in height and the teeth begin to erupt 9. |
