Lip Frenum Undercutting (Improve Comfort And Lip Mobility)

· Those in Krakow looking to improve lip mobility.
· Those who want to correct gaps between upper front teeth.
· Those who want to reduce gum recession.
· Those who wish to improve speech clarity.
· Those who wish to enhance feeding ability.

Lip Frenum Undercutting, also known as frenectomy or frenotomy, is a simple surgical procedure that releases a tight or abnormally positioned labial frenulum – the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums. By loosening this tissue, the procedure improves lip mobility and helps address issues such as feeding difficulties in infants, gaps between the front teeth (diastema), gum recession, and speech problems.

The benefits of lip frenum undercutting include enhanced oral function, better dental alignment, improved speech clarity, easier feeding for babies, and improved oral hygiene. The procedure is typically quick, performed under local anesthesia, and has a fast recovery time.

Lip Frenum Undercutting is performed under local anesthesia for older patients or topical anesthesia for infants. The procedure involves releasing the tight labial frenulum – the small band of tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums – using precise surgical tools.

Depending on the case, the frenulum tissue is either fully separated or incised in specific shapes like a Z or V/Y to lengthen and loosen it. Laser treatments can reduce bleeding and discomfort, often eliminating the need for sutures. This controlled cutting allows the lip to move more freely, improving function and addressing related oral issues.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia will be administered.
3. An incision will be made in the labial frenulum.
4. The frenulum tissue will be released by cutting it or by incision.
5. The surgical site may be left to heal or sutured.
6. Post-care instructions will be provided.

<Advantages>

· Allows clearer pronunciation
· Improves feeding in infants
· Enhances oral hygiene

<Limitations>
· May not fully resolve issues if other underlying oral or dental problems exist
· In some cases, the frenulum may reattach or not released enough

· Fasting may be required for at least 6 to 8 hours before procedure

Q1: How long does it take for Lip Frenum Undercutting to heal?
A1: Healing usually begins within a day or two, with most patients recovering fully in about 1 to 2 weeks.

Q2: Can a lip frenulum grow back?
A2: In some cases, the lip frenulum tissue may partially regrow or reattach, which could require additional treatment, but this is relatively uncommon.

Q3: Does Lip Frenum Undercutting change face shape?
A3: No, the procedure only affects the small band of tissue under the lip and does not alter the overall shape of the face.

Q4: Can lip frenulum cause gum recession?
A4: Yes, a tight or abnormally positioned frenulum can pull on the gums, potentially causing gum recession and exposing tooth roots.

Q5: Will the lip droop after Lip Frenum Undercutting?
A5: No, the procedure releases tension in the frenulum but does not affect the muscles controlling lip movement, so the lip will not droop.
