Frenulum of the lip - Maxillofacial surgery

Qauestion:: Hello, I’d like to know if the short frenulum of the upper lip incision is conducted at your clinic and how much does this procedure cost? My gums are too visible when smiling and I’ve been advised to incise the frenulum.
Answer:

Greetings,
Frenulum of the lip is a thin mucous membrane that secures lips and tongue in a correct position.
Frenuloplasty is conducted in the case of the short frenulum.
Short frenulum of tongue or lip is a congenital anomaly that might cause the following:

  • Bite collapse;
  • Chronic mucosal trauma.
  • As a result of which, blood flow deteriorates and following develops:
  • Local periodontitis;
  • Gum recession. 

In our clinic, frenuloplasty is carried out on a complex basis. Concurrent involvement of orthodontist-dentist and maxillofacial surgeon is necessary. You may visit our clinic for the consultation with Maxillofacial Surgeon Shota Lobzhanidze. After objective assessment of the condition, highly qualified doctor of our clinic will serve you in accordance with modern guidelines.
