Tongue lengthening or lingual frenectomy - 12/29/2010 7:46:20 PM

What it is - oral surgeon makes a cut under the tongue where it's attached thereby enabling you to extend your tongue farther.  Does anyone have any experience with it? What I'm most curious about is how it will affect my speech and eating. Are there any bad side effects of having this surgery done?
How much further will I possibly be able to extend my tongue?

Thank you for any help...

But also you should know that this proceedure does not necessarily give you the ability to stick out your tongue further. In fact in some surgeries it actually shortens the tongue. In other cases you can stick your tongue out a few more millimeters. If you are thinking that your oral abilities are going to greatly increase, sorry its not going to happen.

If you want more than that, someone is going to have to go under the hood as it were, and check things out firsthand.

I was really looking for some info from someone who has had this procedure. I thought there might be a few people here who might have done this.

(You should not do this yourself but have it done by a professional plastic surgeon.)

Not sure if this was what you were looking for but hope I helped a bit.

That's it. I have been exercising and stretching it for a couple of years and it helped tremendously. I would like to add a little more...

You know, God(dess) gave us fingers for a reason.

I think the potential risks would probably outweigh whatever benefit you might gain.

The reason I know this is because I worked for an oral surgeon. They aren't going to do the procedure just for the sake of doing it. In most cases you have referred by your dentist or doctor.

Status: offline 		there are some body modification places that do this along with implants under the skin to make people look like they have horns or bumps. It's usually illegal but there are places to get this done. I know of a few. I have known a couple people with the tongue lengthening done but I didn't see their tongue being all that much longer and they both talk funny now imo lol.

If you have no real problems with being tongue tied I see no reason to have the surgery. My husband is tongue tied. He can't spit, whistle or stick his tongue out very far but he doesn't let it bother him. We have worked around it for so long that we never really notice it at all. Makes for interesting kisses lol

Good Luck.
