To Snip The Frenulum, Or To Visit A Doctor For A Single Large Cut?

I read in a YouTube comment about someone visiting the doctor to remove the frenulum (rather than making small, weekly snips with a scalpel). This does seem to be an attractive prospect. To save time + it is less risky for infection.

I was wondering if anyone has any experiences to share, if they went to a doctor to undergo this procedure. How did you approach the doctor, and explain the situation? How was the procedure? And the healing process? Are you happy with the results.

Thank you for any replies

I've read that some people tell the doctor they are "tongue-tied" as a rationale. That can be a legitimate condition, but I understand that the corrective surgery is usually applicable to infants, and just removes a bit of the frenulum.

I would just tell the doctor the truth. They may find the idea of kechari a bit unusual, but doctors see/hear all kinds of things.

If someone claims they want ~all~ of their frenulum cut, that wouldn't make sense anyway for the tongue-tied condition, so they may think you're odd anyway.

When possible, it's best to tell the truth 🙂

I haven't gone to any doctor myself though, I went the scalpel route.

In his free to read book on page 19/20, Mahesvara talks about his experience visiting a doctor for this purpose (it was a very smooth procedure).

I've also known someone in Canada that booked an appointment for a doctor to snip away a large portion of the frenulum. He again told me the procedure was very smooth.

I do think the future of kechari will look like 80% plus of people visiting the doctor. Snipping by oneself will be considered the old-school way.

As long as you are living in a country with a good, available, affordable doctors ~ there doesn't seem to be any downside to having a professional perform the operation.

But if you live somewhere that it isn't possible/easy to a visit a doctor ~ then snipping yourself is no big deal. It is a very painless, gradual process. Going gradual is fine, because the tongue still needs to stretch itself over time. If you snip routinely, then the two (frenulum and the muscle of the tongue) can lengthen at roughly the same rate.
