Our Lip-Tie Release Method
Scissor Frenectomy
A precise snip with sterile scissors releases the restrictive frenulum in seconds. This lip tie procedure is a simple and effective form of lip tie surgery, offering minimal bleeding, no stitches, and natural healing. It is also a trusted alternative to laser frenectomy techniques depending on the case.
Comfort-First Pain Management
Local anesthetic plus oral sucrose soothes the baby, while gentle swaddling keeps movement to a minimum during the frenectomy for lip tie procedure.
Precision Assessment
We photograph and chart the frenulum pre- and post-procedure to illustrate lip tie vs. normal range of motion for caregivers and lactation consultants, supporting accurate lip tie correction outcomes.
