had this done 9 weeks ago. Tip of my tongue has been burning/tingling ever since and is numb. Still taking

how much does this cost? I'm 21, and I also have ankyloglossia. I only sometimes get tongue-tied, and I don't have a lisp, however, it still bothers me. To any professionals out there: If I do get the surgery is it possible that my new free tongue could negatively impact my speech...as in, will I have to relearn control over my tongue to produce certain sounds? Also, I've seen this procedure done by a laser, and they advertise no bleeding or stitches because the cut is immediately cauterized.

I just got mine cut today, about 8 hours ago. Being a 27 year old man, my frenulum was quite fibrous so the doc had to cauterize a bit and applied about 8 stitches. The procedure was pain-free (though the anesthesia hurt a bit). It took about 25 mins the operation. It hurst quite a lot now, but the result is immediate: my tongue is going places (or was, while it was numb) I could never reach before.

I had no idea why my 5 year old was having a hard time saying certian things, but as soon as I looked in her mouth, you could clearly see she was tongue tied. A simple trip to the ENT, and it was s imple outpatient procedure for her. she loves being able to stick her tongue out. i am jsut glad we did it early rahter than too late...
