What's the better option for frenuloplasty stitchless or with stitches? Are there any side effects I should know about and how much does the surgery usually cost?

For frenuloplasty, a stitchless procedure using a laser or other advanced techniques is generally considered a better option due to quicker recovery, less pain, and reduced risk of infection compared to traditional methods using stitches. Side effects can include mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which usually subside within a few days. The cost of frenuloplasty in India typically ranges from INR 30,000 to INR 35,000, but can vary depending on the clinic and specific procedure.
