View allMy 6 months old son has been advised by his Pediatrician for TongueTied surgery. I wanted to understand that whether this is done by Surgeons or Pediatricians also can conduct this. How long is the surgical procedure and cost of it.
Tongue-tie surgery, or frenotomy/frenuloplasty, can be performed by both surgeons and pediatricians. The procedure is typically quick, lasting only a few minutes, and can be done in a doctor's office. The cost of the procedure can vary depending on the location and the chosen method, but in India, it typically ranges from 5,000 to 25,000 INR.
