Frenulum Surgery (Frenulectomy) Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
When a frenulum (tongue or lip) is too short or tight and limits movement, feeding, or speech, a frenulectomy is considered. This minor surgery cuts or releases the frenulum to improve its function.
What is it for? It helps correct problems such as difficulty breastfeeding in infants, gaps between teeth, or restricted tongue mobility.
What does it include? It is a brief procedure, with local or general anesthesia depending on age and the case; recovery is usually quick.
Who performs it? Depending on the area and age, it is carried out by a pediatric surgeon, a pediatrician, or a urologist (for genital frenula). It is best for a specialist to review the case and explain whether surgery is advisable.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
