Functional and aesthetic improvement through upper labial frenectomy.case report

Long upper lip frenulums are bands of tissue that connect the upper lip to the gums and are longer than normal. This can cause functional and aesthetic difficulties. To correct this problem, an upper lip frenectomy can be performed, which involves removing or modifying the upper lip frenulum through a simple surgical procedure with quick recovery. A case is reported of a 21-year-old female patient who attended a consultation with complaints of difficulty in upper lip mobility, altered speech, and aesthetic dissatisfaction. After a thorough evaluation, it was determined that the patient had a long upper lip frenulum that limited lip mobility and affected oral function. An upper lip frenectomy was performed as a treatment, with the main purpose being the removal of the frenulum insertion fibers through a simple and minimally invasive surgical procedure.
