A member asked:
Can you tell me if i could have a tongue plastic surgery to get rid of my lisps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lisps: Don't know of any such procedure. Therapy can help with muscular aspect of speech and orthodontics or dental work may be of benefit. Jaw plastic surgery (orthognathic) can change the position of the teeth relative to reach other but is mostly used to affect chewing. Would start with a speech therapist.
