A member asked:
Possible for a 11 month old get an upper lip frenotomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I suppose,but why: The upper lip frenulum will gradually stretch & fade over time or baby will fall on his face learning to walk & it will fix itself. I haven't seen one that required work in 3 decades, but have watched a few that looked like they might.
