Treatment of snoring and sleep apnea
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that temporarily stops airflow through the airways during sleep. It can lead to a number of serious health problems, such as a decrease in the amount of oxygen supplied to the body that affects the cardiovascular system, and can lead to fatigue, headaches, lack of concentration, and other problems. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive apnea, which results from blocking the airways by narrowing or blocking them completely.

Questions and answers about frenulum incision (frenotomy)
What is frenotomy (frenulum cutting) and when is it needed?
Frenotomy, or frenulum cutting, is a simple and minimally invasive procedure used to treat ankyloglossia, i.e. a shortened sublingual frenulum. An indication for frenotomy is limited tongue mobility, which can lead to difficulties in feeding infants, problems with pronunciation and abnormal development of the speech apparatus. This treatment helps to improve the function of the tongue and eliminate the associated health problems.
What are the symptoms of shortened frenulum in infants and children who may require frenotomy?
A shortened frenulum in babies can cause difficulties in breastfeeding, such as problems with proper nipple grip, poor sucking or rapid tiredness of the baby. In older children, it can lead to speech defects, especially when pronouncing sounds that require raising the tongue (e.g. “l”, “r”). In addition, it can cause problems with free movement of the tongue, which affects speech development and eating comfort.
At what age can a frenotomy be performed? Is frenotomy in adults possible?
Frenotomy can be performed already in newborns and infants if the shortened frenulum makes feeding difficult. In children, the procedure is recommended in the case of speech difficulties or orthodontic problems. In adults, frenotomy is also possible, especially if limited tongue mobility causes muscle tension, discomfort, or difficulty speaking. In each case, the decision about the procedure is made by a specialist after a thorough consultation.
How does the frenotomy procedure work privately in Warsaw? Is the procedure painful?
Frenotomy is a quick procedure performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes a few minutes and is practically painless. After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to daily activities, and in infants, breastfeeding can be started immediately.
What are the recommendations after frenotomy? How long does recovery take?
After frenotomy, it is recommended to perform special tongue exercises to prevent frenulum from growing again. In the case of infants, breastfeeding can be continued immediately. The recovery period is short – usually a few days, and it takes about 1-2 weeks to fully heal. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions to ensure the best results from your therapy.
What are the possible complications after frenotomy?
Frenotomy is a safe procedure, but like any medical procedure, it can come with some risks. Rare complications include infection, minor bleeding, or regrowth of the frenulum if the recommended exercises are not performed. In a few cases, it may be necessary to correct the procedure if the first frenotomy did not bring the expected results.
Is it necessary to consult a speech therapist or other specialist before frenotomy?
Yes, a pre-surgery consultation is recommended, especially for older children and adults. The speech therapist can assess the effect of the shortened frenulum on speech and recommend appropriate exercises after the procedure. In the case of infants, it is worth consulting a lactation consultant to assess whether feeding problems are due to ankyloglossia. Specialist diagnostics allows you to choose the best treatment plan.
How much does frenotomy cost in Warsaw at LIFE? Does the price include consultation and follow-up visits?
The cost of frenotomy in Warsaw at LIFE depends on the method of surgery and the age of the patient. The price includes a consultation before the procedure and a follow-up visit to monitor the effects of the treatment. In the case of infants, an additional lactation consultation is often recommended. A detailed price list of the treatment is available on our website or when contacting the reception.
