- WHY MEN CHOOSE GENTLE PROCEDURES
Plenty of clinics offer a frenulectomy. Few make it feel this easy.
We've built our service around the things that actually matter when something feels awkward to talk about: privacy, a clear price, and a specialist who has performed hundreds of frenulectomy procedures before yours.
Our frenulectomy pricing is all-inclusive and upfront. One clear figure covers your consultation, the frenulectomy itself and your follow-up care. There are no surprise add-ons and no invoice after the fact.
We also give you time. Your appointment is unhurried, so you can describe what's been happening and understand exactly what your frenulectomy involves before you decide. The procedure itself usually takes only minutes, but the care around it never feels rushed.
- QUIETLY EXCELLENT CARE, START TO FINISH
We've refined every part of the frenulectomy, so you don't have to think twice
A quick, gentle procedure
Your frenulectomy is carried out under local anaesthetic by a specialist surgeon and usually takes only a few minutes. You stay awake and comfortable throughout, and you're home the same day.

- YOUR MOST-ASKED QUESTIONS, ANSWERED HONESTLY
Frenulectomy: honest answers for men
Do I need a frenulectomy?
That's exactly what your consultation answers. A frenulectomy removes a tight, short or repeatedly tearing frenulum when it's the clear cause of your pain, bleeding or pulling during sex. Our specialist examines the area, confirms the frenulum is the problem, and only recommends a frenulectomy if it genuinely suits you, with no pressure to proceed.
What's the difference between a frenulectomy and a frenuloplasty?
A frenuloplasty lengthens the frenulum while keeping it in place, whereas a frenulectomy removes the frenulum entirely. A frenulectomy is often the better choice when the frenulum is very tight or scarred, or where lengthening alone wouldn't give a lasting result.
Is a frenulectomy the same as a circumcision?
No. A circumcision removes the foreskin, whereas a frenulectomy only removes the frenulum and leaves your foreskin intact.
Is a frenulectomy done under general anaesthetic?
No. Your frenulectomy is performed under local anaesthetic, so the area is fully numbed while you stay awake and comfortable, and you go home the same day.
Will my frenulectomy procedure hurt?
The frenulectomy itself should be pain-free, as the area is fully numbed. You may feel a brief sting as the anaesthetic goes in, and some mild tenderness afterwards, which usually settles within a few days with simple pain relief.
How soon can I return to normal life after my frenulectomy?
Most men are back to everyday activities within a day or two of a frenulectomy. We'll ask you to avoid sex and masturbation until the area has healed securely, and we'll tailor that advice to how you're recovering.
When should I seek urgent help after a frenulectomy?
Seek urgent advice if you have bleeding that won't stop with gentle pressure, spreading redness or worsening pain after the first couple of days, pus or an unpleasant smell, a fever, or difficulty passing urine. If you're ever worried after your frenulectomy, it's always safer to get in touch.

Real men. Real relief.
Hundreds of men have trusted us with procedures like frenuloplasty, frenulectomy, skin bridge removal and phimosis treatment that aren’t always easy to talk about. These are their words, and the reason we do what we do.
It really was a gentle procedure! My newborn had a circumcision done at the clinic at 3 weeks old. I was not planning on being in the room however the nurse said that my participation would be good for my son. I'm glad I was there because I was able to help in comforting him. The procedure was quickly and my son only cried for the freezing needle and not the actual procedure. The aftercare is also handled well; I called in with a question a few days later and it was answered promptly.

Procedure was very quick and staff was very friendly. It healed very nicely and we were able to send a picture instead of a follow-up appointment, which is very nice when you have a newborn and don’t have to go to an extra appointment.

To be fair, 5 star not enough to rate this amazing clinic. Don’t be hesitate to book with them and get a peace of mind staff are friendly, clean clinic and Dr Sing did amazing job, my son didn’t even cry and nothing to be worry about as they give you a clear instructions about post care and follow up after 7 days to make sure everything is going well.

I cannot recommend the Gentle Procedures Clinic highly enough! From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. The doctor was absolutely amazing-professional, reassuring, and incredibly skilled. The procedure itself was unbelievably quick and completely pain- free. I hardly noticed that I had undergone a procedure at all! Even afterward, I felt zero pain or discomfort, which was a pleasant surprise.

We took our newborn son into this clinic to be circumcised when he was two weeks old. As his mother, I felt so nervous and sick to my stomach at the thought of the procedure and I was dreading it! But everything at the clinic went very smoothly. We were checked in right away and put in a a private room immediately. The environment was very clean and quiet and the soothing music that they play made the environment very calming and peaceful as well.

The procedure was fast and painless. Everyone at the clinic is professional and welcoming. After the procedure and during my healing time any questions and concerns that I had was answered by the doctor promptly. The doctor went above and beyond to accommodate me in some small issues that I was having. Over all great experience and would recommend this clinic.
