Frenulectomy, Led by Doctors Who Specialise in Men's Health

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.

We’ve Refined Every Part of the Frenulectomy, So You Don’t Have to Think Twice

5/5

I had an excellent experience with Gentle Procedures for my vasectomy. The process was truly painless, just like they advertise. The doctor was incredibly kind and put me completely at ease during the procedure. We chatted about pickleball and our kids, which was a great distraction and made the whole experience feel much more comfortable. I really appreciated how professional and friendly the entire team was. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick and stress-free experience!

Such an amazing process from start to finish. The entire surgery only took about 4 mins, I had no pain, even during the freezing where you feel the needle. The healing process was amazing, definitely do nothing the first 3 days besides being on the couch and it will help with the healing going forward. The doctor was great, made me feel comfortable by chatting during the procedure to keep my mind distracted, that really helped.

I had my vasectomy at Gentle Procedures and I couldn't be more satisfied. I was extremely nervous, but the staff was incredibly professional and the doctor was very kind, taking the time to calm me down and explain that it would be a quick process. The procedure itself was completely painless and took only about 10 minutes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth and professional experience.

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.

The procedure was a no-needle and no-scalpel, they used the latest tech "jet sprayer" that numbs the area and I felt a mild fresh feeling "wet and cold" and everything else was virtually painless, I couldn't believe how efficient and professional the doctor was during the procedure and the wonderful staff who was extremely informative and explained what was to be expected.

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.

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.

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.

No. A circumcision removes the foreskin, whereas a frenulectomy only removes the frenulum and leaves your foreskin intact.

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.

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.

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.
