Can adults have tongue-tie surgery?

Yes, adults can have it too. If you feel your tongue is tethered, your pronunciation is unclear, or you have difficulty putting your tongue out, improvement can be expected regardless of age from a simple procedure under local anesthesia. It usually takes about 10 minutes and the return to daily life is quick. Note, though, that adults have long-established speech habits, so pronunciation may not change immediately from surgery alone; combining it with tongue exercises and pronunciation practice is advisable if needed.
