DISCLAIMER: The observation course is created for educational purposes to help providers improve their frenectomy and frenuloplasty techniques. This opportunity does not prove competency in surgical skill sets needed to perform surgical procedures. Providers must obtain their own licensing according to local and state government requirements. We recommend that new providers begin performing these procedures under the supervision of a qualified proctor before attempting to do any of these procedures alone.
