What Makes Dr. Levitin’s Lip and Tongue Release Unique?

When it comes to treating lip and tongue ties, experience, technique, and comfort matter. At NYC Tongue Tie, Dr. Gregory Levitin has created a completely unique approach to tongue and lip tie release that is transforming patient care across the country. As a board-certified otolaryngologist–head and neck surgeon, Dr. Levitin has performed more than 2,500 in-office release procedures, treating infants, children, and adults with exceptional precision and compassion.

Why Dr. Levitin’s Technique Stands Out

Unlike traditional surgical or laser-based treatments, Dr. Levitin’s method is non-surgical, pain-free, fast, and performed entirely in-office with no need for a hospital visit, general anesthesia, or sutures. His technique allows patients to experience immediate improvement in tongue mobility and feeding or speech function with minimal to no downtime.

Below, we explain what makes his procedure so unique to help you feel fully informed and confident about your care.

A Completely Non-Surgical, In-Office Approach

Most tongue tie procedures require lasers, cutting tools, stitches, or hospital settings.

Dr. Levitin’s method uses only a tiny amount of local anesthetic and a pair of precision surgical scissors, allowing the release to be completed safely and gently right in his Midtown Manhattan office.

Many parents worry about laser treatments near their infant’s mouth or sedation for young children. Adults often want to avoid surgery centers altogether.

Dr. Levitin’s approach avoids all of these concerns:

• No burning sensation
• No stitches
• No hospital setting
• No sedation risks

His method is designed for maximum comfort and safety at every age.

Immediate, Noticeable Results

The entire visit is brief, and the actual release typically takes less than 10 minutes. Parents appreciate the efficiency, especially when bringing infants or young children. Tongue or lip mobility improves the moment the restriction is released. Patients often notice:

• Better breastfeeding in infants
• Easier speech and articulation in children
• Improved oral mobility and reduced tension in adults

Because there are virtually no restrictions afterward, benefits begin right away. Dr. Levitin’s technique is so refined that most patients do not require a follow-up appointment. He provides simple aftercare instructions, and healing progresses naturally.

Who is a Candidate for This Procedure?

Dr. Levitin treats:

• Infants with breastfeeding challenges
• Children with speech, dental or feeding concerns
• Adults with lifelong tongue mobility limitations, jaw tension, snoring concerns, or oral discomfort

Every patient receives a personalized evaluation to determine if a release is recommended.
