A maxillary frenectomy is where the tissue that connects your upper lip to your gums is removed. The Only time you get it removed is when there is too much tissue. Too much tissue means your lip has only so much movement. If you are getting one, don't be scared. It's a really simple procedure. I hope this helped. Good luck
