When it comes to social media influencers, they’ll do just about anything to stand out. And for one influencer, the key to making headlines was doing something quite unconventional – she cut off a part of her tongue to improve her kissing techniques. While not exactly a mainstream method for enhancing one’s intimacy skills, this influencer is convinced that the procedure has made her a much better kisser. In this article, we’ll explore the trend of extreme body modification and examine whether cutting off a part of your tongue can actually improve your kissing abilities.
Twenty-two-year-old influencer Rochelle Garett, known on Instagram as Xehli G (@xehli), recently opened up about how she struggled with her lingual frenulum, the tissue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. She claims it impacted her ability to flirt and enjoy kissing. Ms Garett has almost half a million followers, and in a bid to “improve” her kissing skills, she underwent surgery to have her lingual frenulum removed.
The procedure was necessary as her frenulum was too short, and this can cause issues with eating and chewing. Since the surgery, however, Ms Garett has claimed that she has felt much better and can finally enjoy kissing others. “It’s a really unique feeling. [Kissing] has been much better than any other kiss I’ve ever given in my life. Now it seems that my tongue is loose when kissing – before it was blocked. Whoever kissed me before must think that I didn’t know what I was doing,” Ms Garett told NudePR.com.
In her journey to get her optimal kissing experience, Ms Garett shared that she was bullied for the way she talks and received cruel comments from online trolls. These experiences also propelled her decision to undergo tongue surgery. She said, “I was bullied when I was younger because my speech was very compromised, and when I started making videos for the Internet, all the comments and teasing came back. I should have had this surgery when I was little, my paediatrician even recommended it, but my mother felt sorry for me at the time because of the pain. When I grew up, I was afraid to do it, and that’s why it took me so many years.”
Ms Garett documented her journey on Instagram as she underwent the surgery. In one of the clips she shared, she could be seen shedding tears as the pain intensifies. She has received a lot of support since sharing her journey, with many people applauding her bravery and sincerity.
Although the surgery helped Ms Garett overcome her problems with kissing and boosted her confidence, it is essential to note that there are potential risks involved. Complications such as excessive bleeding, infections, and problems with speech have been reported. The surgery should only be carried out by a qualified and experienced medical professional, and it should never be done for the sake of aesthetics.
In conclusion, while Ms Garett’s decision to have surgery to improve her kissing skills is personal, it is important to remember that there are consequences associated with any surgical operations. If an individual decides to undergo a procedure, it should be for the right reasons, and only done under the supervision of a qualified and trustworthy medical professional.
