Abstract

Cosmetic tongue division is a procedure that has gained popularity in recent times. It is a procedure that carries risks, due to the myriad of vital anatomical structures in the region in question. The relevance of this case lies in the lack of regulation for the performance of this type of procedure by non-medical professionals, as well as possible complications.
