Why do you need tongue split surgery?

Everyone has a tongue, and we all know that the tongue is very important to us. The tongue can lead us to taste all kinds of delicious food. At the same time, the tongue plays a key role when we chew, because the tongue can continuously push food into our mouth. But some people also undergo tongue-splitting surgery. Why is that?

Tongue Split Surgery

Now, in order to attract other people's attention, some people have started a new attempt - tongue cutting, that is, making their tongue forked through surgery to achieve a purpose similar to a snake's tongue. Therefore, tongue-splitting surgery is also called "snake tongue" or "tongue-cutting surgery".

1. Hazards

However, due to the high risks of this surgery, even the medical community does not recommend it. This surgery has no benefit to the human body and is purely a form of "self-mutilation" in pursuit of fashion. One of the concerns is the risk of infection from germs entering the body through the mouth. In addition, the wound left after cutting the tongue will also affect a person's ability to express himself or herself, and there is also the possibility of bursting. So don't follow the trend blindly or try it easily. Why should you mess up your tongue like that?

2. "Wen" and "Wen" are homophones. "Tattoo" (in English: to tattoo) can also be written as "tattoo", also known as "tattooing". It is a process of piercing the bottom layer of the skin with a colored needle to create some patterns or words on the skin. It means piercing the skin and applying pigment to the wound to create a permanent pattern on the body.

The practice of creating raised, striped scars on the skin is sometimes called tattooing. Plain tattoos are practiced in most parts of the world. People with darker skin do not have this habit, and it has been relatively rare in China in the past few hundred years. Many ethnic groups believe that tattoos can prevent disease and ward off disasters. Some ethnic groups use tattoos to indicate status, identity or membership in a group, but the most common motivation is probably for beauty.

3. Tongue splitting itself does not cause any harm to the human body, but due to the high risk of this operation, it is not recommended by the medical community. What is worth worrying about is the risk of bacteria entering the human body through the mouth and causing infection.

There are many dangers of tongue splitting surgery. We need to be careful and not do anything that may harm our body. So do we understand the specific functions of the tongue and what it can help us do?
