Hey guys,

I’m kind of using you as a (close to) last resort. I really hope you can help me.

I’m looking for someone in/near/traveling to Alberta, or somewhere near it, that is competent in splitting tongues. I’ve searched BME and Google for practitioners, and the few that I’ve found refuse to respond to me (for reasons I’m unaware of).

I’d prefer to go to a cosmetic or dental surgeon, but I haven’t been able to find any of those willing to do this either.

Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys.

There are a lot of reputable studios in Edmonton, Alberta who may be able to direct you to an artist who can do a tongue split. I would suggest you call around (or better yet, visit) a couple of them and you should get the answer you’re looking for. Many artists who can do this kind of procedure are uncomfortable corresponding via anonymous email do to the nature of this particular modification.

There are obvious advantages to being a BME/Extreme member- one of which is access to the Hood Splitting section. In said section one might find the names of practitioners who do this particular modification, as most people wouldn’t and don’t openly advertise it.

Tongue Splitting

I’m looking to get my tongue split by an oral surgeon. Before I start contacting doctors I wanted to ask here and see if anyone know of any oral surgeons in NY (more specifically on long island if possible) that would do it. If no one does know of anyone what would be the best way to go about asking? I was also going to get my wisdom teeth pulled would it be best to ask when I call to make an appointment for that (I figured it would be best to do the split and pull my teeth at the same time if they are willing to do it )?

Unfortunately the chances of finding a doctor to say: “Yes I will split your tongue for you” over the phone,etc is going to be non-existent.

When you’re booking the appointment for your wisdom teeth, don’t toss into the convo: “Oh yeah and I’d like to have my tongue split too, while were there.”

Ultimately its about tactfully slipping the concept into the doctors mind, when you are face to face. So book your appointment for your wisdom teeth. Normally when you book the appointment its for a consultation so the Oral Surgeon can see the situation before the teeth extraction. I’d say if anything during that consultation regarding your teeth, bring it casually up to them privately. Discuss the matter with them and see what they say, and ask many many “why” questions if they refuse. Now that doesn’t just mean you keep saying: “But why not?” Instead just think up logical responses to what they say to you.

Also I’d strongly advise looking into the law aspect and using that as a grounds for them to actually do it. Find out what cities/states have banned tongue splitting procedures, unless performed by a licensed practitioner,etc. Armed with that information bring all the research up to the oral surgeon,etc.

Another avenue is consulting with Plastic/Cosmetic/Re-Constructive Surgeons. You don’t have to specifically state what you want the Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon to do for you, until you meet them. If asked just inform them that there’s a couple things you’d like to talk to the practitioner about in regards to possible work,etc. Then when in the room the Plastic/Cosmetic/Re-Constructive Surgeon and yourself can go over the idea of splitting your tongue.

Know that ultimately these people are going to quite possibly label you with the crazy labeller. But by getting yourself informed and educated and handling yourself in a mature manner, you might just prove them wrong.

hello

im from iowa city, iowa and im planing on getting my tongue split in a medical Environment. how do i find some one suited for this task?

Hi,

I to am someone who is very interested in obtaining a tongue split, but like you I’d like to go the medical environment avenue. The hard part is based on various rules and regulations the medical world is bound by in the USA, not to mention the medical practitioners personal beliefs (ie: even though you want a procedure and are sane, a doctor can try to veto it with their own ethical/moral/personal beliefs reasons).

I am unsure of Iowa’s laws however I do know various states in the US have laws in place that prohibit the procedure of a Tongue Split being performed by anyone that isn’t a medical practitioner. In my eyes this gives individuals who desire a tongue split, a loop hole they can actually cite. Because if the state is declaring the procedure has to be done by a medical practitioner, that means there is no reason for them to refuse the procedure.

As a plastic surgeon in the movie Modify said, just flipped a bit to make a point: “By telling me what I(average every day person) can’t do. You are essentially telling me (the plastic surgeons) what I CAN do.”

So first and foremost I’d suggest get yourself educated on the Iowa state laws regarding Tongue Splits, if they have any. From there locate a reputable plastic/re-constructive surgeon and have a consultation with them. Make sure you have any and all of the information you researched on you so you can cite it, etc (ie: if there IS a law prohibiting tongue split procedures by non-medical practitioners). Because by educating yourself on this matter and really looking into it, will eliminate the “they’re nuts!” attitude they might usually brandish someone with. However certain medical practitioners will always have that view potentially, based on their own personal beliefs.

Another avenue to potentially look into is Oral Surgeons as well, as they are also another option to sit down and discuss the matter with…I just originally stated Plastic Surgeons because I know of non-American ones that are willing to perform the procedure if someone wants their tongue split.

But as I said, in states that have specific tongue split laws, there can be loop holes around the legal system that will enable to medical practitioner to perform the procedure. Which I personally feel SHOULD be a procedure available via plastic surgeons,etc. Because with the amount of implants, lifts, removals,etc they do on a daily basis, I personally think a tongue split would be a much more simple and easy procedure for them.

You might be met with some resistance in regards to the medical practitioner front, so be prepared for that. But if you don’t educate yourself on the laws and search out a medical practitioner, you simply will never know unless you try…right?

I am seriously considering a tongue splitting using the scalping method and the only worry i have is how it affects speech. I realize that while it is healing my speech will be affected but i am wondering how badly it affects speech fully healed.

Thanks

Jacob

The degree to which tongue splitting affects speech varies from person-to-person. Most people who have their tongue split end up having no noticeable difference in their speech once things have healed and they have adjusted to the split. Some people experience a small difference in their speech, but even the it’s often so slight that only they, or people that know them really well, will even notice.
