An influencer has detailed how she cut off part of her tongue to ‘improve’ her kissing skills.

Rochelle Garett, who has nearly half a million followers on Instagram, known as Xehli G (@xehli), recently opened up about how the muscle has affected her life.

The 22-year-old, thought to be from Brazil, has now had her lingual frenulum (tissue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth) sliced off, as it was too short, which can cause issues with eating and chewing.

But the social media personality claimed it also impacted her confidence as she struggled to flirt and couldn’t enjoy kissing.

Since having her lingual frenulum removed, Rochelle said she has never felt better and can finally enjoy smooching others.

‘[Until I had the surgery], I felt like I had never kissed anyone for real,’ she said. ‘It’s a really unique feeling. It [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.’

The content creator previously shared that she was bullied for the way she talks and received cruel comments from trolls online, which also inspired her to have tongue surgery.

Rochelle admitted: ‘I was bullied when I was younger because my speech was very compromised.

‘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.’

Rochelle documented her journey on social media as she went through the painful procedure, with one clip racking up over 46,000 likes.
