Tongue piercing

I'm thinking of piercing my tongue. Unfortunately I have a frenum that
goes well forward close to the tip of the tongue. I'd like to have the
piercing placed in the center, back from the tip. I've been told that
the piercing would have to be done to the side of the frenum - which I
wouldn't like. Is it possible to have the frenum cut? Is it healthy?
Would one end up swallowing one's own tongue, and maybe choking on it?
Should this be done by a physician? What kind of physician? Is this
done at all? Thanks

A quick Google turned up this:

hey just a quick one, is it poss to have my frenum cut without getting
a lisp or speech impedement?

Possible is a sticky wicket.
Yes. It’s possible. It’s also possible to get your tongue split with
no affects to your speech- but it’s also possible that you’ll thound
like thith. There’s really no way to guarantee it 100%.

is it probable?
Again- yes. It’s probable that you’re speech will totally unaffected
by having the lingual frenulum cut. Ankyloglossia (being “tongue
tied”) is common enough that performing a frenotomy (though unpopular
in some circles) is a medically approved option that carries with it
the hope of untethered movement of the tongue and improved speech.
