It was on a smaller scale, but I had a similar procedure done on my lower lip. There's a piece of flesh that attached the lower lip to the gum, toward the bottom of the gum. It was pulling on my gum and so needed to be cut back. I had it done under anesthesia last year (at 18) and it wasn't a problem.
I can imagine that the frenulectomy is similar but on a larger scale. I say talk with a doctor and, if given the OK, go for it.
