Should I get the tongue tie procedure done for my 5 week old?

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but my son has a 75% anterior prominent tongue tie. However he feeds well (breastfed only), the latch isn’t painful etc and has gained weight effectively. His gas etc has improved and he sleeps well etc He is generally a happy baby. We think perhaps he has just adapted well to his restricted tongue movement. Do we still need to get the procedure done? Really worried about the recovery process

I would, I’ve heard recently that it can cause issues as they get older such as pain and lisp etc, I’d rather do it now than a few years down the line

I he is otherwise healthy, happy and growing, why would he need a surgical intervention? What does his paediatritian say? What do you think?

ETA: I ask genuinely, not passive agressively 😂
