Dr. Wade sent me Ameliya's photos that they took the day of her lip/tongue tie revision. Obviously she was angry. Please know that while it's hard for mama to know she was upset, they only had her back in the room for about 8 minutes tops and it was, in my book, a completely necessary procedure. There were three adults all for her, and they made her as comfortable as she could be, whilst being angry.
I have requested the pics from her consult as well, as I think he took photos of the rare side ties. If they are able to send them I will update the post.
Ties before:

tongue tie, before
lip tie, before
The "during/after"
Ameliya is still a bit touchy about her mouth but tonight when Mike gets home and we do her stretches I'll see if I can get some more after pics. It's healing SO nicely!!
I'm so grateful Dr. Wade identified and revised the tongue tie in addition to the lip tie. While I was focused on the more visible lip tie I think it's the tongue revision that is making the most difference in her ability to nurse well and keep my supply.
