Scar tissue remodelling
💥💥This post speaks for itself…
Take a good look at how this baby presented to clinic and swipe across to see how they progressed before they left clinic. 👀👀
Remodelling scar tissue occurs through adequate tongue movement and optimising function. Movement and tongue space helps the scar tissue to become more supple. If the tongue isn’t moving wel, the muscular structures contract and tighten and the scar tissue becomes a more sturdy/tight structure, further impacting the mobility.
‼️A reminder scar tissue can take up to 18 months to 2 years to heal, so the potential for it to tighten, and oral function deteriorate can occur many months after a tongue tie division.
Breastfeeding or bottle feeding alone is not the answer IF the latch is consistently shallow. As the muscles are not moving and engaging optimally therefore optimal mobility is limited. 🤱🏽🍼
😵💫 The consistent symptoms that show up at any point in time, maybe an indicator to seek further support and assessment.
The symptoms are your baby’s way of communicating that something may be a little off. 👶🏼
The inner feeling voice within, is your instinct telling you you’re right 💛
It’s ok to seek support and also ok to seek a second or third opinion if you need.
