More Surgery


Princess here is scheduled for a Front Frenulectomy in November. According to the ENT it is a "2 second procedure" where they will lazer/cauterize her front frenulum, or the thick piece of skin holding her upper lip to her gum.
Hers is so huge, it literally is between her front teeth and is making a huge gap. Later on, it will cause orthodontia issues, and possibly speech problems so since we've already met our insurance deductible for the year, we may as well do it.
The procedure sounds simple. A little gas, a little cauterizing lazer, and we go home. I'm actually okay with this, and very comfortable. In another "it's a small world" moment, her ENT doing the surgery happens to be the husband of the Doc who did her eye surgery in July.
She is in good hands.

We talked about this while you were here. I never really noticed it though. Maybe because she was always eating! That little chick can pack away some food! :) I hope the surgery goes well.
