You know that piece of tissue that connects your upper lip to your gums above your teeth? That strip of tissue ran all the way down to her gum-line, between her front teeth. Any time she'd bump her lip, it would always bust open and bleed. It was always painful for her to take shirts off, if they brushed up against her lip! When she smiles, you don't see her upper front teeth.
Here she is right before her procedure...very excited!
My pretty little girl!
Getting ready, watching a Princess Movie on the overhead screen...they totally didn't have this kind of thing when we were kids!
Numbing gel doing it's job, Nitrous (AKA: "the Princess Nose") doing it's job... ;o)
The procedure was very quick and painless! They used a water-laser and sliced it right up to where it should be! Addy looked like she was levitating while laying on the chair, she said she felt like she was floating in the ocean!
We came home and went about business as usual! Addy looks like she got a collagen injection in her lip, and the swelling should subside over the next few days...here is a not so great shot of her this morning, she still doesn't quite know what to do with that big, fat lip!
After seeing her lip once everything was all said and done, I felt bad getting it corrected, like I was ruining her smile, but after a few days, I know it will look normal again, and it's for the best, getting it taken care of sooner than later!
