Never say "never", Maria. It's possible. It's just that when there is one, always look for the other, as labial (labial) ties tend to go with a tongue-tie. In fact, it is wise to check for other midline defects, if only to rule them out. Examples: tongue-tie, lip tie, undiagnosed partial cleft of the soft palate. If you find on investigation that a baby has only the lip tie, tnothing else, hat's one lucky baby.
