Extra tissue under the tongue

Hello, my son Brody has isolated PRS he had the Lip to tongue adhesion (failed) and the jaw distraction. I've noticed that Brody has a lot of "extra tissue" under his tongue almost to the point that it looks like a second tongue. It has been this way since birth and his pediatrician and speech therapist do not really have any explanation for it. I was just curious to see if anyone else has noticed this in their children. I have not been able to find any mention of it in my PRS research. I appreciate your help
