Elizabeth,

In all seriousness I've never heard of "closing up" the flap area. My dr's have always been good about writing up my procedures so they are taken care of...even when they may be considered more "cosmetic". So it's worth a shot to talk to the Dr if it's something you want to do. I say whatever makes you feel better.

Jerry, I perform biweekly at the Ugliest Drag Show on earth in Deliveranceville Idaho for extra spending money lol :))
