I had a "submental island flap" performed as part of the reconstruction from my hemi-glossecotomy on January 21, 2011. All is good except there is significant hair growth on my tongue. According to the surgeon the submental island flap is a relatively new procedure and he is suggesting a follow up laser surgery under general anesthesia to deal with the hair growth. Does anyone have experience with this or even heard of it?
