Every case is going to be different so where I've had a mandiblectomy I didn't have any soft palate work done. Also understand that the Mayo Clinic is ranked #4 in the country in Ear Nose & Throat , its hard to get a better opinion then that program or better care.
The only advice I can give is to choose the absolute BEST care available to you, after that there's nothing else you can control except for attitude and nutrition. So unless you are getting an opinion from Hopkins, Mass Gen, or MDAnderson I would stick w the Mayo.
Good luck
