The mere fact that I can FEEL it boggles my mind.....Then there is the fact that is is looking weird.  I may be biting it during the night.....but just wondering.  I'm about 8 months out of surgery with a check-up coming up....but was just curious if anyone else has experienced sensation in the flap....then an irregularity on the flap.  Thanks.
