I saw my radiation oncologist to make sure the zygomatic bone had not received too much radiation during treatment. I will be going to a maxillofacial prosthodontist on Monday to speak with a specialist about the procedure. It is promising for patients with maxilla and palatal defects from surgery. I'll update here after the appointment.
