I thank you guys so much for exploring the various issues involved here.....and there are obviously several. I had a bit of a droop in my lower lip at first, after surgery, and it has gotten better gradually...actually was quickly not obvious to anyone but me....and now my fish face is just a bit out of round, but I can smile and that makes me happy. I am so fortunate that I did not have radiation, so my progress will either remain the same or get even better. I am hesitant to take a chance on trading this good outcome for more surgery. I will keep on trying to make my obturator appliance satisfactory, and then consider surgery if I can't get happy.

More input is always welcome. I didn't mean to shut this discussion down....just wanted to say that I am listening, and I thank you.
