Hi Cathy,
Welcome. What sort of surgery did you have previously, and what are they considering now?

I am not in any way qualified to give you an opinion of what to do, or not to do. I find it revealing that you use the word "disfigurment" several times.

If you feel that way about your appearance from the original surgery, a second surgery may be a wise choice, especially if it resolves or eliminates the need for an appliance or prosthesis.

The surgery I underwent has left me with significant scars on my face, neck, arm and leg.
Cosmetically the scars on my face and neck might be marginally improved with additional surgery.

That said, I don't view myself as "disfigured"...I look at my face and see a roadmap of life experience. I don't find it necessarily attractive, I do view it to a degree as a badge of honor; I fought long and hard to be healthy, and the scars are proof of that.

You obviously have a different perception of the scarring, and that is entirely as it should be; we're different people. One thing that I have discovered is that other people care much less about the scars than I do.

The person inside is what's important, not the gift-wrap...I've been told that many times by the person I respect more than anyone else; my wife
