Hi, I answered this for someone just last week, so someone here has your problem right now. I had the same flap you had and I thought my Doctor will really have to trim this one! It felt like a big pillow stuffed in my mouth. Slowly but surely it flattened out very nicely and feels just like the old mouth. I think talking and eating helped.All skin stretches and settles in with time. I thought with all they did to my neck and chin I would never be able to really turn my head both ways in a normal fashion.To my suprise I can. It takes time for all to heal.
