Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 10 | I had the radial forearm flap tongue surgery on 3/8/04 and am pleased with my results. I can eat almost anything (my left side needs water etc to wash things down). People think I talk well but I can't talk for prolonged periods of time without the flap side drying out and sticking to the roof of my mouth.
I have two questions:
-Being almost 6 months out, the flap side is still swollen what is your experience?
-How long before the side opposite node surgery swelling goes down? I have a double chin on the "good" side.
Thanks
