I'm having scar revision and also having some tissue re-arranged under my jaw and chin and having the part of my bottom lip that has no feeling built up as it has sunk a bit since surgery. Implants begin after I heal from all this. My neck disection scar has caused alot of tethering in my neck, it's visable to anyone who looks. I am excited that this will loosen up my neck some.
How are you feeling? I do not have to stay overnight and the surgery is estimated to last about 4 hours.
Glad to hear from you!
