I just got back from the doctor - my surgeon does think that he would have good results in revising the scar. He said that he would use a skin graft from my thigh and thinks that it wouldn't be a problem. I'm not eager to rush into anymore surgery just yet - but it is good to know that it is an option if the scar tissue gets any tougher and causes any more trouble with my speech/eating.
