Is anyone familiar with using a laser to remove scar tissue? When my surgery in April removed a small tumor from the inside of my cheek, there was alot of scar tissue left. This greatly restricts my mouth opening. Next week Im going to Phila which is kinda far for me to speak to a specialist. Both my current OS and ENT say it cant be fixed, at least it cant be fixed by them. Neither one wants to do anything. Does anyone have any experience in this?
