Lucifen,
I have sent you a PM of the lovely portrait my grandson did of me shortly after the surgery. Our theme song at that time when I still had a nasal tube was a fovorite of his "I Have an Alien Up My Nose." He says that now he is older (11), has a sketch pad and artist's crayons he will do a better job.
I sat for a portrait painting class for four weekly sessions and no one realized that had a scar. This was a year after my surgery and most of the class knew me as we had taken the same class together several times.
Good luck,
Malka
