i had the surgery 8/3/06.  I  was told to come back in six months and i should have some movement.  I think my face is not as droopy as it was, but, again it is a slow process. You definitely do not see results immediately.   I was out of work for a week.  The only thing i don't like about the whole deal is my tongue feels fat like it did after my initial surgery and sometimes i think my speech is more like it was in the beginning. Oh and my ear does not have any feeling anymore, I can't explain it, but it almost feels "detached" even though it isn't.  I can't feel someone touching it, but i can feel when it is moved or tugged on.   I wear glasses since my initial surgery to remove the tumor and the glasses do not bother my ear.

Chris, sure hope all went well. I had the 7/12 op in early 1994 and all went very well. I don't smile as well as before as the right side of my face still has little motion but otherwise I think I'm still a hansome guy. My voice is a bit slurred but but I understand that new techniques improved that. I have no neck scar that I can see. My right eye still droops a bit and does not close so I have a gold bar in the lid. On a scale of 10 being back to normal, I'd say I'm about a 7 or 8. I'd certainly do it again. My slurred voice is not really bad but I'm not the public speaker that I was although I still do a bit of it... It took several months for my face to  finish the changing process so don't get impatient. My very best to you and if you have questions, fire away. Ed

Hi Chris and family,

I'm glad to hear that all went well with your surgery.  I'm sure you'll do great and will be flashing a full smile in no time at all.
