Amy,
Yes, it is interesting that we will always have the wrinkles on one side of the forehead only!
My surgery is "gracilis flap" for facial reanimation and smile. It's been a long road for me, and I've finally reached this stage where I am the perfect candidate.
I don't even think anyone on this forum has had this surgery so I will be the first. Fantastic surgeon at UW in Seattle. It all fell in place, thank GOD.
13 May is the day. Basically taking a piece of gracilis muscle from inner thigh, transplanting it into cheek area, using a face lift type incision. Using masseter nerve for nerve regeneration. I will be able to smile by biting down,at first.
Woo hoo, we'll see how it goes!
Then I too will have a brow lift in the fall along with another procedure called canthopexy to bring the outer corner up. I still can't blink, so the canthopexy will help with eye function.
Our fun never ends, eh?
Hope this is it for you.
Good luck!
Maureen
