Hello I had squamous cancer on my bottom lip, which was cut out back in 2007. I lost pretty much my whole lower lip and a portion below my lip too. They did a graf and flap to help with movement and actually they put too much tissue in the place where they removed my lip and it's real puffy. Almost looks like I'm chewing tobacco. Embarrassing and deformed since then. I was always told there wasn't anything they could do because they now refer to it as being cosmetic. I guess that means I would have to pay out of pocket to try to look more normal.. such a terrible thing to be told. I live my life indoors or looking down all the time. Not how anyone should be. Recently someone asked how come insurance will pay for a woman to have breast implants after she had hers removed due to cancer. I was shocked. I feel our faces is the first thing that everyone sees so I would think our faces would be covered..
