Preparing for a partial glossectomy: What can I expect?

I was concerned about throat issues after, can’t go back there.
Saw surgeon last week and he said the flap will get smaller over time.
I will wait and see.
Please post if you have it done and how it went. I am still struggling with swallowing at 6 months. Can’t risk healing time for flap as have lost too much weight.
Thanks Shane,
Logi

Hi @logi

I didn’t get my trimmed but supposedly I had one of the best surgeons around for it to perform the free flap and modified neck dissection surgery. Mine went down after about 2-3 months and I was age 55 at the time now 57.

God bless,
Rob
