Diagnosed with Ameloblastoma

My ameloblastoma tumor was successfully removed in July 2021 with a fibular free flap to harvest the bone for the resection in my upper right jaw. But I have been dealing with hyperplastic tissue growth after the temporary prosthetic was installed in October 2021, with removal procedures in January and March this year. I hope to have my permanent prosthetic installed in May, and will likely have to any hyperplastic tissue growth removed again.

I had neck resection done in 2023 with fibular free flap. I am still having trouble with walking on leg with free flap. Seems I have foot valgus & now need to wear a ft brace to correct it. Did you have any problems after sx? I received a partial denture in May, 2025, & am just getting used to that. Not eating with it yet.
